Saw this on Twitter. One person's perspective. Since we haven't seen or heard exactly what and how Adam talked about this....who knows. According to the post from Twitter brought over here earlier by one of the"offenders" she, like the lady where he dropped her phone on the stage, said it was all in fun, etc. Perhaps he shouldn't say "Im just messing with her about her phone" or " you know I didn't mean it" like tonite if he really does mean it and wants it to stop. But how he handles it is up to him. I may try and get close to the front to see him better, but I'm not gonna have my phone out. Taking pics/vids, etc. is one addiction I don't have...thank goodness. Having said all that....he himself has posted many pics taken by fans in his audiences and I'm sure he's watched back many videos of his performances so he selectively appreciates them as well it seems. IMO he's most bothered by those right up front that he can see not dancing, not singing, but distracted when he's trying to look into their eyes and faces. www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sojb3q

I was there, I was close to it, and he turned and laughed. He has so often retweeted fan videos and taken stage videos for people and so on...and told security that fans taking videos are OK. There only time I have seen Adam really not be happy with an audience is when the front rows are casino VIPs who just sit. And even then he does it with a bit of humor.

Adam most likely was upset about the situation. But hes not going to mean about it. So him smiling.while addressing it. Is his way of getting his point across.

Adam's latest comments confirm for me even more my impression all along that Adam was irritated when he snatched the phone.

mixlr.com/beata_wil/ - working now! re Harriet Tubman - I guess the Southern education is very different from up here in NY - my kids and me know EVERYTHING there is to know about Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks... Obviously so. I do know who Rosa Parks is. Maybe the kids today know about them both. Thinking she might have been a better candidate if they were looking for a black female. JMHO. But maybe Harriet represents whatever they are trying to represent better. Every 5th grade student who sat in my classroom throughout my teaching years, knew exactly who Harriet Tubman was----and her role in our nation's history.We did historical re enactments which helped the children understand her many courageous acts . Most incredible of all, is how many times she returned to the south to help bring fellow slaves to freedom, even after she herself already made the treacherous journey to safety. I hope that if her picture adorns the 20 dollar bill, that all my former students will remember her story-and feel as proud as I do that she is elevated to a place of honor on our currency. Another example of a true "profile in courage."

I am another one who doesn't want an M&G. II crave experiencing his magical voice and charisma on stage. I road tripped to 2 shows this year with my daughter. Awesome memories, that we commemorated with matching tattoos on our way home (Adams A symbol in henna color) We were first row balcony for one. Great sound and view of the whole light show, And, our second show was very up close in VIP. I enjoyed the GA experience, long wait and all. Met some really fun, fans, and some that were more interested in comparing their fan status... One had 10+ M & G's. Whatever works for you I guess, but I don't get it paying hundreds of $$$ to meet someone for a minute.

astralla... thank you SO MUCH for the great London recap!! I loved it, but was so sorry you got the chipmunk crap going on! Such a damned shame when you wait for months (or years) to hear the world's best voice in concert, and then that happens! And then your merch got damaged too!! I have never experienced the chipmunk thing - may be it has to do with your level of hearing ability, not sure...I have always had bad hearing - but in terms of damaged merchandise, which I am very sorry for, I had it much(!) worse. It happened at LA#2. I decided to finally get in the merchandise queue and knock myself out after I had received my VIP gift bag (no M&G). After my purchases I put all my goodies in the VIP bag and took my aisle seat inside the theater. Conveniently, I hung the VIP bag over the arm rest (naive!). There was a young lady from Brazil next to me who saw Adam for the first time, and as she was shorter than me and the large lady in front of her blocked her view, I gave her my aisle seat. We had a blast and we stood and danced the whole time. After the concert I looked for my bag, which was one seat over, and it was gone. It was not to be found in the surroundings or under the seats. Ugghh...Not too many people had left their seats during the show as security wouldn't allow them to move forward, but somebody from behind must have grabbed it while I was standing and being very distracted. There was a lot of stuff in that bag - all the VIP goodies plus my merchandise - so I was very upset. It blew over though...I still consider LA#2 the best concert in a very long time. I didn't have a perfect view that night, but it made me happy that the young lady from Brazil had such a great experience. I lost some nice little goodies, but the concert memories will stay forever. Adam feeling so much love in his home town was just beyond. Plus, luckily I still had my purse with my wallet that I happened to hold onto. It could have been worse lol.

Awww, sizzling! I gave Enerlie her ticket! She came from Brazil alone & contacted me via twitter! We met just before the show. Her original seat was last row balcony! But pflynne was very ill that day & could not use her ticket. She asked me to give it to someone who would appreciate it. Enerlie was the first person I thougt of. She was so appreciative! She is so sweet! We will be hanging out next weekend also. I had no idea you were next to her or we could have met! ❤️
