Yeah, I've decided to move because... Blogger is too boring for me. And Tumblr is fun. Like... Twitter!!!! But I can't bear to delete this blog because it brings back memories. So I've decided to delete everything else except two very important and special posts. :)
Exactly one week ago I was at F1, experiencing the Glam Nation Tour and Adam in action!! I promised myself I just had to blog about the whole experience (His Glamnation tour & meeting him) cause otherwise I'd feel incomplete, just, this sense of incompleteness, haha.
Anyway, last Saturday!! I was with Genie and Gilaine, and we reached City Hall at 3, we went early cause I thought we had to queue early for the concert but I realised the queue for Adam's concert only started at 6, lol. Valerie and her friend, Zoe joined us at 5 plus!
Queuing at the fan zone for Adam's performance while Daughtry was singing! Chris Daughtry and his baaaaaaaaand playing! Wasn't that interested so we didn't enter the fan zone, queued for Adam's instead! There you go, my fat fingers. Daughtry left the stage at around 7, if I'm not right and we waited for Adam to come on at 11.
I was part of the VIP Meet and Greet event (for Adam) so at 8 pm I was told to gather at the backdoor behind the stage. For one whole hour before 8 o clock, I swear I was so nervous my heart was beating so loudly in my chest I was just sooooo nervous, the thought of meeting Adam was too much for me to take in! So you can imagine how I must have felt for that one hour wait.
Oh gosh.
Then it was time for me to gather at the backdoor, and I went at 8 on the dot and saw so many people gathered there. Then I saw Neil!!!!! Neil is Adam's brother, who is in charge of his Tour Meet & Greets, as well as the Photographer for the Meet & Greets, lol yes. Everyone was already there, crowding around Neil and asking for photos, and I was the last! So I went up to him and he said, "Oh hi! Are you Hannah?" and I said, "Yes!" and he handed me my VIP tour laminate pass. It's so kewllll. I hung it around my neck.
I met my friend, Colette, at the Meet and Greet too, her mum bought passes for herself and her two daughters, insanity!!! I wish my mum was like that.
As everyone was present, Neil led us into Daughtry's dressing room to wait for Adam's arrival from the hotel. Obviously Daughtry was gone already, we just waited in his dressing room. Come to think of it, I have no idea why he needs a dressing room. All he wore for his performance was shirt and jeans.
Hollywood mirrors! It was air- conditioned. Everyone thanked Neil for being so nice! He's not as scary as I thought he was, as he's always picking out fans on twitter and scolding them, it's scary. But he's really nice! Waiting for Adam's arrival. Then they led us outside again. This is Neil. Yes he doesn't look like Adam, I get that. We waited outside this space separated by a curtain.
Then the Glam Troupe arrived!!!!! Glam Troupe = Adam's band + Dancers!!
They walked straight in, looking so tired. :(
I was kind of amazed when I saw them, just couldn't really believe my eyes.
And there were very little Stans present at the Meet and Greet, so a lot of them didn't know the Glam Troupe that well, everyone only knew Tommy, the bass player, who gets a lot of attention.
(He's the one Adam tongued at the AMAs and the one Adam's been tongue-ing for his Tour concerts ever since, yep)
I felt really bad cause everyone only shouted Tommy's name and he was adorable, he smiled and waved to all of us, I saw him waving at me!
I saw Sasha!! His dancer, and I was the only retard shouting "Sasha! Sasha!" and she turned around too see who was calling her but she didn't manage to see me (I think). Oh well, at least she knew someone loves her :)
They walked in too fast, and I wanted to take a photo but was too late. Yeah.
This is Lane, Adam's minder. She takes care of him and makes sure he is healthy and well. I wish I could have her job. Just for a day. Luckiest girl on earth, cause he's gay.
Then they opened the curtain a little bit and we saw Adam!!!!!!!! Everyone started going crazy lol. I was so happy when I saw him cause he wasn't wearing his top hat, his top black hat he's been wearing for his recent Meet And Greets, I loooove seeibng his hair. His hair was perfect. And he looked so extremely beautiful.
At this point of time I was literally freaking out. My heart was pounding and I was so nervous and excited and my mind was kinda blank. It was crazy!!!!!
They asked us to group in fours as we were going in four by four. So I grouped with Colette and her mum and sister lol. Everyone was so scared to go in first!! They were pushing each other lol.
My group was third, I think. The first two groups took a bit of time, but when it was out turn, it was reaaaally fast.
We walked in, and I WAS TREMBLING. I SAW HIM AND I WAS TREMBLING. It was still unbelievable, seeing him up close. This time was different from the time I met him at the autograph session in March, he looked so beautiful! And he slimmed down a lot, and he looked perfect! He was just like what, 2 metres away from me I was freaking out and my mind went blank for a few seconds. Colette and her fam went forward to say hi and I was kinda slow, my brain took some time to process what I saw actually seeing so I was kind of slow. Then I walked up to him when he was greeting Colette and her fam and saying "Nice to meet you".
Then. He saw me and. Omg. He smiled and waved at me and said, "Hi!!!" in his super cute excited happy expression. I was.... Ok never mind, I saw him shaking hands with Colette and her fam, and I said, "Adam, can I hug you?" and he said, "Yeahhh sure!!!" AND HE BENT DOWN AND GAVE ME A BIG HUG. Omg. He is so warm and huggy if he wasn't so tall (like I said, he had to bent down and I had to stretch up), I would never have let go of that body. Couldn't actually believe my body was touching his. So close. Goodness me.
And Colette and all were like, "Adam can I hug you too??" Lol! And he said, "Yeah!! Hugs are good!" SO ADORABLE. And he hugged them too. Then they let him signed their phones and I asked him to sign my lambliff photo!
Later it was signed by Tommy at the airport too! :)
Then I gave him this peacock ring!!!! I got it from diva cause it had all his favourite colours, and peacock is sooo Adam! He's always having peacock feathers so I just had to get this. Genie said I should too, so I did did!!!
I walked up to him and gave him the ring, and said, "Adam, this is for you! It's a peacock ring."
And he looked at me and he said, "Awwww! Thank you!!" in his SUPER CUTE HIGH VOICE of his AND SUDDENLY LEANED FORWARD AND GAVE ME ANOTHER BIG HUG.
Omg, that hug was so sudden! It was totally initiated by him I didn't even see it coming he just bent down to hug me!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit.
He is a total hugger, I love him sfm!
Then it was time for photo taking, I passed the DSLR genie lent me to one of the photographers for him to take me and Adam.
I was freaking out. This was the moment where I totally TREMBLED. I stood next to him and I could feel my face tremble. I was freaking the shit out. I actually said, "omg" and I was freaking out and he saw me freaking out and he giggled in his cute little Adam laugh I always love!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wtfffff omg! He's soooooo adorable!
THEN HE PUT HIS ARM ON MY SHOULDER. YES. WTF. I was dying inside. I just couldn't... Omg and I was freaking out.
Pictures!!!!!! The photographer took 3, lol.
Don't be fooled by my smile, I was dying inside! This picture was taken by Neil, the photographer for his meet and greets, he used his own camera. It was posted on the fansite! But the pictures on Genie's DSLR is so much nicer. Even Adam looks better there. Maaaaan luckily I brought hers along!
Then when it was time, I told him he was beautiful and said, "I can't wait for your performance!!!" and he said, "Yeaaaah it's gonna be exciting!!!" and smiled his widest cutest smile EVER. Died. I said bye and he said bye and we left!
Yeah it was really short, but TOTALLY WORTH IT.
CRAY CRAY CRAY CRAYYYYYYY IT WAS SO CRAYYYYYYY
(Crazy)
Then Neil told all of us we had priority for the front row for his concert!! Means we were allowed into the fanzone first while the rest queued oustide for one more hour.
Stage!!! I had trouble finding the perfect spot. I wanted to pick the middle middle! But I saw everyone rush to the side and I realized the side view was really good and you can see him really well just that it is at the side. And I was afraid the middle would be blocked by camera, plus the stage was high up and I was afraid I would only see his face lol.
I took forever to find a perfect spot. I even called Genie and Debbie to advice on where to pick, lol! In the end I chose this spot! At the edge, so I could see him walking down the stairs and see him straight up front.
We waited for about 45 minutes before they let the crowd come in. I attempted to save some space for Genie, Gilaine, and Debbie and friends out there queueing by trying to spread my legs out lol but everyone just rushed in and urgh... it was annoying.
Debbie was fast enough to rush in, tho! She stood next to me, front row!
Gilaine was behind me, I don't have a picture with her! :(
Later Genie came in and squeeezed to the front with me too. Valerie and Zoe were too late, I had no idea where they were standing! Fuck yeah VIP front row!!!! Cameraman.
Waited for an hour and a half I think, before they displayed... THIS!!! On the screen! They played the For Your Entertainment Brad Walsh remix!!!!!! Everyone started screaming and cheering! I love Brad Walsh. Another backdrop!
After 10 minutes, Adam and co finally came onstage!!!!!!!
Adam finally appeared!!!!! He was in his purple cloak as usual, and I love his top hat. Feathers!!!!
Actually, I kind of know the whole concert set by heart cause I watched videos of it online many times so I already know what costumes, what songs he was gonna do, in what order, and what was going to happen, so yup! No surprise for me! Lol.
Kicked off his concert with 'Voodoo'! Cleopatraaaa knowssss
Brooke!!!! What a beautyyyyy. Taylor and his scary faces again! Lol, love him! I love Adam's barefoot. Tommy!!! Everyone loves Tommy. He's Adam's little Kitty. I saw Adam bringing him to the front of the stage and felt that Tommy belongs to Adam and would do anything Adam asked him to do. Yeah, not all the photos here are mine, some are from friends, some I came across randomly on Twitter and decided to post! So yeah, not taking any credit, watermarks still there :)
I just chose the best photos to post up here! Pet the kitty cat! Taylor's face again! Terrance the hottie! Then he sang 'Down The Rabbit Hole'! It was actually one whole Medley of Voodoo, Down The Rabbit Hole, and Ring Of Fire. "Come on, follow, come on and follow me, go down the rabbit hole!" I love this picture. Fierce. Credits to whoever's name is on it. Then he sang Ring of Fire! Many people didn't recognise this song as it is not in his album, not his song. He actually sang Ring of Fire on American Idol, for "Country" week and received the lowest comments cause he made it into a different sound, I mean, ADAM+ COUNTRY MUSIC = WHAT!?
So yeah. It was a weird performance, but I loved it!!!!!!!
Gilaine took these few photos!
Then, he continued with one of the most anticipated song ever, FEVER!!!
You will never know the number of times I watched his Fever concert vids in the U.S.
Siiiiiiick. Just sick!
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PICTURES. Tommy leaning on him. Presh. Usually at every performance of Fever he would kiss Tommy but I figured out he wouldn't as it was in Singapore but boy did he shock us all. :) "There he goes my baby walks so slow, sexual tic tac toe, yeah I know we both know it isn't time, noooo, but-" *KISSES SO SLOW AND TENDERLY ON THE LIPS*
Monte's expression!!!!!
Everyone was screeaaaaaaming. I was shocked my vision was blurred for a bit! I see you Sasha! Love this picture! This is obviously not my picture, lol.
Then after shrieking the last note of Fever, he went backstage! Costume change! Not really a change, he just put on his long cloak, during the dancers interlude!
There you go, Adam emerging from stairs in long theatrical cloak.
When I heard the first note of Sleepwalkerplayed, I was soooo freaking out. I love Sleepwalker so much! It's one of my favourite songs on the album, and I just love it so much I have been waiting all my life to watch him perform it live.
My brother loooooves this song to the core.
And actually, Sleepwalker is also one of my favourite performance in the Tour set because of its theatricality. I love Theatricality. Tommy hair tossing during Sleepwalker!!!! Love.
Next, he sang Whataya Want From Me, and I have to say that the Glamnation acoustic version of this song is sooooo good! I actually prefer it to his orginal version. It actually shows the vulnerability of his voice more than the music.
When he sang, "Baby you're beautiful there's nothing wrong with you. It's me I'm a freak but thanks for loving me, cause you're doing it perfectly" he smiled at the audience and everyone screamed.
Then next, he performedSoaked.
I tell you, Soaked is the song I have been most excited for! (Whole Lotta Love aside)
I watch his Soaked concert vids on youtube and I was so blown away I just told myself I had to catch him live.
When Cam played the intro of Soaked on the keys the crowd was silent cause I think no one recognised the song as it was a different starting from the actual version.
So I was the only freak screaming my ass off because Soaked, was almost my favourite.
Don't watch if you are a crier. Especially if you watch him sing upclose and see his face expression up close you will feel the emotional connection.
Amazing. I have no words to describe his performance of Soaked. It was so vulnerable and so emotional and he delivered the emotions so well I could feel him connecting with the audience.
TOMMY HAIR TOSS AGAIN. Oh the things his hair does to all of us.
There was this 10 second pause before he sang the final part of the song and everyone started cheering
I wanted to cry when he sang the last part of the song without music "Soaked to the bone, sink like a stone, I will take you home, it's not the first time, it's not the worst crime, your soul will be ok" His voice was incredible. I just felt so moved. The reaction and cheers from the crowd was great,
This guy can sing anything without music. Perfect voice.
Next up!!! He sang Aftermath! I looove this song so much! Because the melody is beautiful and the lyrics were personally written by him so everytime I listen to this song I feel a sense of connection to it. The lyrics are BEAUTIFUL.
Monte on the guitar, y'all!!! Love him "Before you break you have to shed your armour, take a trip and fall into the glitter, tell a stranger that they're beautiful, so all you feel is love." BEST LYRIC.
Then he went backstage again for a costume change during the band interlude!
I was so excited for the next song, Sure Fire Winners!!!!!! Super sexy song. Love it. So many sex metaphors.
"I was born with glitter on my face, my baby clothes made of leather and lace" UNF FLICK THE SWITCH AND THE MISSILE WILL FIRE. Tommy's eyes! Hotz Love these shots!
Next, he sang, Strut! I was hoping he would drop his cane like in one of the other concerts. Lol.
Btw all this videos DO NOT DO JUSTICE to what I experienced live!
BROOKE SASHA Love this! Lol! Then he sang Music Again! Then If I Had You + Band and Dancer Introduction!
"This next song, ladies and gentlemen, is really what this whole show is about. It is that no matter how much fame, money or even sex, you have in your life, it really doesn't matter, unless you're connected with love"
I watched the concert vids so many times I can even memorise the stuff he says onstage.
"On the bass, Mr Tommy Joe Ratliff!" Glitterbaby. "All we need in this world is some love." I swear he looked at me when sang "If I Had You that would be the only thing I'd ever need" MONTE FUCKING PITTMAN!
"Last but certainly not least, Ladies and Gentlemen, on the guitar, my musical director, Mr Monte Pittman!" He is one helluva rockstar! FYI, he is Madonna's guitarist as well as guitar teacher! GENIUS.
Who doesn't love Monte? This sign is so sweet! Taylor!! "The flashing of the liiiiights!" "But I got you stuck onnnn myy miiiiiinddd" "If I had you!" This was when he sang the lost "If I Had You" I love this picture of them all with the peace sign. Except Tommy. Lol.
He came out after that for an encore of Mad World! I am kind of sick of Mad World but acoustic Mad World is love!
He makes the gloomy song sound so optimistic! "And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had." Debbie and I were crossing fingers and hoping he would do Whole Lotta Love after that.
Usually for his shows, he would finish with If I Had You, and perform two encore songs, Mad World and either Whole Lotta Love or Twentieth Century Boy.
I was just praying he would do Whole Lotta Love.
Whole Lotta Love is actually one of the greatest rock songs in history by Led Zeppelin which Adam performed on Americal Idol, to which Simon deemed his 'favourite performance' and 'no one could top that now'
BUT, the first time I watched him perform an acoustic version of Whole Lotta Love onstage on youtube, I was immediately mesmerized. He was literally eye fucking the audience and oozing sexxxxxxx. From then on, ACOUSTIC Whole Lotta Love was my favourite performance ever, and no one could top it.
When I found out he was doing Acoustic Whole Lotta Love for his tour I WAS ELATED.
Until... he stopped doing it and replaced it with another song.
It was the song I actually was excited for the most, but I guess now I'm never gonna watch him perform it live forever.
He did not perform Whole Lotta Love, no. He just ended with Mad World. Not even Twentieth Century Boy, sigh! Oh well! What can I say, I wasn't expecting it. I was just hoping for some miracle to happen.
Anywayyyy, great show, my boy!!! Great job. Really amazing!
Watching the tour vids were great, but experiencing it live right in front of my eyes was surreal! If I was older, richer, I would be like those US Stans and go for 10 shows. But after all I'm probably the youngest stan ever. Sigh. :-(
I know I sound like a concert reviewer, but... Immaculate vocals, check. Elaborate costumes, check. Amazing make up, check. Highest pomp ever, check.
Great (sexual) energy and incredible showmanship and persona onstage, check.
Theatricality, check.
I heard he attracted a crowd of 30,000, while Missy Elliot attracted 20,000 and Mariah Carey attracted 35,000!
I'm so proud of you Adam my boy :)
Ok I'm talking too much.
On Monday was the airport send-off!!!!
The local fanclub did not organise any send-off for Adam and the troupe, so I went with Debbie, and another girl I met at the concert! Yep, only the three of us. I had to skipped the last lesson of school to rush to the airport. I was so afraid I was gonna be late but when I reached there, but the three of us ended up waiting for an hour.
There were guards around and we saw Lane and at first we were so afraid Adam would be taking the VIP exits. There were three other fangirls waiting for him. It was only 6 of us!
Then finally the guards started to walk to another exit and we all followed/ran after and there was this van outside and I immediately freaked out. I couldn't breathe!!!
Then, Cam walked in, followed by Brooke, Isaac, Sutan, Sasha, Terrance, Tommy, Taylor.
Monte wasn't there as he took an earlier flight to LA to be with his family.
I was freaking out but then I walked towards Sasha first!
I said Hi to her and told her she was amazing the other night and I loved her and she asked if I enjoyed the show I said yes and told her I was screaming her name! Then I asked for a hug and she hugged me!!!!!!!!!
And I got a picture with her and she signed my VIP tour laminate!!! She's my favourite dancer.
Yea I look gross
Then I looked around and I saw Sutan!!!!! Adam's make up artist. He used to be a make up artist for ANTM. He looked abso-fucking-lutely hotttt and I waved at him and said, "Hi Sutan!!!" in this crazy way and he said, "Oh hi!!! How're you?"
I was so shy I didn't know what to say he was so hot lol then I talked to Brooke, Cam and Terrance! MY VIP tour laminate!! Anti-clockwise from left: Sasha, Cam, Terrance, and Brooke!
Then I saw Tommy!!!!!!! The kitty was wrapped in his hoodie he looked like a little bear :)
I said hiiiiii and said I loved him and he signed my lambliff photo!! The one I asked Adam to sign at the Meet and Greet!!
Three of us were so engrossed with meeting the band and dancers that we didn't even notice Adam, who came in last, walking past us!!
Then they had to go and Tommy said, "Sorry I have to go now, bye guys!" and he went a separate way from the rest of the troupe to be with his family!
We walked behind the whole troupe who were headed for the VIP exit to catch their flight and then I saw Neil walking right in front of me!!! He was talking happily to Taylor!
And I walked up and asked him to sign my VIP too.
I said, "Hi Neil, will you sign my VIP please?"
and he said, "Yeah sure" and he signed it and he accidentally dropped his passports and stuff and said, "This is why I don't do such stuff" Lol! I love him he's so cute.
I said, "Sorry Neil!" and he said, "It's okay!" and I helped him pick up his things.
His autograph was smudged :(
And he signed the front of my VIP, it's kinda ironic of him signing on my VIP! Signing on Adam's name lol. I love the Lambert Brothers!
Adam was right in front walking ahead and we didn't manage to talk to him! I wanted to hug him goodbye :(
Before they exited, we said bye to all of them and they turned around to wave goodbye and Sutan was like, "Bye guys!!" very loudly omg he's so cute!!
Then Adam turned to look at 3 of us and waved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So adorable I love him so much I miss him!
And that was it! They went on vacation.
I didn't manage to take photos with all of them and now as I think back, I should have! I regretted it. It was all so fast! Sigh. I really wanted a pic with Sutan! I miss them all so much!
The only person I didn't manage to meet was Monte. :( I really want to hug him. The next time an opportunity like this arises, I'm so going to see all of them again!!!!
