As it is monday again i wanted to share this little gem i came across this week. LOVED IT! It lifted my spirits and hope it does the same for a few people in Here. I've never seen Percussion played like that! youtu.be/da_hY79YJ3ENot to be a bitch but i watched this Reprise of "reflection" by Christina Aguilera in honor of the live Action remake. While i loved the setting very much her performance just didnt strike me in any way. I didnt feel any emotion and it seemed more about effect and her sunglasses than the convaying the message and struggle of the song: youtu.be/hFltmx4VTzs

I agree about Xtina. Those sunglasses are extremely annoying and distracting. I have never felt drawn to her. Good voice, I guess, but no warmth, at least to me. That being said, I am very sorry that she and Adam could not do their tour together. She is very high-profile. The crowds would have been big, and Adam would have wowed his own fans as he always does and he would have shown those Xtina fans what an amazing star he is. And gaining new fans along the way.
2021 is going to be a catch-up year for every artist out there. They have all lost valuable momentum. The competition for tours and venues and media attention will be fierce. Hope Adam has some new promo plans up his sleeve.

marionmThe concept of the box for percussion has been used several times when Adam has performed. My brain is in slo mo this am...but the first song that comes to mind was Tracks Of My Tears on AI. Some people have more inclination for beats than I ever will! Haha Drummer percussionists amaze me how so many body parts are doing diff things all at the same time. My niece when she was around 5 got a small drum kit for xmas. I sat down at this thing and had a tune in my head and no way could I translate that to a beat on this kit. She sits down and was hitting out melodic beats. Sounded great to me. Lol!

I see that Johnny Rice and others were partying at Adam's house yesterday and Danielle and a group of girls were at Adam's house last weekend. I think Adam is in London as well. If he had to quarantine...perhaps it will be completed by his "work" next week.

The competition for tours and venues and media attention will be fierce. Hope Adam has some new promo plans up his sleeve. I'm sorry too. It would have been good for both of them. Xtina's US tours have been about the same size as Adam's in the US these later years. Putting the two together would have been arena size. Kelly Clarkson did an arena tour and they configured the arenas down to about 6k to 8k so she filled them for the most part. Huge sections were not for sale. Plus her tickets were really cheap. But she got the credit for an arena tour, lol. Carrie was more 7k to 11K on average (not QAL level except in a few cases) and her tickets were in line. I see no reason why Adam and Xtina together could not have done that but they would have been able to charge more than Kelly and still get the fans to come.

Maybe UK folks should keep an eye (or rather ear 😉) on the show...
