I totally get your aggravation with Adam frequently not being recognized for his vocal ability. I think that is something we will just have to live with. He just makes it seems so easy that people do not realize what he is doing. They hear someone who sounds like they are busting a gut or destroying their vocal cords and assume they have extraordinary abilities when often that is not the case. HUGS!! Totally agree with you there. I have normally a pretty good ear for vocal ranges, but with Adam, I find myself constantly comparing back to either my own voice or an online piano or something, to know, where he is at any given time. He can vary the sound quality of his voice in so many ways that he can completely fool me. And just wait, when we get a song that throws longer passages of falsetto out there. Adam's headvoice is able to go higher than his falsetto, based on the little bit I have now heard of the latter. I don't think people will get that. Bet you they will think that the falsetto notes are very high, because they sound more strained. Head voice can sound so strong, when well trained, that it seems simpler than it is. Here is a guy explaining head voice versus falsetto, and he does it pretty well. Oh and his G5 is pretty impressive too, btw. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU-OlPet7lkAnd the other comment, about Adam's lyrics? I find that Adam has depth behind his lyrics, makes you think. They sound deceptively simple, but they often are not. They raise important questions. Ghost Town is a good example of that. Obviously, we don't know yet, in which context the "I'm a grown-ass man" is used, but if he really sings this like some big vocal line, as the review indicates, then this is actually far more on point, in an camp kind of way, than this reviewer seems to have grasped. Camp humor is not understood by everybody, some people totally don't get it. Adam has a wonderful way to use lyric, melody, vocal interpretation, beat, and everything in his arsenal to string together an internal conversation, waiting to be unfolded. It's like a prism, that can look quite different, if looked at it from different angles, and it is quite easy to just focus on one view and miss the intricate detail of what all can be explored. People don't expect it, 'normal' pop songs don't have such stuff. And for a fact, not every song that Adam does, has these elements. But many do, and it creates discussion in his fan base and hopefully more and more people start to recognize what he has to offer. |

It is amazing to see "Ghost Town" three times over 35 minutes on Foxtel V's channels. MTV Official Countdown- Top 30 Adam # 21, MTV Dance Tracks Chart- 10 Biggest Tracks Now- Adam # 6 and VHits OZ Countown Top 25 Adam # 18.
Any channel V, Robbie flick's, he came across "Ghost Town". 
OMG! heart almost jumped out of my chest when Robbie said to me: mom, this song will be massive, then he took his iPhone and he put "Ghost Town" to his music.   It's after 11pm, I'm getting ready to bed with a huge joy and a great smile on my face, oh boy! I dreamed about this moment for a long time. Finally, Robbie came around, finally Adam caught his attention. 
Good night,  YEAH! Robbie! 
graciejane and satisfied
I am so so happy! it is not easy to convince Robbie in many things, so seeing his reactions to Adam's song, which he bought without a second thought, for me it is a really amazing thing to witness!
Tom is fine when it comes to Adam, he is the one who always helps me when I need it, for instance to buy Adam music online, whether to book a ticket for koncerts etc.
In 2012, Tom, did me a huge surprise, he took me to the city, so I could see Adam's gig and after that we went to JB Hi-Fi shop, where Adam took his time with the fans.
Adam signed "Trespasing" album for me, and Tom, took a picture of me and Adam, photo on which I hold Adam's hand.
After that, a few months later, Tom did another surprise, giving me for my birthday gift, mug, with this photo on it.

We fans certainly appreciate what he can do with it, but new audiences won't buy his music based on his vocal technique. Adam wants to be a pop star, so coolness, sex appeal, catchy hooks, and may be the tone in his voice seem to be major driving forces for success in this particular niche. Thus, I have avoided for a while to overly focus on Adam's vocal capabilities when commenting about him in public forums. Instead I am keeping my fingers crossed that people outside of the fandom are feeling his new music. I do |
