Seoulmate -- you know, your bird looks just as happy as Adam does (it's very cute). Thanks for bringing over the pretty, too!

That was FABULOUS! It's so great to see the whole show in context while it's going on -- whew, it went by so fast! Amazing -- Stay was lovely tonight, too. Trespassing was wonderful and it is nice to see them all have so much FUN on stage. It's infectious.
That was a great treat -- glad I decided to check my twitter feed once more before bed, and I'm glad I can sleep in some tomorrow too... nighty, night everyone! I'll be humming music in my dreams...

I have to start with a disclaimer: I have never really loved Rihanna's voice, so I hadn't heard her version of Stay before I heard Adam's. Perhaps this affected my reaction.
I think Rihanna did a good job with the song and showed some emotion with it--I usually think she sounds a little robotic (perhaps autotune?), although her live singing on this song shows she can sing. I think her voice has a sharp tone to it, like Cassie said, with not a great deal of resonance. This is why I enjoy Adam's singing so much, because he has so much more natural resonance in his voice that it sounds richer and fuller than most other singers. The harmonics also add to his voice and he knows how to play with his tone SO MUCH better than Rihanna or many others do.
I have always truly admired Adam's vocal control (let me tell you, as a fellow singer he makes me jealous because of that!). I believe his use of control, shading, inflection and phrasing really sets him apart from Rihanna as well in this song because she shifts back and forth from a "belting" voice which is sharp and a "little" voice which sounds unsupported. Adam doesn't have that issue, so when he delivers a song it sounds smoother and more melodic in general, as well as evoking emotion without sounding like he's trying.
Okay, so I agree with Cassie here and think Adam's voice sounds like a very rich blended coffee with cream. Rihanna's sounds like sumatra coffee (if you know coffee, you know that sumatra alone is a sharper blend and not too rich or full). Now I want coffee, and I have to go to bed!

Well, I just opened up the twitter feed for the Japan shows and since I don't speak Japanese, I was like this: I think it's time for bed -- I just spent the whole day writing a final paper for my Intro to Mental Health Counseling class and my brain is fried like this: Sigh. I can't wait for more videos! That version of Stay was just amazing... Well, that was fun! If a bit random...LOL! I'm trying to learn from Seoulmate (how did I do, bb?)
