Yep.. though they probably know that he's in theater also in LA but Adam rarely get the lead role. So when they've heard Adam Lambert's name, some of these long time Broadway singers probably think he's just another produce of the reality tv shows... but now they witnessed it and heard that VOICE LIVE themselves. I wish Adam would have been in the first show, too! Look what all those guys missed. And some on twitter were commenting about it...wish they could have been at the last show, too! OH! Yeah!  Yeah.. I read some of the comments on the Broadway Bare FB that some guys was on the earlier show and they're so mad that they missed Adam's SSB. |

No, I am using this meaning: "In linguistics, intonation is variation of spoken pitch that is not used to distinguish words; instead it is used for a range of functions such as indicating the attitudes and emotions of the speaker, signalling the difference between statement and question, and between different types of question, focusing attention on important elements of the spoken message"The way he sings that line is different than everyone else. I noticed it in the Miramar one back in 2009 Got it, I think. And he does sing that line an octave higher than it is written, so that adds to the attention it gets. The poem is difficult and I never thought about the lyrics much until I started teaching it to school kids. That line is the 2nd most important, next the "the land of the free," which is the highest note of the song.
Trivia Time: The tune of SSB predates the poem. Check out this little history lesson and listen to the MP3.

I was just going to say, Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics, as a poem. The melody, an English drinking song, was matched to the words later. So, Francis Scott Key wasn't thinking of the melody line going up or down at that point in to poem. Holst is right, tho'. The point of the poem is that, despite the terrible odds against the US fort, the shelling that went on relentlessly throughout the night, each time the fire and bombs lit up the sky, the poet watching anxiously throughout the night saw that the flag still flew, meaning the fort had not been taken. Just like the US would not surrender or be defeated. Adam identifies that line as being the climax of the poem, and the song, and takes the melody up an octave to emphasize it. Masterful interpretation. |

Cassie - Your comment is number 1! And lots of likes, too - Just happened to notice as I went back to watch/listen a "few more times"...  .....your comment is on twitter! I took out the YT because it was messing the quote up! lol mmadamimadamm @mmadamimadamm … "The technique, the mastery and the pure balls it takes to sing like (cont) tl.gd/n_1rl0m5s "The technique, the mastery and the pure balls it takes to sing like this is breathtaking and mind-boggling. You know the guy who just completed a high-wire walk across the Grand Canyon? Well, this is the vocal equivalent." "Yup, singing without a safety net in front of a VERY TOUGH crowd (and watching their jaws drop to the floor)" How cool is that! |
