Though I know I am not as knowledgeable about classical vocal technique as some of you here, I certainly understand and hear the seamless register switching, effortless blending and unique phrasing that are a large part of what help Adam to stand apart from other pop or rock vocalists.
Does this enhance my enjoyment of his performances?
A thousand times, yes!
Do I believe that the tone and purity of his voice would have pulled me in without the years of technical training?
A thousand times yes again!
His voice often brings me to tears and propels me from this world. I often find myself lost in his vocals, unsure of the passage of time.
His is not the only voice that does this to me. The others range from having some technical training to none at all.
That being said, his is at the top of this list now, and may very well be decades from now.
I don’t know.
Is it his training that has elevated his voice to this level for me?
Again, I don’t know.
But, it doesn’t really matter.
I am in love (and in lust) with his voice.
Love and lust don’t need reasons to be. They just are.It is all out of my control.
But, at this stage of my life I have learned that I love for keeps.
Flings and frivolous affairs have long since ceased to thrill me.
I am on this ride for the long haul and don’t really care how I got on.
I want to marry this post. <3
I'm hardly an expert but I guess I'm one of those who are knowledgable in technique. But your words show that all the musical dissection of why Adam is such a skilled vocalist doesn't really matter (although it's fun). The point is, he has something so special and you can feel it in your soul when he sings.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I wanted to chime in on the Rolling Stone review. It irked me and my immediate reaction was "how dare you not give this alien unicorn's amazeballs dvd/cd a 5 star review, are you fucking deaf??!!" But then I realized, I don't give a shit what reviewers think of him. I'm not basing my decision of whether or not I like someone on the opinions (NOT FACTS) of a paid writer that brings their own personal bias to it. If I like something, I like it and fuck those who don't. I'm beyond proud to tell anyone I love Adam and he's my favorite singer. Of course I want everyone to love and appreciate how unique and once in a lifetime talented he is, but not everyone is going to and you know what? Their loss.
Susie - That picture is STUNNING!!!
Cassie - I'm anxious to hear your take on his Idol performance. Looking forward to reading about it in the vocal masterclass thread.
