4msrmyn - Thanks for the anniversary videos of Toledo. (Page 3) It looks like we will have to be happy with old stuff for the time being. But we are so lucky to have so much to choose from. And you have catalogued it so well - You are amazing!!! Thanks!

Before I go... upthread the bastard single by J. Scott was mentioned and I have never heard it so searched twitter and listened. Just because I need to hear all Adam music at least once. My comment, always love Adam singing but this is a song that is heavily synth and would this qualify as a four cord song with few lyrics. Really didn't pick it apart but would not be high on my list of favorites. To me it is over produced and not very complex - but more of the type of thing I hear on radio. Started to get bored by the end, not with Adam, just the song mix. Our music gurus my better know how to put what I am trying to say into words :-/ Well, I think you are being a bit over-generous in calling it a four chord song. Technically that's true: Aminor, G, F, and D minor are used at some point in the piece. However, about 80-90% of the song just sits on the A minor chord. It can hardly be called an Adam Lambert song, as his voice is so buried by the electronics and synths, and so modified and manipulated that it is almost unrecognizable. It's like using a piano virtuoso to play chopsticks. I don't go to dance clubs, so I don't know. Maybe this is the type of music that everyone raves about there. It could certainly get you moving. Gratefully, I think Adam has moved way past this in terms of making his own music. And, it seems he now realizes that what stands him apart from all other pop artists out there today is first and foremost, the voice. I don't see him relegating that to the background in the future. Plus, this is not the kind of thing that can really be performed live, since the voice is so manipulated. At least, that is my hope. I absolutely agree. What wasn't learned in this regard during tour, was probably driven home by a missed Grammy win. I think Adam is very competitive and will probably do what it takes to try and prevent this from happening again. Now my worry is that he will over think his album. Hopefully he has the right people around him to help him mold this vision. |

 Why so invisible, Adam? (Doesn't he just look here like he knows a trick we don't?) Been thinking about this. It would be very difficult to "disappear" in LA, with all the paps on the lookout at his favorite places. But, put him in another city when he is not expected, and I think it would be fairly easy. Adam has a very distinct look ----- when he wants it. But, remove the make-up, camouflage the distinctive hair style, dress him in ratty jeans, running shoes, and a colored T=shirt instead of his signature black look, and put him in an everyday setting ..... yeah, his uber fans would still recognize him, but I don't think anyone else would make the connection. Glad he can still have some time incognito, as tough as it is for us. The weather has gotten quite warm so this may not still be the case, but if Adam came to Pittsburgh in a Steeler shirt, he would look like 89%, I'm serious, not exaggerating, of the population, man, woman, and child from 6 months to 100 yrs old. My crazy 14 yr old grandson says he doesn't want to blend in (sound familiar?) so today he was wearing a RAMONES shirt from Hot Topic up to his school to help pack up for the summer. Yesterday it was KISS, and the day before it was BEASTIE BOYS. His 8th grade graduation from Catholic school was the other night and he wore a suit, but it was combined with this tie www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/other/8bit_tie.jpgEven the priest laughed. I haven't gotten him on the Adam bandwagon, but while driving he and a friend to a soccer camp 40 min away, they asked to hear Adam because his friend knew who he was and watched him on Idol, but never heard FYE. They both seemed to enjoy it but the comment as they exited the car was, "He's no Billy Idol," with chuckles and rolling eyes. |

I was being over generous because I didn't want to offend anyone because it is Adam after all, and I don't know much about music specs. SO glad you commented, because I didn't think there were many chords but surprised really stayed at one - but not surprised - no wonder it got monotonous by the end. The red part is funny and very descriptive and I agree - you said it well:-) I also agree he understands better about not overshadowing the vocals. |

Do we have any Canadian Quebequois (ok - spelling sucks) here? Has Sleepwalker (and a vid???) really been played, and played that much? Yes, Much Music, MuchMoreMusic and the French channel Musique Plus have played it for months and it has been voted at the top by the Canadian fans continually. |
