Danny Gokey, Anoop Desai and Michael Sarver twittered pictures from this afternoon’s American Idols Live! Tour rehearsal…

According to Danny, the Idols did a full run-through this afternoon. “These Idols can sing there faces off!!! I’m enjoying this front row seat. Come check it this year!” says Danny.

Adam Lambert and Scott MacIntrye aren’t in the photos, sorry!   But, the rest of the Top 10 make an appearance…

The tour begins on July 5 in Portland, OR.

More pics after the JUMP…

    I think Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s tweet to lay off the gossip is only to do the right thing. I do not believe that the two are good friends. I think they have a good working relationship, and thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s all.

    I happen to believe that they are friends. After rewatching the season and scrutinizing body language, I saw warmth and friendliness between them both. I don’t think they are as close as Adam and Kris. These two were roommates, just as Anoop and Danny were…and Anoop has stated his closeness to Danny.

    I also think Adam had been too busy to know the scope of what was going on or he would have tweeted earlier. Adam has said that he doesn’t lie. I wish people should take him at his word and accept that the two are friends.

    I hope the tweets put the whole Danny/Adam thing to rest. They’re both strong personalities who tend to be honest. So I believe them and if they’re lying, well obivously they want to end the negativity. So I say end it.

    The tour should be a fun time and is usually a real family event. It’s the last hurrah for most of them so I say let them enjoy it. And judging by the pictures, Danny seems to be friends with most of them. And I doubt the girls would be all over him if he was a predator/creep. It doesn’t work that way.

    Danny’s not my fav but he’s not worth my while to diss him.

    ….still doesn’t stop me from wishing Sarver wasn’t there because I do believe there is some bad blood between he and Adam.

  • girlygirl

    Adam has stated before that he and Danny respect each other and get along fine. They may not be the closest two people in this bunch of Idols, but that’s ok.

    According to Matt’s tweet, Alex showed up and sang at Kris’ bday party!

    #The party went well. Good to see everyone. Even @AlexWTrugs showed up and sang heartless on the guitar. haha funny guy. good hangin’ again# about 6 hours ago from web

    Alex is a funny guy! Here’s his tweets on the party…

    #It was so fun to see everyone again! kris’ birthday was a success. he successfully aged. like a fine wine he only gets more manly with time#about 6 hours ago from web
    #@ontdai i would do heartless, but that was kris’ tune… i dont want to steal his thunder! ill do another kanye song though perhaps :)#
    #@SPF23 i was kidding, i love him. hes the man.#about 6 hours ago from web in reply to SPF23

    I hope someone at the party took pictures!

  • jpfan

    I wish Alexis was there instead of Sarver. But if the bad blood is between Matt and Adam would it mean that Matt shouldn’t be there? I’m guessing past tours included people who didn’t like each other for various reasons. They all survived somehow.

  • BestAI

    Not sure if I care for Alex. He was the one who made the disparaging twitter remarks about Adam.

    I hope these pictures and the tweets from Danny and Adam will put this Adam/Danny drama to rest. In my opinion, many of Danny’s detractors have tried to paint him as someone he is not. You can tell by the pictures and by the tweets from Matt, Anoop and others that Danny gets along very well with all the Idols. I haven’t seen or heard of much interaction with Adam and Kris in the group but that could be because they are busy getting things started on their albums and don’t have as much free time.

    I for one am very excited for the tour. It should be a great show. I would love for the fans to just enjoy the ride along with the Idols and quit the nastiness but knowing Idol fans that will never happen.

    So, if Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s mom or dad accompanied her, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d bet she wouldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t have a problem.

    Pure speculation on my part…but since it seems like the Idols are all staying at the same place, (hotel, extended stay suites) and it was pretty late when they went out…I would say Allison is probably being chaperoned by her idol friends, not her parents.

    This is a pretty mature young lady that seems to have parents that realize that their place is in the “background” of her life. Besides, Lil and Megan are there (both who are parents) as well as all her “very protective older brothers”. And I bet that the idol group has some staffers that hang out with them, too.

    Couple of notes: Based on Matt’s new haircut pic, it looks like he has had the opportunity to take care of his mole. Probably why he has been wearing a hat so much…to cover the band-aid while it was healing.

    It looks like all of the idols are real close and they seem to be a huggy group. Good for them!

    Scott is 24 going on 50. I just think his personality just doesn’t lend itself to a lot of group interaction. Speaking of Scott, has anyone heard if his little sister has had her surgery yet. I do hope everything is going good for her.

    I continually get a good laugh when fan groups are worrying themselves about songs and how many at the tour concert. Next thing you know there will be posts (after the youtube tour videos are released) arguing because one idol got to sing for 30 seconds longer than another even if they had equal songs. So many fans seem to take this kind of stuff so personally and they interject their own feelings onto the idols. Me…I’m just going to enjoy what I get since I feel like the “competition” is over and my three favs all got contracts which is the purpose of idol anyway.

    I think Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s tweet to lay off the gossip is only to do the right thing. I do not believe that the two are good friends. I think they have a good working relationship, and thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s all.

    Is it really necessary to analyze exactly how “good” their friendship is? It seems such a pointless exercise to dwell on the issue. I think this only leads to fan wars that end up hurting one’s favourite Idol.

    Tess, I am an avid reader of this site, but I don’t comment much. I always find the posts amusing and love all the grassy knoll theories. But you Tess, I always enjoy because you are centered, insighful, place everything in perspective and bring the other posters back to center. Thanx for making my last 3 months enjoyable. I went to Wales for 10 days to visit a friend and was able to use her laptop and tune in. She loves Adam too.

    But an interesting side note, all of her family is extensive, love Adam, but found Kris to be the better musician – their all musical. My last day we spent in London and went to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert on stage. It made my heart warm because it is one of my favorite movies adapted for the stage. What touched my heart was the audience – all ages getting into it from 10 to 80 years of age. Straight men were wearing pink and purple boas and had no qualms about their masculinity. The actors received a standing ovation. Fabulous show. But also Soho is very eclectic. I got to see first hand the lack of homphobia and how everybody just fit in- it was fabulous. Adam even said how much he enjoys Europe.

    Sorry off topic but I couldn’t resist.

    Tess: This is a pretty mature young lady that seems to have parents that realize that their place is in the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“backgroundà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  of her life.

    Very true; but a bar/club couldn’t care less about that when it comes to letting a minor in. As for the other kinds of potential chaperones you mentioned, I doubt that a club would accept a gang of older friends (i.e. the Idols) as chaperones, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a bodyguard/assistant would suffice. I also wouldn’t be surprised if some places would insist on a parent.

    Besides, Lil and Megan are there (both who are parents)

    Would that be the same Megan that Allison was “parenting” when Megan was drunk off her ass a couple of weeks ago? :biggrin_wp:

    Hey “BestAI 11:26″ what twitters are you taling about and can someone enlighten me on who “Alex” is? (Not Alexis….Alex)

  • http://www.last.fm/user/RemusL/ RemusL

    Alex is Alex Wagner-Trugman who was in the Top 36, group 3.

    He’s a pretty funny guy. His Twitter page is here.

    I’m a little late to the party, but just had to say those pics are a lot of fun to watch! Too bad no Adam in them, but Matt, Allison, Lil, Anoop, Danny, and Megan all look like they’re having a blast, which is great :-)

  • sannlatham

    Adam must be a better man than most if he can forgive Gokey and his family for the terrible things they posted on Facebook and also Twittered. I don’t know either one and probably never will, but I was heartbroken for Adam as I would be for my own son if someone did that to him.
