Such a gorgeous man and what a performance! Is there anything he can’t do? The first few notes had me in tears.

girldrummer commented: It's interesting that in shows with multiple performers, Adam is often put at or near the end. Saving the best for last!
He looked and sounded perfect and he's getting good feedback from what I've read today. Sounds like the whole show was a huge success!
I have noticed that as well. It reminds me of a friend of Adam's from the Wicked days who talked about the group going to a karaoke bar after performances. No one wanted to go afater Adam because he was so good. Nothing's changed.

Regarding Adam's place in multi-artist lineups...sometimes he's toward the end, and sometimes he isn't. For Cyndi Lauper's A Home for the Holidays, I was a few minutes late tuning in, and he'd already performed. I know in at least one of those big online charity events - maybe You Can't Cancel Pride, but I'm not sure - he was also very close to the beginning. On the other hand, he was at the end of that Disney Sing-Along Christmas special, except for Andrea Bocelli. For Cyndi, I'll just go with the idea that she wanted to get the event off to a rousing start. I figured Adam's "Starman" would be something special, and it was. I love that Mike Garson's intro told us exactly how Adam came to be involved - from the AMAs, of all events. I can only imagine how "blown away" he would have been if Adam had been at the top of his game, vocally! Just proves that Adam's "not his best" is still miles above what many artists can do on their best days. I think it was girldrummer who mentioned in yesterday's thread that "Starman" really showed off Adam's voice. I dunno...as much as I love the song, which I do, I don't really see it as a song that, by its very nature, provides a vocal showcase for a singer. I can sing along with it easily enough, and I'm nobody's idea of a singer. I'm willing to bet most singers could do a perfectly acceptable job with it and sound just fine. To me, it's more a case that Adam is such a skilled singer with such a gorgeous voice that he can make pretty much any song sound extraordinary. It's a matter of what Adam was able to bring to it that made it so special from a vocal standpoint (same with Bowie, for that matter, although in a different way). Even when a song doesn't push the limits of what Adam is capable of, vocally, he can still be amazing - his artistry goes beyond what a song does or doesn't require of him.

Adam's performance of Starman was fantastic! Stunning. I think these muti-act performances, tributes and charity events and tv performances bring him a lot more attention for now. He brings a star quality no matter where he is in the lineup. These type of events reach more than just his fans tho I enjoyed and appreciated his solo on-line Grammy Museum concert. He is absolutely using his time wisely until he can get back out on the road. He reaches his fans and makes many new ones in the process. And Yes Adam, we miss you with your Queen family too and hope you are together again soon.
