While I like Adam first GNT which I attended twice , I hope his next tour won't be having any stage antics like the Fever kiss , and less interaction with the band and the dancer because he is a solo artist , some how the GNT give me a feeling that it is a group performance not a concert . I bet no one can name any band member from a Lady gaga concert or a Justin beber concert .IMO , that is the kind of concert Adam should do. sometime Adam do thing strangely , like the AI 10 performance of Aftermath , it would be so much better if it is only He and the guitar aka the acoustic version , but He just have to bring the whole band to the stage , i think if he can , he will bring the dancer too . I cant say it is wrong , but it is not a good thing when all the people aroud you is your friend , it is not good for showbusiness as well . I have to smile. Everyone here at Adamtopia is here because they LOVE Adam Lambert like crazy. That is the commonality that brings us all together. And no matter what else we like about Adam, I think almost all of us first were  by the voice, and just had to hear more. But, once you get past that, we are a very diverse group of folks. Some like to listen to hard rock -- and their favorite performances are when Adam blows the roof off a classic rock song. Others like current pop and dance music, and love it when Adam gets them dancing their fannies off. A few have their iPods filled with jazz and/or classical (me among them) and the only pop/rock on the iPod is ADAM. I love his voice so much I will listen to just about any genre, just to hear it. As for performance styles, some like it when Adam fronts for a wicked rock band. Some enjoy the precise and sensual choreography. Some are partial to the ballads with minimal accompaniment. Some enjoy the provocative moves, the kisses, the writhing on the stairs, the licking of the microphone. Some think it would be heaven on earth to have just Adam with a piano and maybe an upright bass and drums, doing jazz, R&B, and songs from musical theater (yup, that would be me, too. What I wouldn't give to have been in that Upright Cafe audience.) And there are one or two of us who would be thrilled beyond all reason if he sang opera just once for us. The power and allure of Adam is that he is soooo talented, so expert, and so uniquely able to cross genres, he brings together fans from many musical backgrounds. We may not agree on a lot of things, but we are united in our appreciation of Adam.  So well said again cassieI love good songs, good singers I dont care which genre (well maybe not country and rap but I do like some songs from these genres), and Adam covering in such a unique way almost all of them is mind blowing to me. |

Also just a FYI if anyone is having trouble.. I couldn't get link to work using Mac Safari, but it's working now in Firefox. bit.ly/hXaOH7I installed firefox (just for Adam) but couldn't get the Media player plug-in to work, oh well... |

Uploaded by gatagov on May 27, 2011 PRO Новости Oh, this makes me smile. Have no idea what they are saying, but so happy to see Adam get a star's reception at the airport. Lots of young guys in the crowd, too. And to see him so un-star-like in a cap, t-shirt and jeans. Our boy next door. Knowing the next time they will see him, he will be the sexy rawk god. Fun! |

Just because there is NOTHING GOING ON, right now, as we all eagerly await news of the concert, this just appeared on my Google Alert. An article on the re-release of the 1957 recording of Brigadoon. Seems strange to actually cover that in a news release, but even stranger is this line from the review. "Frank Porretta's operatic tenor is featured in the elegant "Come to Me, Bend to Me," a version you can compare with Adam Lambert's over the top take on the tune ." What????? Adam performed in Brigadoon in Texas back in 2004, for Theatre Under the Stars. His "over the top" performance is only on YouTube, never released or anything. I would think that only Adam fans would even be aware of it. Yet, he is mentioned in a Seattle review. That cracks me up. The power of Adam's name in any story. But, the good thing is that some readers may read it and say, "Adam Lambert sang in Brigadoon? I want to hear that." New converts? Read more: www.seattlepi.com/default/article/Music-Review-Brigadoon-Studio-Cast-Recording-1399645.php#ixzz1Ncmjekel" I'm confused tho, why would Adam's version be considered over the top? The writer says it like it's a bad thing, unlike the "elegant" version he's writing about? LOL so random, anyway. |

The writer says it like it's a bad thing, unlike the "elegant" version he's writing about? LOL so random, anyway. I have NO IDEA. So, I found the recording the reviewer was talking about. It is much faster, much less tender and heartfelt, with a heavier tenor sound. Adam just floats his version, taking all the time in the world. The only thing I can think of is that Adam absolutely milks that high sustained note. It is clearly a virtuoso moment. He is showing off, just cuz he can (and cuz it works in the context of the song.) That sustain is designed to have people gasping and shaking their heads in wonder. Maybe OTT means showing off? Here is the 1957 version. Which do you prefer? |
