Finally coming out of "lurkedom" for good (I hope). It was tough keeping up with Adam and studying for exams at the same time but I managed (barely). RL has been compicated lately so I haven't posted in a while but it will hopefully get better soon.
I've been flailing, squeeing, etc with all of you though, sometimes when I should be focusing on more important things (more important depending on the perspective, from mine it wasn't important enough sometimes
)
Yesterday someone posted this video of a contestant on a portuguese tv show:
(He starts singing at around 4:20)
I just wanted to give you guys a bit more context on what exactly it is, and what the contestant is supposed to be doing.
All 8 contestants are celebrities, some are actors, others singers, this one in particular is a comedian. Every week they have to press a button at the end of the show and the computer selects a random artist they will impersonate the next week. During the week they work with a vocal coach, coreographer (if needed), and one of the judges who helps them understand the way the artist moves and how they behave on stage. The vocal coach helps them trying to sing in the same tone, use the same type of frasing the artist does among other things. Gender is irrelevant, men can play women and women can play men, it has happened to all of them at least once (and it is hillarious when it happens). Then every sunday there's a live show, the judges give them points from 4 to 12 (4 for the worse, 12 for the best), people at home vote, and each of the contestants has 5 points to give to one of the others. After adding all of that the winner for that week is determined and gets a cash prize to donate to a charity of their choice.
This contestant is taking the country by storm, no one knew he could sing, not even him. He has had some amazing performances, doing Adam was definitely not his best (I'm not biased or anything :
) but still he won again this week. I had fun looking at the details though
he had blue eye contacts, the rings looked very Adam, nails were painted, make up looked like Adam's too, the wig wasn't bad but it looked really weird on him, and the wardrobe was close enough to the video.
