I am probably overthinking this but here goes ... My first concern when I learned Adam was going to do Faith was that, because of their resemblance and the utter simplicity of the song, Adam would not be able to make it different enough. I watched multiple versions of the song including the original video, some live versions by GM and even a Limp Bizkit version. At first watch tonight, I thought that Adam nailed the vocal and why not, it was not much of a stretch, but that he looked a little stiff. Then I realized that one of the most distinctive aspects of every GM performance of the song is the particular way he dances. It is hard not to do that rhythmic bob to that song. I think Adam was not dancing on purpose because he didn't want to look just like George Michael and when he did dance toward the end, he did that cute knee and dip movement. Also the black and white outfit was a nod to GM's style but with pretty flowers. : The upshot is that I am very happy with how it went. And 3ku1, that is what we do here is analyze, over-think, and then adore. You probably have a point there LindaG23. I also thought that he deliberately didn't want to look like GM. Maybe that's also why he shaved most of the melvin away. No shades also. He could have looked way more like GM then he did, but it seemed to me he chose to stay close to himself. Show Adam and not the cover version of GM. He looked gorgeous!

And I loved that long pause and looking at the crowd Adam did before finishing the song. The man just oozes STAR QUALITY on a stage and you can't take your eyes off his every movement up there!!

I thought he looked great and did a great job. "Faith" is not really a balls-out glory note type of song. The range is limited and steady. I've always liked the song, but it wasn't the kind of song that really showed off Adam's voice in a big way. I loved the way Adam moved on the stage. And the shirt was really fun. I didn't watch the whole thing. Had to get other stuff done tonight. Glad Adam was on early. I agree that there might be something to be said about him not wanting to be too much like GM. Adam hates being a copy-cat.

Adam looked gorgeous tonight -- I never remember him looking better on any TV performance.
He looked relaxed and like he was having a great time.

Why all the negativity and cynicsim? I don't get. I mean why are most above all pop songs. OH the song is boring. I mean does Adam have to sing a emotive ballad, so it connects with the feels lol? Sorry I don't really care. He was on live tv, sounded great. That is what is most important. IT is not like Faith is his song, so he has nothing to lose either way. He reintroduced himself to an audience, who may have forgotten about him. Or discovered him, and gone out and bought his album off itunes, or streamed his music on youtube or spotify. To me that is the most important part, new fans. ETA: Not having a go at anyone here, just comments I have seen. Just watched itm he did great. The song did not require any more octaves then 1 tbh. He sang it right in key. And showed alot of great resonnce and tone, that kinda reminded me of GM's vocals. HE was having fun, the audience loved Adam. As audeinces always do haha. So win win for me. Adam looked wonderful. Beautiful. That radiant smile. He made the most of the song, sang it well. I am happy he was on national TV again. Why am I less than thrilled that he sang that song? Why does it matter to me? Imagine that you finally got a reservation at a popular Michelin Start restaurant with a James Beard Award winning chef who is the best in the business. You are famished and cannot wait to taste his renowned cuisine. The food arrives and it is a hot dog with coleslaw and baked beans. It's prepared perfectly. The coleslaw has just the right amount of spice and vinegar. The beans are made with molasses. All in all, it could not have been prepared better. But it is a hot dog, coleslaw and baked beans! Not what my senses were craving!
