I enjoy opera on car trips and such but wouldn't call myself a huge fan. Certain arias send me off into dreamland and I most certainly appreciate the training that one devotes to the craft. I've always enjoyed when artist mix opera with other genres. I'm not a purist. This is one adaptation that I've always liked a lot. For me, something like this would suit Adam very well (not literally; just speaking to the mixing of genres).

Concert day!!!! YEAH... we're going to see his new haircut and maybe he'll sing a new song? Maybe Marry the night? I really need some new videos of Adam and the band  It's been too long. Oh and since this day seems to start slowly, here's the video of a new phenomenon on German TV. On the new season of "The voice of Germany" there is a candidate that will clearly win. He made it to the semifinal yesterday with a liking rate of 95%  His name is Andreas Kümmert and he is a very shy and humble man and no entertainer at all. But his voice is so addictive... ![]() I really love, love, love the way he sings! PS: And referring to the latest pics of Adam by Lee Cherry - I'm not too fond of them. Of course Adam looks spectacular as always ![]() , but the whole vibe of these pics is too harsh and with too much contrast and image sharpness. Just my tiny little opinion |

Who was the person who had the Glee fantasy that Adam's secret reveal was that he was studying opera, and he sings an aria on Glee? It prompted discussion about whether or not Adam could credibly sing an operatic aria on Glee. Well, I was chatting with our favorite opera singer/voice coach, Angelina Kalahari, this afternoon. I told her the fantasy and asked if she thought Adam could sing opera. Immediately, unequivacably, and adamantly she said "YES!" He definitely has the techniques necessary. Additionally, he is a master at vocal placement, which is all important in opera. He almost always sings within the "mask" in the front of his face, which is very desireable and something most pop singers do not do. (She is referring to that brilliant resonant richness to his tone that we refer to as 3D.) Opera singers also work on emotional delivery, which he has in spades. And on proper articulation, which, again, Adam has down like no other. I said something like, "So, Adam could sing opera right now, with some coaching on style." She said not only "yes" but that he wouldn't need coaching. At most, he would need a bit on Italian pronunciation, but he has the keen ear to pick that up very quickly. (He also told her when they chatted once that he had sung opera during The Three Waiters gig. She commented that he wouldn't have gotten or kept that gig if he couldn't sing opera credibly.) So, there you have it. The definitive (IMHO)answer to "Can Adam legitimately sing opera?" Now, in what universe can we convince him to give it a go, just once? So nice to get her opinion on that. YAY! |
