He also mentioned that he listens to Alice Cooper's radio show, and that Alice Cooper mentioned once that after he heard Adam, he knew that he was the person to sing with Queen. Interesting tidbit. I love AC and his radio show! I am always amazed by his knowledge! I am so happy to read that he knows Adam and has talked about him and Queen! Thank you!! |

The job of a critic is to critique a performance or show, not just to report the facts. A good critic has the experience and knowledge to make valid observations (which I may or may not agree with) about what is effective and what is less so. It is also expected that the observations are colored by the critic's personal tastes in addition to more objective considerations. Every production has strong and weaker components. A "review" that just says everything was impeccable is probably less than complete. As for Queenbert, I can comprehend comments about Adam's voice not having the toughness and grit for some of the hardest rock numbers. Adam can and does roughen his voice somewhat, but he never abandons his proper, safe singing techniques, thank goodness. Adam actually gets much more power by staying true to those techniques and using them for maximum resonance, ring, range and strength. If he belted like most heavy rockers it would sound more raw and dirty, and also more dull or flat in terms of resonance and fullness. He would also, over time, do damage to his vocal cords. NOT WORTH IT, to get more cred from the metal rock fans. When I listen to Adam singing live, I never stop hearing a very well trained, well controlled, legitimate voice. It is there in every number. While that is what I love about the voice, I can understand that is also probably the strongest criticism that can be made about his performances by lovers of heavy rock. So be it. There are plenty of other heavy rock bands around for them to go see and review. I think it would be interesting for some publication to send a reviewer with a classical music and voice background to a Queen concert. Someone who could recognize how masterful Adam is at what HE does. Yeah, not gonna happen cuz that is not the target audience. Oh, well. I KNOW how great he is. And my opinion, in the end, is the only one that matters to me, right? |

HI, back home now. I am sorry I couldn't stream, the public wifi didn't cooperate. Haven't read the thread yet, but assuming one of the others had cell service to fall back on? I had really wanted to do something for our community this time around... in my testing the audio and video quality seemed really good. Hopefully I can contribute in the future. And thank you so much for all those that do! I posted a recap in the concert thread if interested adamtopia.com/thread/2413/concert-thread-san-jose-usa?page=29My word for the day: Satiated (read more about it in my reacap) |
