I bought a Bryan Adams Unplugged DVD. I note that it appears that the sings off to the right side of the mic. Appears to not do it occasionally but for every note. Why? Anything to do with his raspy voice?

Wow, I *love* the bridge to this song, which is a favorite. In fact, Bryan Adams is one of my favorite artists. I went to a concert 25 years ago that my girlfriend ruined for me by getting mad at something totally stupid and uncalled for. I hope to see him again someday. With a brand new girlfriend.

Example of his singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTdD1QqsrfI

I don't think its anything other than circumstances. It could've been the lights or something.

No, it's not an accident, I saw other footage where he is doing it. I have an entire concert DVD where he does it every song.

I agree, Bill:

He's definately singing to the side of the mic. Intentional? Probably.

Nice performance. Thanks for sharing.

he does it to control volume. when he is pushing out a harder louder note he moves off axis . its similar to some people moving the mic further away from their mouths when tney are going for higher notes in a song that they have to belt out.
