I need some super bionic ninja ears. On Runnin, at about 1:20, when he sings "The higher, the lower, the down, down, down." I THINK I hear an echo of the melody line an octave lower. Do you hear it? And if it is really there, is it Adam? Is it Adam's voice manipulated down the octave? Or, WTF, does he really sing a Frickin' D2??? Kanadie? Holst? nationalglampoon? Anybody? (For non-music geeks, that would be one of the lowest notes a BASS voice sings! And make his recorded range something just two tones short of four octaves. WTF?) I heard that too, Cassie, and my first thought was "I'll be damned, I think Adam just allowed autotune to line that up".... Or maybe Rob Cavallo was right after all. Some people had doubts when Cavallo said that. I am no expert of course just repeating what Cavallo said.

It is not that this is so hard to understand, it is the mixed messages we get regarding what is wanted, in this respect. I lived in an area close to the largest first nations reserve in North America. There was...and still is...a massive amount of passive racism towards this community and it impacts their lives at every point. To build community with their youth, and bridges to the non-aboriginal community, the First Nations [predominantly Blackfoot] used to hold open public-invited pow-wow's. They invited us all to dance with them. In a private conversation with a friend of that group, I was informed that in fact, many of the native dancers ridiculed our awkward participation and really only took part in them for the laughs later. Needless to say, I never participated in another pow-wow! I see this criticism as an indicator of some of that same sentiment...just different details. When we try so hard to do what is the best for Adam and his friends...and then get criticized [dare I suspect ridiculed] for it, we are left hurt and unsure what we should do at all. Should we just 'mind our own business' and never comment if we suspect the readership may be predominantly gay? Should we stop complaining when journalists keep on defining Adam as 'the gay' singer? I don't think the commentators are saying 'it doesn't matter' so much as 'it shouldn't matter' and the only way we know to show this is to not let 'it matter' to us. To focus on the music. ..which this particular writer completely dissed as froth. Trust me....any other writer of any other blog or paper would have been drowned in defensive commentary for that uninformed music commentary. seriously.... I think this is a great discussion to have, and here is a great place to have it. I think many of us feel like we are 'damned if we do and damned if we don't'. As Adam said: Whataya want from me? I LIKE what you say about trying to show that it doesnt matter to us. But I do think if you arent part of an attacked minority you cant really understand what they go through. So why not give them some space to be a bit pained and not see our good intentions every time. We who dont have to deal with the daily BS they deal with are so privileged. These wounds go deep. That said, im not saying we shouldnt explain our intentions - just that our hurt at being misunderstood is nothing compared to theirs. I have to agree with you on most of your points, but every attacked minority need to remember not to anatgonize people who may be a little ignorant but want to help and want to understand. Never allow the pain to override things - it's easy but it is the way to nowhere. I know something about it. I learned the hard way

They sure will!! bottom and top! (jumped again, sorry ) WHAT ARE THE LOWEST AND HIGHEST ON THE ALBUM???? The A2 in Runnin' is the lowest, highest is the F sharp 5 on the final chorus of Broken English. It's a very short note though. Kickin' In, Pop That Lock, and Runnin' all have F5s Edit: There aren't any " super high" notes that he was doing a lot on FYE. I'm happy though, this might be an unpopular opinion I dunno but I felt a lot of them on FYE were juvenile and pointless and just seemed a bit tacked on, like "oh I just came off Idol and they liked my high notes so I'll stick one here". When he does them on Trespassing they're all part of the melody, they add to the intensity and climax of the songs and they're much better phrased :)I understand what you are saying. While I like the high notes in FYE personally, I do think the use on Trespassing is much better integrated and may be better suited for those that thought of him as screaming on the first era. Not the case here, IMHO. And I just love the lower register. I hope Adam gets the word that fans would like more of that integrated into future songs - at least I do:-) RUNNIN...

Guys, I'm sure the message is even if pop music is not your thing, ( for many it is too lite) even if you never listen to it again...it is important to support a brave, talented out artist.
Just like it was important to support other women 40 years ago...even if they did things differently than you would have.
