Adam = 5 octave range. And he knows how to use it. This alone captures me as a super fan. Add in super sexy while singing (even when you can't see what he's doing, cuz you DL'd the mp3, but OMG, that VOICE!), and a flair for surprise and the recipe is pretty perfect. I don't know the technical stuff, but I also find for me at least, that there is a quality in Adam's voice that is the most addictive thing in the world to me. It causes the lightest, brightest feeling in my body and I really cannot get enough of it. LIVE, that voice is totally captivating. Plus, the man knows how to work a room and put on a show. Seeing him live 6 times, I know the first was not a fluke. He does it every single time. I'm pretty sure his aura can light up a room and must be about 100 feet in diameter. The Voice. New music is coming. More power to the powers that be and the artiste who will bring it to us. Please, let it be soon. ETA: cassie!! you have words for what I'm feeling!! and no wonder I love his nose.... I respectfully disagree about him having a 5 octave range ....I have been fascinated by his range from early days, and have tested out his range myself on more than one ocassion. At best I have heard him cover just under 3 octaves....which is totally incredible, especially with the quality of the notes at the outer end of his range. Just saying what I have heard myself Cassie may agree or disagree - will be interested in your opinion! Everything else you have said, however, I am in total agreement!!!

Q3 asked: Cassie - I LOVE reading your posts...and keep meaning to add comments to your vocal masterclass thread...will do one of these days! I am a musician with some singing training (I can hold a tune and harmony, however I consider myself to have a very average voice!) I was from day one, and continue to be totally blown away by Adam's voice.... I posted on my FB page early in 2009 that he was a quite possibly the best singer I have ever heard....and I continue to be dumbfounded by his incredible vocal talent. Your thoughts on the harmonics and our response to his voice as a result is something I have often wondered about. I do believe what you say has real merit!

nzstiffy Stephanie Huge Billboard of Adam in Auckland, New Zealand!!!!! twitpic.com/62o6zbMight just have to go for a drive to see this in person!!! (Is about 40 mins drive from where I live) This is part of the radio station's campaign...they've had this ad in many major NZ papers and magazines.... other artists I've seen featured are only Katy Perry and Taylor Swift (there may have been others I've missed) Still all very impressive, especially when no new music to promote! This station plays "hits from the 80's 90's and today" so they play plenty of top40 music, but I would call them an Adult Contemporary station rather than top 40. I'm such a proud kiwi fan!! :D

Posting again for those who missed it - really hope ATopians can help out with this! Thanks! For those on twitter, please follow @trendingadam !!!
The idea is to have a central home to co-ordinate what, when and suggestions of how to trend anything in relation to Adam!
After #outlawsoflove didn't manage to trend the other day, we thought it may have been due to too many people trying to trend different things....There is some discussion about trending #OutlawsofLove tonight 10pm EST to allow for different time zones....

I just read your post, amw, and it saddens me. It saddens me that you feel that you have to be so careful in your interactions with your wife while you are in public. I am not challenging your decisions, I am just stating that I think it is sad that that is what you have to do. My husband's sister is a lesbian and has been with her partner for just over 10 years. I have known them for six years and have seen them touch each other three times. You would think they are just roommates just to look at their interactions. At my daughter's birthday party in May, the three of us got talking about how my husband and his sister are alike. I was teasing her partner about feeling her pain for living with the quirks that our spouses share. The response I got was so warm and light, they dropped their guard and for held hands while talking to me for a few minutes. I want them to understand that I stand behind their love and life fully. Their love is real and they don't have to be afraid of me. To me, the saddest line in OOL is "Nowhere to grow old". All of us need someone to grow old with, to share the joys and sorrows and challenges life brings. Love is love. Thanks for sharing your life with us wiga and amw. I don't feel sad. I feel ANGRY for the society we built. And we must never give up. We MUST change the society. Each and everyone of us, baby steps. Equality. Thanks for sharing your story. It is a sad reflection on society, isn't it? I'm glad your sister-in-law is becoming more comfortable and relaxed enough to show affection with her partner. What does this say about our society??!! The top trending topic Worldwide on twitter today.... #reasonstobeatyourgirlfriend
WTF???!!! Seriously???!!! and they blocked #OutlawsofLove from trending worldwide???!!! (I am convinced they did...check out the trends map....how did it NOT trend?)

#OutlawsofLove has been trending at #2 in NZ for quite some time now, and EVERY other trending topic in NZ is related to our National sport, Rugby which is a HUGE obsession here, especially with NZ hosting the world cup in a couple of months.... so this is a BIG DEAL!!! ;D But my point is, how in the hell did this NOT trend worldwide today??!!! >:( >:(

thank you Marie You're welcome! I seriously think I have to change the font and print them on some nice paper to keep somewhere special. I love these lyrics. To think that Adam wrote this and it's the first time we got a preview of something on his album is clenching at my heart. I did this yesterday:
