@ csharpminor - I agree with you about a duet. I think they would sound and look good together. I think it's been mentioned here that she was kind of indifferent to Adam in some public statements, but Claude Kelly has worked with both of them, so maybe something will come of it after all.

Just skimmed and chiming in on the convo about Adam's future musical direction. Full disclosure first-- I DO like enough modern pop music to say I like it as a general rule. I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of musical theatre or light opera, or opera, but I definitely like and appreciate some works in those genres.
I guess what I genuinely don't get is how Adam would be more creatively fulfilled doing opera or musical theater? Aside from the fact that he's said that he felt stifled by the limitations of theater, how would that give him more rooom for creative expression? Singing the same songs night after night, week after week, etc., and basically needing to stay on-script and on-note every time. Where would he have the freedom to play with riffs, melody, phrasing, lyrics (lol) as he does with his own music, or even covers?
I'm not a musician, so I don't totally get it, but I imagine it's like telling a painter he can paint only one scene the same way over and over again. Sure, he could maybe paint it a bit ~better every time, but what if he wanted to paint in a totally different style, or wanted to paint something else altogether?
For me (JMHO YMMV etc) theater is about expressing the vision of the writer of the play/musical/opera. In my opinion Adam wants to create his own vision and then execute that vision using his voice, body, brain.

NoAngel - I understand your point and pretty much agree, but I started chuckling to myself with your painter analogy. Monet painted well over 200 Waterlilies paintings. He also did several other series where he painted the same thing over and over (and yet each is unique!) such as the 25 or so Haystacks.

I don't know enough about him to know if he was in constant pursuit of perfection? Or just seriously obsessed with lilies? And I don't mean to dis singers in musical theater or opera. It takes a true artist to take a 2-dimensional role and breathe life and soul into it onstage and reach the emotions of the audience. I guess I can more easily imagine Adam creating a musical theater production of his own rather than singing in someone else's. |

I guess I can more easily imagine Adam creating a musical theater production of his own rather than singing in someone else's. Mostly, Monet was obsessed with painting light - he was always trying to capture the same scene with different lighting and to somehow bring the ~feel of the light into the painting. Many of the "series" paintings were actually done at the same time. He would work on whichever one was correct for the current conditions (sunrise, midday, sunset, cloudy, etc.) With the lillies he was able to include the fun of painting the light reflecting off the water. The London series had different weather conditions (such as fog and rain) interacting with the light. |

I guess I can more easily imagine Adam creating a musical theater production of his own rather than singing in someone else's. Yes, I can see Adam going back and doing a finite run of some of the classics. After all, his "first love was musical theater," but there was a reason he was restless before and that hasn't changed. He has always said he'd love to play Judas and if the timing and production were right, I hope he'd go for it (of course, I want the film version). I'm sure there are other great challenges he'd love to take on when he reaches a compatible age for the character. So cool how he essentially changed the game so that he could have the freedom he wanted but still be marketable. Also funny how his inspiration was originally Zodiac, but his means to that end was "American Idol." They really are polar opposites, but he pulled the valuable elements from both and is making the entire thing work. It's really amazing when you think about it. |
