Hi everyone! I have never posted on a blog before...aarrghhh! Lurker, lurker...used to follow PF until it went poof. This may sound corny, but I loved lurking. Even though I wasn't actively engaged in the discussion, I felt a part of a community of caring, witty, knowledgeable and positive individuals. I only recently discovered you had moved to ATOP..thank you, Q3!!!! I actually got a bit emotional when I saw usernames I recognized. Why I decided to delurk today, I honestly don't know. Since this is all things Adam, ..'no more hiding' for me. How much I will post, dunno, but I am out of the lurker zone now. BIG step for me. I have learned so much from all of you. I appreciate quick-witted humor and hope to be a positive addition to this forum. I DID IT!! Whew.. , welcome to the family. |

Thanks for posting those links. One of the peripheral things to Adam that warms my heart is seeing the relative success of his dancers and band members. Most of the glamily were unknowns before they became a part of Adam's group. Being a part of Adam's band/dancers have helped them to live a dream as artists. Their families must be so proud. I will stop spaming and go back to lurking, but.... I grew up in the south on a farm. My family was poorer than poor monetarily, but we were somewhat Waltonesque. My brothers and sisters dreamed a lot of dreams living on that farm. We talked and dreamed under a starlit sky as we pondered the constellations. We grew up during a time of racial unrest and segregation. We dreamed with no real expectations that dreams would ever come true. Whether it was music, science, mathematics, politics, etc., we followed a dream not based on whether it was possible, but based on a compass north that we followed because it was in our hearts. I so love seeing Adam's band and any other artist follow the beacon and the light that has been emblazoned on their hearts. Lifetsytles is not about sexual preferences. It is about choices on how one wants to live. Oh, readon, yes, yes - - follow the compass north in your heart. Thank you for your simply wonderful post. It touched me. |

------------- (I can't seem to quote.) Cassie, does Allison hold her microphone too close and does this distort her sound? I loved her on Idol but the GNT shows I went to and in this clip, I can't understand her. Interesting observation! I hadn't noticed it so I went back and watched again, plus pulled up a couple of Idol numbers. She does hold the mic very close to her mouth, on the lower notes even touching her lips to it. Singers hold their mics close when they don't have the power or the resonance to project the sound, If the mic is not right in front of their mouth, it does not pick up the sound well. I've always thought of Allison as a power belter, but now I am wondering. When she sings in the low register or when she does not rasp/belt the note, she seems to have minimal resonance or ring that would carry the sound. If you dial up the mic to pick it up, then you run the risk of amplifying other background sounds as well. So, she just pulls the mic close to her mouth. It may be a habit that she has developed over the years, and the sound guys actually dial back on the mic to compensate so her voice does not get distorted singing powerfully so close to the mic. Maybe. But I suspect the habit was formed because she just doesn't have the tone that projects far, so she needs the mic in her face. The problem with that is then your consonants tend to pop or explode (P, B, T,) or hiss (S, F). That could have caused her to compensate by not pronouncing the consonants clearly. And it became a habit. Just theorizing. On one of Angelina's broadcasts with Juneau and Xena (I think the first one) she talked at length about Adam's diction. She says he uses a classical style where he "implodes" the consonants instead of exploding them. It's a tricky technique that let's you pronounce them clearly and cleanly, but without the pop/hiss or interruption to the vocal line. I would guess that Allison could benefit from some coaching on her diction along with her use of the mic. And, if she found a way to add more resonance/ringing to her tone, she could project her voice better, not needing the mic quite so close most of the time. Just my best guesses here. |
