My post was in response to a question to me about why the backing singers sounded so good when often, with other singers, they don't. I was just speculating, based on what I have learned about Adam. And I stand by it. Yes, Adam has "people" who take care of much. He has a music director to take care of many of the logistics and rehearsals. So do all the other artists who the poster was noting did not have such a good blend with their backing singers. Neil may have recommended these girls, all seasoned professionals. But Adam chose them and welcomed them into the family. Brian drilled the singers and band before Adam joined them. But, Adam, thru his connections, hired the right MD for the job, and conveyed his vision. I have worked with many musicians in many situations. I know that the sum can be greater than the individual parts. An extraordinary leader can create magic with less than extraordinary musicians, or can gather the right musicians for the right parts and work with them and inspire them to create something marvelous. I have also seen a poor director, a tirant,, an egotist destroy the team of talented musicians and the subsequent production. Ultimately, it rests on the leader, in this case, Adam. That's my story and I am sticking to it. All I'm saying is there are a ton of other VERY talented musicians, singers and arrangers involved in these performances. The background singers sound good because they are professionals who have had years upon years of training and also had experience singing for and touring with a Grammy winning artist. Adam is great at what he does, but he didn't walk in and suddenly make these two women, who have countless years of experience, "sound good". That seems dismissive to these two talented vocalists. Not to mention, Brian London who worked with these two ladies before Adam ever entered the building. Brian must be pretty good at what he does, or the BIG names like Bruno, Gaga, Rihanna and Katy Perry wouldn't have used him. Adam is lucky to have him! Adam didn't make them who they are in two days anymore than he made Sasha a great dancer. She came in being an amazing dancer and excelled before and after the tour. There are other people who are talented outside of Adam. So Adam adds nothing to the equation? Anyone could have put this particular group together, and it would have come together just as beautifully had any singer paying their salaries just walked in and sang? I think there's a middle ground here. |

I really love what he says here - and more importantly - how he says it. When i start listening to him it always shifts me. |
