Hi everyone! I'm here looking for a little education -- I'm so untechy and I've never streamed anything before but I am signed up for Adam's concert on the 29!! So, here I am, looking for a little how-to advise and y'all are so bright and "with it", I know you can help. I've purchased my virtual ticket and I've saved it, but what now?? Like everyone, I'm so looking forward to hearing the concert & seeing the sure-to-impress fashions worn by that beautiful man with that amazing voice! I don't want to be learning at the last minute. I love reading all the chatter about politics, music, make up, etc. You're all so intelligent (and much younger, ha!) and I relish reading all thoughts, pro and con. Thanks in advance for any advise directed my way. 😊😊 I don't know if anybody has answered you yet or not, but I just did my soundcheck earlier today to make sure everything worked. Once you get the confirmation email from them, which should include the password, make sure you save that. You can "copy" the password, go to their website, under the time of your concert, whether 12 or 7, hit the Watch button. They'll ask for your password, paste it into the space, and it'll open to a screen. Hit the play arrow and you should see a video (no background) start with music. If you see that and hear the music, you're ok. You're soundcheck is complete. I'm assuming you repeat that same procedure the day of the concert, and at that point you'll actually be able to watch the concert rather than just getting a soundcheck.

I did my soundcheck earlier today also. I am another one who is tech challenged, so I too appreciated the instructions (love Atoppers!), as I would also have been a little reluctant to hit the "Watch" button. Mine worked just fine. By the way, you don't have to copy your code if you don't want to, but can just type it in the space provided. Now hopefully everything will go smoothly for the concerts on Friday. I plan on hooking my laptop up to my big screen TV - that I've learned how to do! And so excited for "live" music again from Adam in a real venue! I wanted to also say that I found the discussion about make-up, ageism, etc very interesting. I'm another one who doesn't really like Adam in heavy make-up, the heavier beard, the shaved sides. But I love this man inside and out, (and then there is THE VOICE), so I'll accept how he wants to present himself at any given time. And yes, just wait, and he will change his "look" yet once again. Adam has always marched to his own drummer, and I really admire him for that. Just think how many times he changed his "look" on Idol! And all together it presented an exceptional, complete entertainer, one destined for a fabulous career. These are exceptionally difficult times for everyone in so many ways, and it has to be so very difficult for someone in the limelight. He's not able to perform with audiences, both solo and with Queen, which he so loves to do - it is his passion. We all have had to find ways to cope with this awful pandemic, isolation, possible depression and hardships. Adam, I think, is doing his best to find his way in any way he can. If doing make-up tutorials is one outlet, then so be it. I'll just scroll! And to touch on the subject of women in a male-oriented career world (I really appreciated your thoughts on that, Dancy), I was not encouraged to pursue a career in veterinary medicine by some of my teachers (I'm really showing my age here, as now nearly 90% of graduating veterinary classes are women). Graduated nearly 50 years ago (gulp!). Fortunately, like Adam, I had parents who were behind me 100% to pursue the career path I had chosen. I was very lucky to live in a state with a veterinary school which was a little more accepting of women in the profession (but not by much), but am proud to say that we were the first class to pass the 20% mark of women being admitted to veterinary school, and they admitted the first black woman to be in our veterinary class. In my interview, they had the audacity to say that I would just get married and not use my degree. I replied that there was no way I would not, after working so hard to achieve that goal. I know what it is like to pursue your life's passion, and am so very thankful that I had the opportunity to make it a reality. I think Adam is doing a fine job at pursuing his passion, and I love and respect him for it!!!! So what if I don't like some of his looks as well as others! I'll get off my soapbox now. And brdgt, don't leave us - I so welcome differing opinions on this site. It gives me new perspectives! And deb5anne, so glad your MRI was normal!

I've always enjoyed Kyle and Jackie O. They're hilarious and Adam has been entertaining charming and witty every time he's been on. Will watch this for sure!
