Reading of Sam Smith's vocal issues and musing over my coffee, I find it interesting and a little perturbed at the public's general dissing of artistic specialists....when specializing is the key to success in most other vocational realms. The reason singers from the musical theatre and opera can perform 6 and 7 performances a week is because they have specialized in their voices, working for years to hone and perfect their art. Yes, in musical theatre, most performers also have strong dance skills...but I also suspect if you did an analysis, those that have really strong dance skills are not quite as strong singers, and vice versus. I am ignoring the acting portion as I am focussing on the needs of the body to respond to the physical stresses of repetitive performing.
You only have to look at young singers like Sam or Adele to see what happens without the focus and training. And if you expect your singers to also dance up a storm, they have no option but to lip synch. Even Adam can't sing and dance for a whole concert....the odd number, like Fever on the GNT, but most of the girls now are expected to dance like semi-pro's and ridiculed when caught synching...well duh...ditto Also, if they have to put that much time and work into the dancing, that time must come away from the singing. Zero sum game.
So...why are singers like Adam criticized for not having more grit or push, or singers like Celine ridiculed for the efforts she puts into protecting her voice? If they don't do these things, they will end up like so many singers, cancelling shows or blowing out their voices forever. Trained vocalists can sing for decades...have you listened to Colm Wilkinson...at 70+ he can still do a very respectable "Bring him Home"...you won't see Robert Plante or Steven Tyler doing that..

Someone was asking a couple of days ago if other singers tweeted about Adam, here's one. Singer for Neon Trees. Neon Trees was on the same bill with Adam in Wilkes-Barre PA 2012 concert.  She was really very nice -- we got to meet her. She is a "real" Adam fan. ETA: Ooooops! Wrong Neon! |

jablea and pi, that was me asking if other singers had tweeted about Ghost Town. Thanks for posting the tweet from Neon Trees, made me realize that other singers could have tweeted and I didn't recognize their names.
Has anyone seen any tweets from other people who have played in Adam's band besides Tommy? I thought for sure Ashley would chime in. Oh, and I think Monte tweeted something also. But that's all I remember.

She was really very nice -- we got to meet her. She is a "real" Adam fan. You are confusing Neon Trees and Neon Hitch. Neon Trees is Tyler Glenn's band...... he tweeted Adam. Neon Hitch is a British singer/songwriter and she opened for Adam. |

BUT I find myself playing it a bit more.
