While this looks like a new posting, it seems to be rather old. If you look at comments below, some are over 2 years old. If it is true, what it says there, then the numbers refer to 2013/14, well before TOH album, and who knows whether they were right then. This does not look like a very accurate listing anyways, more a click-bait kind of thing. By the way, the link only works for me, if I take the ' /16 ' off from the end, for some reason the backwards scroll does not want to work, maybe somebody else had the same issue and can use the hint to do that. Kind of funny that there are still people out there fighting over whether Adam is good, how good he is, and whether album/record sales are the way to measure that, and whether that makes one artist more successful than the next. In 2009 and 2010, this was important. Lots of peeps had written Adam off and it was important to stand up for him wherever it came up. But today, if somebody wants to tell me how much better P2 is because of 'home' or how Scotty is moving mountains in the world of country music, then I don't really find that worth my time to argue with them. Adam has his dimmers, his music career, a ongoing recording contract with an album on the way, is working with whoever he wants to work with, and as a side job is the frontman of a tiny little group called Queen. His streaming numbers are impressive, his BBC special w/ Queen has finally opened up the UK door for him, the whole X-factor success has enriched that further. He has a modeling contract, he has dabbled in film and he is traveling the world doing shows. I think I am good, you go ahead with P2 or whoever. The reality is, the majority of people are not paying attention, and when someone is off your own radar, then it is easy to assume that they don't have anything going on. People who do not follow Adam may have no idea how much has happened. And some others are just trolls who still fight battles from yesteryear. Adam sure does not seem to care, and lives his life as he sees fit, and as long as he can do that, all is well, imho. ETA: page 3 - yeah

Last night I was watching the iHeart Radio Festival that I recorded from last week. Idina Menzel was introducing Tears for Fears and mentioned artists who had covered "Mad World" -- Adam Lambert being the first name mentioned! It's always good to be first on a list on a major network at prime time! I don't know if anyone mentioned it on the forum before. I'm usually so up-to-date and know things before they even happen here on the West Coast, so it was a pleasant surprise! In fact, it was the best part of the whole show! lol
btw Do we know if is any connection between Idina and Adam?

Craazyforadam, Just saw your post. Maybe some of those people who don't follow Adam might just look him up after hearing his name mentioned! I think every little bit helps!

The pitch perception test I shared yesterday got me to thinking.l I remember discussion in the past where I would state that Adam was off-pitch on a note, and others would vehemently disagree. The test showed me that it turns out I am more sensitive to pitch variation than 99% of folks. There are similar tests to measure how small a difference in loudness level you can perceive. And tests that determine how accurate you are in recalling musical phrases.
Which leads me to wonder about what other people hear when they hear Adam's voice? If there is such variation in the human perception of sound do others hear what I hear in Adam's voice? Can they hear the rich harmonics and overtones? Can they hear the depth of quality? Perhaps those who complain that Adam screams are actually perceiving a different sound than I do. Perhaps those who think Adam is not a good singer are missing the unique, wonderful frequencies and subtle differences I hear. Maybe they are not knocking him because he is left of center, or gay, or from a singing game show, but just don't hear anything special when they hear him sing. And maybe they are as perplexed by my fixation on Adam's voice as I am with their lack of appreciation.
I hypothesize that Adam's die-hard fans may have a more sensitive, more finely tuned ear than the folks who don't like his sound. I bet that, if the members of this forum took that pitch perception test, for example, most would score higher than the average. We have exceptional hearing and are blessed to be able to hear/feel the wonder of his voice.
What do y'all think?

Don't know if that makes me better at hearing specific sounds or tones but I also took a vision test on line and it says I have Hawk vision. So when I look at Adam he probably feels it!

Can it be difficult to listen to "perfection" when you are use to the dross that is the normal on radio? How do you compute?
