Apparently there is a connection between music, math, and linguistics (according to my son who studied all three to varying extents). So it could just be something that comes more easily to some people than to others. My tone-deaf DH, for example, has never picked up any foreign languages. I easily learned to read music when I learned to play the flute in school, and I do pretty well with foreign languages. I remember Adam regretting not knowing any foreign language beyond a few words, so maybe that's it.

You said Vancouver does not have the map....but it does. Perhaps you need to go to Ticketmaster.ca rather than .com? also, 720 US Dollar equals 937.69 Canadian Dollar I think she means...you cannot access ....choosing a seat by viewing what is sold and still available. (The way you can see the open spots versus sold seats....the option on the left.) It still opens only for computer selected choice, as I was trying to see open seats last night for Edmonton. The on stage seats were selling for approx. 1,575.00. In Edmonton.... Holy Moly eh! ...and assuming the Vancouver would be the same. Yes, both do. I got my notes mixed up. I estimated Vancouver at about 2/3 sold and Edmonton at about 3/4 sold.

EXCITEMENT!!!!! Does anyone know when her album is out? She has won a while ago She didn't deny the collaboration in an earlier interview as well, but couldn't confirm it... thanks for bringing it over here¹ (Maybe Adam related because he might have a collaboration with Alison) - I saw on MJ's that Alison is still working on stuff and that it appears she might no longer be with Republic (the label The Voice signs people to). Sounds like once again a Voice winner has been screwed over by them. It was clear that something was amiss when she did not sing or appear really in any form on this seasons show. That brief audience hello with Adam there was pretty much a FU to her. Her recent tweets and back to writing in Nashville definitely, imo, signal a start over. An article that gives a bit of info: idolchatteryd.com/alisan-porter-heads-to-nashville-to-finish-post-show-album/

I can't read music, but I am an excellent reader. No dyslexia here! OFC, I have never cared about reading music either!

I can not read music and never played an instrument...not a note. I never studied it. If by "difficulty reading music notations" means looking like this sheet of music below...I have no idea. It means absolutely nothing to me...I say embarrassingly! lol lol...obviously i was talking about musicians or people who play an instrument and/or devoted some time to music.. I suppose I was not clear... I am sure you could learn to read and understand the stuff you posted above after just several hours of study... Learning to read musical notation is like a lot of things in life: You learn it if you have to. Many great musicians throughout history haven't read music. And now, with technology, the skill if even less necessary, especially in popular music. Classical, orchestral and other forms must still us it, but if you can produce good, marketable music without that skill, then it really doesn't matter. I have a good musical ear and can play a little piano and can read simple notation. My old piano teacher said that students with good musical ears are generally not as good at sight reading music as those who don't have as good an ear and must rely on the written notes. At least that was her experience. Bottom line, you learn how if you need to.

That's why keeping music in a school's curriculum is so important. That's why we have to fight to keep the arts in school for students to use as building blocks for rigorous thinking. I hate it when music and art get cut due to budget problems. It's a shame.

But you can...or could a day or two ago...Thursday because I bought Live Nation seats that way...using the seat map and choosing them and paying for them. I know what was meant and at least a couple of days ago, you could. When the reg sale and pre sales start and there is massive volume of buying, they turn that option off but once the pressure is off, they turn that option for seat purchasing back on.

I can sing, read music, play an instrument (no guitar) and dance (to some degree). I'm also very good in math and can speak foreign languages (or at least English and German) rather well. So maybe I'm a freak? Also maybe I should do something again with those music skills except for singing rather loudly during concerts

Having learned to read music when my age was still in single digits, I cannot imagine being a serious musician and NOT reading music. But I realize that is my bias. Many, many musicians do not read music, and Angelina tells me this even includes professional opera singers.
I wonder if it is somewhat of a dying art. Before there were records, tapes, videos and streams, being able to notate and read music was one of the only ways to share and perform music. Now, one only has to have a good ear and listen to a recording of the music to reproduce it. If you are a member of an orchestra (playing one of perhaps 20+ distinct parts or musical lines) and need to learn to play a symphony of 30-60 minutes in length, maybe three symphonies in a concert.... learning them all by ear and remembering them would be a monumental task. As would coordinating all the players in rehearsal.
But, for pop music, folk, rock, etc, where the songs are short and the instrumentation not mandated by the composer, being able to read music rather than learn it from a recording is not a requirement. Adam, and many others, probably find it faster, easier and more convenient to learn by ear than learn to read music. (As mind boggling as that is for this classically trained musician to imagine.)
