I happen to be one of those folks who cannot stand for a long time. I don't think that should deny me the experience of seeing QAL live. The most recent concert I attended, there was a group of tall men in the row in front of me, and even when I stood, I could not see over their heads. I watched much of the concert on the screens, and it was frustrating. I do understand the argument for getting caught up in the moment and throwing raucous energy back to Adam and the band. For standing so one can dance and jump and feel like you are fully participating in the experience. But I am considering not going to more QAL concerts because I cannot SEE the performance live (of course the very drunk gal screaming and singing off key and falling down in the row behind me is also a disincentive). As amazing as this show was, and as other-worldly as Adam sounded live, the experience was fraught with frustration for me. cassie , I am right there with you ... and add in the fact that my ears can't handle the loud amplified sound (I have tinnitus from the first few concerts I attended without ear protection) ... but watching videos is just not the same as hearing that glorious voice live! So here is my solution ... First, I look for front row seats, either on the raised side sections or the balcony. That way no one is in front of me, and I don't have to stand to be able to see. (An added bonus is these seats are much less expensive than VIP's, so I can afford to travel further to a concert...that's how I ended up in New Orleans last month!) And second, I use the Etymotic earplugs for the whole concert ... I find it reduces the audience's noise even more than the music, so it vastly improves my listening pleasure. Adam's voice still comes thru loud and clear! I hope you will find solutions that work for you so you can continue to experience live Adam!

Back awhile, it was said Adam is 6'1". It was also said Javi was about 5'10".
I am surprised at comments on body exposure. Europeans generally are not as concerned with body parts being seen. My German co-worker has commented that going in a sauna in Germany is generally nude whether 10 or 80 years old male or female.
I was on an island in the Mediterranean and a family was having a picnic and all we nude -grandparents, parents and kids. No thought about it.
The US is very conservative for the most part, however, we have many from around the world here, and they do not perceive nor always understand our "customs".

The US is ridiculous and hypocritical about the things it gets "outraged" over...all driven by the evangelicals (for the most part) that then get caught doing the very things they preach against. I grew up in Germany (left in 1972). Ads on TV regularly included nudity and nobody blinked. Javi's pic is gorgeous...he is a beautiful young man.

m45maiaI scrolled back through posts and didn't see anyone commenting negatively about semi-nudity or even nudity, so I am not sure what you are refering to. If you took my comment about "level of physical self display" to be about nudity, then I didn't explain myself well. I was talking about the sheer number of photos that people post of themselves and influencer culture. I totally fine with nudity as long as it is the choice of the nude person and not shown with intent to harm or shame.

I'm pretty sure Javi is a few inches shorter than Adam. Adam hovers between 6' and 6'1" depending on the day. I've heard him say one or the other on occasion, when asked. We've seen them standing together. My guess is that Javi is about 5'11" or so. Pretty tall in comparison to Adam's previous BFs. As to Javi's new photo, I think models (and good-looking people in general) are pretty darn confident about their looks, although this one is very revealing. Adam rarely shows us much skin. Maybe some bare shoulders and arms. And he does wear shorts. I'm fine with however much he chooses to show us. Anything new about that American Top 40 thing that happened yesterday? Was it anything? I just have it jotted down and was wondering what it was. I have been streaming all morning while doing other stuff. Feels like I've helped a bit. And I learned some Lana Del Ray lyrics today. I do think Javi used them about Adam. I agree with that. Adam is a very sexy man but I appreciate that he does not see the need to pose or post a lot of pictures of himself half dressed or undressed for attention. He commands attention with his looks and class by just showing up with that shirt open, lol. He oozes sex appeal without trying very hard, imo. One of the reasons I can't stand Levine is his constant need to show off what he thinks is a great body. Super Bowl anyone. Nick Jonas has a very nice body and build (not as skinny as Levine) but going shirtless or in his underwear a lot does not make me find him sexy or interesting. There has to be more to offer than taking off your shirt for no apparent reason. I have read that Javi wants to be (or is) a model so his posing and pictures would be in line with that.
