Regarding all this talk about age--------I remember when I was a little girl, I saw Elvis on TV-and just about everywhere----being surrounded by screaming teenage girls and women who were much older, as well. It didn't even dawn on me to think there was anything odd or unusual about the disparity in the ages of all the adoring fans. The heart responds to what it loves....at any age. And all I could really see was the absolute ecstasy in their faces as they reached out to try and touch "The King." Fast forward to all these years later, and I'm reading about all these comments about Adam's fans. Of course he has fans of all ages! Like Elvis, he transcends all stereotypes, because he's THAT good! So I'm thinking about this as I checked FB this morning and coincidentally, I came across this quote by the actor Richard Gere: "I am old but I am forever young at heart. WE ARE ALWAYS THE SAME AGE INSIDE.Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious.You can only live it once.Do not regret growing older. It's a privilege denied to many." Richard Gere
Our Adam is a very wise man---wise beyond his years. He has always mentioned AGE when he speaks about inclusiveness in relation to his fan base. That is why, even when I had to be in a wheelchair following ankle reconstructive surgery several years ago, I still felt it would be okay to see Adam and go to his concert. Even if others might think I wasn't cool enough to be there, I felt that if Adam ,by chance should happen to see me, he wouldn't turn away--but might even bless me with his beautiful smile. And here I am , still having to use my walker---but all I can think of is how excited and fortunate I am to be able to see him again in Los Angeles. Someday, I hope to achieve Adam's wisdom and kindness----- I love this quote!! It is so true, we all are still young inside!! Thank you for sharing!! |

That blinking crown is really, really annoying. I also think it annoys Adam. He certainly completely ignores them. I was at one concert where a group of Queen fans had security make her take off the crown because it was blocking their view. (Not me BTW) Interesting. I am going to express what is probably an unpopular opinion. I think that some fan behavior at Adam concerts is inconsiderate of other concert attendees. This is one example. Fans who stand and dance while others are sitting and trying to watch behind them is another. I frequently read fans responding that a)they bought a ticket and that gives them the right to stand or do whatever else they want to at the concert, b) that standing and dancing, or wearing flashing headpieces, or standing on a seat, or whatever else is acceptable, expected, appropriate rock concert behavior, and the complaining audience member shouldn't come if they don't like it, or c) Adam likes it when the audience is standing, dancing and rowdy, so they are doing it for HIM, and the complainers aren't giving Adam the feedback he enjoys. But, what about the other people who paid an equal amount of money to see Adam perform? What about their rights? If there is a seat at a concert with an obstructed view, it is either not sold, or it is sold with the disclaimer that the ticket holder's view will be obstructed. They CHOOSE to attend with that caveat. The person who chooses to buy a seated ticket with an unobstructed view, especially if there are GA tickets also available, has a reasonable expectation that they will be able to SEE Adam without standing. I don't get why the standee's right HeWhoCannot ameds the seated person's right. Especially when there is an option to buy a GA ticket and stand/dance all they want. I have read people write that they buy a seated ticket because they cannot stand for the entire concert, so they want the option to sit WHEN THEY WANT TO. Don't other concert goers have that option, too, without having their view obstructed? What if they CANNOT stand for any amount of time? I guess if they are in a wheelchair, people wouldn't stand in front of them? Or would they? I get that some people feel that if they cannot stand and dance at an Adam concert, it impairs their overall enjoyment. So does someone who stands in front of me and forces me to stand just to see Adam, even if it is very uncomfortable for me, and even tho I bought a seat because of my limitations. Being in pain, or being unable to see Adam at all impairs my overall enjoyment of the experience more than not being able to dance, IMO. Yeah, I know the opinion is unpopular. But, I think it deserves some consideration. YMMV. Thank you cassie! I completely agree with your opinion.  I always buy a seat just because I can't stand during the whole concert, especially since the start of the concert have to wait so long (The only time I've bought GA ticket, was the concert in Krakow, but almost half of the time I had to sit on the floor between people's legs, so that Queenal and Shimoli had to protect me (thank you girls), so that people have not trampled me.) Also often is wondered, why some people do not dance in Adam's concert. I am usually the one who always dance and cavort in concerts, I just can not be quietly, because the music takes me completely.  Adam's concert is an exception: I 'm like hypnotized, my whole attention and all my energies focused on 1000 per cent to fall upon Adam, and although I would like to I can hardly move or to sing.  |

Regarding the discussion about Adam's different appearance when you meet him in reality vs. what you see on pics, I have to say that I was also a little surprised that he wasn't as tall as I expected him to be! And, like some of you already wrote, to me he also looked very delicate! You know, we often see pics of him like these here, where he shows of his muscular arms, etc. ...  ... and this was what he looked like when we met him last year, totally different in his suit, he looked truly delicate! And I agree, his "graceful" movements add to this impression, so he appeared completely different than what we sometimes see of him on stage!  Unfortunately I couldn't see his eyes both times when we met him cause he was wearing sunglasses on both days! But he definitely had "something" around him, that made me feel calm and comfortable, when I stood next to him. (...even though I was totally nervous and excited shortly before, lol!!!)  |

Hi Ann (Ms Triple A), I didn't get on with my parents either, although I loved my grandmother, but I have always had a diverse group of friends, including older friends, and even now have many friends in their 50' and 60's, so to me, it just isn't an issue. But fair point, I suppose..  Speaking for myself, it's a lot more fun being 60 than 16!! - I love this!

I've never had a meet and greet ,but I have been a few feet away from Adam a number of times.. I agree He looks much mightier on the
stage,but I don't think he looks delicate off the stage.I think he looks like a thin, tall good looking regular guy.When I think of delicate I think
of the singer Troye Sivan
Is it true that being on TV makes you look heavier??

Hi butterfly!  AWWW, I have such wonderful memories of the QAL show in Krakow. Meeting you and Queenal and ivaalambert there. And I'm glad after the concert had started you were okay and managed to stay and dance all the time. We had so much fun! :D I hope we can meet each other again on an Adam's or QAL concert in the future.  |
