AC’s San Jose American Idol Tour Re-Cap

thanks for the recap and for these amazing pics. fave line – “we’re not old, we’re both 26.” lol! i’m gokey’s age and sometimes i just feel old. heh.

Thanks AC! Great review and pics!! Super seats too~

AC – thanks for sharing again. Is the Anoop photo from AOMM? Noticed no glasses and was hoping he stopped wearing them for Mad.

hey AC! thanks for a great recap again and i really enjoyed reading this, though its too brief for me, especially the kris parts…and would have liked a longer version…..ok i suddenly remember kris just lost his grandmother and here i am being selfish and pining for a lengthy recap :down_tb:

and isn’t Michael the sweetest guy? to ask a fan three times on how to improve himself….i found it totally adorable. an oil rig guy who becomes a top 10 in American Idol is no ordinary feat and still he has the humility to match. very adorable.

Great recap. It’s funny how once you decide you like a singer as a person you are more inclined to like (or at least not hate on) their music. I’m glad to see that the crowd was more energetic in San Jose than they were in Oakland. I was at the Sacramento concert and I agree with you about the top six. I’m still trying to plan another concert into my summer. I loved it.

What is the Ticketmaster auction? I haven’t heard of it.

Also, that pic of Adam taking off his jacket is BURNING HOT! Thank you!

interesting mystery story here…where did Matt’s mole disappear to? LOL

also, find it very interesting that anoop got a got of cheers from the male fans. is it because he’s a nerd? or is it the fact he’s too cool even when he’s acting like a nerd? or because he’s Indian? hmmmmmmm

Michael Sarver was the first guy out at around 2:15 and he went around the whole half circle to sign autographs, talk to fans, and take pictures.

So Michael is also working on a CD according to his twitter?:

In the studio recording what I believe will be my first single next year. Good times.4:37 PM May 26th from txt

interesting mystery story here’ ¦where did Matt’s mole disappear to? LOL

I think Matt may have had the mole removed sometime between getting the boot and coming back for the finale. It was definitely quite a while before the tour started.

Most doctors would recommend the removal of a mole that size, plus Matt probably wanted to just be rid of it so as not to give the internet snarkers anymore ammunition.

Oh, and thanks for a great recap AC. It was a fun read!

also, find it very interesting that anoop got a got of cheers from the male fans. is it because he’s a nerd? or is it the fact he’s too cool even when he’s acting like a nerd? or because he’s Indian? hmmmmmmm

I think it’s all of the above. He’s just a regular guy with an incredibly smooth voice and a very cool demeanor. He’s got the whole “geek-sexy” thing down.

Thank you for the recap! I’m also curious, what is the “ticketmaster auction”?

Thanks for the recap/review. It sounds like you had a great time and great seats.
Great pictures too!

Great recap – this line really made me smile

When Adam does Mad World, it seems less like a ‘performance’  and more like the song is talking about his real emotions

I get that feeling everytime I watch one of the youtube clips so I can’t imagine how strong it must feel live.

Wow, TWO recaps AC — very ambitious! Thank you!

. . .[Michael] asked if there’s anything he can improve on. I said no even though I wanted to tell him that Closer was not a good song for him but then he continued and said that he’s open to any ideas (omg, here’s my chance to tell him to drop the Neyo song!) but I still meekly said no.

Well, I guess he knows now! :bye_tb: Hi Michael!

Thanks for the recaps! Sounds like you had great seats and a great time. I saw the pictures of Kris with those tiaras and putting the one that had his picture on it, and posing with the others who had Kradison pictures on it. He’s such a good sport.

Oh and excellent pictures as well. Thanks for that too.

Cute review, thanks! The part about pretending Kris’ signature on your program is real is adorable

And, I just have to say, that Michael is something else. I wasn’t a huge fan on the show, although I did vote for him in the first round and maybe again a few times later on. Having seen him perform in Tacoma, the guy simply exudes happiness and joy for life. I really hope he’s able to make a career of this for himself. What a great guy. I’ll buy his album (if any PTB are listening).

Love the pic with Kris putting on the Kradam tiara — great recap. While Adam is definitely my fav, I am really looking forward to seeing/hearing all of them when they get to Dallas. I think even more so now that I have been reading all of the recaps. Thanks for posting.

This might be off topic – but, how many sets of the same outfits do these guys have? Who washes their clothes? Hehe, I’m thinking especially of Danny’s shirt, becuase he had it soaking wet in Tacoma. I guess moms think of these types of questions.

Thanks for the great review. Two more weeks before I get to see the show live … :clap_tb:

As far as the earplugs, I AM old, and have already ordered a pair so I can really enjoy the concert without the ear-piercing screams from other fantards (like me!).

Great recap, AC. It’s interesting to hear from somebody who went to two concerts. Thanks for taking the time. Lots of warm, wonderful humour, too!

just got the chance to look at the photos. i love the last one:

When Kris sings, Adam starts nodding as if to say ‘yeah!’ 

Nice review! Glad you got to meet some of them.

I have 7th row seats for my show. They were really good seats? That’s great… anything else to tell about those seats? I’m excited!

Here is information on Ticketmaster auctions:

http://www.ticketmaster.com/ticketauctions

It looks like they hold back the best seats to sell at a premium. That’s one way to keep the profit in their pocket instead of a middleman’s. I just checked on front row seats for the LA concert. They are going for $685.00 each and there’s still two days left in the auction. WOW!

This might be off topic – but, how many sets of the same outfits do these guys have? Who washes their clothes? Hehe, I’m thinking especially of Danny’s shirt, becuase he had it soaking wet in Tacoma. I guess moms think of these types of questions.

I was thinking about that too! Do they travel with a dry cleaner?? Do they have a pair of everything? I think Adam’s jacket is a one of a kind item… I wonder what state it’ll be in after 50 shows LOL!

thanks for the review. I wish I can go see one of these shows
Muse, The Killers, David Bowier, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin… lots of good music!

I’m gonna guess that, like theater companies and sports teams on the road, they have a wardrobe person whose job it is to make sure all of the performance clothes are gathered up every night, laundered every day, and distributed every night. They’ve got the system down. One-of-a-kind pieces don’t get laundered, of course, but the wardrobe people know what to do.

You really got some amazing pictures AC. With each review, I am anticipating the Philadelphia concert. I can’t wait!!

Great Recap! love the description of the older woman with her hands on her heart during Kris’s set, adorable….I also love your description of the Kradam moments, swoooonnnn…
Fantastic photos….Thank you so much!

Yes I remember some girl won a competition to go on tour with Bon Jovi as one of the production assistants, and that would have been one of her jobs – pick up the laundry from all the guys and have it ready for the next concert – dealing with Jon Bon Jovi’s and Richie Sambora’s sweaty thangs, booya – it was one of the challenges I recall……

That seems more like a booby prize to me.

By the way, I forgot to mention that this was the first time I went to the buses or anything. Usually I am too impatient to wait but my friend wanted to wait so I stayed. =) Usually, I only go to one concert but since they are really close to me and on the weekend, I figured why not. For those wondering, I think my final bid was $185 per ticket (I have a job so I figured why not), but if I had bid on the Oakland tickets, I would have won something for cheaper. Basically, they have a bunch of tickets for auction starting at first row to 8th (I think) row. You put in a bid and the highest go to first row so if you get outbid, you get moved down the rows. I think it’s pretty cool.

Is the Anoop photo from AOMM? Noticed no glasses and was hoping he stopped wearing them for Mad.

The first one is from AOMM and then he does put them on for Mad but it’s cute in person! The second one was from his group performance. I think a lot of guys like him because he just seems like a cool guy with a chill personality? possibly that he’s a relatable guy?

Sarver does seem really nice- I think he really wants to soak up this experience and meet the fans. I do kinda feel bad that he doesn’t have anyone specifically for him but I’m thinking he might have a few more fans in other states then.

I think they have someone designated to clean their clothes every night, but maybe they have an extra set as well? I think some of them might change little things about their outfit as they go on.

7th row is really close! so bring a sign for your fave, they’ll be able to see it! you can see everything and it’s good for pictures! just set your camera settings correctly =)

and youtube videos do not do any of them justice =)

Really great pics. The pic of Adam taking off his jacket … hot! I love the expression on his face.

Really great pics. The pic of Adam taking off his jacket ‘ ¦ hot! I love the expression on his face.

That was for the Adam fans. I knew they would love that! I have another one where he gives a super fierce look as he does down the floor thing but someone put their hand up and ruined part of the pic =(

It looks like they hold back the best seats to sell at a premium. That’s one way to keep the profit in their pocket instead of a middleman’s.

Yep. If people are willing to pay that kind of money, why should the scalpers make all the money?

I remember listening to an interview for Michael Buble’s manager (and Bryan Adam’s) and he really hates the scalpers (Bruce Allen, the manager). Anyway, he likes to do the auctions because that allows fans to buy from a reputable (in that they aren’t going to steal your credit card number or sell you fake tickets) vendor like ticketmaster and it is the only way to foil the scalpers. He says that Michael has it set up that the difference in price between a normal ticket price and the auction price is given to charity. So, it seems like a win all-around when they do that.

I’m gonna guess that, like theater companies and sports teams on the road, they have a wardrobe person whose job it is to make sure all of the performance clothes are gathered up every night, laundered every day, and distributed every night.

For some reason, I remember an article featuring Pickler back in S5 where they talked about just that being done (although, most of the Idols just wore whatever they felt like out of their normal closet that year). An interesting thing mentioned in the article was that they gave each of the Idols codenames to better protect their laundry. I don’t know if they do it this year. I have to think that if somebody came upon a laundry bag containing a tight pink dress and a plaid shirt they’d know which piece laundry belonged to which Idol.

BTW I noticed at my concert that Anoop was really popular with the males as well. Not to many Idols can say that.

thanks for the recap! glad to hear there was so much interest surrounding “noop dog!”….still hope he and matt are able to find a record deal after all of this is said and one. they both have potential.

The one story I wanted to tell, but not really part of the review because I didn’t want it to get too negative, was this one overzealous fan. I was kinda scared to say it because I was wondering if that person reads MJ’s but everyone here sounds reasonably sane.

As I said earlier, there were a ton of Anoop fans and most of them were super nice except for one who was basically acting like an entitled bitch. This is a grown woman, and I might give her some slack if she was younger, but she is not. I do not think that any of the idols have to come out to see their fans and I honestly would not have minded if none of them came out, as long as they just told us. Anyways, at first I thought she was just pretending to talk on the phone really loudly so that everyone can hear how mad she was, but then I realized that she really was on the phone with someone. She was telling her friend to get people to twitter the idols to come out and I’m pretty sure she told her friend to twitter Sarver because he’s the one that does look at what people send to him. Yes, harass Sarver on twitter and tell him to get Anoop out- kinda mean. I’m not sure what time the idols usually come out since this is the first time for me doing this so I didn’t mind waiting for a while. Maybe it was getting later than usual, but then she started talking about hating Matt because he was not coming out yet, I was like- WTF? Also the twitter thing did work because the first Michael said when he came out was who was sending them all those tweets. Ha, you can bet that they’ve learned not to read any messages before the show. The lady then proceeded to kiss his ass by telling him how great he is, while also dissing the other ones for not coming out yet. Oh, she also got a lot of dirty looks because she was yelling at other people waiting. Ugh..

She was just acting like that that she was entitled for them all to come out since she’s been waiting there for so long. Maybe I am over-reacting, but I just see them coming out as an added bonus, and not part of my price of admission. I was just also thinking that this was how all those twitter rumors start, from one pissed off person, even if her thoughts did not reflect anyone else’s.

Great recap, AC!

Re Matt’s mole: Have I solved the mysterious disappearance of Quatto The Mole?

I think Top Idol is wearing mourning clothes this week. She had a special relationship with “Quatto.”

Thanks for another great re-cap AC. Super photos too!

What kind of camera did you take in? I can’t decide whether to dig out my oldest digital in case they won’t allow my husband’s new=ish pocket digital with video capability into the arena. Did they search your bag etc?

LOL! Thanks for the hint about earplugs, ‘cos we are old. Really old

AC, that was an EXCELLENT recap. AND THANK YOU!!!

(I at least, wanted this information)

I hope the Matt fans do not get offended at this (since I like him too!) but when he took off his fedora and put it on a fan’s head for a picture, my eyes immediately went to his forehead to see if his mole was there. For those interested, it is not but there is a red line/scar? there in its place so it looks like it has been removed.

I adored Quatto. And now he is gone.

But in all seriousness, excellent recap! I love reading them, especially when they’re honest and they point out a bit of weirdness which may be going on, like the lady who sat there with her hand over her heart the entire time.

What was Danny preaching about? I mean, I can guess, but…come on! Just sing. IT IS NOT CHURCH!

Great recap AC. Love those pictures of Adam. Yum. I must say, I am glad that Anoop is getting the love from guys. In idoldom, that is unique. I think Anoop radiates a certain kind of cool. He’s my second favorite guy, so it’s glad to see. I would love to get a cool R&B cd from him. I think he’s very talented, and sexy too. I just wanted to add that because I don’t think it’s said enough between the Adam, Kris, Krallison, and Kradam love, ‘Noop Dogg get’s short changed a bit.

Love your recap, AC. The tiaras are awesome Too funny.

Anoop is a good looking, cool, smart, sexy, extremely talented guy with a smooth, sexy voice. Women want him & guys want to be like him.

also, find it very interesting that anoop got a got of cheers from the male fans. is it because he’s a nerd? or is it the fact he’s too cool even when he’s acting like a nerd? or because he’s Indian? hmmmmmmm

A bunch of the guys at work really liked him and these were people who had never been interested in an American Idol contestant before. According to one of my male coworkers, who really dug Anoop, it is because he is a “man’s man.” My husband says that he can see that being true. I am not really 100% sure what that means, but I think it might be that they wouldn’t mind being like him.

Thanks AC for you recap. I love how so many people can see the same concert and come away with sometimes total opposite opinions. Loved your recap and you made me more excited for when I go see them in NY.

thx for the recap. Great pictures too.

You know, I know that the plaid is Kris and all, but I hope he grows out of it. It just looks so country, but his genre is not country. You can see from the pictures that what people are wearing just gets more and more dramatic, hitting the zenith with Adam’s get up and makeup, and then there this gigantic fall with Kris. If he wore the black shirt he’s been wearing at the end, that would be far better–classy, city, energized–and it would get his look out of the weeds.

Thanks AC, lovely recap.

AC,

I have thoroughly enjoyed both of your recaps and especially for the little touches of humor.

Wow! Beautiful pics, AC! Thanks for the recaps! Can’t wait to see the show.. =)

great review and pics!

It is cool that dudes like Anoop though– I know a lot of people think that Idol’s fanbase is predominately made up of girls.. which it is, but, it’s nice when guys aren’t just all about the “hot chicks.” I think what makes guys like Anoop is that he’s cool, low-maintenance, and a nerd. But still likable and relatable, plus he’s big with sports!

But seriously, every time I look at a picture of him, I can’t help but to be distracted by how many layers he wears. A lot of people who meet him say he’s surprisingly lanky, but he looks downright bulky in those pictures! It might also be in part due to his shorter hair cut, which always makes the face look rounder, but still. He’s like a knight, with all those garments on. I swear, half the time he’s got a jacket, a vest, a buttoned up shirt, suspenders, probably a polo under all that, then more than likely, an under shirt. it’s like at christmas when your obnoxious sibling wraps your present with the entire roll of wrapping paper, and it takes forever to get to the present. If you look in his portrait for the program, he’s wearing TWO different color pink polo shirts and a jacket. Why two polo shirts?? I don’t understand.

sorry. it just really bugs me lol.

AC, Thanks for the recap! Question for you, I remember Kris’ interview where he was so excited about singing ‘Hey Jude’. I have been to AI concerts before and know people tend to sit for slower songs which I think ‘Hey Jude’ would be considered. Did people generally stand up for this song and sing along or did they sit? If they sat did they still sway with something lit up? Where glo-sticks selling like crazy out in the lobby?

I am just hoping Kris is getting the reception he was dreaming of when he selected this song.

Speaking of wardrobe, I’ve noticed Anoop hasn’t been wearing the same outfits every night, with the exception of the suit he wears performing Beggin. That suit is perfection on Anoop! Oh, and the glasses he wears with the suit in Beggin really add a cool vibe to the performance. I love his entire act throughout Beggin, his vocals are astounding and I love every move he makes. Great choreography and he really executes it brilliantly! He’s in character throughout the whole thing.

Anoop has been varying the outfit he wears in his set at different tour locations. Sometimes he’s wearing white pants and the layered vest look, sometimes he’s wearing jeans and a double-breasted jacket. I think it’s smart to vary the wardrobe for practical reasons as well as for variety, since I’m sure Anoop is aware the cameras are on him every night. I think the glasses are just a fun accessory that are in character with the two performances in which he wears them (Mad, My Prerogative).

Thanks for taking the time to give us your opinions and experiences at the concerts. It sounds like you had a lot of fun. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the the energy it took to share it with the rest of us.

I used an Olympus but a Canon works really well too. I just kept having to change the light setting because all the different sets are so different (from flash to no flash and back or I had a bunch of options for what setting it was). They do check bags but as long as it’s not an obvious recorder, it should be fine. Bring the new camera! (but make sure the venue lets in cameras too)

Question for you, I remember Kris’ interview where he was so excited about singing ‘Hey Jude’. I have been to AI concerts before and know people tend to sit for slower songs which I think ‘Hey Jude’ would be considered. Did people generally stand up for this song and sing along or did they sit? If they sat did they still sway with something lit up? Where glo-sticks selling like crazy out in the lobby?

I’ll speak for the floor area because people in the other levels usually sit for everything, unless you tell them to get up or something. For the floor, if people were sitting down, they got up towards the end of Bright Lights because they see Kris get up and they kinda follow? hehe.. Even if people were sitting, you can still see everyone swaying with their cell phones (or Iphone lighter application- ha!) or their glow sticks so it’s definitely the crowd reaction that Kris was hoping for. People sing the na-nas especially since that it’s a very easily recognizable song. glow sticks were $5 outside and I don’t know how well it sold but people usually bring their own (since it’s super cheap elsewhere). But in general, it’s a very happy feel-good moment at the end.

Let me know if you have any other questions though =)

Thanks for the lovely recap AC! The purple lighting looks good on Kris. Purple plaid suits him very well. And the guitar shot, omg.

Glad to hear so many guys were diggin Anoop. Definitely a good sign.

Oh please tell me someone got a close-up picture of Kris wearing a Kradam tiara! I loved that photo.

Thanks for another great recap!

Thanks AC!

He’s just a regular guy with an incredibly smooth voice and a very cool demeanor.

This. :smoke_tb:

sorry. it just really bugs me lol.

This is what I like to refer to as foreplay. :innocent2_tb:

OK AC…i really liked your re-cap/review of teh whole AI concert experience, but i think you’re being a bit too harsh with this fan. No I wasn’t there…but I’m sure it was a big misunderstanding. IMHO I dont think its fair to call her out like that. Word does get around and yes…we all do read MJ’s Blog…its quite a small world you know. Maybe they were just wanting to really meet their idol. Some of these fans devote so much time to these idols that all they want is to meet them.

Like i said, i hope you understand that this could all have been a big misunderstanding and to call out this person in front of thousands (even tho ppl dnt know who she is) is a little unfair IMO since u were here to recap about the concert and meeting the idols….but calling her bitch and all that crazy stuff was a bit too much. Oh well, im sure not everyone is gonna agree with me but whatever.

dipeza – I know what you’re saying, but I have to come to AC’s defense here. I don’t think she would have mentioned it, except for the fact that it seriously affected her experience. It would have been a little dishonest of her not to talk about it, IMO. It’s not like she gave the woman’s name or anything.

mar
Do they travel with a dry cleaner?? Do they have a pair of everything? I think Adam’s jacket is a one of a kind item’ ¦ I wonder what state it’ll be in after 50 shows LOL!

Especially since he throws it on the floor every night! LOL

Kirsten
I remember listening to an interview for Michael Buble’s manager (and Bryan Adam’s) and he really hates the scalpers (Bruce Allen, the manager).

Don’tcha just LOVE Bruce?! He’s so in-your-face and blunt; he cracks me up (Friday mornings always include a smile when I hear him on the radio while I’m getting ready for work). :wink1_tb:

Thanks for the great recap AC! It’s fun to read all of these different experiences people have at the concerts.

I personally love the whole geek chic vibe Anoop has. It works for him and still fits really well into the whole R&B thing he’s got going on. Lots of ladies love the sexy smart boys, and I happen to be one of them. The fact that he has a killer smooth voice doesn’t hurt either.

I know several guys who dig Anoop too. I asked two of them what it was about him and they both said they liked that he’s so chill and it’s cool that he’s into basketball and football. One friend said he thought it would be fun to shoot hoops with him and then just hang out after for a few beers. Oh, and they think he’d make a good album.

Ha ha! My one friend said that they really liked him on the show because sometimes he looked like he wanted to jump over the judges’ table and pummel the shit out of Simon. I think some guys can relate to that reaction better than the, “Oh, well. I did my best and had fun” business most idols usually put on. My friend saw his reaction as a typical dude’s response to being bashed on TV. I thought that was interesting.

Anecdotal evidence, but there it is.

Wow! Thanks for that great, great close up picture of Kris. I love your reviews because like you I am a Kris fan. It is always great to read positive comments about him and his performance. I love him for that genuineness too. But you also were positive about the others and that is great for their fans to read as well. As a whole they are a really talented bunch. Did I mention, I really love the picture!

Thank you for the feedback about cameras, AC – much appreciated.
We’ll take the new one and hope for the best. I think cameras are allowed as long as they don’t have video capabilities. Ours has, but the checking guys might not know that.

Hi Dipeza- Thanks for taking the time to respond because I am open to hearing the other side. =) I will say that perhaps I was a little harsh in calling her a bitch, but it was not like I was just eavesdropping for the side. For the most part, I was on the opposide end of her and I could hear her clearly so that warranted my attention.

@Will
I understand what you’re saying and yes i know she didn’t give the woman’s name. At the same time, all she needed to say was there were some bad moments while waiting on the buses and in a nutshell say what happened. But no, she went on and on about this. To say the least it hurt her feelings and the others that were with her. It’s said to be a big misunderstanding because she doesn’t know what was going on at that moment.

AC: as i said in my earlier statement, there were things said that were completely misunderstood because other things were happening at the moment. You didn’t wanna write about this because you said oh well maybe they don’t read MJ’s. As previously stated…word gets around. I apologize if maybe you got the wrong misconception and if this made your Idol experience a living hell but please…next time (if there’s ever next time) get some facts straight before calling someone a bitch and all those things u said. And dont take what I’m saying the wrong way..i”m trying to be as polite as possible. Thank you.

Two things in your photos struck me – but only after looking at them a couple of times (I must be tired!):

1. Scott’s eyes in that pic (head thrown back) are freaky! I know it’s just reflection/lights/camera flash, but he looks a little demonic. lol

2. **OMG**, Adam did the “Elvis” hair in S.Jose!!! How did I not notice this right away?? I love all his ‘looks’, but that swept-back hairstyle is my absolutely favourite. Oy.
