AnnAdoresAdam. Thank you.....lovely read! And so glad you enjoyed the seat. Have to say, I always note the interaction with the on-stagers, particularly at the end - and usually there is almost none! I don't understand that. And Adam is the least effusive of the three. I wonder if there is some policy on this that we don't understand.

I wonder if there is some policy on this that we don't understand. Thank you! Yes, what is clear is that the lack of interaction is deliberate, as you say, particularly at the end when losing concentration couldn't be cited as an issue, what isn't clear is what has changed. No policy at all occurs to me that would prohibit Adam from greeting the on-stagers as he passes them on his way off the stage which only leaves it being down to his own decision. Particularly when all the other band members do. Which is why the only conclusion that I can think of is that something happened at some point to upset him/put him off. But I guess we'll never know the real reason. I'm just grateful that we got our peace sign and some acknowledgement of our loud appreciation of him!

I'm not going to clog up the new thread saying "OMG, here's a pic with me and Adam" but seeing as it's probably the closest I'll ever get to a photo with him, here goes!

Late to the discussion, but I will put in my 2 cents about Adam not interacting with on-stagers. My impression is that Adam is immersed "in character", as if in a play while on stage. The image, the movement, the voice are all carefully crafted and planned from song to song, minute to minute. Yes, he is still "Adam", but , not. He is heavy rock leather Adam, or pink flamingo outrageous Adam, or fun-loving pop Adam, or opera Adam, or rock god Adam. To interact with the on-stagers would require stepping out of character and becoming a private person rather than an actor/singer in a theater piece. It would require changing his focus from performance mode to personal interaction mode, and then, back again to continue the show. Like actors who stay in character even when the camera isn't rolling, because it is difficult to turn it off and on.
That makes sense to me and seems to fit with what I see him doing on stage throughout the show. Sorry for the on-stagers who hoped to get a moment of interpersonal time with Adam Lambert, but I completely understand that the person on the stage is in performance mode, fully focused on the task at hand.

Cassie - I would agree to a large extent that he is immersed in his role while mid concert - but even then, he clearly looks and takes in the people round the barrier, often smiling or pointing. I have never been in an onstage seat and have no desire to be - but I have watched seven shows live this year and he usually walks straight past these people at the end...going off stage, not even rushing. Not even a glance it seems. And he used to interact with the stage-sitters on the last tour. I don't care much what he does but I do think it is something different this time.

Spot on, SophieB. Can't add anything to what you've so rightly said. Cassie, the conversation isn't about Adam being in character, it's more about once he's finished his performance and his demeanour on this tour compared to the last one. It's no big deal, and particularly for me since I DID get interaction, one just wonders what's different this time round and what's happened to change him.

Sorry for the on-stagers who hoped to get a moment of interpersonal time with Adam Lambert, but I completely understand that the person on the stage is in performance mode, fully focused on the task at hand. I totally agree with this. As a matter of fact, he once mentioned that while on Idol, it was very hard to come out of the place he was in during the song, to stepping on the mark and listening to the judges. I too think he is totally immersed in his "character." Also, I don't think we can compare this tour's VIP Onstage with the previous tours. Because in the previous tours, the VIP was much more "On Stage." Same level as Adam. As far as after the finale, I think he may just be exhausted. (Maybe he smells?) LOL! I kid!! Ann, I was gone most of yesterday and just got to enjoy your recap. TY! You certainly had a BD to remember! ETA: Long time Glamberts also know Adam is stubborn. Often does not do what is expected of him.
