Just finished chatting with Angelina Kalahari, the UK opera singer and Adam fan. Of course we discussed the Queen performance. She was blown away by it like the rest of us. She heard the narrower vibrato, and thinks that it was done to fit the operatic style of the Queen music. She said that she hears a new level of mastery in Adam's voice. She noticed the change from the London concert she attended to the one she went to at St. Agathe this summer and wondered if it was just a one time thing. Hearing him at the EMAs confirmed to her that it is a genuine growth in his skills and power. She was amazed at how different (yet still Adam,just moreso) it sounded in such a short time. Wondered if he had been working with a vocal coach or just really concentrating on his voice on his own. With both the St. Agathe and the Queen performances she saw that Adam has embraced his craft as a confident superstar.
We chatted about a lot of details we noted in the Queen performance, and Angelina is going to try to put together a program on it .... but may not be able to get to it until her schedule lightens up in a month.
I asked her your question about whether this was a style of singing that would eventually hurt Adam's voice, and she said, "No." He is singing with the absolute best technique, and the power rock sound comes from a way of squeezing the muscles in his throat, not from straining or pushing his vocal cords. So, we don't have to worry about Adam blowing out his voice like Adele apparently did. I asked her why Adele had the problems when she would have learned proper vocal technique at the school she went to. Angelina said that the school does not concentrate on proper, classical technique (which is really the only way to sing with power without damaging the voice eventually).
She is really totally down the rabbit hole about Adam's voice, abilities and technique. Says he does things with his voice that many opera singers have not mastered. And this from a lady who just finished touring Europe teaching vocal masterclasses and is now working with people who are preparing to audition for England's version of "The Voice." High praise indeed.

High praise indeed. This is the key-- I do believe Adam takes care of his "instrument" the way other musicians care for theirs... after all you don't treat a Stradivarius casually, and Adam has indicated he respects and treasures his vocal gifts. Also, like all great musicians, Adam continuously tests, explores and strengthens his range and abilities. He does not take anything for granted and it is not in his nature to "settle." I wonder if complacency is even in his vocabulary. |

\Yeah, avari, great job!! I'm a very low key fan, it goes against my very nature to act fangirly outside of the various fanboards. But I thought it was important to correct any misinformation they may have had. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be hiding in a dark room somewhere. |
