[grins] Ok - I'll admit I laughed my butt off at this one. Particularly the Nanorin vs Sindarin "Get it right people!" part. #YupImmageek. :D |

Okay, breathe...breathe... I AM COMPLETELY CRAZY!!! I just bought a ticket to the second Mohegan Sun Arena concert and a plane ticket to Boston... and I can't actually afford it. *Splats on the floor and fans self*. I just couldn't pass up this nice single ticket in section 15 (lower level on the catwalk side) row B -- as in SECOND ROW JUST ABOVE THE CATWALK SIDE....aaaaaaaagggggghhhhhh.....
Anyway, who's going to this show? I will be flying overnight to Boston and will arrive early in the morning. If someone is staying at Mohegan Sun, can I pass out on your floor or couch for a few hours before the concert? I'm tidy and reasonably well-behaved!
Back to flailing..... I'm CRAYZZZZZZ....

cassie, I could read information like this all day long. It gives such a platform to my appreciation of Adam, which is pretty much limited to, "he moves me." He really is one of a kind, and it is sweeter for me because there is so much hard work and artistry behind his singing. Appreciate you sharing this. You and he could have quite a chat, if you could manage lucid conversation with him that close, I know I couldn't.  So kind of you to comment. Glad my writing helps you to appreciate all that Adam does. That is my purpose in writing it. Many people assume that singing is the most natural thing in the world, and just about anyone can do it. Those with great voices are just naturally blessed. While it is true that some people have physiology that lends itself to a great voice, just like "natural athletes", if they don't study, train, and work their butts off, the blessing lies dormant. They never go far. Saying that Adam's voice was a gift received, for me, minimizes the years and years of obsessive dedication to his craft. Other folks say, "I don't care how he does it. Don't care about technique. I just want to watch and listen and enjoy. All that matters is how he makes me feel." Fair enough. The magic of that voice and that performance is thrilling on its own. For others of us, knowledge of how rare such a voice is, and what all has to come together to create the magic adds to the appreciation and wonder of it all. Just like reading the notes about backstage on tour make the set more incredible. Thirty miles of cable? Really? Forty permanent workers and another 40 temp hires at each stop? That is massive. No wonder it takes our breath away. So glad that Brian and Roger decided to spare no expense and create a show that leaves us "deaf, blind, and gasping on the floor." In the same vein, knowing all that goes into Adam's performance makes me realize I am the one who is blessed because Adam is sharing his craft with me and creating such divine music. How lucky I am to be alive and to see and hear him! A few days ago I was stupid enough to read comments on some Queen forum (yeah, I know, why would I?). Some troll said something that made me facepalm with all hands I had available. It went like this: "That Lambert guy has a trained Broadway voice. On Broadway, these are a dime a dozen". The implication being that Freddie was "untrained and natural". Then I needed even more palms - "Btw, on Americal Idol everyone can sing in tune. Adam Lambert isn't even in the top ten of AI singers". Anyway, I found it very interesting to listen to Roger in that Freddie documentary describing his voice in the very beginning of Queen as "amplified sheep". Roger then said "but he somehow reigned it in". In other words, Freddie practiced until he sounded good. He wasn't born the greatest frontman that ever lived, he had to work on becoming one. Of course, he had the drive and ambition to "not be a star, but a legend" from the beginning, and god-given talent, but it seems like some of his modern day fans assume that "a natural singer is better than a trained one", so that makes Adam "too polished" and "less gritty and emotionally touching". When Brian and Roger say that Freddie would have liked Adam, I have to think of the documentary by Alfie Boe ("Freddie Saved My Life"). Listen to the story about Freddie's introduction to Montserrat Caballe's voice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mDqXKQWx_c#t=2168I believe he wanted to be able to sing like that. Despite not having the necessary training, he tried to sing opera because for him, this was the highest, most beautiful form of singing. So when people post on forums putting down Adam for being "too polished", I have to wonder "What would Freddie think if he could hear WWTLF in 2014?" I tend to believe he would have loved it. |
