You guys are awesome! I feel so special  . Hoopla, I just recommended to my nephew last night the middle name of Simone for one of his soon to be born twins. I love Nina Simone and I had no idea that I shared a birthday with her. I have always loved her "Feeling Good" and Adam's is the only other version I listen to. I think Simone is a sexy, sophisticated, sassy, fierce name and since I don't have a real middle name, maybe I can adopt it. It seems fitting since I aspire to be a little more sexy, sophisticated, sassy, and fierce. Maybe that will be my birthday present to myself! Also, I always love lambossesed's edits and this audition one is special. It represents the beginning of my Adam "obsession," the catalyst for some personal self-evaluation and changing perspectives on my life and my views of the world. I know it really "isn't that deep," but I refuse to diminish the impact on my life. Someone here posted this quote recently and it really expresses the impact for me: "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." ~Albert Schweitzer I don't know who the next person will be that will "rekindle my inner spirit," but I am going forward with an open mind and heart so that I won't miss the inspiration from anyone (including my fellow ATOPers). |

That is the same reason that some musicians have said Adam can't really sing "rock" music -- his vocals are too clean. It is not an insult, just a statement of fact. I disagree with that statement of fact.When the song needs to be sung with a gritty voice, he has gritty voice.At the end of WWFM when he shouts WWFM is pure rock.Also when he sang with Kiss at 3.38 of the song when he sang "one more time, one more time, yeaaaaaa!!" it was perfect gritty pure rock.When the song needs to be gritty he can perfectly do it. . And this to me is perfection.To be able to sing one minute with pure vocals and the next minute with gritty rock vocals. Again JMHO This is a bit out of my area -- but IMO Adam does not fit any classic rock vocal profile. (Not a big deal or a surprise -- we know he is one-of-a-kind). So I am not There are certain rock vocal styles that Adam has never done and I hope he never does. For example, in metal there is a "death growl. It is guttural vocals that I understand can cause vocal damage. Perhaps Cassie can comment on it. There are a variety of styles of "screaming" in vocal music -- like John Lennon, King Crimson or the Ramones did. Adam does a rock wail but he does not do a tortured scream. There is not one rock vocal style -- rock vocals range from multi-part harmonies that come from doo wop to the thrashed vocals from punk. I doubt anyone can sing all these styles. Here is an example of how Adam does not sing -- KoRN -- check out around 1:20 on this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRGrNDV2mKcAdam seems to be learning how to take care of his voice and will hopefully avoid the problems that many famous rock vocalists have had, like Robert Plant. en.allexperts.com/q/Led-Zeppelin-501/Robert-Plant-voice-1.htmFinally, and I have not research this, but most of the famous male rock vocalists are baritones I believe. Adam is a high tenor. It means that he can do some very unusual things but he will always sound different to an audience trained to here the darker tone of a baritone. Rock frontman who are baris usually with a well-developed falsetto--- Jim Morrison from the Doors Travis Meeks from Days of the New Scott Stapp from Creed Jimi Hendrix Elvis Presly Steven Tyler of Aerosmith Rob Halford of Judas Priest Geoff Tate of Queensrych Axl Rose Freddie Mercury Even Bowie -- who is considered a pop vocalist was a Baritone. The only famous tenor rock frontman who I can think of is Steve Perry. I am sure there are others. Adam isn't just a tenor -- but he seems to naturally fall in the high tenor range. I really do not think there is another male rock vocalist with his vocal profile and style. But maybe I am missing someone obvious. Adam does remind me of Sam Cooke and some other R&B and Gospel singers. He has the same range as Aretha and would have done her justice in that Grammy tribute if the Grammy producers where open-minded enough to add a male divo.  |

I loved the photos and don't see anything wrong with posting them. I love seeing Adam enjoy himself. OT I finished another little piece of the timeline. I had not paid much attention to this section because Adam wasn't very happy about doing Debbie Loves Dallas. However, I just loved the comments from Suzi and Lake Tahoe is so beautiful. I think Adam might not have been so unhappy, if he hadn't been separated from Brad. This section is kinda thin on info. Every photo is a link. The glittery words link just takes you to the timeline.
