YIKES! I hope Adam sticks to his own sexy style and isn't going far-out weird.  Nah, Adam just needed a little more splash on his unitard for the hometown crowd...   |

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.
I've visited Queen forum sometimes, I find it that some posters are troll. They don't necessarily Queen fans, they maybe music fans, rock music fans but some people are definitely Idol fans. Claimed they don't like Adam and his fans but knows a lot about his Idol journey, his "slump" 2nd albums sales and especially his "older age female" fans. Do these sounds familiar to you? They signed up on the forum right at the time or around MTV EMA. To me they really sound very familiar, like those bitter fans of other idols. Someone pointed out that one of them is from VFTW.. LOL. Though some of them are Queen fans who also watch AI and fans of other idols and definitely don't like Adam. I'm not saying that the person who posted that comment on the Queen forum is not a Queen fans, but these FoOI, what they do is pouring gasoline into a fire.

Michele @sepiassecret 50m
There are still a LOT of seats available for Atlantic City's Boardwalk show bit.ly/1t2FqzWThis has nothing to do with tonight of course but I hate that this show has not been selling so well. I can only hope that word of mouth precedes it & gets people to buy tickets because they will be missing ONE HELLUVA SHOW! I'm going!!   |
