I read through a bunch of posts about the Boston show here at Atop and over at AO, and I'm surprised by the difference in the tone of the posts here vs. those on AO. Many of the posters here railed so much about sound problems, or uneven performances by Adam's band and backup singers, and said hardly anything at all about the crowd's reaction - that I got the impression that the show was a hot mess. The posters over on AO mentioned that the sound mixing was off, but reported that Adam gave a great performance, and the crowd noisily adored him.
I'm sure everyone who posted tried to give a true picture of what they saw and heard. And I know it's not unusual for different people to see the same show and come away with different impressions.
My point is, unless we ourselves see or hear something Adam does, and can judge for ourselves how it went, we shouldn't either go into "sky is falling" mode when we hear or read a report indicating that something was less than perfect, or be overly ecstatic when we hear or read about something going well.
Clearly, some things about Adam's Boston show were very, very good while others demonstrate need for some improvements. The problems aren't dire, and Adam has had a LOT of success this week. And his success will continue to grow. Just like we want it to. The perpetual glass half full VS. glass half empty debate  |

Alright, I'm not a prude, but am I the only one that's a bit icked out by Reina's constant boobage? I mean it's just breast, but when your boobs are that big, should u try to wear clothes where they hold them up, and cover them a bit more. She keep wearing clothes where her boobs are almost always spilling out. :-/ I envy her, being a 'big chested-girl' myself I tend to cover them, but LOVE (and envy) the confidence of women who don't :D |

Whew! Just caught up with all the pages. Forgive me for chiming in late about the sound issues. But gotta say: It just ain't their fault. If the keys or the guitar or the backing vocals are too loud, don't blame the players or singers. They don't have anything to do with the sound balance in this type of situation.
As for the pitch problems, glad some people don't hear them. It would surely make the performance more enjoyable if I didn't, or if I could ignore them. But, have you ever tried to ignore fingernails on chalkboard? Oh, I guess peeps don't know that metaphor these days. What about biting down on tin foil when you have a filling and getting a jolt? Or a caterwauling baby in the seat behind you on the plane. Painful. Cringe-worthy. Impossible to ignore.
With the girls, I don't think it is a matter of vocal technique or good musical ear. They are total professionals with lots of experience. It is almost impossible to sing on key if you cannot hear your own voice or if you cannot hear the instruments or cues to give you the key. How can you hit the bullseye if it is dark and you cannot see the gun sights or the target, or the results from your shots. You just have to make your best guess.
I cannot think of anything more frustrating for a singer. It is totally out of their control. When it happens in performance what options do you have? Not sing? Start over? Those are not really options. You have to plow through and smile ever broader, dance ever more fiercely, and hope. If your singing is your trademark, your reason for being up on that stage, you feel so frustrated you want to cry or just walk off the stage.
Kudos and hugs for the band, the vajayjays and Adam for rolling with it and continuing to give their all and then some. No criticism from me. And no talk about firing anyone except the sound man, who they didn't employ in the first place.

Wondering if what WE heard on the 30 min video, instruments really loud, is what Adam hears in his one ear monitor? Def not blaming band, just curious. |

The sound engineer is supposed to put the feed in the monitor according to the specifications of the players and singers. They can screw up and provide too much or too little. There can be static, white noise or feedback. They can short out. Or only certain parts of the instruments and voices can short out or be too loud/soft. Very tricky. |

Mys*&@^#r: I agree. And the date on the link shows 5/16 just a day after release. SO, the WHOLE week is a loss for first week sale stats for BO on AO then! Yes, inexcusable is putting it mildly! I would like to express my disappointment but don't know where to direct it. Perhaps I will visit AO and use the RCA feedback link? hub.sonymusic.com/about/feedback.php |
