I'm, just skimming here, so forgive me. I didn't want to lose my question because it just struck me. cassie, what the hell is a NJ nasal twang? I get what you're talking about with voices. I grew up in NJ and totally hate the way I used to talk (sorry fellow Jersey girls). I just never thought of it as a nasal twang. Twang = country Accents and the way people pronounce things have always fascinated me. Why do British and Australian singers sound American when they sing? I'm talkin' to you Elton John, Mick Jagger, Keith Urban. What about ABBA? Anyway, I'd love an example of someone singing/talking with a NJ nasal twang. Maybe the NJ twang thing is why I used to listen to and sing country music? Sorry. Just my attempt to describe the Jersey Girls sound. It sounds very nasal to my ears, as do many country singers. Hence the use of the word twang. Probably the wrong word all together. But, you know the sound I mean? Like Fran Whatshername from the Nanny? Fingernails on chalkboard to me. Oh, maybe no one knows that sensation either these days. What with white boards and computer screens. I sometimes feel obsolete. I get what you're saying. I was just thinking about it in the shower and Fran Drescher came to mind. Definitely nails on a chalk board. I might have actually sounded like that - YUCK! But I still don't understand why singers lose their regional accents when they sing - except country singers. Some people who made it in country cultivated the accent and twang. Eddie Rabbitt was born and raised in Brooklyn. Tony Bennett sings "plain". Barbra Streisand sings "plain". Hell, when I could sing, I sang plain - and that was when I had the Jersey girl accent when I spoke. Anyway, sorry to derail any ongoing conversations. I just find this kind of thing very interesting. |

I like to think of people here at Adamtopia as having good sportsmanship. i.e. being gracious about those who are not at Adam's talent level. I like to think of people here as that little bit more empathetic and more capable of putting themselves in other people's shoes. I also really like to think that, considering we all have weaknesses, we do not pick on others like so many at other forums do (some are like lions in a Roman arena, or vultures in the desert) Huge kudos to Durbin for his fight and his courage to get where he is. He has a mild social problem. It is mild but it is very real. Just as Adam is wired the way he has been wired. Durbin is wired the way he is and had no choice in the matter.
This is a personal request, not an Adamtopia requirement. Please lets not be like the others out there who pick on those not at Adam's level, and the more vulnerable, but rather be the one's who get it. Durbin is more vulnerable. I am not feeling sorry for him. It is a fact. It is truly unsportsmanlike to pick on people in general. But when you represent the winner, the best of the best, which Adam is when it comes to vocals, being and entertainer, and social abilities, all the more reason to be kind and gracious about those who are not at that level. Another lesson we can learn from Adam himself.

That is because James' fans, like many fanbases, are blindly devoted to him. But there is also lingering resentment against Adam for his "critical" tweets about James during AI last season (even though they were meant as constructive criticism) and Adam's strong support for Haley. And the fact that James' album sales have not been great (only 70,000 units to date) has created quite a bit of jealousy. It's really too bad, because Adam could actually have been a good mentor for James. It's a lost opportunity for James-- he could use some guidance on his vocal technique as well as his career. Adam would have given James sound advice in both areas. And in the proper use of Twitter. ;D Makes a lot of sense, but I thought Daughtry was helping JD (as well as his PR staff,record label, etc....) Yes, Daughtry did provide some advice -- not sure how much, but he did help James. I just thought Adam would have been a good mentor, too. Especially in the area of vocal training, since Adam clearly knows how to make the most of his voice, as well as how to take care of it. Also, it seemed like James was trying to emulate Adam on AI, which was another reason I thought mentoring James would be a natural fit, even more so than Daughtry. But 'twas not to be. |

Adam Lambert @adamlambert ·More
@durbinrock dug the Conan performance! You and the band sound great!
in reply to @durbinrock
Adam ??? .. well, Durbs did sound better than he has in awhile..and I did happen to catch it.. (mind you I wasn;t trying but, I was watching Conan and I guess I got lucky.. lol ) I just had a hard time HEARING Durbs thru all the accessories.. scarf on head, feather earring, fox tail..some other thing on his rear, scarf on mic stand.. etc.. it was distracting..and to much I agree that is the best I've heard him. The first few notes were pretty iffy. |

That being said, I think the Durbs could broaden his vocab. |

I have a completely irrational dislike for Durbin. Not proud of it but there it is :-[ . Everything about him gets on my last nerve. I really think it started with his horrendous ACIGC. He came out there like he wanted to show everyone he was better than Adam Lambert and unfortunately I've never been able to shake that. I can't even feel sorry for him when he performs embarrassingly bad :( . I don't think I can be as generous as Adam, so I think I just will continue to ignore him as much as possible. |

Adam is being magnanimous as always. I think he is very sincere too in his comment about JD. Me? Can.Not.Stand.Him. Maybe I should follow BB's lead and be kinder. JD's fans though are something else. When he had that disastrous performance during a Falcon's game, there was a huge fanwar between the two fandoms. It got really ugly. What I did not like were his fans' comments that Atlantans were rude, uneducated and there were even racist comments. If your ears can stand it without bleeding, you tube his performance where he was booed off the stage. While I also can.not.stand. Durbin I gotta say that atlanta performance was soooooo off that I have to guess he couldn't hear his own voice. That happened to Adam once or twice on tour. He was in a totally wrong key. That is not poor vocal technique like going flat on one note. If the music is loud enuf, and the ear monitors are not working, and you don't have speakers with the vocal piped in in the front of the state facing you, it is very possible not to be able to hear your voice AT ALL. So, I blame technology for this one. Doesn't change my opinion of JD tho. |
