Yeah, there wasn't much dancing and bopping going on in the front. I was dancing my butt off, and waving hands like crazy. But almost everyone else around me just wanted to stand still and watch, even when they wasn't recording anything. I don't know why people are willing to stand in line for over 5-8+ hours, for a general admission concert, just to get in the front and stand and watch. I felt so awkward, and trying to ignore. It's only 5 songs, should try to engage and enjoy it, and not be irritated at the people dancing around you.. Marie, if I had stayed in front, I wouldn't have been dancing either. I literally couldn't move when I was there. That area couldn't move! I'm puzzled by the inference that those who like to stand and watch are somehow lesser fans than those who dance around ... is there some reason this can't just be a matter of personal preference without being criticized? Doesn't Adamtopia have rules against defining the proper way for an Adam fan to behave? |

I felt like the crowd was really great. |

When did I say that those that was just standing and watching were lesser fans? But I'm not going to get into this, everything is fine... |

Late also, and only talking about myself, but I feel like a participant rather than an observer at a concert when I dance. I'm glad lynne said that there was a lot of energy in her section. When Adam talks about the energy exchange, I assumed that that was something he could see as well as feel. I think about the crowd dancing at NNN. I think about my radio promo concert where all the front and middle section were stock still (no chair dancing, shoulder bumps, etc.) and how different each felt to me. I think also about how when I've done public speaking, having the audience laugh and quip back, and smile and nod, or 'oooh' and 'awww' feels wonderful like we're having an experience together. And when they are completely silent I get worried and feel alone up there. |
