When Adam left the stage I could physically feel the difference in energy. The room faded like a there was a short in an electrical wire, the energy was still there but it just wasn’t making a connection any more or perhaps had just dimmed. When Adam walked back on stage the dim light turned into a huge cycle of strobe that that came around and came back around to you multiplied
I attribute that to fans just not really supporting his choices and wanting what they want when they want it no matter what. He wanted the interlude, the VaJayJays to take over and obviously needed a minute to change and cool down. But of course, they think he's a robot and should be ON ON ON at full power the entire time without even thinking about it.
Fans could have participated more just to help a bitch out IMO. I will admit he might consider practicing how long the interlude takes but if he's "safe" with friends/fans it really shouldn't matter. Also Brian, being the very experienced tour guy he is should have been more front and center, too.
Naw, IMO and from seeing the actual dynamic his energy is just that powerful. People were into whatever the fuck he wanted to do!!!

A couple thought about the backup singers. After Adam's costume change, he comes back on and gushes about them and how he's got to up his game (don't remember the actual words). But that made me think about how often I've watched huge-name performers and marveled that the real singers on stage were the back-ups--not the star. Anyone else notice that? Sometimes I'd like to just get a hook out to drag the star off stage and let the real singers loose. :D Fortunately, that is not an issue with Adam.
Also, as a somewhat overweight woman myself, I admire how they move with fluidity, sexiness, and complete confidence. Even before I was overweight, I didn't have that comfort with my body. For me, they are great examples of owning and embracing a type of figure that is not found on the pop stage.

I agree, grandduchess, it's just Adam's aura, charisma, power, etc. He walks in a room and you know it before you see him. << sounds corny, but it's true.

Yeah, except every-time I walked out of an area/room Adam or Sauli appeared. People kept wanting me to go away!
Sorry I missed you in CM!!

I LOVE the back up singers AND Brian. I'm a dog walker, I walk easily several miles a day. I'm sure I couldn't do what they do for an hour or two while SINGING correctly LOL. No way in HELL I could do 1/4 of what Adam does for the time he's doing it!

My point was that while Adam was off stage the fans could have been more understanding and participatory instead of being so quick to judge. "Interlude FAIL" "WTF" "OMG WHAT HAPPENED?" "get these singers off the stage" blah blah blah.
No one is disputing his stage presence. IMO die hard fans should be as willing to GIVE as to TAKE.

No really they were still into what was on stage, still dancing etc but... he did it so quickly they were confused!! But so was the Band! Someone spoke with Tommy and as this is third hand take what you will, but it seems Adam's "plan" was to do whatever seemed natural to him at the time!

Fuck y'all! I just read the thread! And I haven't had any coffee yet. Tomorrow I have a doctor's visit and they will do a routine check of my blood pressure. What am I going to say when it is still 206/89?

Yes, I believe Catz got a ride back -- she got multiple offers.
How do I PM you Q3? I have a little something for you.

That's a pretty harsh judgement of Adam's fans. I totally disagree. The difference in energy had nothing to do with lack of fan support for Adam or his band/backups at all. And I don't believe that anyone thinks that Adam is a robot. In my experience, the excitement always diminishes when the *STAR* leaves the stage and comes back full force bright when they return. This is normal. 8-)

I talked to Tommy for a few minutes afterward. Told him it was more like a happening than a show as it was pretty much unstructured. He laughed and said they were discussing what to do with all the time they had (no opener) and Adam pretty much said "wing it"! So that's what they did!

Yes on the give part. But maybe they were just as surprised as we were while watching the stream. I think everyone was caught off guard. Best fans' reactions come from years of 'practicing', like the Radio GaGa clap. It would be interesting for someone who knows the history of that to explain it. Since Glamberts are well-coordinated, maybe they can short cut it, come up with something cool to do, there can be a 'Trespassing' clap, for example, done in unison. Some reactions were born spontaneously, like the support during 'I'm a freak, but thanks for loving me'; it never fails, I think. Others can maybe be planned by fans. Perhaps they can surprise HIM next time, for a change
Oh. My. God! I need to find some time to watch these videos.....I'm having withdrawl!!!!! I have a feeling I'll be biting my lip.........again! Lol ILH. So much fun!!
