Adam = 5 octave range. And he knows how to use it. This alone captures me as a super fan. Add in super sexy while singing (even when you can't see what he's doing, cuz you DL'd the mp3, but OMG, that VOICE!), and a flair for surprise and the recipe is pretty perfect. I don't know the technical stuff, but I also find for me at least, that there is a quality in Adam's voice that is the most addictive thing in the world to me. It causes the lightest, brightest feeling in my body and I really cannot get enough of it. LIVE, that voice is totally captivating. Plus, the man knows how to work a room and put on a show. Seeing him live 6 times, I know the first was not a fluke. He does it every single time. I'm pretty sure his aura can light up a room and must be about 100 feet in diameter. The Voice. New music is coming. More power to the powers that be and the artiste who will bring it to us. Please, let it be soon. ETA: cassie!! you have words for what I'm feeling!! and no wonder I love his nose.... I respectfully disagree about him having a 5 octave range ....I have been fascinated by his range from early days, and have tested out his range myself on more than one ocassion. At best I have heard him cover just under 3 octaves....which is totally incredible, especially with the quality of the notes at the outer end of his range. Just saying what I have heard myself  Cassie may agree or disagree - will be interested in your opinion! Everything else you have said, however, I am in total agreement!!! |

@feztweets Ke$ha 2nd era not releasing until May 2012. Hmmm www.theprophetblog.net/keha-eyes-may-2012-release-date-for-next-album"won’t be releasing a new album until May next year. Or at least that’s what her producer Dr. Luke is Tweeting, telling a fan not to expect a new album from 24-year-old until “close to May.”One less person releasing an album this fall that Adam will have to compete with. |

I think that Adam recognizes that his voice is a thing of great beauty and great technique. IMHO he plays his talent down and builds others with less talent up in order to work with them in his chosen field. He was beyond humble on Idol ,although nobody could touch him vocally. Adam is a people person and he really knows how to fit in,get along,etc.He learned to help others and not have a 'star' attitude when working in theater groups as a young boy.When He tried out for Idol, he was asked are you our new winner, he said "I think so" "I can sang". He knows what he's worth. IMO I think he still wants a larger world wide fan base ,who will follow him and who will be fine with his creativity and experimentation. As Adam has said often,he wants longevity,he wants to work in the industry for the rest of his life. He said this as a teen and continues to say it now.I think he is securing his position ,so that he feels free to grow while maintaining a career and a living.Just sayin...
If it came to choosing commerce over creativity,I don't think Adam would ever sell out his essence of being,his art.

If it came to choosing commerce over creativity,I don't think Adam would ever sell out his essence of being,his art. From the InRock Japan interview He was asked about Adele and I liked His answer about the voice being what is important. I: I see. Which reminds me. Is it true that you are inspired by the artiste Adele? A: Yes, I love Adele. I: Do you think that the direction of your music is in any way influenced by hers? A: I think my album will have a more electronic sound than hers. However, if you were to ask me what is the number one thing I’ve been inspired most by her, is that she’s reminded me that what’s ultimately most important is the “voice”. She’s the greatest proof of that – everyone craves her voice. Even without using sound effects, beats and special synthesizers, she’s reminded me how a song can be strong by carefully infusing it with emotions and feelings, and a great vocal quality. Without a doubt, Adele has reminded me that this is really what’s most important. Her voice is incredible. |

Adam doesn't have 5 octave range. While I'm convinced such freaks of nature (and I'm saying it with admiration) exist somehwere out there, Adam's not one of them. His vocal range is 3 octaves, from every analysis I've ever seen on him. I'm reading these comments from this and the previous thread and... Adam has never listed an opera or a musical star as his Idols that I'm aware of. His idol is, for example, Madonna: vocally not particularly impressive. He spend his adult life going to clubs. He's a child of a 21st century pop culture as much as of theater, and when it comes to his music career, the 21st century pop culture clearly wins. And in pop music, perfect vocals isn't the and-it-all deal, it's a song people can relate to. By the way, not having perfect vocals, doesn't mean someone is less talented. Bad Romance didn't dominate the pop music for a year because Gaga isn't talented. For me, the best and most original new music comes from Florence + Machine but vocals is the last thing I mention when I recommend Florence to people. As long as Adam sells as pop singer, he'll be dancing and screaming and wailing to the accompaniment of electronic bells and whistles or maybe occasional rock guitars. In case someone failed to notice, Adam gets off on the audience reaction to him. If people will continue to go loco when he's on stage singing song like Fever and For Your Entertainment, and sing along to pieces like Whataya Want From Me, he's going to continue in that vein. Adam's clearly at home with an audience who won't care about him forgetting lyrics and who'll jump to the beat. He won't switch his focus to omg!perfect vocals because not many people actually care about it. Also, Adam appears to want some measure of commercial success with all the frills associated like awards shows and television promo. He's not going to get that if he starts singing stuff for the purpose of showcasing his scale and resonance. In short: Adam is a pop singer by conviction, inclination, talent (which is more than just vocals) and circumstances. He's happy as a pop singer, that's his calling as he frequently proclaims, that's what he used his Idol chance for. He will remain one as long as there will be a sufficient amount of people buying his CDs and coming to concerts. Pop is the music that lets Adam express himself best, not musical theater or opera-lite. Why want to change him? |

LOL IMHO,we are becoming rather like the story "Six Blind Men and an Elephant" We all see the part of Adam we like and say that's who Adam really is... Well if nothing else, he sure knows how to hold our love and attention. |

i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l597/gelly414/PAPARAZZI/BRADBARDOT/88.jpgTo be shallow for a moment since I know what I like about Adam's voice but could never analyze it, this picture from yesterday's thread caught my attention. The #teamlips group has to be drooling, though I don't know if in this shot the lips are natural or are looking so hot cause they'd been recently used and abused. Either way, wow! On the subject of Adam's career: I've always gone along with mom and her statement that "as long as he's happy," but also with Eber's "success would be nice." Adam, I think, loves nice things and loves to travel, meet people he admires, and be accepted. Money is one of the ingredients of those dreams. I scroll through all the technicalities of radio play, RCA and their plans, etc, and concentrate on fun facts and information on what Adam and Sauli are up to. I want #2 to be huge, but mostly because it would put a smile on Adam's face. He so deserves success and having people like what he creates seems to bring him so much joy.
