I was at the Sacramento concert last night. A quick word about the "diva" thing- I think it's completely overblown. We all waited around an hour for the Idols to come out. A few of them (Matt, Anoop, Michael- who was incredibly nice, BTW surprisingly) came around and signed autographs. Adam came out with someone (a handler?) He waved and smiled and overall seemed pretty nice to me. But he did go to the buses right away. Incidentally, he is very tall and VERY thin, and even more gorgeous close up.

I heard Anoop say they weren't allowed to take pictures with anyone. Given that Adam was with a handler and no one else was, I'm guessing he wasn't even allowed to sign autographs. They came out at 11:20 or so and I heard the security guard say the buses were supposed to leave around 11:30, so Adam pandemonium would probably not help that. Incidentally, I didn't see Kris at all, but he might have come out after I left (seeing Adam so close was too much for me and I had to go reconnect with my sanity :)

I never watched the show. I thought it was kind of lame. I went to the concert because my son and daughter do watch the show and they are too young to go on their own. They both dressed in Blue and Silver and I had no idea why. It was a fairly sedate show and some of the singers were a little laughable ie the third one to the end.Then the lights went out and my kids started yelling and screaming. I asked them why since the stage was empty. Then I found out why. The one they were yelling and screaming for was Adam Lambert (the only one I know the name of-now). I have to say even this jaded old mom had a reaction to him. I actually found myself cheering and screaming right along with my kids and it was real. This guy evokes that kind of response. I just about had to restrain myself from rushing the stage. My poor kids would have a mommy in jail. If you are on the fence about going go just to see Adam Lambert he is worth it. After Adam performed we left since the kids were tired.

Can't possibly give a coherent recap right now, but a few things:
Hearing Adam live is a completely different experience than watching him on television. There are certain qualities to his voice that just don't translate in recording. I mean, yes, he's magnificent on a recording but, honestly, I don't believe anything approaches what he sounds like in a live show.
If, like me, you were hoping that hearing Adam live would serve as the culmination of your Adam obsession so that you could move on to other things in your life, you should be warned that this probably will not happen.
Oakland LOVED Adam. Loudest cheers by a lot.
He was phenomenally gorgeous, sexy, and lithe. And perfect, note for note. I've already heard the recordings on utube and, trust me, it doesn't translate. It's pretty hilarious that the cellcaster thought he was lipsynching. He wasn't (he even messed up the lyrics to Mad World like he almost always does), but he really did sound that much better than everyone else. Again, there's this mysterious "something" that just makes him stand out so much. It's hard to break it down into what percetage of it is vocal quality and what percentage of it is stage presence, but there is some remarkable quality that just makes him *different* in the live show.
He made a remark in an interview about how the judges' praise might sound less over the top if the TV audience had the same experience as the live audience. Having seen him live in this context, I completely believe him. It was really impossible not to be swept away by him. I think this also explains why even some critics who don't really like him may be forced to take their hat off to him in their reviews of the live show. This whole tour is a set-up in which one of these things is glaringly not like the others.
Final thought for the moment: Watching an Adam Lambert performance is a religious experience in the way that a Bacchic orgy is a religious experience (except men are invited too).
