Somehow it sounds here as if the people in Madrid were more enthusiastic than people in the UK, Germany or Amsterdam. I hope you all know, that it’s just a cultural thing. Spanish people are in general just louder. Same as Scottish audiences are louder than London audiences. The loudest are in South America. But Spanish ones are similar. So true. Besides a cultural thing, it's also a personal thing. I would never scream at a concert. I enjoy music by sitting quietly and absorbing. That's why concerts aren't my thing. I do understand, however, that the louder an audience, the more feedback for the performer, so I'm pretty sure I'm not the audience they're looking for lol. I've never been a screamer so imagine my surprise when I attended the AI tour and found myself screaming for Adam. There were times is felt like he literally pulled our voices along with him. |

He mentioned hand signals in an interview once so I guess that’s why I started noticing it. He’ll look over to the left side of the stage and point his finger up or point the microphone up. I assume it’s to his engineer to adjust what he is hearing. There’s also a microphone in front of Roger that he talks into sometimes when Brian is playing, I assume that’s to his engineer.

The spirit we’ve always loved is definitely back! Yup, looks and moves like the old Adam! I really think he is much lighter on his feet when he isn't wearing those blocky shoes that he so loves!! Look at him dancing in the tweet from Gelly that helena posted on page 3. |

Look at him dancing in the tweet from Gelly that helena posted on page 3. Two hours of workout several times a week for over a month have likely affected Adam in a good way. He had 27 concerts so far. I saw a post by a rock musician on a Quora discussion about "why rock musicians are usually skinny", and he said he could lose up to 3 pounds on a show. Even if we go with just half a pound per show, and assuming that the weight loss is linear (it likely isn't), that would be 13.5 pounds. So maybe Adam is just getting in shape naturally as he keeps on performing night after night... |

It is gratifying, to say the least, to see Adam bust out some older and new moves, but it seems like something more has happened to me. Some people might remember noting that something had changed with Adam when he first came down those stairs in Israel. If I remember, people were commenting mostly on how rich and robust his voice seemed, but the confidence level had increased too. This tour is all that on steroids. The majority of the time, I stay away from anything to do with Adam/Freddie. However, I always thought that one great thing about Freddie as a front man was an intensity and ferocity that really gave the audience no choice but to wildly participate. Of course, he performed as appropriate to the song. Adam has displayed that voice and intensity, which when coupled with his light-hearted goofiness and those moves (please,please keep the moves) make him more of a total package.
Adam has definitely slimmed down and looks good; the tour has really helped . If someone has mentioned this, please forgive. When people first marry or move in together, they typically gain weight. I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a factor with Adam’s weight gain. Adam is 40 and Oliver is somewhere in his 20s (metabolism challenge); Adam is large-boned, and Oliver is small-boned, delicate; Oliver doesn’t seem to care if Adam is larger, and really, I guess there is not an upside for Oliver to do so.
Now, please come to The U.S., QAL! Think of how relaxing a Vegas Residency would be. Dr. Bri, I know you weren’t that fond of Vegas for your free time, but those in surrounding areas can guide you to spectacular, intriguing sites to see, the furthest of which is a short plane ride away.

Adam has definitely lost a ton of weight. The hope is that he will find a way to keep it off. The older we get, the harder it is. He knows that full well.
I remember a long-ago article about Mick Jagger, who has always been skinny as a rail. He said he lost at least two or three pounds per show, and that a lot for guy who doesn't have weight problem.
Adam looks fantastic, back to his super-sexy ways!
