I can't believe this is happening! After 6 years of following Adam and being puzzled as to why the rest of the world can't see his phenomenal talent they are at last getting it, at least in the UK. Now I'm actually happy that Adam did not have great success right from the start. If he had reached superstar status from his first album he may not have had the time or inclination to devote so much time to Queen and we would never have got to hear him sing these gorgeous songs. It seems impossible for him to get better but every time he performs he does!! Success is so worth waiting for! There are still people to win over. One of my daughters told me the other day he was fading away!! She has no knowledge of his touring with Queen outside of NA or the NYE gig. So I pointed out that he was the most googled person in the UK for the first 2 days of this year. She then said well he needed Queen to make it and couldn't have achieved that success on his own. There may be truth in that but I can't wait for this new album with the proper promotion to take the world by storm and turn Adam into a legend. I'm almost embarrassed to repeat this but when I pointed out that no one else has the range to cover the Queen catalogue she suggested Sam Smith!!! She thinks his range is just as good. I must be a failure as a parent. LOL Sam Smith? Perhaps you failed as a parent by not having her hearing checked as a child because I think she may have a hearing impairment.

Im afraid many of us failed as mothers...I know I did - one likes EDM and the other loves rap, plus anything associated with me is "not for them"...and I tried very hard for many years, piano lessons, concert subscriptions for children and all for nothing...whatever...as long we are all happy...

I'm not familiar with Sam Smith's work. I listened to a couple of songs..... well, okay, a bit of a couple of songs. Not impressed. Sounded like a hundred other lounge singers I've heard. But, that's not the point of my post.
People rave about range. But, then, some folks say that Adam doesn't have the range of so-and-so. What???? I think I finally figured it out. Most folks do not have perfect pitch. Nor do they go to their home keyboards to check out what note the singer just hit. They just know it a) sounds high, b) sounds powerful and c)sounds really difficult to sing, like the singer is pulling a hamstring in order to hit the note.
When Adam hits high notes, often they don't "sound" high, because they fit seamlessly within the melody line. They don't "look" high, because his face and body show no strain at hitting them. He could as easily be singing notes an octave lower from the look of him. They sound powerful, but in a different way from many rock singers. They are powerful because of resonance and ring, not because of brute force. And they sound effortless. We almost never hear them break, hear them squawk, hear them sound more like a scream than a note, hear them crackle or fry. An E5? Piece of cake. That's how it sounds, at least.
Therefore, to many, Adam's voice does not sound like he is singing that high, or that his range is exceptional. I remember seeing a clip for a TV show where a weight lifter was advised by the director to struggle, groan, grunt and grimace. Otherwise, the audience wouldn't believe the barbell was actually heavy. Same idea with Adam's range.
