Adam Lambert 24/7 News

wonderful concert and thanks for all the vids.

Adam simply must talk to his background singers and tell them that they cannot play with their hair, rub their faces and things of this sort while Adam is singing. They are just unprofessional acting in front of huge crowds. I have nothing against their weight or their beautiful voices. Adam is too polished to be juxtaposed with these two women. They need to go to finishing school-don't laugh, now, because I am from the South where ladies had to go to finishing school to become polished for society. Please, Adam, all they need is some "schoolin'", as you so aptly sing in "WHOLE LOTTA LOVE".

Well said, 8:29, but we both know it isn't going to happen.

day 3-perfect concert-tokyo- adam heavenly voice-perfect singing.

What a treat watching this tour take place. Adam belongs on stage,just amazing vocals and stage presence. I thank God everyday that I am able to witness this amazing man and his journey! We will get a lull while he is making album #3 but always have all kinds of videos to watch again. Thank you to everyone that took the videos and posted them!

The ladies even move sloppily and in an unprofessional manner, just like Johnny Rice does. Ashley's demeanor is just as bad, imo. She acts like it's just a job. The rest of the Glamily rocks.

@8:29: Not well said IMHO. The world is full of differences, being unpolished in your opinion is "a difference", probably not the least bit remarkable or offensive in any way to many, or even most. Adam embraces differences, various POV's, even shortcomings! I choose to look at the interesting parts of why Adam stages his music as he does (the retro funk feel of the backup singers etc, fascinating look in to HIS mind IMHO) Why do we have to nitpick? I simply do not understand ... but I guess that's just me and my issue & problem, carry on, as I know you will

Thank you to all who posted these vids so that we can all enjoy these precious moments of watching Adam perform (and the Glamily) .

This performance, Day 3, of Stay was absolutely incredible IMO. all of them were stunning but the 3rd my fav.....sigh

i don't know if Adam would ever get rid of the background singers or the dancers since they are his friends. I agree with some of the comments here about their behavior which could be distracting. They should be to the side and not directly in back of Adam as he performs. Who knows if he ever will change the format for his performances. I am all about his voice and would be happy if he just sang(much as Adele does(, but that is not Adam's style. He wants to entertain, to put on a show, but we all have suggestions and comments about how he should put a stage show together. It comes down to personal preference, but in the end, it is up to Adam and what he wants. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens once his third album is released and the next tour is planned. In the meantime I will enjoy these vids that we are able see each day of the next stop on his Trespassing non-tour.

I think the back up singers do a great job and I wish everyone would stop criticising them. It's Adams band and he loves them so enough said, leave Adam to run his show as he sees fit and show some respect, I think his whole band and the singers are doing a bloody good job.

How many times must you people be reminded that you can not post on this site unless you are riding winged unicorns jumping over rainbows??

I remind myself that we are looking at stage performances and what we see in videos is deceptive. I've seen Adam 4 times and I had to force my eyes to glance at the others on the stage. In no way did anyone ever distract from his magnetism. He is the star!

I find the dancers extremely distracting this time around. I think it's the silly interaction. I can't stand Johnny's prissiness. I try to ignore him, but it's hard. When Adam said he's trying a new direction next album, I pray it doesn't include dancers.

The audience loves when he wails!!

I can't stand Johnny's prissiness either(Good word for it!). And I, too, hope Adam's next album does not include dancers. One last hope while I'm at it, LOL... I hope he does something about the singers' FLAILING-ALL-OVER-THE-PLACE arms!

The truth is - when Adam is singing, no one should be looking at anyone on stage EXCEPT Adam. If you keep your eyes on him, you will not notice any distractions.

Carolyn, I've never seen Adam live since he's performed with the Vajayja's wigs and arms flailing and Johnny. I think the farther from the stage a person is, the more distracting these performers would be.

1:00 That is easy to do when you are very close to the front row. It is harder to shut everyone else out when you are further back.

At least Terrence can dance, but I think he has to dumb his dance down for Johnny. Johnny seems like a nice enough guy, but Terrence rarely shows us what he's got since he's been with Johnny.

@1:10 maybe it's because they are playing on smaller stages this tour so there isn't as much room to do big dancing like Terrance can do.
I think Terrance and Johnny act as a frame (a moving one, yes) for Adam - and the light is always on Adam so I don't have a problem with all the extra activity. They add energy to the stage.

To 1:04, good point. I think things will evolve as they always do with Adam. He likes a good show and I love that he has so much fun on stage.

Well, I guess I'm the Lone Ranger on this one. If you want a techno-looking, precise, robotic performer with identically moving dancers, then I guess Gaga or Katy or some other huge acts with tons of anonymous, identical dancers, etc. is just for you.

Adam's act has a warmth and friendliness and a sly humor that I don't see in other even bigger acts. He's natural and fun and spontaneous. I do love that little bit of choreography he does with the dancers. He says he's not a good dancer, but he does just find and it adds fun to the show. I love how he introduced the dancers. They are just plain fun to me. I can take some prissiness. Johnny is Johnny. I agree that this show will evolve more, even as it has already. As for the girls, they have performed with many other acts. Are they rudely criticized by everyone else who sees them, too? They are experienced and talented singers. Do other singers who they have sung back-up for force them to stand over to the side all the time because they are too fat or they wave their arms? Do they participate in the act for other singers like they do with Adam?? I don't know. I just choose to sit hack and enjoy the whole damn thing each time. Adam and his entourage are up there having fun and so is the audience. I find the whole thing very enjoyable.
If I want to nit-pick, I'll concentrate on my mother-in-law.

It's not nit-picking. We're are not trying to find fault in insignificant details.
My mother-in-law brought up dust on my blinds after I spent hours cleaning before she came to make my house look nice, so I can relate to your mother-in-law issues.

Oh good , a change of targets! For several years I used to dread my mother in laws visits......she was never still and obviously my house was never clean enough......she would vacuum in the middle of a conversation, dust already clean window sills, etc. I would seethe with anger, but then I just gave up and let her clean constantly while she was visiting. It made her happy.....she's gone now.....she left goodbyes for everyone. In mine she said, "I never thought my boy would be so lucky to find a girl like you".

Some people are only content to be busy at all times and there are those like me.....perfectly at ease lying inert with book or music....a happy lump!.............JAK

Relevant how?

Just to tie this whole thing up, I actually LOVE my mother-in-law. Just using her as an example of how we can go looking for flaws in everything and everybody. I love Adam and his whole entourage and I am embracing every valuable moment I can. It's not that deep, at least to me.

DRG (JAK, I have a sister-in-law who I love in many ways, but she's a clean freak to the point of kookiness.)

Where is Broken English from Tokyo Day3?
Please post a link?

It seems obvious that Adam doesn’t like to be on his own when performing – without people flailing, wailing and prancing around him. Even when he doesn’t have backup singers and dancers, he “plays” with the band. I don’t think he needs backup singers and dancers but that’s the way it is because that’s what Adam likes.
