I’m uploading my videos slowly right now. Keep checking back at this link throughout the day. Also, Suz526 has an awesome collection of Manchester videos you need to check out right HERE.

The final American Idols Live show in Manchester, NH ended last night with “Don’t Stop Believing”–Kris Allen wearing Adam Lambert’s Jacket, the crew squirting silly string on the cast, the cast throwing feather boas and bras out into the audience, Michael Sarver throwing his jacket into the audience (the woman next to me caught it–it’s hers now), Adam tossing his jewelry out to fans, long long hugs and a curtain call that went on for many minutes after DSB was over…

Also hilarious: Kris Allen serenaded by a feather-boa beclad Anoop Desai, Michael Sarver and Matt Giraud as Kris sang “Ain’t no Sunshine”…

Videos:

Group Song: Don’t Stop Believing
Kris Allen: Ain’t No Sunshine, All These Things That I’ve Done, Bright Lights, Heartless, Hey Jude,
Adam Lambert: Bowie Medley, Starlight, Whole Lotta Love, Mad World, Slow Ride,
Allison Iraheta: Cry Baby, Barracuda, So What,
Danny Gokey: PYT
Group Number: Beggin
Matt Giraud: Hard to Handle,
Anoop Desai: Always on My Mind, Mad, My Pregrogative

Videos after the JUMP…

    Are there silly string fights at the end of every Idol tour? This is the first time I’ve followed an Idol season from beginning to end. I loved the way they enjoyed themselves so much after the show. Made me just want to hop up there on stage with them. Just wondered if this season was unique in the way the Idols got along so well.

  • http://onlinepastrychef.wordpress.com/ onlinepastrychef

    I have had the best time this season, both at the Charlotte concert and vicariously through all of the wonderful folks here. Thanks so much to MJ for all the hard work. Thanks to everyone who has participated. I was mostly a lurker, but I’ve so enjoyed this season. Looking forward to November 24, but I can’t remember why…. ;)

  • AnninSD

    Thank you MJ for having this site and keeping such good care of our addictions.
    Thank you to all the peeps that loaded the videos, you kept me coming back to check at 6 am most mornings.
    Thank you to the recappers and responders (for mostly lurkers like me) you made my summer fantastic!
    Thank you Idols for the best season ever.

    Favorite idols or not this blog is the most informative, entertaining site and is forever in my ‘list’ as a go-to on anything idol.
    :-)

  • https://twitter.com/draddee Sunn

    I’ve said it before and I’m happy to say it again; Thank you mj for a glorious summer. Your site has been home and you’ve been a wonderful host. We’ve irritated you and badgered you but you persevered, never, not once, failing to provide us with the best and the latest about our favourites.

    Cheeres mj, and god bless.

    Thank you as well to all my fellow guests.

    Damn! That DSB never fails to make me reach for the tissue, no matter how many times I watch it.

  • bahamamama

    Thanks, mj and all the people who wrote recaps. They were all great!

  • aa618892

    Thanks MJ for giving me a safe place to indulge my Adam obsession. Some of the fansites got too silly for me, so I appreciate your attempts ( I said attempts) to keep our fantardiness from reeling too far into madness. Keep the Adam news coming and I will never fade awaaaay.

  • CindyM

    Last night was definitely epic, the videos and recaps of the night point to that. I want to thank all of the video providers especially MJ, Suz526, TALC and Mindchgr for all the videos this season. I also want to really thank Rickey for his cellcasts and then Adamcast for the latter part of the tour. I really want to thank Adamcast for the LIVE video from last night for the 1st half finale, Danny’s last song and sets from Adam and Kris and that awesome ending. That was an awesome addition to our final concert listening party thread!

  • monte

    MJ,

    Last night I read several tweets including yours that said Danny NOT Michael threw his jacket into the audience and I believe it was your tweet that said the lady next to you or behind you was wearing Danny’s jacket. I know it is a minor thing but would like to know whose jacket it was?

  • tfmal

    Thanks MJ. It’s been a wild ride and I will miss them so much. I love how they are such good friends. Matt was so funny when he was looking at Kris sing and enjoyed Anoop and Michael too. The finale was the best, so much fun. I hope they partied hardy after the show. Keep rockin’ Adam and Allison. I don’t think any AI season will top this one.

  • Chicagolaw

    Thanks MJ! I have never really followed the Idol tour, so it was a lot of fun taking part vicariously through this site.

    DSB was both epic and heartwarming. I am an Adam fan, but I appreciated many things about this AI season.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Valilac1 VAlilac

    MJ,
    Your videos are full of win, as is this wonderfully informative blog. I don’t know if there are blogging awards, but if there were, you’d have our votes!

    Thanks for providing a meetingplace for our community – it’s been a summer to remember!

    *salutes you with respect*

  • Truthiness

    Thanks for the site, the photos and videos.

    Glad that the Idol boys were feeling better this last night of the tour, which made them able to give better, more epic performances. And cool to all of those that got to see it.

    mj, didn’t seem like the beyotch seated next to you harshed your mellow too much, that’s good because that would have sucked. And hope the fight that erupted in front of you vis-a-vis territory, wasn’t too weird.

    And you got to see SYTYCD dancers! That’s so random and cool.

  • Truthiness

    Keep the Adam news coming and I will never fade awaaaay.

    But is said with a helium voice? Because otherwise it doesn’t count.

  • wiredforsound

    Per Gary J’s recap he said Adam had pre-planned who to throw his stuff too following a powwow at the end of the stage. I just watched your video MJ and I didn’t see Adam talking to any fans and him throwing his items seemed completely spontaneous to me. Was that your impression too?

    Are there silly string fights at the end of every Idol tour? This is the first time I’ve followed an Idol season from beginning to end.

    I was wondering the same thing.

  • girlygirl

    Thanks MJ for this wonderful site. And to everyone who went to the concerts and posted photos and/or videos and/or recaps!

    And a huge thanks to the best Top 10 EVER — Kris, Adam, Danny, Allison, Matt, Anoop, Lil, Scott, Megan and Michael. What a great bunch of people — made me wish that I was actually friends with and/or on tour with them all! I wish ALL of them happiness and success in whatever they end up doing. And of course, I’m eagerly jumping up and down in anticipation of hearing the singles and albums from my 3 favorites (Kradison) in the next few days/weeks.

  • pat

    Let’s hope all the idols on this tour will have successful music careers. I know the odds are against all of them making it, but we can hope. Hard to believe that AI 9 is coming up soon. After this years group, I hope the bar will remain raised for the best top 10 again.

  • leeaundra

    I love your videos, MJ! They are so steady, crisp, clear and have great sound.

    I am probably the only person that was disappointed that:

    1) They didn’t wait until the song was finished to start with the silly string (I wanted “the glory note” one last time)
    2) There wasn’t a sweet Kradam/Kradison moment during the finale (or at least isn’t in the videos)

  • lob

    monte – I think both Danny and Michael threw their jackets to the audience. I’m pretty sure I saw Michael throwing his in one of the vids.

  • smartcookie

    I went looking for video of last year’s tour finale in Tulsa and this one shows most of it, including silly string and underwear and Mavid doing their Zoolander underwear bit while covered in silly string. I believe there was other silliness, as well, including Michael Johns wearing a fake pornstache for part of his performance and David Cook doing a cameo during Michael Johns’ set. Or maybe vice versa.

    I wish the big group hug at the end had been lit. It’s pretty epic in length, anyway.

    I found this fan video, too. It shows the silly string and Cook smashing his guitar and Michael Johns vamping behind Brooke while she sang. And it also shows how very beloved S7 was.

  • revcat

    Good luck to all of the Idols! Not all of them will continue to be in the music industry, but they all had their moment in the sun. They won’t forget this summer of fun and (mostly!) love and neither will we! :)

  • Tess

    I can’t even begin to imagine what last night was like for these 10 kids…and for me they will always be kids. Their journeys started over a year ago and they all had to endure some of the greatest highs and lows. I am sure they were so looking forward to last night…the end of an era…and like High School graduation, once you are on that stage you are abruptly made aware that it is the end and nothing will ever be the same.

    I had my fav, I “lurved” posting about the ones that irritated me, I ignored those that didn’t make much of an impact but, now that all is said and done, I’ll really miss all of these big and little brats. I’ll miss their shenanigans, their tears, their comaraderie, their good songs and their iffy performances.

    I wish them all the best…and collectively I’d like to thank them for making one of the worst years of my life on a personal level, more than bearable and oftentimes, through the joy of cyber space, filled with warmth and happiness. They became my little family that I could escape to when the “real life stuff” became too big to handle.

    And, again, thanks MJ and the rest of you for helping an old lady stay reasonably sane. Escapism is all its cracked up to be!

  • Heart

    I think both Danny and Michael threw their jackets to the audience. I’m pretty sure I saw Michael throwing his in one of the vids.

    I don’t know if Danny threw his jacket, but one of the videos shows Danny throwing his glasses out to the audience after the show. Danny also confirmed this during Matt’s final bubbletweet and said that he kinda regretted throwing his favorite pair of glasses.

    Of course, Anoop said he didn’t throw anything and the guys jokingly called him “selfish” and Adam said that “he lost a fan” (inside joke). It was all very silly and cute.

    I love that twitter really made this tour fun!

    Videos also confirm that Michael threw out his jacket too.

  • http://www.twitter.com/lambritta Blondie

    Michael just tweeted:

    michaelsarver1Back in Texas! Very good to be home but I have to say I already miss everyone. What a ride.

    And Kris too:

  • mr

    I love how it looks as though all the tension that was spoken of in the beginning of the tour between Adam and Danny&Michael seem to be non-existent. If anything, they seem to really love him in this video… and I also saw an interview from last week where the interviewer tells Adam that when asked who influenced him the most, Michael said that Adam did. And an interview in which Michael was asked what did he learn on this AI journey- he said to be accepting of different kinds of people (or something like that- I wonder what he was reffering to…).
    And so- positive energy really can prevail sometimes, huh? :-)

    On a different note: I join all those who praise MJ for her wonderful blog! It might be good for Americans- but it’s simply a MUST for international fans who if it weren’t for this blog, would have to wait three days in order to see the show broadcasted in our countries- so HUGE HUGE thanks!!!!!

  • http://myspace.com/girlgeek mj

    Last night I read several tweets including yours that said Danny NOT Michael threw his jacket into the audience and I believe it was your tweet that said the lady next to you or behind you was wearing Danny’s jacket. I know it is a minor thing but would like to know whose jacket it was?

    My tweet last night was incorrect. It was Michael’s jacket that the lady caught, not Danny’s. Although, I do believe Danny threw his jacket into the audience as well….

  • Cheetara86

    God That alligan hug gets me crying….

    then you have the all guy hug, the Adam-Megan-Lil-Kris-Michael-Allison hug, and the Tim/Allison hug

    Man, looks liek Allison is bawling :(

  • juls316

    Wow, it is over! I feel like it is the day after Christmas. Thank you to all that have posted video, photos and comments. It has been such a treat to see so much covered and I’ve loved it all. Thanks again to all that contributed and to MJ for the great blog. I am an AI fan and really loved S8, especially Adam. I saw the Idols in Kansas City and thought they were great. I will look forward to Adam’s album and solo tour.

  • deez

    The ANS video is great! I love Matt’s face when he’s leaning on the piano looking at Kris, and Sarver with the rose is priceless! I don’t know how Kris kept his composure as well as he did.

    You can tell how much they genuinely feel for each other. I loved Season 8!!!!! Thank you MJ for all your hard work in making this tour available to everyone, and putting up with all of us.

  • http://www.TheAdamLambertConnection.com/forum flynnsgirl

    Hey Everyone,
    TALC asked Adam to do a little shout out to the fans who were able to make it to the Tour.
    Thought you might like it.
    MJ, if it’s worthy maybe you could embed it.

  • Jhoy2theworld

    Am mostly a lurker here, although every once in awhile I will post. I will miss hurrying home on a concert night, logging into my computer and going into MJ’s blog and listening to the underwater cellcast, reading all the comments and fan wars :) etc. I miss last night’s video cast due to a previous engagement. I don’t know what I was thinking when I made that engagement. Duh!!! Tried to get out of it but couldn’t. Anyway, it took me a long time to read the comments from last nights and it certainly epic.

    Thanks MJ for the concert memories. Looking forward to future news about blossoming carreers for S8 finalists.

    Can’t WAIT to get home to watch all your videos, MJ! See the tour is not completely dead yet!! (She says with desperation.)

    Thank you MJ for putting up with all of us and creating such an exceptional site that as Sunn and everyone else so beautifully put it, has become a home for many of us. Who knew experiencing concerts vicariously could be such an awesome time?

    This really will be a summer to remember! <3 MJ!!

  • jammasta

    Oh man, epic ANS. Alligan hugs were so excessive I almost wept for them. Loved it. Love the love. So much love from me, lol. Almost enough to make this straight man cry. Man…. It’s been a great summer. I hope the best for these guys.

    Love to Michael, one of my first favorites, for being a nice guy and keeping us up with Twitter. Keep it up, show the love.

    Love to Megan, for doing your bird call for me at the barricades (loved it) and for being yourself.

    Love to Scott, been through quite a bit, you work that piano magic and do well.

    Love to Lil, my first early favorite from this season, I believe in you girl. Show off your skills! Oh yeah, and thanks for singing with me a little at the buses lol.

    Love to Anoop, my nerdy cool guy. Keep it stylin’.

    Love to Matt, my third early favorite, for the humor, fun, and awesomeness.

    Love to Allison, it may have taken me the longest to get you but you got it. Knock us dead. I also like that you didn’t act grossed out when I proposed marriage as a joke, and thanks for the picture together!

    Love to Danny, my second early favorite, I know you’ve been through a lot and I respect you for pulling through it. You’re awesome. You actually made me consider a pair of designer glasses.

    Love to Adam, because though I may not be one of the gushing fans or the type to like the screaming, and though I was very skeptical about you baring your arms to the world, I became a fan of you for your awesomeness, the great performances, and the great fun you gave everywhere. Hope you become the worldwide star you deserve to be. You have no idea how many people you’ve made happy. I love that you said Obama is an American Idol for the change he will bring, but I think you’ll bring immense change, too. To the kids at Donors Choose. To the world. I can now say, despite my being an Allenite throughout the season and always sticking with it, that I am a proud Glambert.

    Love to Kris, my final favorite, and my #1 throughout most of the season. You are the best. You are what I want to be like and where I want to be in 4-5 years when I’m the same age as you. Mad respect for you. You made me appreciate the finer things in life. You actually gave me more self-confidence. You are my idol. You’ve actually inspired me to consider philanthropic actions and working for others and the needy, to help others and become a better person. I hope we meet again. And Adam. And Lil. Hell, all of you guys, those few seconds I spent with you guys weren’t enough.

    Sorry guys, I just had feelings after this. It’s been so amazing, thanks MJ, thanks Rickey, thanks everybody!

  • Squirrely

    I love seeing all the lurkers posting here and in the concert thread. Hey guys *waves*

    @Squirrely, I left my ear buds at home. Can you tell me what is in the video? Won’t be able to watch for several hours.

    Best. Bowie. Ever.

    I went to one of the earlier shows and I’m just so amazed by how much looser and freer that performance has become. It’s simply joyous now.

    I love your videos, MJ! They are so steady, crisp, clear and have great sound.

    I am uploading them uncompressed and they are HUGE. That’s why it’s taking so long to get them online.

  • Squirrely

    Hi Susan M. – this isn’t exact but pretty close.

    Hey guys thank you so much for all your support across the country. You know I love you. Thank you for throwing up tons of fun presents on stage and coming with your, signs t-shirt, glitter and nail polish. It’s been awesome, hopefully if this album does well I’ll be on another tour. So keep your ears peeled.

  • jersey

    Hi, MJ. I didn’t post much after the season was over but I still checked often! Thanks for everything you do, as always.

  • ptslittlecomment

    1) They didn’t wait until the song was finished to start with the silly string (I wanted ‘the glory note’  one last time)
    2) There wasn’t a sweet Kradam/Kradison moment during the finale (or at least isn’t in the videos)

    Just guessing but it may have something to do with

    1) last year they turned the lights off of everyone onstage and although they stood there hugging for at least five minutes no one could see except when flashes from the camera went off
    2) Megan didn’t let go of Allison long enough for her to hug anyone other than Tim at the very end. But Adam and Kris did hug a few times in the melee. They made a few connections, including the moment in which Kris pretended to throw Adam’s jacket into the audience.

  • Susan M.

    Thanks, Squirrely!!

    … hopefully if this album does well I’ll be on another tour. So keep your ears peeled.

    Let’s hope that’s the understatement of the year.

Most important, thank you to the 10 idols who made it so much fun to follow this summer!!!

    I love the Kris ANS video!! It was so much fun to watch them all interact and amazing that he didn’t mess up more than he did.

    One of the funnest post I remember is when the mic stand fell on the floor.

    Someone (sorry, I don’t remember who) posted this:

    Adam didn’t say this (he was busy singing) but the poster suggested this is what he might have said.

    He looked down and saw the mic stand on the floor and said “What the fuck are you doing down there? Up with ya!” And the poor thing fainted.

  • SCORPIO14

    Finally at home and see all the vids – blocked at the office. Another seldom poster “big lurker” here. Thank you MJ for all your hard work and dedication. Also, thanks for the keeping the site comments section with very little advertising. I can read the comments to my hearts content and it looks like I am doing research LOL!! It will be hard to beat the Season 8 Idols – a group of talented “sweetie pies” with the biggest sweetie being the one they all looked up to Adam!!!

  • Squirrely

    Adam tweeted

    adamlambert Idols Live tour has officially ended. Thanks to my fellow idols and all the fans for making this summer such an adventure.

  • bean99

    Thanks for the videos, Mj! I haven’t followed the tour much but was fun to see the last group song especially. You could see the emotions involved. I don’t remember seeing the idols throw so many things to the fans but am not sure. It looked like Danny threw a pair of his glasses too. I bet they’re finding it strange tonight.

  • Cate

    I still have a little wine left from last night, so (lifting glass) here’s to you, mj, and your kindness in weaning us!

    Great post from Jim C.

  • Cate

    I’d also like to add that, in the beginning of and during the AI season, there was a lot of hatefullness going on but, by the end, love conquered all and that is what made it so special for me.

  • Idols09forever

    Thanks for all the coverage, and I loved your summary of your fans at the dinner, plus your season summary. I disagree with some small points, but all in all, I’m in your court. I voted for Adam after the finale, but I knew I would be very happy if Kris won, mainly because I thought he actually performed better that last time. I actually was very pleased with the outcome–Adam was going to be a star no matter what, and a truly “good guy” and good musician, an underrated person, would get a big boost in a career. Agree that I saw Allison, not Danny (though I like his voice), as the “threesome with talent.”

    Funny you should say about Anoop’s voice. I enjoy watching all the finale videos on tour because the purity of his voice–plus range–is so very striking.

    And I guess I am a Cougar who like all, has ignored her children so I, too, can wander out to the computer between 6-8 a.m. with coffee cup in hand to review the previous night’s videos. My kids–18 and 22, have threatened an intevention.

  • idolslc

    Could someone please remind me what video to watch for the mic stand falling to the floor. I know WLL – but what city – or specifically what vid do you recommend?

  • mahrikka

    What a fabulous end to my favorite season by far. I can’t imagine Idol ever being the same for me. This is the first time I was inspired enough to attended an Idol concert. It was the first time I spent hours each day combing the web for information. While I’m not all that vocal, I was here at least every morning and evening. I was, am, and no doubt will continue to be awestruck by Adam, I can’t wait to hear what Kris, Allison and Danny come up. I respect and appreciate them all.

    Last night was bittersweet. I was sad the season and tour had ended but am so looking forward to albums, tours and beyond.

    Huge thanks to MJ and everyone for all their contributions!

    allison still working hard

  • SCORPIO14

    Wow – Alli going to Sweden – I am 99% sure other than the tour going to Canada, she has never been out of the US. At least she will not be there alone and will have a driver pick them up at the airport and probably drive them to where ever they need to go. She really needed to rest at least for 24 hrs. and not be taken to another country! That’s show BIZ – her CD is top priority and fun and rest will have to take a back seat – same goes I am sure for Adam and Kris beginning right after the Ford Detroit shin dig.

  • pcaindawg

    A huge thanks to MJ and all that she has provided by way of her awesome web site. This year was a first for me and I have loved every minute of it. Big Adam fan but enjoyed all the recaps and read every one of them. Some made you feel like you were there. I’m just waiting for Adam’s solo tour! Will miss checking this out and watching the great videos although I know I will continue to watch what has already been posted. I don’t know if I will do this again – ever – but we’ll see what AI9 brings. I doubt that there will ever be another Adam though. He’s what brought me here and to all the internet sites – never would have thought it! Bye all and good luck!

    Awww..jammasta ‘“ you made me cry all over again. Thank you for posting that ‘“ it was great.

    It’s been great hanging with such a great bunch of people and to have somewhere to go to where people understood what you were feeling when friends and family did not.

    This: And now I’m crying. Damn. I really tried not to, but the sentiments here just keep pouring in. All these people, dredged up from their quiet complacency about music by Adam, brought together on this site because we were looking for information and found some sane people to share with when we felt slightly crazy. And then, many of us realized how cool the rest of this group of performers were this year!! How awesome to revel in someone’s dreams coming true and to watch diversity bring people together.

    Jammasta, just got home and you made me cry. Beautiful post and a lovely way to end the Season 8 tour.

    This is so strange. I just looked at the video of DSB and you are right, it was Michael’s jacket that the woman caught, but I saw Danny throw it and I saw the woman catch it and heard the little girls’ screams. You can hear them in the video. Still is is Michael’s jacket. Even if she thinks she caught Danny’s. Danny did throw his glasses, but I think he just tossed them gently. I think Adam knew who he was throwing his stuff to because he warned somebody that the first necklace was heavy. I thought he recognized fans sitting in the front middle section (center past the third row) and aimed stuff in their direction. The Glambert hat he wore came from a woman in the second row, but I didn’t see him throw anything to her. He also apologized to someone for tossing a bouquet they had given him back into the crowd.

    I tried to edit the above comment after I watched the video of DSB. It was Michael’s jacket that the woman caught, but I saw her catch it and I saw Danny throw it. She and her girls (you can hear them screaming on the tape) thought they caught Danny’s jacket. Oh well

    Finally had a chance to watch the videos. *sob, whimper, whimper, sob* they were truly stunning, MJ. You could see so much of their emotion and interaction. It is beautiful.

    No one has pointed out (that I’ve seen, I’ve had to jump ahead in places) that Adam is doing Alli’s T-Rex arm dance at the beginning of SR. (Of course, I like to call it the Allosaurus). So phresh. I love her g-string and tail. MJ, your videos are particularly epic in that you track Allison in them. So many videographers stay on Adam the whole time (not that I blame them one bit), but you never see what Alli’s doing.

    She really is vibrant.

    Thanks for posting the videos. I loved the final song and all of the love among these top 10. How fun is that to see. I haven’t watched all of the videos yet, just Kris’s, but he sure poured his heart and soul into this final performance. Every song was fantastic. Talented group. I wish them all success.

    Yay..thanks for the Barracuda and Cry Baby videos!

    I’m more a lurker who just posted a few times (my English is not good enough). But I come here everyday, many times a day. Thank you so much MJ for this wonderful blog Thanks everyone who posts videos, comments and tour recaps. I love watching and reading them so much. You guys are full of wit, intelligence and incredible sense of humor. I do hope the idols will be successful not just in the U.S but around the world, especially Adam and Kris. So at least, this fan here in Asia would be able to buy their albums and listen to their music’ ¦ and..to my best wish..attend their concerts here.

    This! Thank you mj for all your videos (I finally got my Cry baby!) and for tracking Allison during Slow ride.

    Aw, Allison got a rose thrown at her during Barracuda…sniff, it’s over.

    I love MJ!!! He is a good man. Many members on the largest STD dating
    site Positivefish.com said that he donate at least $50,000,000 to help the HIV sufferer
    in Africa.

    Goodbyes at the buses. Tear,Tear.

    I gotta say that I can be categorized as a lurker of this blog since day #1 of the Idols tour when I chanced upon it much to my delight! :) As I live in Asia, I was not able to attend the concert but with this wonderful blog, I was able to come back and check out the latest updates everyday! It sure has been like a roller coaster ride throughout this incredible tour as they were some anxious moments with endles speculation on Adam being stalked (yikes!) to being sick (double yikes!) to the countless “Adam_gates” on each concert nights! I also happen to be one of the casual AI fans who got absolutely hooked on Season 8 after having seen Adam performing “Black or White”. :)

    I would like to thank MJ for providing this fantastic blog for Idol fans to gather (and especially fellow Adam fantards!) and all the regular posters on this blog for Season 8 AI tour as I could surely count on your guys for my “daily fix” lol! ;) What a ride it has been! :)

    Wonder what has become of Drake? Haven’t seen or heard mention of him for quite awhile?

  • pinky72truth

    Do that woman really have it? There is a story that a girl actually had sole possession of it before she did.

    Did MJ piss off tptb again (like when she lost her photobucket acct) – her Youtube account just got suspended.

    I thought it was a thorough sweep by YT of all videos, but the TALC vids are still up….

    I snooze. I lose. :(

    Hope the videos come back. I was metering them out slowly and hadn’t seen them all. Are Suz’s gone, too?
