9.27.12 Asia Pacific Promo, ROVE LA taping

To follow up on WWTLF (I can't get enough of that performance) here is what Angelina said about it in her recent blog. For those not interested in details, scroll is your friend.

We are already familiar with the beauty and power of Adam’s voice and his astonishing ability to nuance phrases in unexpected ways that further touch his audience to their core – seemingly individually – but what he did with Who Wants To Live Forever, was beyond anything I had ever experienced. He pulled my soul right out of my body and I do not mind telling you that I sobbed like a baby during the song.

The way in which Adam sang this song, transcends the commonsense interpretation of the lyrics and music, because it seemed – to me at least – as though he was singing about this reality and one beyond it simultaneously, taking the song to a place I’ve never experienced before. And I know I am not alone in this experience, because Brian alluded to it also in an interview, saying he was quite overwhelmed during rehearsals because he had never experienced anything like Adam singing this song.

This may be the perfect opportunity to say something about the long phrase he sang using only one breath, as I have received a number of questions about it. I feel sometimes people forget that Adam is actually a trained singer and that singing long phrases is something trained singers, in particular, do all the time – listen to any opera aria, oratorio or art song and you will hear it – so I am not sure it was a particularly long breath for Adam especially, but it was unusual in the sense that very few other pop/rock singers may be able to do it. What it proves, however, is that despite him going off and experimenting with more specifically pop sounding techniques as he does on his second album, Trespassing for example, he has not discarded his vocal technique at all – it is still there, intact, and he can call upon it whenever he feels like it.

He may have been showing off a little – and who can blame him with a vocal instrument and technique like that – but there is no doubt that by joining the phrase together like that, he enhanced the art of the song superbly. And as I have said previously, this song reminds so much of the structure of an operatic aria, so what he did was entirely appropriate.

I will talk more about this song and how Adam sang it in an upcoming Sound Bath programme about Adam’s voice.

On another note

101.9 UMIX IT

We all been voting..previously, BTIKM, then NCOE and now TP

what good does it do? this station has NEVER played either BTIKM or NCOE during the day.. they've have only played the song during the game?

SO my question, are we all being taken for ride?

The ONLY benefit I can think of, is maybe the spin is counted?

I don't know what to think..I'm discouraged by 101.9
