Vocals:
Clearly Adam is not listening to people like Cassie and me, who love to hear his head voice.
ETA: Or Graciejane above who seems to have typed pretty much the same thing at the same time as me, lol.If all the insiders are telling him 'falsetto hurrah', it's not really a wonder, is it?
At very short moments, when he wants to express something angsty, falsetto can be an effective tool, but embracing it sounds more like whole songs or whole stretches of song in falsetto. Probably to compete with the kindergarten that is otherwise reigning the charts, and that does not have any other tool in the arsenal but falsetto, to reach those high notes. For Adam, falsetto is instrument number 3 or 4, at least in my book. After
his gorgeous and angelic head voice,
his unique, exciting chest/head mix,
his powerful and awesome belting,
and after using his story telling voice, which is not necessarily as high as the other 3, but warm and inviting. And I love his deep chest voice too, but that is the other end of the spectrum, of course.
Adam's falsetto is fine, there is nothing wrong with it, it just is not anything special or unusual. He has a falsetto, just like Adam Levine has a falsetto, or Bieber, or Zayn Malik, or anyone else. Except that the others have none of all that other stuff that Adam has, in addition.
Oh well. f'd up music biz. Making people average instead of special.
Sorry, had to rant.
