Yup. And at 1:41 a Bb5! All the high notes in the Impromptu are falsetto which is produced much differently from full-voice, but it is still impressive. (Some people have said it is whistle register, but it does not sound it to me.) yes, and it is a very controlled falsetto at that. Yeah, I don't hear any whistle register here either. Talking about Freddie the songwriter: I had this on repeat today, it's just lovely and for all those enjoying or dealing with the early winter we are getting here, enjoy - its brilliant songwriting in my opinion: Freddie and Adam both sing with such passion. It is so understandable how Freddie influenced the many rock vocalist of today. He left behind an awesome legacy. |

Adam gets $250K for one performance -- he has to pay the band and a few other expenses. So he safely clears $120K a concert. More for the concerts in Asia. He did not tour extensively this year, but he did enough concerts to be in excellent financial shape. Performances (20+ concerts), royalties, Glee guest star, appearance fees, he is doing fine. And, next up is a new record deal. From what we know of Adam's finances, he is very conservative. I think (guessing) the apt move was part of downsizing because he was going to be single again. He and Sauli moved in January 2013. In early April, Adam said the breakup was in the works for a couple of months. So just my thought, but it seemed like a transitional most to me. Regarding the boots, the Biloxi concert will pay for his boots for the next 5 years and jackets too!! I like to think my money is going for important causes! Are you sure Adam gets $250K for every single one of these concerts? I calculate that the total box office take for Biloxi will be about $100K, maybe slightly more, if totally sold out. How can they afford to pay Adam $250K? The Hard Rock's hotel was already sold out when the concert was announced, so they are not making any money there. Every concert attendee would have to spend another $150 on Hard Rock property for the Hard Rock to break even. I know I am not. Not all but most, some are more -- even some of the charity events are that much. Pittsburgh Pride was $250K. The casino shows are always money losers -- Harrah's does them for a variety of reasons including driving traffic but mostly for their VIPs -- and a Harrah's VIP generates over $10K in profits a year. So the economics work. The big arena shows (like Pink) are booked at 110% of gross. The venues live off the bar and concessions. |
