I have a lot of stuff to share from my Charlotte American Idols Live Concert! Experience!–including a re-cap, but first, let me get those photos out to you, ’cause some of you have been asking.

The collection is organized into albums via Google Picassa. Just click on the individual Idol’s album to browse the photos.

I have to say, Idols that performed sitting behind a piano are underrepresented here, because I could not see the Idol from where I was sitting.   Also, if I was videoing a performance, I couldn’t take a picture…

Check out the galleries after the jump.

 
  • Jayd

    These are beautiful pics! Thanks for posting them, MJ!

  • BeckyMD

    wow MJ, Allison’s pic you put under the headline is fabulous. It can be used for her first album!

  • Squirrely

    OMG these are great! The Adam pictures is beyond fabulous.

    ETA: Allison looks terrific too – heck they all look great – nice job MJ.

  • Gerien

    Thanks Mj. Megan looks really beautiful in the pictures.

  • SpenserJ

    Wow – you sure took a lot of pictures! And, they’re all so good. I love that Allison always has that fan blowing her bad-ass, rocking hair all around.

  • jill16

    Wonderful pictures MJ. Thank you! Adams are gorgeous.

  • wand3rful

    great shots….i find allison’s pics the most engaging …her hair, her energy, the background color…all fierce

  • auntieaimee

    Allison should bring a fan with her everywhere she goes. She looks fantastic with her rocker hair flying.

  • alison8701

    holy hell. The plethora of Anoop photos is so grand I can hardly stand it. It’s like looking at the sun.

    http://picasaweb.google.com/mjsbigblog/AnoopDesaiAmericanIdolsLiveCharlotteNCAugust12009?authkey=Gv1sRgCPzbk9CsiqX6Rw&feat=embedwebsite#5365820072453899330

    my fave. Uh-huh gi’frand.

    yikes. Anoop is so long and slender. It’s weird to think that he’s the same height as Adam, if not a bit taller.

    Wow you did take some GURATE pics. I will look at the rest. After I look at Anoop’s again.

  • Yss

    Thank you so much MJ, the Kradison pics are awesome, especially Alli’s, those are strikingly fierce!

  • suebrody

    Awesome! And I agree: See if Jive wants to use your pic for her album cover!

  • DEfan

    MJ, your photos of Adam left me teary-eyed. Breathtaking, simply breathtaking. You deserve some sort of a photography award. Is there one that’s the equivalent of the Oscars, Emmys, Tonys….? If so, I nominate YOU! Thank you so much…..not just for this, but for ALL that you do for us. MJ FTW!!

  • luvadamlambert

    amazing

  • Ellie2

    Thank you so much for all the photos, MJ! Especially the ones of the glittery alien–they’re fabulous!

  • alison8701

    In a totally non-biased way, I think that Anoop and Adam photograph best whilst singing. Megan does alright too, but some of the idols look kind of weird. It’s kind of hard to judge because a few of the idols were hindered by pianos at various points in time, so we don’t get the full picture… Anoop also seems to be the only one who SMILES! you know..

    To be fair though, Anoop isn’t really up and about, you know. He stays.. fairly still. Because I would give him the edge even over Adam, but it’s not really fair considering Adam mooooves. And Allison just looks ridiculous, but again, Anoop is stationary. and oh so handsome.

  • star

    Great shots, mj! Allison’s hair always looks so cool in photos. How many different colors does she have in there, anyway? Thanks for sharing and I look forward to reading your recap!

  • GeminiDolly

    Allison looks like shes in pain in most of those photos. LOL. Megan, youre so beautiful. Adam, marry me..oh wait…

  • Truthiness

    Wonderful pics. And Allison looks so fierce! love her.

    Oh and I’m practicing my “I will not get defensive about my fave. I will not get defenseive about my fave. I will not get defensive about my fave,” mantra ready for your recap. I tremble in fear.

    But really, thanks so much for sharing it and the pics. I am glad that the show was good, even if you weren’t as invested this year in any one person. Maybe that helps? In any event, a good show and family time, can’t go wrong in my book. sigh. Jellus.

  • Vada

    Wow! Great pics. Thanks, mj.

  • Adamme

    Mj… I love you.. love you.. love you…

    I was like.. ohh.. great Adam pic.. and I clicked on it to make it bigger.. and it opens up to a heaven of Adam pictures… and they’re GREAT pics… Thank you.. so much..

    Your camera is the newer version of mine… plus you’re in front row.. anyway.. thank so much for the pics… :clap_tb:

  • ppwars

    Fantastic pics, mj. TYTYVM.

  • Lisa

    Ooooo eye contact, errmmm camera contact, LOL. Lucky lucky woman on those seats and close up of whole concert. pfffttt.

  • Renina

    WOW Allison looks like a rock star in these pictures… Baby girl rocks! Thanks for the photos MJ

  • flyaway

    Yay,Yay, Yay! Such great shots! Anoop #10 is absolute fav with gorgeous eyes and a slight smile. No, wait. #27 where you captured him doing “spread myself around”. No, I better go back and review (again).

  • isisdagmar

    These are gorgeous pictures, MJ–some of the best I’ve seen of all these guys. Thank you!

  • Valentin432

    Thanks for the photos, I wonder how you could apreciate the concert while taking so many videos and photos.

  • madefourbabies

    MJ, I FLOVE your camera!! :wub_tb: And, you got some MAD skills, girl! These shots are superb! :clap_tb: :thumbup_tb:

  • adamisthemanfan

    wow these are great pictures…Adam’s are to die for and Allison looks great too…I agree the one you put up of Allison came out GREAT and it could be used for an album cover, its much better than some of the ones they have up on her official site…the main one they use makes her look like a cartoon lol

  • leome

    Great pictures MJ, and that Allison one is wowza!!! Really awesome. That girl needs to come to a stage near me asap!

    Not sure I like Lil’s hair, I think she’s beautiful… but that hair, mmm.

  • alison8701

    Yay,Yay, Yay! Such great shots! Anoop #10 is absolute fav with gorgeous eyes and a slight smile. No, wait. #27 where you captured him doing ‘spread myself around’ . No, I better go back and review (again).

    #25 is really good too. He can see how slender he is.

    and.. if anyone is wondering.. I figured out what that circular thing in his pocket is- it’s an “Eve pin” for his friend that was murdered.

  • riaspark17

    I feel kinda creepy asking this, but…..does Adam shave his armpits, or does he just have really light hair?

  • Bowie1

    Thanks mj for all the amazing pictures and the great videos, also. I know we all appreciate the hard work, time, and effort you put in to doing this for us! You are very talented!

  • ljsmack

    MJ, these are gorgeous. The one you picked to highlight of Allison could work as a CD cover. Thanks so much. and

    riaspark17–adam has light strawberry blond hair.

  • wand3rful

    if you don’t mind me asking….MJ, what type of camera were you using? what setting?

    even up close, i have difficulty taking quality shots at concerts (i cannot master the lighting).

  • vorona

    Yeah! You got some real eye contact with Lamberto there! Lucky lady. :)

    And I agree about the Allison photos. I love how between the lighting, the fan, and her hair color, it appears like she is some kind of goddess of fire with a magical flaming head. In a good way! Beautiful.

  • suebrody

    OMG. So many amazing Adam pics. *thud*

  • Idolme922

    Awesome pics and vids! Thank you so much… some of the best vids so far on the tour!!!! I went to SLC show…am going again….KC…who knows where else. that’s what airplanes are for, right?

    Hugs….Alana

  • oceana

    Great pictures. I hope Allison gets to see hers. I bet she would love to have copies.

    I used to go to figure skating events and take pictures, I knew other people who did too. We used to make copies and mail them to the skaters as gifts. At least, to our faves.

    Nice that there are pictures of everyone, too. Very thoughtful.

  • PattyH

    MJ, these pictures are phenomenal! The one you used of Allison on the front page is the best picture I’ve ever seen of her! Just wow!

  • http://www.f3properties.com Animated

    Oh Wow. What a great eye you have and a steady pulse.
    Thank you very much MJ. You are very kind to us your sometimes crazy inhabitants of this blog

  • newswoman

    Superb pics, MJ, just as your vids have been superb! Thanks for spending so much of your time taking these at the concert instead of just basking in the fun.
    And No. 68 in the Adam photos is to. die. for.

  • ljsmack

    MJ, I now know your secret. You have to have at least 8 arms in order to catch all these wonderful photos and vids, too. Are you a professional photographer, or do you just play one at concerts. My only problem is picking just one of Adam for my screensaver. :)

    Thanks to you, I now know that HBIC’s belt buckle does have a skull on it.

    Also, how can that backup singer not smile at Adam.

  • iloveoliver

    Thanks MJ I will have second row seats for the Detroit show so hope to get some fantastic pics of Kris.

  • Squirrely

    Anoop is looking for tour shots -MJ help him out ;p

    AnoopDoggDesailooking for a picture for my twitter background and i know there are a lot of quality shots from tour out there. help me out!

  • Miss Chaos

    Adam armpit hair again, too funny. MJ I just love Adam’s picture, #1, its the only one of him smiling, he’s so beautiful. And God, I shouldnt drink a glass of wine and look at his other pictures, UMMMM, too hot. And I love the Woodpecker hairdoo, his hair is looking great. So now we have 3 hairstyles, its that right? Elvis look, Emo look, and Woodpecker look????

  • abbysee

    MJ, you rock woman! Those pictures of Adam, fabulous, Allison, wow, and Anoop D’sigh’, yum! Really all of the pictures are great. Lil looks awesome as well.

  • Pam

    MJ,

    What awesome pics you have here! Very nice. Thanks for posting them. :)

  • joyous

    MJ, you ROCK! Thank you for all of the eye candy. Megan looks fabulous, tyvm, but Allison looks like a star of the first magnitude and attitude. And of course, Adam rocks it. You must have had the best seat in the house. How did you everscore such great tickets for your concerts? And did you have any difficulty with security for your vids?
    Oh, and thanks again.

  • http://youtube.com/user/ConcertCameraCat Sparkles

    Great photos. You did a nice job capturing each performer’s style & personality.

  • LindaT

    MJ, thanks for sharing the great photos (and the videos, too). I look forward to reading your concert recap!

  • spring2009

    And No. 68 in the Adam photos is to. die. for.

    Ok now, come on. Like really. I didn’t even open any of the thumbnails, just scanned them quickly, going WOW those are amazing. Then suddenly I am counting away 1, 2, 3, ….68. Holy hell. No need what so ever to take a camera now, they are all right here. Thanks MJ!

  • madefourbabies

    Ok now, come on. Like really. I didn’t even open any of the thumbnails, just scanned them quickly, going WOW those are amazing. Then suddenly I am counting away 1, 2, 3, ‘ ¦.68. Holy hell.

    LOL!! Me too! He’s got two hands full there, doesn’t he… :shock_tb: :wub_tb:

  • OutlandoGirl

    Seriously, MJ. Those pics of Adam are like a miracle. You should be canonized by the Pope. Thank you soooooo much.

  • CindyM

    Thanks MJ beautiful pictures. I got 2 pictures of outrageous fans outside, one pick of Sarver and a pic of Megan and my camera died. Thank goodness for people like you. Like the others, #68 of Adam’s = die for me. And # 55 is sexier than hell to me for some reason. Maybe it’s the mouth…LOL

    Beautiful pictures of all of them and I love the pic you used of Allison.

  • jlovesadamlambert

    Thank you for sharing the fantastic photos! ..Especially of Adam :-)

  • weareallinnocent

    These are AMAZING!! Thanks so much!

    So did peeps sneak in lasers to beam at Adam’s crotch (ok, belt buckle) or what? I saw a red one and a green one. Whadda ya think that means? LOL j/k

  • http://www.wholisticbirthways.net austinmidwife

    Oh. Wow. thanks MJ. Photos of Adam have me speechless and slightly tingling.
    Excellent shots of Allison too.

  • jms

    Wow! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for such amazing shots with us!!!! Is that enough !!! yet? No!!!! Thank you!!!!!

  • karend

    MJ, your pics and vids are incredible. It’s a good thing you are going to more concerts, I can’t imagine that you had any time to enjoy this one, you were so busy taking pics and vids!!

    For the inquiring minds, the definitive answer to the pit hair question is in Adam’s photo #26.

  • Susan M.

    S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G.!!! MJ, those are breathtaking and I’ve only been able to look at thumbnails since I’m at work, but Wow!

    And the comment that that should be Alli’s album cover was the first thing that popped in my head too.

    Like your videos, those are some of the best photos I’ve seen to date.

    You’re a magical, mysterious woman …

  • galaxygrrl

    MJ,

    these are simply awesome and so are your videos! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • snuffles

    FANTASTIC photos! That Allison photo is PERFECTION! Totally captures her! And the one where Adam is holding on to “little Adam” for dear life is…just…DROOL! God bless you and you’re perfect timing! LOL!

  • readon

    Thank you MJ. The pictures are beautiful. Even better, reading the comments makes its a shared experience.

  • mahrikka

    MJ, how did you do all of this? Wow! Gorgeous feature picture of Allison! I have to admit, I browsed all of Adam’s first and then Allison’s. I’m stunned, as usual, by Adam’s and love how you were able to capture Allison’s spirit. I’m going back for more, and I’m sure they will all be as spectacular as Adam’s and Allison’s. Thank you so much!

  • galaxygrrl

    Just looked at the photos again.

    (1) You see why they gave Megan such a shot. She is stunning. She has every bit of the package, but the musicality.

    (2) Allison and Adam are just meant to be rock stars. Both set of photos are amazing.

  • wiccagirl2009

    Thanks MJ. Love the photos.

  • vorona

    This is the first time I’ve noticed that Adam has a shirt on under that vest. You can see it around his mid-section in these pics.

  • aa618892

    MJ-Those pictures of Adam are seriously droolworthy. #68 OMFG. No sleep tonight again. Great job! Thank you!

  • suebella

    thank you mj for such a stunning collection of beautiful photographs and sharing them with us
    you are one very talented lady and it is a privelege to read your blog.

  • emmu2

    MJ- They are stunning! Thank you

  • LilMarie

    Thanks a ton, MJ !! The pictures are absolutely fantabulous !! How do you do it ? :)

  • whatever4444

    MJ Awesome pictures! I love all of Allison’s pictures. Her pictures show movement without being blurry. I don’t know how you did it since she moves a lot. I’m so impressed. Thanks.

    Just wanted to add… if it’s possible since you are going to other shows for you to take pictures of Allison during Barracuda. No one has been able to take good pictures since she is all over the stage. I think that you could do it, that is if you want to. Thanks again MJ.

  • bruno

    holy shit man. these are incredible.

  • bruno

    mj, what’s your secret as to how you get seats so close for EVERY performance you attend? do you order them the second it is announced that tickets are for sale? buy them on ebay? what? what?

  • Maria22

    WONDERFUL photos!!!!! I’ve looked at all of them, enough to satisfy every fan, lucky you for being so close and lucky us for getting to up close what we pissed from our ‘far-away’ seats…Thank you for the amazing eye candy, I loved Adam’s number 1….

  • ravengirl

    Oh.
    My.

  • PattyH

    mj, what’s your secret as to how you get seats so close for EVERY performance you attend? do you order them the second it is announced that tickets are for sale? buy them on ebay? what? what?

    I’m pretty sure she has said, in the past, she gets them the day of the show, sometimes at the venue. It’s usually a single ticket, so that helps.

  • http://www.flickr.com/photos/lojo2photos/sets/72157621808347786/ anthrogeek

    WOW, MJ, great job with the photos as well as the videos! Now I see why you only got certain videos – because you were shooting stills during the other performances. I’m just glad you didn’t make the mistake I did, which was to shoot stills WHILE shooting videos, which causes a 1-second or so gap (as well as an annoying shutter sound) in the video. One or the other, peeps, not both at the same time!

    For anyone who’s wondering about MJ’s camera, I believe she said in a previous thread that she was using the Canon Powershot SX5is. For those wanting to buy one for an upcoming show, the latest version of that is the SX10is, which is what I used, and it/they are excellent choices, no matter where you’re sitting! The ’5′ model has a 12x zoom, which is more than enough when sitting in the front row, but the ’10′ model has an amazing 20x zoom, so mine appear to be very close even though I was only in the 11th row (and working around &$!% Tall Guy, who still has a contract out on his life!).

    I normally use D-SLRs, not point & shoots, so one thing that bugged me was the shutter delay inherent in the latter, so you really have to anticipate your prime moment and shoot just before it happens. Also, be sure to RTFM beforehand (cannot say that enough, trust me!) and think about the Image Stabilization and Face Detection features.

    MJ, as fantastic as your photos are, can I give you a tip for the next show? Turn the camera sideways and shoot vertically in order to fill the frame and capture more performer and less empty background space. Who couldn’t use MORE Adam in the frame??!!?

    Sorry if this is long-winded, MJ, just wanna make sure peeps optimize their shooting, since most of us poor slobs will only get one… er…. shot at it.

  • Jasper

    MJ – you should seriously be like the official videographer and photographer of the Idol s8 tour. You take great pictures of EVERYONE. You videotaped at least one song from each Idol and not just of your “favorite”.

    They should hire you, seriously. Marketing, PR, everything. And pay you the $20 million they won’t give Paula. LOL. :grin1_ee:

  • Southern Breeze

    OHHHH MJ!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST OPENED YOUR PHOTO LIBRARY….HAVEN’T LOOKED AT THEM YET BUT I MUST SAY…………..I LOVE YOU….LOVE YOU…LOVE YOU. I”M IN ADAM HEAVEN!!!!! THANK YOU

  • http://www.flickr.com/photos/lojo2photos/sets/72157621808347786/ anthrogeek

    It’s not like I’m any kind of fashionista or anything, but I can’t help noticing the amount of detail in the clothing you were able to capture. Would especially like to know what Adam’s pants are made of. Seems too flexible to be leather, so what else would have that sheen to it that’s a fabric? (A rhetorical question, just inquiring minds wanna know….).

  • http://mjsbigblog.com/voronas-ontario-american-idol-tour-recap.htm/feed/ vorona

    Also, be sure to RTFM beforehand (cannot say that enough, trust me!)

    Anthrogeek, what does RTFM mean? I’m suddenly awash with anxiety that I might not do it beforehand since I don’t know what it means. :) My mind wants to fill in the F with a certain word, and I’m sure that’s not right.

  • alison8701

  • http://www.f3properties.com Animated

    I think Adam’s pants are made of stretch leather. It’s in the market and its a combination of real leather very thin about .9mm bonded over lycra and cotton mix fabric. Since what you see is the top grain leather ( mostly lambskin ) , it is really nice to the touch and it clings. I guess that is why his, uhhumm, are captivatingly hugged. Very expensive fabric though should be about $28.50 per square feet with yield of about 65%. Beguiling pair of pants indeed.

    Wow American Idol’s stylist has good taste. Or would that be Adam.

  • iluvai

    That’s a really cool pic of Allison. The best I’ve seen!

  • ivyrae

    MJ, You saved my night. I brought a ton of paperwork home from my office to catch up on, I am way behind. (mostly because I am overly invested in this whole Adam/AI gig). I figured since no concert tonite I could get it done. I just couldn’t get motivated. So, I thought just one quick look over your blog. And there it was. Perfect. A slide show of Adam showing on my lap top playing over and over again. Switched on the old i-pod to All Lambert aqnd before I knew it I was done with the tedious part of my job. Thanks so much. Now I dont feel so much pressure to get pictures when I go in 3 weeks. One last thing I asked last night about Twitter. How do I set that up on my phone. (Blackberry) I would love to tweet for everyone.

  • Janie

    MJ = MAGICAL!
    Stunning photos … I hope every Idol downloads theirs for a tour scrapbook … what a great gift! How did you take photos, video, and recap* notes all at the same time?

    I feel kinda creepy asking this, but’ ¦..does Adam shave his armpits, or does he just have really light hair?

    really light hair … there was even an up-close-and-way-too-personal photo posted on the blog once upon a time that proved this … yep, oh, the things we choose to remember …

    * Haven’t seen this yet, right?! It’s sure to be perfection!

  • LindaT

    Looking through the pictures again, just a superficial fashion note: I have to say that Adam’s leather jacket really is amazing. I haven’t been able to see it this clearly until MJ’s great photos, and I can now understand why Adam was so excited about it. All the intricate piecing and stud/ring/spike designs are fabulous, and the workmanship looks impeccable. Kudos to the folks at Skingraft — they really know their craft.

    And Allison’s jacket has some similarities to Adam’s — I wonder if she got hers from Skingraft, too.

  • Janie

    About Allison’s clothes: there are lots of long ties or whatever you’d call them and she’s such a whirling dirvish that they’re whipping and floating all around her … seems like she’s in constant motion and those ties are, too. That’s all I noticed.

  • champ

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3ZYHl4QINI

  • kradamour

    mj, there isn’t much I can add to the accolades above! but they are all true. Can’t help comparing them to the professional photos from the last (?) concert that made Kris look like Barry Manilow – sorry, can’t remember which concert they all start to run together! That photographer presumably was paid for his pix and you only have our love for compensation, hope it seems like an almost fair trade! And everyone who said the opening Alison photo needs to be on her album is totally correct. Incredible. They all are.
    Album for the idols? Absolutely. (If you can get it to them? Hard to know what they receive, actually.)
    Re Adam photos (yes, it so often goes there, doesn’t it?), I was particularly struck by the contrast between the photos in which he looks so fierce, and others in which there is an amazing and appealing vulnerability. You caught both so well.

    :clap_tb: Ahahaha, and MJ really had to take a pic of Adam raising his arm showing his armpit. So, for those still wondering if he is hairless or not, get a magnifying glass and scrutinize it. :)

    Delurking to say that I was at the Charlotte concert. Had a wonderful time. Here’s my review/recap on my blog, if anyone is interested. Written from the perspective of a Rabid Adam Fan, so be forewarned! http://onlinepastrychef.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/ai-live-tour-09/

    We said a “hi” to you, MJ since we knew you were there, too:)

    Thanks, isisdagmar:) It really was a great concert. Not only was it great to see them in person, especially Adam, but it was great to be able to share it with my mom!

    This is the real deal – Adam’s best friend Alisan Porter – I love her she is amazing talent.

    Yes, she is amazing. She has co-written a song for Adam’s CD.

    BTW: Remember the movie “Curly Sue?”………that was Alisan.

    thanks for the camera pointers guys!…off to read the stupid manual (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

    and.. if anyone is wondering.. I figured out what that circular thing in his pocket is- it’s an ‘Eve pin’  for his friend that was murdered.

    Aww, i know that he always put it in his pocket as this is what he said, but, seeing a tiny piece of evidence, makes me go awww inside. Thanks alison, i was one of those who were wondering. :kiss_tb:

    onlinepastrychef, you are the best! Very very funny and cute. I’m so glad you and your mom went together, painted your nails and the whole Adam thing. Thanks for the recap!
