I've noticed them last year in Asia also already. He had them on a thing around his back and they were sticking out from under his leather vest causing it to stand a little out from his shoulders. I now see them on about every picture. Quite genius how the have incorporated them into his outfits. Guess Adam has to put his outfits through the tech team first before wearing them.

The technically impressive things about that E5 in UP are: 1. It's an E5! Sung in full voice. Outer space for a tenor. 2. I t is clear and ringing without sounding pushed. 3. It is sustained for 5 seconds. With consistent pitch and vibrato. 4. It occurs at the end of phrase with sustained D5 before it, the entire phrase lasting about 10 seconds. The most difficult note at the end of the phrase where the breath support could be shaky... but it is not. 5. Bonus points for the glissando leading up to the D5 and E5. It starts with a strong F3 and slides thru several "gear shifts" on the way up to the ceiling, yet the quality of the tone sounds the same, with no shifts heard. No breaks in the tone. If you want to play 10 seconds of Adam to show that his voice is highly trained, you can't do better than these. youtu.be/4PfFm9yHkwI?t=2m23s

What do you think, Cassie?

I wouldn't expect him to take regular structured lessons, but I would bet he still works with a vocal coach. Many trained singers do. Sometimes it is to work on a particular problem or challenge, sometimes to keep in shape and catch any bad habits before they get too big, sometimes to expand their style or try for a new sound. I know that Adam worked with a coach before his GNT gigs, and around the time of the Trespassing release. Given the challenges inherent in the Queen catalog it would make sense for him to consult with a coach before undertaking the tour. Adam's voice is continuing to mature, which is natural. But, as it matures it would be wise to work with an excellent coach to explore his more mature sound.

I remembered Adam working with a vocal coach before GNT as well and found this reference to working with Dave Stroud including a nice quote: www.backstage.com/advice-for-actors/singing/rescuing-voices/

I don't see Adam taking a GIANT BREATH before he starts with the F3 and does his gear shifts all the way to the ceiling!!

Just when I think Adam can't raise the bar any higher, he just takes it up another notch. Such control, such tone, such resonance. In the words of Brian and Roger, Adam is really one in a BILLION. A gift from God. How anyone can hear him sing and NOT become a fan is beyond me.
