OK, I have a question: As I watched that fabulous "8" courtroom drama thing, I noticed that everyone was wearing those little "face mics", like this: So, would this type of mic work fine for Adam when he's performing onstage? Or does the handheld mic work better? We've seen the odd little clips from Wicked, but I actually never noticed any of the people on stage wearing these type of face mics or holding the regular ones. ??? It would be kinda interesting to see Adam performing with both hands free, but I'm thinking maybe the hand-held mic gives him more flexibility... you know the way he holds it close to his mouth sometimes, then pulls it back... Seoulmate - I don't know much about this. Kanadie? However I asked a similar question of a friend when we went to a Broadway show several years ago and the actors were all wearing tiny mics attached either by elastic or clips approx at hairline at center of forehead. They sounded fantastic so I asked my friend why all singers didn't use them. per my spotty memory, he said that doing sound for a serious musical is a huge operation with sound designer and a team - mics for each person then the sound for the instruments, with speakers placed around theater in different formations. He said the headset mics are fine for speakers (like the play you mentioned) but aren't top notch in terms of sound for singers and can be problematic. Mostly used by singers whose shows rely heavily on dancing/movement - like Britney. So the performer can talk and sing live but usually used w/ a lot of lip syncing or a mix of actual speaking/singing with vocal tracks. He said traditional mics are still best for serious vocalists - warmer sound (I'm still not sure what that means - fuller? more resonant?) and puts more control in vocalists' hands - esp I would guess for vocalists (like Adam) who know how to use their microphone of choice like an instrument.) That's my poorly informed offering until the experts show up. Since I was up I thought I'd say hey even though you're clearly looking for new guys to talk to   |

and Bertiebotts... Seems to me that nowadays most Finns would have no trouble guessing Adam Lambert on a crossword!  |
