11.28.21 MOOOOOOD! Compilation of RD,MH

Glad to see that video of Adam in those loose pants. Actually they look less baggy than they did in the first photo. I like them! Hoping that sometime in the near future we'll once again see him in some more stream-lined outfits. Either way, I adore the guy.

Thanks for everyone who had data on those early Idol alum tours. It seems to me that Adam was pretty much the only Idol alum to do his DEBUT solo tour both in the US and internationally. It's quite a feat. That first tour was SO very long and intense, with so many dates stacked up close together. They must have been exhausted. Those overseas debut dates were a real coup for him, IMO. As some of you said, a few Idols did some early dates overseas, but not like Adam did, on a larger scale and on his debut solo tour. He really broke the mold. He worked to establish that international fan base and it has paid off.

Adam had a number of impressive experiences on that first tour that don't normally go to a newbie from Idol. Besides playing to 20k at Formula 1 in Singapore, they held a press conference with him. Someone asked him who his favorite driver was and Adam said he didn't know any. They laughed and love it, lol. Then he performed after that major league baseball game in Florida and I believe they said almost 30k stuck around to see his concert. And there was that matter in Malaysia where the religious fanatics wanted his show cancelled because of his sexuality. But Adam handled himself like a pro and satisfied the government that he would perform and follow their rules. The show went off without incident and he performed for 17K happy fans.

Even with other places and medium to smaller venues, he did not just do concerts. He had tv interviews and performances on tv shows in Germany, Japan, UK, Finland and Australia to name a few. So all that promotion on top of the concerts probably added to the exhaustion. So he deserved every penny that he earned for that successful first world tour.
