NoAngel @noangelpf Adam mention RT @areyouentwise Scissor Sisters Talk Gay Censorshp: 'Imagine If Justin Bieber &Justin Timberlake Kissed' www.entertainmentwise.com/photos/76927/1/Scissor-Sisters-Talk-Gay-Censorship-Imagine-If-Justin-Bieber-And-Justin-Timberlake-KissedScissor Sisters Talk Gay Censorship: 'Imagine If Justin Bieber And Justin Timberlake Kissed' Frontman Jake Shears also admitted that the group's flamboyant image may well have held them back in the US. He and bandmate Ana Matronic were discussing the censorship of Adam Lambert's same-sex kiss at the 2009 American Music Awards. Ana told the Daily Telegraph: "It is much easier to swallow the pill of gay rights when it is packaged in the form of a pretty girl. "I think at the heart of it lies a fear of male sexuality, and especially male homosexuality, that is threatening in many ways." Of the Lambert incident, she said: "It was crazy. On morning television they showed the famous kiss between Britney Spears and Madonna but when they switched to Adam Lambert, they blurred it out. So it's fine to show hot chicks kissing but if it's a couple of guys, it's going to ruin our children."

Following a suggestion by cassie, I did an autotune demo of Adam's voice which she thinks you'll all get a kick out of  picosong.com/wfps/Included not-autotuned versions too. You can hear how the autotune just doesn't know what to do with all the little nuances Adam puts in there while singing, like little grace notes, vibrato, the short runs, and the switches up into head voice. All the singers who really rely on it have to sing without any of these nuances, kind of robotic like, for the autotune to work, but they really bring the melodies to life as Adam always shows so masterfully! Oh and fun fact, I had to set the autotune level to "heavy" before I even got a result! And these were just spur of the moment acapellas!  That's interesting... I take it the first one was on autotune and the second one was not. Adam's voice on autotune was actually distort his voice. It sounded weird, like robotic sounds |

I was just watching the livestream, and I'm sure it's been discussed in detail in the concert thread, but basically Adam couldn't hear himself properly and he messed up his key and as a result lost some lyrics. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think it is any kind of big deal. And I don't really think the audience noticed it as much as hardcore stans did. But still, I'm sure Adam was pretty annoyed. By the next song, everything was brilliant again  Honestly it wasn't a really big thing. Shit happens, and it was pretty much a hot mess. Thank goodness for the divas and Brian because they carried the song. He was communicating with the sound folks and stopping and starting singing thru the song, but was laughing and seemed to be having as much fun with is as the situation allowed. You could tell he was frustrated, but then when they made the jokes about the 6 different keys after the song it was hilarious. He's a pro and handled the whole thing very well. Even if he was really mad, the casual observer wouldn't have suspected a thing. I know I am putting on my own spin from my experience as a singer and performer. But, IMO, it was a BIG thing to Adam. BIG. From the ustream, I could hear Adam struggling. He did seem to be treating it lightly, and he did make a hilarious joke of it afterwards. But, remember a recent interview where he was complimented on how cool he was during Idol performances and he clarified that there were times when he was really nervous or rattled? Then said, "If you didn't see it? That's show business. I've learned to put on a game face." Or something like that. To me, that was Adam with his game face and positive aura firmly and intentionally in place. While performing you just don't let them see anything but what you want them to see. You are never sick, never tired, never nervous, never bored, never pissed. (Except that, Underneath, you are.) |

Thanks for sharing. Sounds legit to me. Well, it does make sense that Adam would have his own sound guy for a series of concerts like he just did. And since that was the last show, and he's had issues before last night, a perfect time to can his ass. For someone like Adam who is such a perfectionist, it must be maddening to know that his audience isn't hearing the best from him. It's one thing to fuck up a bit here and there-- mistakes happen. But to make it so that Adam completely messes up an entire song-- unforgivable. What I can't believe is that we are such bad ninjas that we haven't ID'd the sound guy and been able to see him in all of the sound check and show vids. It I had to guess, I would say that he does (did?) have his own sound person. And to dispell yet another rumor - when I talked to Tommy McFly last night he said he loved the show but was disappointed that Adam didn't do an encore. So for everyone who says that the times for the headliner in the radio show are "fixed" and can't be extended, I call the BS flag, LOL. However, I don't think he would have had another song to perform that they'd all rehearsed before.
Just checking cuz I'm not sure -- has the band played Runnin'? |

Still trying to catch up and I just watched this.
He's pissed, he stops singing, then he laughs, come on man, turn the keyboards up! HE IS PISSED.

Cassie, I agree that it was big to Adam. Which is why he fired the sound guy.
I was saying it wasn't something fans should worry about in terms of Adam's reputation or career, lol. One icky performance amongst hundreds and hundreds of fantastic ones is no big deal in the grand scheme of things and it won't "hurt" Adam in any way.
