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”…

Don’t Stop Believing
Ain’t No Sunshine
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.
Your English is fine. Post anytime.
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?
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?
