9.25.13 QAL from iHRMF Played on Radio in NYC

I think the Winstar said that there will be VIP seats for sale on ticketmaster, without buying the package.  The thing that makes the package so expensive is that the room for NYE is close to $400 alone.  The package is a good deal if you are already staying there, purchasing 2 tickets AND want the entry to MIST (their nightclub where they will have an after concert NY party apparently) and a poster (not signed).

I tend to think the available seats MIGHT be better for the pkg. purchasers but they do say that VIP seats will be available by themselves at 10 am central on TM - be quick and grab em!

All this discussion on when, how, where, who, how clean Adam had hetero sex encounters is making me feel uneasy. Yes, I know, I know, scroll is your friend.

Count me among those who has no desire to see Adam learn to play an instrument. If he wants to, fine. But I doubt he will pursue that. He already has a voice that is the equivalent to a Stradivarius violin. The finest in the world. For more than two thirds of his life he has been dedicated to learning how to use that instrument with the greatest skill, artistry, and flexibility. He has doubtless put in tens of thousands of hours to mastering it. (I remember reading a study somewhere about it taking roughly 10,000 hours to master a skill at the top level, be it playing an instrument or executing dives like an Olympic champion.) I remember having this discussion with Angelina once, and she commented "When would I ever have the time to practice and master an instrument? I spend all my time with my VOCAL instrument." 

Adam can collaborate with some of the best instrumentalists in the world. They can then collaborate with one of the best singers in the world. Win. Win. I play piano as well as sing. I enjoy both, but singing touches me very deeply and personally and feels so wonderful. I would choose to sing over playing piano any day of the week. I would much prefer to work with a talented accompanist on the keys so that I can focus on the vocal interpretation. With a voice like Adam's, I would think that would be his preference also. Focus on what he does best, and find others to do what they do best. 

As to writing songs? I don't need for him to compose or write lyrics either. There are many talented composers and lyricists out there. There are thousands of incredible songs already written. There will never be a shortage of material for Adam to sing. But, how many singers today can perform a song like Adam does? Technically, artistically, emotionally, dramatically? I want Adam to do what Adam can do like no one else. 

Just personal opinion, but I think one reason I get so thrilled when Adam sings with Queen is the quality and complexity of the songs. It lets Adam really shine and show all what he can do. Much of the pop stuff he has been doing as a solo artist is not vocally or musically much of a challenge for someone with a voice like Adam's. IMO, pop doesn't require a strong, refined, controlled, technical voice. I hope that whatever A3 turns out to be, it will have a new type of "pop" or other genre that takes advantage of the skills Adam brings to the table.
