8.24.12 Adam on Sunrise TV Recap, more news

I responded to this late last night and fell asleep just before hitting send, lol. It's on the other thread too, but I'll copy it here. Pardon the typos and long-windedness. I can't edit it on my phone but will fix it when I get to a laptop.

Hmm is it just me.. I'm liking the sound quality of the vids taken by the audience a little better than this one from take40. By sound quality, I mean how his voice sounds.. not sure how to describe the difference.. maybe a bit smoother or something in the audience vids, while the take40 one is clearer, but raspier or something.. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?



I know what you mean. I read other posts saying they like the audience made vid cuz other was too slick with the cuts and the spontaneity of the crowd is lost, and so forth. I love both but I think I prefer the more polished one. You can hear his voice much much more clearly and isolated from the audience singing. He DOES sound raspy. I think he was putting little Marley flavor as homage to him. I thought it sounded cool. The man's versality astounds me. He can sing anything. Bob Marley's chararistic rasp was probably helped by the ganja (mon), but I think it gives his voice such expressiveness. And AL's version was happy and expressive as well. What a lovely song.

I also love hearing a second male voice doing harmony with him. Adam's ability to harmonize is something that doesn't get discussed much, but I think he does it soooo beautifully and with his range he can sing so many parts. Would like to hear even more of that male-male collab. Or three part harmony would be cool. He's often singing all the parts on his songs on his studio tracks and even to himself live to a back-up track. Hopefully the new "more organic" Adam will be doing this more often instead of relying on trendy producer wizardry. I'm sensing a change in pop music to that anyway. (discovered by actually not hating EVERY SONG anymore on the pop radio station my daughter insists we play in the car.)

Btw, I actually fell asleep writing this last night! Pathetic. I'm sure I'm posted to a dead but what the heck.

Another of my baseless theories hits the dust, and I rather liked that one.

Running is almost always on fans' favorite list so it would have been nice to have it on standard. I wonder if anyone thinks it could have been a single. I never seem to be able to tell what is single material.

I admit I feel a little offended at the speculation that Adam had Botox or nose job (I read something about that too). Never in my mind had I thought that Adam wanted to make such kind of change. I think the only concern he has about his body is his acne skin, and if he doesn't do any special surgery about it, I don't think he cares much about other parts. The fact is I still see wrinkles here and there and sometimes he looks older, so it all depends on the lighting, the facial expression that give him different looks. It's a waste of time to read too much into this.

But I've got to write this because i think Adam has a special magic that will keep him look younger for a long time. It's his beautiful smile. It erases all the imperfections if he has any.

After the events of last week, I'm on team: "REEALLLY thinking he's got this, but I don't want to say it out loud and jinx it'!

I understand what you are saying and I like your interpretation much better than the one from the interviewer!

The person who interviewed Adam is a member of ATOP and I brought over her exact words in reference to the quote above from Adam. I was just offering it up as a consideration, but maybe she didn't hear what others are hearing??? IDK?

IF I COULD HEAR THE FREAKIN' INTERVIEW... >:(
I wish I could download it and listen for myself, but the DL site started emptying Trojan files on my computer.
