Have not posted in forever but I am listening to a PBS special that has an Idol moment. Katherine McPhee is singing a spectacular duet with Andrea Bocelli with David Foster as the host of the show bringing together quite the group - Josh Groban, Michael Buble etc. So wishing it was Adam that sang Feeling Good rather than Buble but oh well.
Katherine looks gorgeous and sounds amazing. She is very underrated as an Idol success story with Prime Time TV shows Smash and the star of Scorpion since 2014. She has been in made for TV movies, released 5 albums and has a voice that is anything but cookie cutter - very rich and very lovely.

Fair exchange. Great for her career and his ego You mean it’s not true everlasting love? She is very talented, her personal life has been a bit messy though these last few years.

“Now, five years later, those songs are in my body much more, plus I’m so much more comfortable with Brian and Roger. “Now I’m at a point where it’s second nature, it’s so fun. It means getting onstage doesn’t have to be an exercise in thinking or trying too hard to craft it. It just comes out, which is the way it should be. It’s very natural. I think the audience feel that too. “The way I did it was to focus on the song itself as opposed to the recording of the song, which is how I first heard them the same as everyone else. “So the challenge to make it my own was to stop listening to the recordings and really listen to the words and the notes. “I had the band’s pianist record me the songs so I had something to rehearse to and I just started working on it.
“Just me and the piano tape, which allowed me to find my own phrasing, my own flourishes and so on. Emotionally too, it allowed me to find the story.“That’s why these songs are so powerful as they really connect with people, which Freddie was so good at. “So I sat down with his songs, with Brian’s, Roger’s and John’s (original bassist John Deacon) and tried to do them justice.” I had to quote from this interview. The whole interview is just wonderful, but the part in bold struck me particularly. What an amazing insight into his process of making Queen songs his own. I think cassie and other vocal experts might find it interesting, too. We often comment (and conjecture) how and what Adam does when he prepares a song. Well, he answered it now, at least in part.
