Adam Lambert - Twitter party - Transcription complete

Adam:
- a lil music education moment: FALSETTO. It's not full, belted out chest voice. It's small, light pretty head voice. Widely misunderstood. :)
- ...not to b rude - but it's so often used to describe my voice but I hardly ever use my falsetto. Jus' sayin'
- One of my fav examples of a wicked falsetto is "Kiss" by Prince. A full tenor chest voice is "Open Arms" by Journey. get the distinction?

go4itanywy @adamlambert what is it called when the voice "shakes" a little on high notes?)
@go4itanywy that's called Vibratto. ;)


“@lestermendez: @adamlambert BUT, when you do sing falsetto, its pure and utter win!” hahah thanks Lester!!
@adamlambert BUT, when you do sing falsetto, its pure and utter win!

nrhgardner naw I don't do much of a mix. (prob would be 'safer' for my voice, but..)
@adamlambert You're belts are mixed though aren't they? As in not all out chest? Sounds craaaazzzy whatever it is.)

Haha this is fun. All you singers know exactly what I'm talking about.

PersianGlamDr on the last album i used falsetto in Broken Open, A Loaded Smile and the "eyes baby eyes" part of Music Again.
@adamlambert in which one of ur sings u've used FALSETTO?!:D)


CazGlambert_ only when it's high and really light. If its powerful and loud it's called a "belt" "full" or "chest voice".
@adamlambert I THOUGHT FALSESETTO WAS WAN U WENT REALLY HIGH.)

@AhhhAdam yes. Good example. The "nervous" line. But the big "look right thru me aaaaand..." was a belt.
@adamlambert And on "nervous" in Mad World.)

- BTIKM is def not falsetto. It's fuckin high! Def tricky. :) but it feels so great to wail that out. Cathartic.
- The difference isn't so much about the note being hit, it's HOW it's being hit. Bass/alto/tenor/soprano are vocal ranges.
- Ok. Nuff of all that. I'm such a nerd.
- But if u wanna hear more great falsetto check out Jeff Buckley, Matthew Bellamy of Muse and Radiohead. :)

@JoStBeans haha yes. The BeeGees sang most of their tunes in Falsetto.
@JoStBeans: @adamlambert Bee Gees!)

@adamsminion ok! A bridge is the middle section of a song that is diff from the rest. the bridge in BTIKM starts w "I get kinda dark"...
@adamlambert At your next class can you explain what a bridge, hook, etc are? Pros talk about the bridge in BTIKM. What is it? *feelin dumb*)

@adamsminion a hook is the catchy part that gets stuck in your head. Usually they're in a chorus, and sometimes they're elsewhere.

@adamsminion the hook in WWFM is the line "whattaya want from me". The guitar plays it at the beginning and it's in a post-chorus.

Another GREAT falsetto singer is Justin Timberlake. He uses it all the time. And he's real good at it.

@AidanMcEwan middle 8 and bridge are the same thing. Two different names. :)
@adamlambert Thought that was the Middle 8?)

Another example of falsetto is the incredibly sexy jam "Hypnotize U" by N.E.R.D. Pharrell werks that vocal out!
It Will Rain by Bruno Mars is in chest voice. The only part that's falsetto is the OOOOh's. He has got one hell of a voice! Big fan.

@nieceyE another interchangeable term. Means the same thing.
@adamlambert What's the difference between a run and a riff?)

@allakovalkova yeah Mika!! Another good example of falsetto.
@adamlambert And what do you think about Mika's voice?)

@reevecarney thanks Reeve!
@adamlambert I'm with you. Bruno is great. And so are you.)
