Hi, Cassie. I'm kinda set in my ways. I haven't had to download a different browser for anyplace else I visit on the interwebs, and am not quite ready to do it now. But, it's okay, and I promise not to cry or whine. I'll try to follow the discussion on this topic without opening the links and see how that goes.

Oh, you don't know what you are missing. Take a walk on the wild side. It is always good to have a back-up browser.

The links are working for me in Firefox but you don't get any arrows; Just click on the blue. Thanks so much for doing this Nationalglampoon.

Nationalglampoon is using the spoiler function to hide the details of each link. It makes the post easier to read and you can click on only what you want to see. However, if this creates a problem for some visitors, maybe he could delete the spoiler function and show the complete text and notations etc? I for one, would not mind if the post gets long. It is all interesting.

Wow -- this is an awesome thread! Thank you so much, nationalglampoon, for putting this together. I'm not a music expert, but I have a basic ability to read music, and I think the analyses that you have put together are fascinating (and easy to understand). Your efforts are very much appreciated.

And also a "thank you" to Cassie for her added insights.

So beyond awesome!!! I'm loving the long posts; to have all these cherry-picked moments presented like this. So wonderful that both Cassie & Nationalglampoon are willing to share their knowledge with us.

Hah, the only "downside" for me is, that I fell into the rabbit hole; gotta rewatch some GNT-shows... LOL.

Thanks everyone for the nice words Just added Shady chords, with chord boxes at the top for guitarists.

This is, for me, the most wonderful "find" I've seen on any Adam fanboard, bar none. I don't care (much) what Adam wears, how he styles his hair, whether or not he can dance, etc. etc. etc.

What the man can do with his voice is like vocal porn, nationalglampoon. He's a force of nature, and his singing voice is so rare it's almost like a freak of nature.

There are some big jumps where Adam goes down by almost an octave from Aó3 to hit a Bó2

That's just one of the things that's astonished me from the beginning - the way he can jump up or down an octave, cleanly, and land right in the middle of the note.

In the final bar Adam scales seamlessly through his passagio from an Fò4 up an octave to the climactic Fò5!

So often when I listen to his live recordings I'm asking myself, "Where are the breaks in his passagio? Where?"

Adam usually hits just one F5 and/or G5 on this passage. Here there are EIGHT F5's and THREE G5's! Another passage a soprano would be proud to sing, all in full voice!

Oh my! Holy shit. I tried to keep up with most of the youtubes from the Glam Nation Tour, though sometimes I might only single out a favorite song or two. Somehow I missed this performance. Now I'm speechless all over again. When I say I'm sitting here with my jaw on the floor, it's hardly hyperbole. That is simply one of the most astonishing things I've heard, even from Adam.

Thank you more than I can say for this perfect contribution to Adam's fandom. It feels like Christmas and my birthday rolled into one.

His control is just out of this world, even when it comes to awkward interval jumps like that!

I've tried to work out where his passagio is. I just can't! Listen to the verse of Sure Fire Winners and he goes from an A♭3 to a C♭4 without a break. Surely his passagio can't be in the fifth octave so I think he must just disguise it incredibly well!

Glad you're enjoying it :D Just added another, maybe you've seen it before maybe not...
