There was a screen cap of "glowing-eye-Adam" from beginning of NCOE, can someone please repost here? Thanks in advance! :-) I'm gonna send it to my sister-in-law who's a classically trained Opera singer and is totally in love with his eyes, and his voice!!
Forgot to mention that I moved to the back right before Adam came out. We were literally being crushed in the area I was in and I couldn't even move my arms. And I wanted to dance my ass off! Which I did! Anyway, the point of this post is to say, I got a real surprise when I moved. 1st) I saw where the family all was. and 2nd) The back was LOADED WITH YOUNG GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Neil's girlfriend, btw, is adorable. She danced her ass off for every single song. She was trying to get Neil to dance too, but he was being much more conservative. She was dancing like she was in a club after several shots!)
here it is, she also basically "dittoed" NoAngel's post that is on the Kimmel thread.
Gonna take you to the top, to the brink of what you believe

San Francisco area people please don't scroll this post!
Remember Adam's interview with Fernando and Greg on the San Francisco radio station KMVQ-FM (Top 40/Rhythmic leaning)? And they said one of their interviewers LOVED Adam and wanted to marry him and Adam said yes?
Yesterday Jackie in Hollywood pimped Never Close Our Eyes on twitter and asked that people request it at her station.

That's the one! Thanks!!! Oh, can someone also recommend best possible sound quality of "naked love" and "broken english"? I'd like to send them to her for her listening pleasure as well. thx.
Patience, patience young atopper, and you will be rewarded...
ooooh! you just seamlessly merged my avi with Atop!!! Love you! Well its not reall a young one, but rather a mature one with a headache (left "hand" to the head) but it fits great anyway ... I'm a disciple for all things Adam
3 years ago I was very interested in Adam's vocal range. But in the intervening years I have learned from listening to Adam that the frequency of the notes is not that important. What makes Adam's voice so different and so powerful to me goes beyond vocal range -- it is the way he uses his voice to express emotion -- and how quickly he can transition through a range of emotions.
Totally agree with you. I have often wondered why there is such an emphasis on his range. Yes, it is remarkable, but it is by far, not the most incredible thing about his voice. It is his masterful interpretation, his ability to shape the sound of his voice and color it so many different ways, his breath control that supports the long, lyrical phrases, the belts, and the tender caresses, the purity and clarity of his tone.... if he had only a two octave range but had all those other characteristics in his singing I would be just as blown away.

I love that gif with picture-frame-Adam, is there vid to go with it/context? I slept all through the excitement last night and am left with the - very yummy - leftovers. Trying to find my way through it all and enjoying the hell out of it (don't tell my boss I spent the day sneaking peeks ;-))
Oh my, with what he gave us last night ... imagine the next months ... RL go find someone else to bother!!! LOL

Spoken less eloquently... you don't have to strain your voice or grunt out a tune to demonstrate depth and emotion.
Sauli's closed body language is a little interesting. I wonder if it is going to take him a little time to get used to Adam's screaming fans? (yes, I know he is a celeb in Finland)

I've listened Broken English now enought times to argue, that after turning to the band first time, Adam starts singin too early. .....
twitter: @coconutgrove0 Runnin: when I don't follow my heart, i get dark. vicious cycle that only I can pull myself out of. We all have the power to affect change.
Yup. I do agree. Plus, their voices sound different from Adam's so that, as opposed to the backing vocal tracks from GNT, Adam's voice can be heard distinctly in front of theirs. I like it!
Just to say, there was indeed a vocal backing track, on Broken English.
And re: his range, I've noticed that on Trespassing there seems to be a lot less of the big "glory" notes but the music and the voice just sound so much better!

blueberry: A tech question. When I post, I'm stuck in BB Code, can't get back to Preview. Any ideas? I have Preview as default in my profile, but that doesn't help.

Q3: blueberry. there should be a two labels on tabs at the bottom of the REPLY box -- one labeled Preview and one labeled BBCode. Can you see these or are they gone?
May 19, 2013 2:08:40 GMT -5
blueberry: Q3, I can still see the labels, but when I click on the Preview label, nothing happens. And every time I start a new post, it automatically takes me to BB Code. Otherwise it doesn't matter, but posting pictures would be easier in Preview (copy+paste).
