1.3.16 TOH Tour begins in Beijing, China!! + RECAP

My screamer is ready!   I expect to be deaf and hoarse after each show. lol

This jacket, which is an homage to his glitter years, is begging for tight black leather pants.

I know we have gotten just snippets and blurry videos so far, but..... yes, I AM impressed. This is so much more interesting, diverse, and vocally centric than his radio shows. Grander. More vocally challenging. Making better use of his instrument.

TBH, IMHO, YMMV, etc. but in Era #3 I've heard Adam change his voice to sound more pop-y, top 40, and, to me, generic. A different placement of the tone which results in less resonance, ring and fullness. Abbreviated phrases that didn't allow that voice to soar. Even less proper breath control at times in the effort to sound less refined? A couple of times I was even worried this way of singing that he was exploring would damage his voice in the long run. (Don't shoot the messenger, and you may disagree. It is just what my ears and mind heard.)

From what I have heard of this concert, his technique, his placement, his resonance, and his breath control were all totally on point. Plus, he has added richness to his lower register and is using it to great advantage. The low phrases are warm and chocolate-y. Then, as he goes up, and up, and up into his mid and higher range, the tone gets brighter, more brilliant and ringing. All the things I love about that man's voice, technique, and mastery.

He also has designed a fun, interesting, introspective, and dance worthy set of songs in various styles, so the whole thing sounds fresh. I am thrilled!
