Avicii Closing Electric Zoo 2013 with Lay Me Down
ft. Adam Lambert and Nile Rodgersyoutu.be/FdjkD3tm7CsUploaded by The Carrot Published on Aug 31, 2013 He ended with Levels, his first single off his new album Wake Me Up, and then finished an amazing set with Lay Me Down featuring the gorgeous and talented Adam Lambert and the legend Nile Rodgers. Lol I was just starting to walk towards the exit after Wake Me Up and I was like wAIT, I think this is the song with Adam. So obviously I had to go back and record it. As you can tell people were really enjoying it and dancing along! Great reaction.

Gorgeous! |

Lady Oz -- that is beautiful! I really like this look and the color on Adam -- although I find the collar of the shirt is a bit off. I hope we see this suit again (I am sure we will because almost everything in his closet reappears eventually.) but with a different shirt. Of course, he could have taken off his jacket for a photo or two.  |

I think that it would be good to also keep in mind that Idol does not show the mentoring sessions in their entirety. They choose bits and pieces, often losing some of the context. Here is a video interview after the show with HCJ in which he says that Idol did not show the part of the sessions where he tells each contestant to take everything he says with a grain of salt, that it is only his opinion. He also says that he was not saying that they could not sing licks, just that they needed to learn the song first. Also, I think HCJ's advice to Amber was spot on. I think she took it to heart and it showed in her performance of Funny Valentine, which was one of her best performances of the season. It may have been hard advice to hear at the time, but it will make her a much better singer! But on the choice of the Stormy Weather version, I too would have liked to see Kree sing the more bluesy version. ETA - Also, since Idol does not show the whole mentoring session, we do not know if HCJ did or did not explain the meaning of the song to Amber. It would not surprise me if Idol showed the pieces of the session what would cause the most talk, whether good or bad. Danceygeorgia, I agree with you. I watch all of Harry's mentoring clips yesterday and also watched the same interview you posted. I understood what he was telling the singers without watching the interview. I'm in the minority here for sure, but I don't see what was harsh or too tough about his mentoring. Maybe it's because I'm a musician who has been mentored and now mentors. I'm guessing that Danceygeorgia has also had this style of coaching as a dancer. Regarding Amber and Funny Valentine, he was spot on in guiding her on the lyrics. When she was saying what they would about--she was wrong. She is young and needed help. When Harry kept asking her about meanings, she couldn't answer. Asking questions of a student is a top notch method of getting them to think and then remembering better what they have learned. His coaching style doesn't even come close to many sports coaches who yell--which is considered normal for athletics. Yep, from 2 out of 3 of my top level ballroom instructors. One grew up in his parents ballroom dance studio in Russia. (This is the one who has been best friends with Pasha from season 3 of SYTYCD since they were teenagers.) He tells me that when he came to the U.S. that he had to learn to tell American clients 2 positive things about their dancing before he could tell them 1 negative thing. That this is expected in the U.S. and many clients get upset if you just give them the negative feedback. But, he says that in Russia if you spend time telling dance clients the positive things about their dancing, they think that you are wasting their time and money, because they are paying to have their dancing improved rather than to have their self esteem stroked. The second instructor also grew up in his mother's dance studio in the U.S. And he played High School football and other sports where the coaching was mostly about correcting what they were doing wrong. And you will notice that in the interview HCJ says that what he tells the AI contestants is very mild compared to the mentoring that he got when he was young. This does not mean that you have to yell at people or insult them by telling them that they are stupid or some such thing. But telling them in a very matter of fact way what they are doing wrong and how to improve it is not considered to be mean in most serious sports training. It is what is needed if you want to be able to compete on a world class level. And Adam has talked about how you have to develop a thick skin to be able to survive in the music and/or theater business. And that one of the reasons that he had an easier time than some of the other AI contestants was because he was used to doing auditions, listening to critiques, and learning from them. Just look at how much he learned from Kara's criticism during Hollywood week and how quickly he put it into practice. Personally, I don't think HCJ's mentoring of Amber was mean or demeaning at all. But I have to wonder if Amber is too sensitive to make it in the music business. |

A singer, instrumentalist or actor takes classes, pays for a teacher/mentor/coach in order to improve, not to have their ego stroked. A performer who doesn't take feedback well and doesn't improve from it soon finds herself out of a job, back to waiting tables. |

There was an interview with Leila where she talked about Alex Urban the guy who ran MET theater group that Adam and Neil were in and she talked about how hard on the kids she thought he was being but that Adam and Neil both assured her that they needed that to learn and get better. |
