Was the band really playing or was just for show? I wasn't really paying attention to the band. But, at one point I did notice that the bass player seemed to be strumming the strings, like a rhythm guitar. And, that is not how a bass is played. One does not play chords on multiple strings on a bass. So, if that brief glance was accurate, nope, they weren't actually playiung.

I love that comment that Adam is a showoff as a singer,,perfect and by someone that knows and thank you nic42 for mentioning Pick U Up it is one of my favorites I agree, he is a show-off. Totally. Probably has been since he was a tot and sang that high note and held it forever in Fiddler on the Roof, and got his first huge audience reaction. CTMBTM is gorgeously, insanely over the top, and all for show. I have heard many singers perform that song, and none milk that note and phrase like Adam did, at the young age 22. I also notice breathing since I became enamored with Adam. In particular, I notice when a singer takes a breath; if it is at the end of a phrase, extended past the natural end of the phrase for effect, or in the middle of a phrase or even the middle of a word, because the singer has run out of breath. Adam breathes for interpretation as well as support. It's one of the things I love about him as an artist. When Chynna sang Amazing Grace, the thing I disliked about the performance was her phrasing. She took frequent breaths without regard to the meaning of the phrase. It is a tough song to sing BECAUSE the phrases are so long. Ideally, I would phrase it as Amazing grace! / How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me/ If I needed an additional breath, I think I would sing "how sweet the sound that saved/ a wretch like me" By singing thru the musical phrase that ends with "sound" and breathing after "saved" it adds emphasis to the wondrous act of being SAVED. Many people (Chynna included), tho' sing, "Amazing grace/ how sweet/ the sound/ that saved/ a wretch/ like me" Broken up like that, the meaning behind the lyrics is lost. Adam THINKS about where he wants to take a breath. He is not perfect. Occasionally, I will hear him break up a phrase, not for meaning, but for lack of breath to sustain the entire phrase. It always surprises me. He did it a couple of times during EITN. The first few times he sings "danger by day but you're evil in the night" in one breath. Perfect. Later in the song, he sings "danger by/ day but you're evil in the night." Why? A bit tired? Distracted? For whatever reason, he must have figured he didn't have enough breath to sing the entire phrase. But, he does an interesting breath pattern. The musical phrase break would be after "day". Instead, he sneaks the breath BEFORE "day" so that he can sustain the rest of the phrase in a connected way. Always thinking.
Hi Cassie, since you notice his breathing, I thought that I heard him taking a breath where he usually doesn't in "Don't Stop Me Now"....I can't remember which show...it was "call me/ Mr. Fahrenheit"...I noticed it immediately since he usually sings it in one breath. To make sure I wasn't imagining things, I played other recordings and I definitely don't hear the the pause. Just wondering if you or anyone else had noticed it also during this last tour.
