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? Hi Cassie, I have been wanting to ask you the same question you are asking about other peoples' negative perception of Adam's voice. In yesterday's thread you said Adam "sings on pitch consistently and reliably". But besides comments on YouTube that he screams, has goat vibrato, sings with no emotion, the ones that bother me the most are the ones that insist Adam is always flat. One is a Marc Martel fan who goes on every QAL video and says how horrible a singer he is and how he is always flat or off-key. She even said he was hollering on the Isle of Wight WWTLF. How anyone can find fault with that performance I will never know. I also remember someone who claimed to be a singer with perfect pitch who said that Adam was very pitchy during "Tracks of My Tears". I remember some other comments from someone else (I think he was a singer too) who sang that said he was pitchy during "A Change Is Gonna Come". I don't hear anything pitchy in either of those but I not a singer or musician. Could people with perfect pitch (or some other hearing characteristic) be hearing something that 99% of the population is not? To address your different points. As to the Martel fan who thinks Adam is always off-key.... I suspect a little fan bias there. I have listened to Martel on several live videos, and his pitch is not horrible, but it is a bit shaky at times. It sounds like he is not supporting his tone or pitch with adequate or proper breath control. Now, if Martel sounded spot on to my ears, I might consider that the fan who hears Adam as off-key might be more sensitive to pitch than me.... scoring at 99.9% where I only score at 99.1%. Adam might actually be off by that tiny bit that I cannot discern. But, since Martel definitely misses the mark at times when I listen, I don't consider the fan's critique genuine. As to Adam hollering on WWTLF, Martel's voice is more brittle and less warm and round than Adam's. It is that brittle lack of lower harmonic overtones that makes a voice sound like screaming more than singing. If the listener's ear cannot discern the harmonic overtones clearly, strongly or accurately, perhaps they cannot appreciate the fullness of Adam's high register? I remember the singer with perfect pitch who claimed he was pitchy in TOMT and ACIGC. It is POSSIBLE that he has such fine pitch perception that he COULD hear a pitch variance that you and I do not. My question is if ADAM is off-pitch, what about everyone else? Where could the critic find someone with a more finely tune pitch than Adam? There is also the question of when is a note off-key? What is the acceptable tolerance? Vibratos actually are oscillating changes in pitch frequency.... just slight, but definitely there. So, when a singer employs vibrato, is he singing off-key? No. Most ears say the variation is not significant, and actually adds depth to the sound. One of the problems with auto-tune is that it can eliminate the small variations in the vibrato, changing it to a straight tone without warmth. Sometimes the tone is so "perfect" in pitch it sounds unnatural or synthetic... which it is. The anatomy of the ear mechanism is incredibly complex, and I suspect no two people hear sound exactly the same way because the mechanical and nerve components respond slightly differently. Then you add to that the background and musical styles each person has grown up with and listened to for years and what is divine to one person's ear, mind and heart is "meh" or even "yuck" to another's. As for me..... Adam is as close to divine as I have heard in a male voice.

I always suspected that I was lousy at pitch perception and the test proved that! I'll have to rely on you pitch-sensitive types to let me know that Adam is pitch perfect. I guess it was something else that attracted me to Adam!
