Update: Matt and Kris sprayed silly string on the fans out at the buses after the concert. Fans talk about it HERE. Read an account of it HERE. “It was after the concert when the idols came out. It was around midnight and the idols all had to leave, but at the very end, Matt and Kris went down the entire line of people at the barricades and sprayed silly string at them. It was hilarious.”
Bubble Tweet Update from Adam: He still has no control over his personal social networking sites. Sads. HERE

Wow, I think this is the BEST “Heartless” I’ve seen posted yet!! Thanks!
Wow great.. This could be a his music video for this song. Wonderful.
Weak vocals! Huh? She must be insane. I am a ful blown Adam nut case fan but I think I am objective enough to see the viewpoints of people who don’t like him. But weak vocals is just nuts! Even people who dislike his style, his dress, his rock scream, still admit the guy can SANG!
Another Bowie Medley, complete, great sound, very close.

Adam at the barricades, takes a poster from a fan. He’s so incredibly sweet.

PattyH, great job with the vids! Thank you so much for taking the time to film and upload. You have no idea how much internationals like me appreciate your efforts.
Thanks again, you’re a star.
The person who posted that last Bowie Medley from up close is right (in their comments on YouTube). The Idols do make eye contact a lot. I was in the sixth row, and Adam made eye contact with me a few times. Kris did, too, and I got him to smile at least once. I am still feeling that! (Didn’t hurt that I was in a little pocket of people who were either much shorter than me or sitting down. Made me a visual target, and I loved it!)
I was not a Gokey fan during the season, but he sounded great last night and also made eye contact, so I had fun during his segment — stayed on my feet the whole time.
The people around me mostly stayed seated for Allison, but I stayed on my feet. Must respect Michael Slezak’s rocker! (And I love her. She was great.)
The place looked really full to me, and it was HOT in there. Felt sorry for Adam in his heavy leather coat. I think that’s part of why they seemed a little tired by the end.
My phone’s camera sucks. Too much of a wide angle. I was so close, but my photos look tiny and blurry. And my battery was running out, so there are only a few. They’re here, if anyone is interested:

Also had trouble getting any reception in there. Very frustrating!
So, if so many people were getting crappy phone reception but mine was great and I played the Triva game to win M&G Tickets???? Who won the tickets? I didn’t! Has anyone heard of anyone who has won those?
PattyH, GREAT job on those videos!!! I’m so jealous you had that great view. I don’t know what the hell was going on with reception there. I was trying to tweet desperately and could not get it to even register with my iPhone. The Idols sounded like they could tweet from backstage and if you could text from the floor, cool, but my phone was completely useless for almost the whole night.
I was using a Palm Pre. Only got internet reception for a total of maybe five minutes in the seats. Could get a weak signal out in the lobby near the windows. I was able to text my husband (who had to sit fourteen rows back), but we’re on the same bill/plan. Don’t know if that helped.
No bras last night, huh? I was waiting for someone to throw something, but they never did.
I’m glad that the original BFFs are hanging out and having fun. Go bromance!

Here is a video of some of the Idols signing autographs for fans after the concert in Ontario last night. At the very end of the video you can see Kris and Matt running around spraying silly string on the fans.

You SHOULD be proud, PattyH, that’s a FANTASTIC video – audio and visual!!! WhooooHooooo for YOU and Thank You!
If you come back (I’m late, I know) I’d love to know where you were and what kind of camera you used? But, regardless, thanks!!
I was in the side section closest to the stage, 4th row. It’s just a little Canon SureShot 750 still camera that also does video. I used it also for a Taylor Swift concert (no comments please, LOL!) and took a video of her with John Mayer and was impressed with the audio quality. So, decided to try to film WLL and Starlight. The memory runs out fast though (with video), so i only got those two songs and a partial of the Bowie Medley.
