Is it just me, or was this a kind of "lack-luster" performance. You know, not a lot of the usual sexy/sensuality, chest bumping, hip grinding, crazy Adam style as usual ???
Still good, cuz it's Adam. Just felt watered down. Maybe cuz it's Tokyo?
I totally agree with you . Just seems to be missing something . Since the break after Singapore he doesn't seem to be himself as we've come to know him .
Well, I just got home after have been hardly working in my new Hells Kitchen and I had not time yet to watch the show, but I LOVE those two «Mr. Frank Sinatra hat appeal» first pictures and... then, about this «kiss pic»... Glamshit! I just can say it in a good Brazilian Portuguese language: «Porrrrrra meu, que BICUDO do caralho!!! Minha nossa!!!!» Fan4fun
Adam is performing in South East Asia, when it comes to love and lust, most people there do not show it all out like the west even if they love it. I think Adam did some background studies in their cultures. But I think the Japanese have showed the same degree of love to him. Look at the way they dance and cheer.
When in Rome do as the Romans do. Think this old adage still works. Adam is performing in a conservative part of the world, and thus, gearing his performances to conform. There is another old saying, everyone's a critic. He's still in that same old bubble, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Oh well! Somethings never change.
What's wrong with just being honest about how you perceive the show ? Whenever there's the slightest criticism or negative comment re Adam some ppl get all defensive and - dont want to hear it. It doesnt mean we dont appreciate his talent OR him . We're just callin it like we see it . He IS human and not always perfect .
We have not seen many vids, but how anyone can call what we have seen "lackluster" is beyond me. Geezuz. How about waiting till you see the whole show HMMMMM? Adam can't win, for sure.
Sure hope we get to see more than the encore. Will check in later today. Notice that these videos are coming in piece meal. This is not a criticism, so don't beat me up. Feel very lucky to being getting what we are getting. Fans seems to love him as usual. I bought a new computer so these feeds would not continually shut down. My old computer crashed so often I thought it was the Stock Market. Refuse to critique this show or others, as I am happy if he just stands there and sings at us. My needs are not many.
From past posts, the Japan fan's include alot of younger age groups down to under 10 years old. Of course we cannot see this from this 20th Century Boy video - but the greets at the airport and autograph signings he had done shows this.
Adam is learning about each country's cultures and I am sure takes this into account in his performances. He is one smart performer. I for one can't wait to see what he does in Australia!!
Adam tweeted that he wanted to "kill it" in Tokyo and I think he did vocally which is what really matters. Lots of audience interaction in this clip and no shortage of GB. I'm sure he tones it down to suit the culture.
Frankly, just standing on a street corner, wearing a baseball cap and old clothes, he would still be dripping with sexuality imo
This is why I love 24/7....people are here to stop you dead in your tracks the second you have a miscalculated choice of words, or even a somewhat luke-warm sentiment. Then comes the "pile-on".
Anon @ 10:18: I don't believe what I said determined that I was unsatisfied. On the contrary, I'm an avid fan and Adam could stand on a stool throughout and I'd be satisfied. So maybe lack-luster wasn't the best choice of words for you Elizabeth from Canada. Maybe I should've said "different" than is his norm.
At any rate, my original post was just MY observation, plain and simple.
I think the above commenters who said Adam tailors his performance to the audience is correct. Also he has said that some of these "moments" just happen he doesnt plan them that also comes from the audience, and as has been mentioned his vocals are immaculate. In saying that I am seeing him Sydney which is the gay capital of Australia, so we could be in for a treat, so bring it on. Cant wait.
I followed the show on twitter, where @mindchngr gave us information the whole time. She said it was the best show ever. The sound was terrific, his voice out of this world. He was on fire and looked so happy. He was on his knees touching hand on front row ppl. "his junk is enormous and stares me in the eyes" What does she mean? I´m from Sweden, I don´t know lol. The crowd was violent, pushed their way to the front. The energy was wild. I don´t think we should worry that he´s "lack-lustering". Eva
Dear Serena, having been on the bottom of the pile on occasion, I now give most of my opinions with a disclaimer. "Please don't send the Adam Police, but..." and I can skate by with an unpopular opinion. And Serena, Adam was very subdued during the encore. Just a few weeks ago he was on the floor, so we all saw what you were referring to. I read a piece from a Manila Paper saying they were afraid he would be too frisky and tongue dive, then the post disappeared. But I'm sure his people have made him aware that this is Asia and to act accordingly. Think that picture of Monte where he looked totally shocked that Adam kissed Tommy in his first Asian show. While it was priceless, it was a very real reaction from Papa Bear.
Hi all, it's your imagination !!! your expectation of something MORE outrageous out of ordinary, and when it did not exist ==> you ended up disspointing...that's why !! ADAM is HOT and ENERGETIC and SEXY as usual !! Yes, he has little precaution just like in some venues in the states in small city.....not too much licking or kissing...so what? it does not make him less enthousiast nor less energy !! YES YOUR IMAGINATION PERIOD !!!!
Adam is a smart, respectful man in a foreign country, who also represents ours. He always gives his best performance. The impromptu, frisky stuff is gravy and his audience and location is wisely considered. Looks like the audience was very happy! Security is also very tight and it had to be very difficult to take any videos. Even cell phones were't allowed. Not to worry, he pushes the envelope when he can. The voice and dance moves are still there! funbunn40
Ha, Ha, the post at 2:41 had me howling. "His Junk" what does she mean? I think that's a boat or is that a junket, maybe it things that are worthless, thrown away? NO! Can't be right. Eva you are truly priceless! Have someone close, I mean real close explain it to you. LOL a fan of Eva's.
Saw a few more songs from last night in Tokoyo on another site, and women throwing looked like underwear on the stage. Hardly the conservative people I keep reading about. Gotta love the look on Adam's face when these thing fly at him. And Eva,no one laughing at you, just with you. Language slang can sometimes be very difficult. I am an American and I don't always get some slang words. LOL
we all of us should be thankful we are seeing him in all these countrys. thanx to people who take these videos and put them up for us. don't be so judgemental just be thankful we can see our boy. lol
Asking anyone on 24/7 to be nonjudgemental is like, to quote Simon, "Asking Adam not to be theatrical; that's what he is!" I've been on the bottom of the pile way to many times on this thread if I even hint at something. Some of the peeps on this site carry daggers to the pile. And, yes, I even have marks all over my body where I've been touched with ten foot poles.
Serena (meaning serenity for all of you in Rio Linda), that's why I'm remaining anon on this post. It can get ugly, really ugly.
""his junk is enormous and stares me in the eyes" ooohhhh, Eva, I would love to have his JUNK stare me in the face!! AND,,,,,,,,,his tea bags sitting on my nose!! hehehe
Diversity! Isn't that what Adam's all about. Well we have diversity by the boatload on this site. But thanks to Eva who gave us some comic relief and put things back in perspective again. Quite sure everyone friends on this site, it's all that pirate talk from Adam. Since we did not get to go on this ship, we have stuck our petards in, along with our 2cents, but ain't it fun. "Junk is Junk" honey, anyway you look at it! I'm remaining anonymous until I know it's safe to surface.
OK Adams voice is amazing . But sometimes he's better than other times.He's even been known to forget the words to his songs in concert .Coincidentally(?)after a couple of nites of drinking and mingling-- very unprofessional Fabulous performer but has a lot of maturing to do on and off stage
Gee, after 72 concerts night after night with vey limited days off, seldom two days in a row sleeping and living on a rocking bus, doing interviews and visiting schools for charity, there has been only one performance of one song that he fluffed the words. [I've actually watched every single video from every venue since the GNT started, my fixation.] You seem very fixated on alcohol in general and very disturbed if Adam has a drink, which doesn't mean he is out of control or acting inappropriately at all. I believe you've commented on Adam drinking before, implying that he is a party animal that drinks every day.Believe me, if he did, he coild never keep up his grueling pace. What he does on his days off is pretty tame and if he chooses to have a drink, it's not illegal or immoral since he's a grown man of legal age. I greatly disagree that he is an unprofessional performer or has a lot of maturing to do on and off stage. I think it is more a matter of personal taste and unsubstantiated biased assumption on your part, but just my opinion. Seems as tho' alcohol is a moral issue for you. funbunn40
Wish the video of Brooke and Adam dancing during intro had been zoomed in on, but still grateful that we have these with the tight security and excitement. Looked pretty good, even from a distance! Tokyo fans so great!! Adam and glamily must be on cloud 9!!! funbunn40
Love the smashing turquoise hat on Adam! Looks like he did some serious shopping and knows great quality and fashion. It really is beautiful and he has the pizazz to pull it off! funbunn40
What does Adam say to Monte as he walks over to introduce him after "playing" with Tommy's bass Is he asking "did he like it"then "sort of?" couldn't tell Don't know why these things interest me but they do- gotta love them
I think I will just have to have a drink and contemplate all the above, but if I have just one drink,I might still be judgmental. Now a second drink might loosen me enough to be mildly enthusiastic, and a touch silly in my review. A third drink, if strong enough, will probably push me into being a little wild, and looking for any kind of junk to be thrown my way. The Fourth, well, the forth will have me leaping on the stage, and trying to disrobe until security escorts me out. Thank you 9:28 for allowing me to get a little tipsy and dipsy. And 6:18, it was does a cow moo? But since I have had a fifth drink, don't know WTF I'm talking about. LOL or AA, whatever comes first.
ADAM just may be toning down in lieu of his Phillipine appearance since there was an observation in one of their papers that 'perhaps ADAM's show is for ADULTS only' ... albeit a 'croc' ... but nevertheless ADAM is smart to give them 'nothing' to criticize until his appearance there. Maybe his management asked him to 'go easy'. There's been a lot of controversy going on over there that I have been reading on Google. Won't hurt to be cautious ... but that's JMO! I wouldn't care if he just stood there & sang ... to me ADAM is still the King of Glam Rock!! Love & Light to ALL Glamberts Worldwide
