8.12.13 AFTEE news, Avicii TRUE Reveal, Bakers' Celebration

Re: Tenor's singing: Thanks for the feedback. I, in no way meant to say anything negative about these singers, they are great tenors and we are talking different genres, different ages, etc. all valid points.
My point was not to discredit anybody, my point is how differently Adam's voice naturally sits, in comparison to these trained tenor voices. The fact, where the voice sits does not by itself mean anything, certainly does not tell us about how well a note is sung, but it will register differently with the listener. That first octave jump does sound like a high note, when coming from that first tenor. When Adam sings an E4, it does not sound high. It sounds as comfortable as when a female sings E4. No strain whatsoever. Comb's A4 later in the song is beautifully sung, there is not doubt, and yes he is an old man. But when Adam is asked to sing an A4, he does so so naturally, that nobody would even assume that note to be high. That can be the good news or the bad news, depending how you look at it.

Adam is like the 7.5 foot basketball player, who does not have to do more than reach up a little with the hand to reach the basket. Like in basketball, while a tall player has an edge, the overall agility, accuracy, etc...and all the other skills necessary will determine, whether that player is any good on the court. Same is true for singing, range is only one thing. We all know that Adam is trained and capable to sing well too, so he has the whole package. And of course these tenors do too.

I just thought it was amazing to see how different Adam's natural abilities are, when you compare it to other tenor voices.

And, regarding the octaves, yup, I also double checked a few times, because I did not trust my ears either. But, either I am totally crazy, or the notes are the way I wrote. It sounded differently to me too.

Upon close and detailed inspection of the freakishly gigantic adam-pictures of Adam's CM getup, I have come to the priceless and very relevant conclusion that the position of the knot on his laces indicates that Adam ties his shoelaces by crossing his legs while sitting down, or more precisely, by bendind his leg in the knee and then positioning his ankle on the opposite thigh. And then tying his laces. As opposed to bending in the hips, or squating, of course.

Everyone who thinks I should commit a ritual harakiri, you've got a thumbs up from me:)

~ he has turned into a vampire of Twilight variety so he's hiding red  eyes and sparkly skin

~ he keeps stuffing himself with kale although it gives him horrible allergies... he just can't help himself

~ he's stabbed himself in the eye purposely so that it would change colour as his little masochistic homage to Bowie. Once the transformation is complete, he'll drop the shades and shave. They will be one.

~ he is being a good bro and he's doing it out of solidarity with Neil, who's joined the Kozaks and is sporting a stupendous beard these days; but Adam wouldn't be Adam if he didn't glam it up a little with the shades. 

~ he heard it through the grapevine that he's been seriously considered for a role in the Blues Brothers sequel (hence the shades) , of the gay variety ( hence the... you know:).







Still not tomorrow in the USA, so...
