At about 50 seconds in Mark calls him a genius…come on a genius are you fucking kidding me…he spun records plus if he was a genius would he have really mixed the the wrong drugs together and overdosed….sounds more like a moron to me

Do people not understand what a moment of SILENCE is called? That means no screaming or whooping. I love that Blink did this, it's extremely respectful and my heart goes out to Adam and his friends and family. It's so sad.

awww how sweet!! jeez do people not seriously understand what "moment of silence" means!!!! RIP DJ AM
rzez212 says – reply to this

23

Very touching.
but there is always some moron who cannot grasp the concept of what a "moment of silence" means. yes, its a concert and you're suppose to jump and holler and whatnot- but when someone asks for a moment of silence to remember the deceased, shut the fuck up.
R.I.P. Am.

Why give a moment of silence for a COWARD who disrespected his friends and family by ending his life? If anything, I feel pity.

31

people who can't shut their mouths for 2 seconds! seriously! what was your intention? you thought you'd gain respect/shout out from the band? disgusting. Another sign of the decline of the American society (not just USA but North American)

im sick of all the death.
can the world please end now.

perezhilton.com treated michael jackson like shit before he died now you're being kind.
what fucking use is it now?
i hope you've learned your lesson to never treat another human being like that again because they do have hearts & they can one day unexpectedly die and you fuckers WILL feel bad, because these celebrities haven't done ANYTHING to you.
except WILL I AM. but thats a different story HAHA!

fuck him, suicide is the coward's way out and overdose is the idiot's way out
-
which of these two losers should this spoiled brat be remembered as?
-
you all live in a nation where young, brave soldiers are dying everyday in Afghanistan, where are the tributes to those guys? i guess being a shitty, pop music DJ is more important to Americans than those fighting for your nation

I was there. It was depressing. Too bad the audience was full of douchebags.
ohhmeghanlynn says – reply to this

58

i was at that show last night
and watching this is even more heartbreaking the second time
the entire night all three of them were in tears and at the end travis got up and left before the song was completely finished
they were all devastated and i will forever remember the show because they were strong enough to play when they really didn't want to
thanks mark tom and travis
emilyftw says – reply to this

59

you can tell Tom is crying too while he sings the song. It must have been so hard for them to play the night they found out. Poor guys.

All their songs sound like someone crying, they're emo cutters singing songs for emo cutters. Geeesh, are you serious with this DJ AM crap…who the hell was he aside from the douche that dated Nicole Richie when she was all scary skinny?

DJ AM go buh-byeeeeeee! lol he was almost a crispy duck pancake and now he is just another dead loser… should've died in the plane crash, at least that was a DRAMA… and boy did he love to flap around in drama mode… he sucked cock too, YES people, he was a raging homo and he spread disease!

Re: alfabravo – You're a fucking shithead. They are paying tribute to their FRIEND. It's not like The President is paying tribute and making a DJ AM day of mourning. If you lose on of your friends (Which i doubt you even have) I hope some jackass tells you "Fuck him he was a loser"

Re: Long Dong Connery – How about not using the comments section as your personal online motel room? Have you no email, cell phone, land line, home address (you know, those numbers painted on the side of your trailer) from whence you can communicate with said young lady?

She probably left a great big steamer on your desk. Enjoy!

Gee, Why is it that whenever people go to a concert and during moments which are supposed to be quiet (Like that moment of silence for their friend) there are always ADD idiots blurting out shit and screaming. Have a little respect.

Re: PEREZmakesME-WET – Class. Get some. Life must be pretty hard when your that negative and classless to post something like that on a forum. Negativity towards others stems your own insecurities.
Irish22 says – reply to this

81

Re: alfabravo – No matter how the death occurs, every life that ends is sad for someone, and no life matters more then any other. It's hard for people to personalize with a soldiers death besides the people that know them. People may mourn for them when they see them in the paper, on the news or see their families speak out. For a celebrity they are in a spot light and known by millions of people therefore millions of people may mourn their death. Just as I wouldn't expect millions to mourn my death, sadly neither should you expect that of a soldier. Espeically when the war is controversial.

alyssa1110 says – reply to this

84

i was there last night. it was really sad. no one repected the moment of silence.. which was pretty awful… but to answer everyones question.. yeah they were all crying. mark was basically the only one able to speak which is why he did. they were all really messed up. it seemed like tom and travis were on something. travis didnt look at the crowd once.. he was just really focused, everyone i was with noticed and we all felt really bad. me and my friends were drunk but were pretty positive i heard tom tell everyone he was on acid. if anyone else did write it.. i dont wanna start rumors. but reguardless of if he was on anything he seemed really shaken up. he was mixing up lyrics and mark had to step in and sing a lot of parts that were toms. no one should be complaining about the show bc for what they are all going through the show they gave us was amazing and i honestly didnt expect it to even go on. they tried their best to be strong for theyre fans and i hope everyone is strong for them in return =/

Re: Irish22 – Nicely said. My sister is in the Army, if the worst were to happen i know only a few would care. I wouldn't be screaming "Why honer a dead "celeb" and not a soldier. Because i know how the fucking world works. Fallen soldiers get remembered in Memorial Day and Veterans Day. It sucks that soldiers have lost their lives over a pointless unnecessary war and it even sucks more that pretty much everyone in the country has forgotten those who are still fighting it, but that's how this society is. Tragedy occurs and they move and keep living their lives like nothing ever happen after a certain amount of time.
ifyouseekkatie says – reply to this

91

I still wonder why no one has made the coorelation between his last tweet and the pseudo-sober life he was living. It was almost like he was thumbing his nose at all the people who believed in him. He was trying to come off as a sober recovering addict, even getting his own intervention show….. ahah but "everything in AM's life aint always what it seems". Sure, a broken heart sucks ass but it's not like he's the first one who had ever experienced one. Sad that he didn't really ever have his big Oprah moment as to why his life was spared in the plane crash. People that truly have those moments are beating down the door everyday to get outside to smell the roses. Yes, it is sad…it's sad when anyone dies…and even sadder when someone dies that had sooo much lying in wait.

Do people not understand what a moment of SILENCE is called? No, to them its called oooo look, some people are going to be silent so i'll be heard if i scream.
They sounded like they were crying even as they sang. Rest in Peace Adam, you had alot of friends you left behind who are lost without you.

Madonna Merges Express Yourself & Born This Way! MDNA Rehearsal Video HERE!

Prepare to be amazed!

We all thought it, but Madonna did it!

Some sneaky sis (or bro!) took a little behind-the-scenes video of Madonna's MDNA tour rehearsal in Tel Aviv this weekend and has shared some incredible footage!

Part of Madge's setlist is her iconic homage to self-love, Express Yourself, but in her 2012 version, she is spicing it up by mashing it with Lady GaGa's similar anthem, Born This Way.

Yeah, you're not going to want to miss this!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to hear Madonna sing BOTH Express Yourself and Born This Way!

We're. In. AWE!!!
