Grease live just finished. It was a really intricate and good production...you can tell a lot of work went into getting it right. The best of these sort of productions, so far. I have to say, the three female leads had far more charisma than any of the males. Julianne Hough was perfect for the role, and both Vanessa Hudgeons and Carly Rae Jepson did excellent jobs.
I really look forward to the RHS now.... seriously, it is too bad the male lead was not a better match for Julliane...he was fine he just was not great. In some of the ensemble vocals his voice just got lost...and he simply doesn't have the swagger....not sure who they could have got to do a better job [not counting our boy who is better than everyone...lol...] but still...I really enjoyed it.

I I am not sure if this was intended to be taken literally or was a poetic way of saying he was perfect -- for example, dinners was perfect and hit every single note or StarWars hit every single note.
Taking it literally, I usually see these kind of comments from people and "reviewers" who do not attend a lot of popular music concerts -- often accompanied by a specific mention of how they don't go to many many concerts. While Adam is a spectacular vocalist, and by far my favorite, other singers, even pop singers can "hit every single note." I think that people hear music different and have/do not have emotional connections to vocalists in different ways. I am not an opera fan and rarely connect to an opera performance. Similarly, I do not "get" country music. But I love thrash metal -- where vocal imperfection is a core part of the genre, There are other artists whose shows are not so vocally-centric, who don't hit every single note, but who are incredible live. Neil Young is awe inspiring live -- but not because of his vocals, because of his presence and his guitar and his band and his music and his lyrics and --- then he performs a ballad. Katy Perry's show is amazing live -- but she can't sing some of the songs they way they were modified in the studio -- no one seems to notice or care, I did notice but I did not care. Lady Gaga can sing but uses backing tapes to amplify and sometimes to replace her voice when she is doing complex dance routines. (She proved it with her performances with Tony Bennett.) And there are a number of artists who are vocally close to perfect (I don't believe perfection is possible) in live performances -- Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Bruno Mars, JT, Bono/U2, Elvis Costello (even at 61), Cyndi Lauper. Florence + the Machine -- impressive. Many, many singers can sing live and "hit every note" -- across a lot of genres. Only a small fraction of these singers are successful because "perfect" is really not as important as emotionally connected, and stylistically relevant. A final note, I was a massive Queen fan in the 1970's. I know and still know many fans from those early years. People loved Freddie and loved Queen but I never recall anyone talking about the "vocals" -- they talked about the music and experience. I guess I am a person who took the tweeter's comment literally. I have never heard the phrase "hit every note" used in the context you mentioned: great dinner or movie, etc. I have only heard it used in its literal sense--maybe that's because music is my profession. So the tweeter may have just meant Adam was amazing, as you mentioned. And, yes, hitting every note is only part of an excellent performance. Even Taylor Swift can sing every note when not lip synching--she just hits some of them kinda out of tune. 8-) I have never seen Taylor Swift live but somehow I just don't think she can hit every note in her songs. It is impossible to tell any more because there are so many tricks -- for example, some singers are using mikes that auto-correct vocals. To me Adam has something more going on vocally then just hitting notes -- it is something about the way he sings that gets me. I will never be able to explain it and I have learned it is not that way for everyone. Perhaps it is like truffles -- to me they are amazing while others do not know what the big deal is and 40% of people smell rotten wood or sweat!! About truffles: Almost 25% of the population don't feel the smell of androstenone - the chemical that contributes to the truffle musk aroma (and drives female pigs sexually ecstatic). Another 40% of people are extremely sensitive to androstenone: they say it smells like rotten wood or sweat. The rest of the population likes its scent. After years of taking people to Adam concerts, I have concluded the sensory response to his voice must be very different for some people. |
