I don't think Adam well be in a band any time soon lol. In Sam Smith in a band? No Adam is a solo star. And that is they way it should stay. Never seen Sam Smith rock but I guess it is possible. But I don't think Adam has to do something because Sam does. Adam could still be a solo act/star with a band. |

For a professional opera singer? All in a day's work. For many pop singers? Very difficult. For the everyday, untrained singer, impossible. Since most of us don't routinely listen to highly trained opera singers, it is damned impressive, isn't it? (I am talking about not only sustaining a note for 17 seconds, but sustaining it with gorgeous tone, perfect placement, consistent pitch, and consistent volume and strength.) Not so knowledgable on vocal techniques. But Adam did say he got training in his teenage years. Could Adam do all this without the training he got? How much of what Adam is doing with Queen God Given Talent. And how much of it is training. Adam has had a LOT of training. He started voice lessons at the age of 10, and continued all thru his teen years. He continued to work with coaches even as an adult, and still does. He may be singing pop and rock, but his training was that of a classical singer. He studied a variety of styles with different teachers. Angelina Kalahari (for newbies, she is a highly regarded opera singer and voice teacher who is also an Adam devotee) has remarked to me many times that his technique is very impressive, and she uses him as a model with her students. She has sung with some of the best in the world, and considers Adam a peer, vocally. One time when I was raving about something phenomenal that he did, her response was "But that's what WE do!", meaning that what he was doing was what she would expect of such a highly trained professional. She has also said that if he had chosen to pursue a career in opera, he would have been a renowned international star. How much of what Adam does is God Given Talent? Let's put it this way. God gave him an instrument the equivalent of a Stradivarius violin. He has the raw material to produce gorgeous sound. But, without the excellent training and dedicated study and practice, he would not be able to USE that instrument to execute those amazing sounds. |

girldrummer I think Cassie would agree with you seeing her post 8h ago in this thread, if I'm not misinterpreting. Talking to my vocal teacher recently (classical singer) she said exactly what you said. My teacher did a performance a week ago where she sang 50 min strait and then another 30min later onand stated that in opera you have your part and you have breaks when the others sing, but with this is one back to back and that that was demanding. So Adam said Saulis name ON STAGE?!!! I'm about to catch up on this concert. ETA: Adam sang "Helsinki found me sombody to love"?!!! I'M DEAD!!! Was he looking at Sauli when he sang baby? So happy you got to enjoy the concert Momtomany!  Since the Amas have been mentioned here and Adams has praised both singers...I liked Kelly and Pinks duett...I thought they worked together and didn't try to outshine each other and I thought vocally they did an awesome job, both of them...

cassie My husband (who has been singing all his life, on stage and off) has just last year taken up serious vocal lessons. Every time he describes a new technique he learns, or a new way of holding his body, or using his voice I think that yes, I have seen Adam do this too. It is fascinating to follow that journey a bit, gives me a taste of how it must have been for Adam. Also: my husband was RAVING about the QAL show that he saw. He is/was a bit sceptical of Adam, because he doesn't really like his music and probably also because he doesn't get the obsession (which is fine). But after QAL I overheard him talking to somebody and he was praising Adam, his technique, his interpretation and the fact that he is a 'total vocal show-off' (and my husband added: but if I could sing that well I would totabsolutely do that too).  Also: I have listened to Bo Rhap in a live version by Freddie again recently, sung at the end of a show. It is a-ma-zing, but you can clearly hear Freddie adjusting his voice, the melody and everything, just to be able to get through the song after having given it his all in the songs before. That is a great technique in itself (because a loooooot of singers nowadays just power through, making it either impossible to listen to because they haven't got the stamina anymore, or they destroy their voice). But it made me realize how amazing it is that Adam just keeps the same intensity and clarity and everything throughout the show, all the way to the end. We are so lucky to have both these incarnations of Queen.

I have seen a few things misunderstood, in the excitement of the moment, when I actually saw the vidoes Adam did not say what people thought he said.
Is there a video of the song he said this in?
BTW, I love the Sauli/Adam combo so would love if this really happened.
