American Idols Live – Boston MA 08/18/09 – Photo Galleries
Here are my galleries from the Boston, MA American Idols Live Tour concert on August 18.
I wasn’t very happy with my seat, I was 5 rows back facing the side of the stage with a phlanx of video nazis standing right behind me. Bleh. But I managed to fire off some decent shots, despite the harassment. Heh.
Still to come: Concert re-cap and interviews with Michael Sarver and Scott MacIntyre from Boston’s Press Hour.

Thanks for the awesome pics mj. Loved Adam #7 in the smoke. Very cool.
Man, Matt’s pants are tight! Megan just looked like Barbie. She looks much more beautiful when she’s without the makeup or at least with straight air instead.
Fix for Kris link. Open Adam. When the page open look for the words Photos by MJ. Click on MJ. A new screen will open with Kris. Click on the picture of Kris.
I’m pretty sure Allison knows what she looks like when she sings just as I am pretty sure whatever her face does is not something she completely controls, it’s what she feels at the moment when she’s into the music. I also love the T-Rex arm, it’s her signature move. They all have their little quirks, Kris and Adam too.
Thanks for the pictures mj, they are fantastic.
Your pictures are just fab MJ, which doesn’t surprise me in the least.
You managed to capture the essence of many of the idols performances better than many others that I’ve seen.
A big THANK YOU to conchcast for providing info on how to view Kris’ pics as I was saddened when I could not open them at first.
Since I myself have facial expression beyond the norm, I find Kris all about showing it just like he his feelin it, very real even if it isn’t always pretty. His heart shows in his face and only makes me love him all the more. :wub_tb:
They were all just great MJ, but since Kris is my fav his are especially so. Thanks MJ!!
Thanks mj for the photos! they are awesome
Really great pics of all the Idols MJ. Do you moonlight as a photographer? Really Awesome.
Wow, mj, your photos (from both shows) are terrific. Thanks for sharing these.
MJ, your pics are absolutely incredible, some of the best I’ve ever seen. Video nazis have nothing on you! Thanks for sharing with us.
Excellent pictures as always. Sorry you had to deal with camera nazis. Grrrrrr.
Also hope you had fun at the concert! Thanks so much, as always, for sharing the pics and everything.
Oh and don’t forget the faces that Kris makes, already parodied by Anooooop! I love these faces personally.
Well, I hope she enjoys looking dumb and unattractive.
Omg I’m soooo excited 4 ur recap
alison, if you want more great pix of Noop, check out ontd_ai (Newark review). I don’t know how to post links, but this is a great supplement to the plethora of goodies given to us by MJ.
If you are implying that this is the way Allison sings everything, then you are wrong, wrong wrong. Go back and look at the duet with Cyndi Lauper. Her expressions were absolutely beautiful. MJ’s photos are beautiful, but they are capturing specific moments. Cry Baby is a song of pain – and Allison captures it well. Check out videos of Janis Joplin singing it – talk about unattractive faces. I doubt that Janis ever stood in front of a mirror rehearsing her facial expressions.
One of the things that attracts me to Allison is the honesty of her emotions. She really gets into her songs, and if that results in some unusual facial expressions, so be it.
Not dumb and unattractive, just intense – and real.
Thank you jordison. They all have facial expressions while singing and what I see in Allison’s face is a lot of intense emotions. If that results in less than perfect facial expressions then so be it. It would be pretty weird for her to sing a song like Cry baby with a plastered smile on her face.
Whatever, she looks terrible. And it’s not necessary.
I hate when people confuse grimacing while singing as “emotion”-any one can make a pained expression while singing.
She’s already not a really pretty girl, and those expressions she makes don’t do her any favors.
and even during her “time after time” performance, she did her crazy arm thing. She’s just awkward, clumsy, and doesn’t know how to move herself. and she still made ugly faces.
I mean, if you look at the photos taken of her and legitimately believe she looks good– then.. that’s on you. I lurve me some anoop but I can recognize when his snarly face makes him look dumb.
