i dont know why people keep saying its adam. it's Chris Mann. go to his official site: chrismannmusic (dot) com and you will see its CHRIS MANN singing.
When I heard this the first time I freaked. It sounded a lot like the works of Freddie Mercury in his last remaining years on this earth. I thought I had all Freddie's works and didn't have this. Seeing the clip and thinking of Freddie, it brought a tear to my eye. I contacted Office Max and they quickly confirmed the song and singer .
@cookiebuddies It probably isn't even a real song [yet?] so it may never be released. It may have been a snippet written just for this commercial. The singer, Chris Mann, writes about it in his blog, and how he's flattered to be confused for Adam Lambert. But he says nothing about the song itself or whether it will be in his CD. See my other post for a link to his blog entry.
@cookiebuddies Hey everyone! This is definitely a real song--it wasn't written for the commercial! It's called Lullabye and Chris wrote it with my friends Rick and Deanna that I'm actually in a writing session with right now!!
I can't believe you people want to buy this song. Lol! I looked this up so I can show someone how annoying and stupid this commercial is. Why is it so dramatic? They're going back to school, not off to war. God, cut the cord!
@TheBlackLesbian Chris Mann (the singer) writes about it in his blog. He doesn't say, however, whether it's a full song, or just some lyrics written for this commercial. Nor does he say if or when it will be released. You can read his blog entry here:
@jtjmusic07 wrote "How stupid to use this song in a commercial and to not have the song for sale"
It's common in advertising. Music and lyrics are often written specifically for the ad, but there s nothing beyond it. In other words, there may not be a full song and this 30 second snippet may be all there is. I don't know who the writer is but the singer, Chris Mann, may want to expand it, and include it on his CD. See my other post for a link to Chris' blog entry about this commercial.
This is amazing. . .is there anywhere I can purchase or download it? As for those who want to "rip their ears out" when they hear the song, just turn the channel and stop drinkin' so much HATERADE!!
@KGB5177 The singer, Chris Mann, writes about this ad in his blog but makes no mention of the song being released on his upcoming CD. Given the buzz, you'd think he'd mention it if the song is available. The music and lyrics were probably written just for this ad, and a full song isn't available. Please see my other posts for a link to Chris's blog entry.
He has an amazing voice. Listen to him sing The National Anthem and "O Come All Ye Faithful," and George Michael's "I Want Your Sex."
this doesn't even sound like adam, it sounds more like josh groban........but i know that the person singing is CHRIS MANN, very great voice, we don't hear voices like this quite often.
@justchillin215 The artist's name is Chris Mann, He has a youtube channe or you can follow him on Facebook, twitter and go to his website at chrismannmusic.coml
I didn't really believe it was Adam, however this Chris Mann has another hauntingly beautiful voice. Love me some Adam but have plenty of room in my heart for another talent. Thanks office max for introducing another great voice!
So I guess this is someone named Chris Mann? Don't know him. It kind of sounded like Adam in one of his musicals. This Chris guy has a nice voice. At least the less than 10 seconds I heard in this commercial.
@fabfrugtrina Lol! Yup I already did check him out. I found a blog that he does too. Nice voice. That little clip in that commerical sounded just like a play Adam Lambert did. But hearing his full voice they don't sound a like at all. Like his voice though. I'll explore more - thanks for the search suggestion!
OK, please stop the name calling. It isn't needed! All the point was to inform that it was not Adam Lambert singing this song. And by showing them that it's Chris Mann. We just might have made a few new MANNfans!
I love it! The music choice is so perfect! Chris Mann is my favorite singer and I can't wait til his next album comes out soon!!! I'm going to office max right now :)
haha, i really thought it was Adam Lambert in that little jingle! now after listening to Chris' other songs, i can say their voices are very different. thx for clarifying. **goes back to looking for other Adam Lambert performances**
It's definitely Chris Mann! He sings pop music but he is classically trained as well. Check out his youtube channel Chris Mann Music, he is amazing! He has songs on itunes now and some new stuff coming out soon.
@misskathryn17 Chris Mann is an AMAZING singer. Don't diss him just because he isn't your precious Adam. Check out his videos and his EP. He's amazing.
ummm....my husband & I wrote this jingle with Chris (along with the original song that inspired it) and I can ASSURE you that the stunning voice you hear is Chris Mann!!!
@Wicked8DefyGravity now that's not very nice to call us "idiots." Adam Lambert headlining a sold-out world tour right now. It's a compliment to be compared to him. Perhaps Chris should be nice to the Glamberts cuz we can appreciate beautiful voices.
Hey guys.. it *is* Chris Mann (google Adrian Bradford and Chris Mann) - he's a new artist with a new album coming out (that we're actually working on right now..)
@mrcomputeraddicted He really is. And we're glad you guys all love this commercial! You can all friend him on facebook, I know he'd love it if you did.
Well let's see... Chris Mann posted about Office Max using one of his songs. He joined Office Max's Youtube channel. And I even asked him via Twitter and he said yes! The song used is to be on his upcoming album. I've been following this amazing singer/songwriter for 2+ years since I saw him on tour with Idina Menzel. If you go to his website and listen to the song "If I Can't Make You Happy" Hell, why not tweet him and ask him!
Listen to how the singer breathes before singing a word... And the transition between notes, listen to adam's version of beth and then this... U know what I'm sure this will be disclosed in a near interview
@Marvelous0ne do you know for sure it's Chris Mann? I listened to him and although he does sing similar to Adam his phrasing is more bluesy whereas Adam's much very operatic (as in this short song). We're not trying to give Adam credit for something he didn't do and Adam is waaay busy and I would personally be surprised that he even had the time or desire to do this but it really does sound like him and I as well as most of his fans know his voice very well.
He DID say he did studio work and jingles - lol - suck it Staples, I'm going to Office Max now since they had the good sense to hire Adam Lambert to sing their stupid jingle!
@izzi8282 wrote "thumbs up if you're only watching this cause of maybe-adam."
Well, then you made a mistake because Adam Lambert is not the singer. The singer is Chris Mann, and he writes about this commercial on his blog. He's amused by the confusion, but is flattered because he thinks Adam is amazing. Link is below.
Chris' latest single is a remake of George Michael's "I Want Your Sex."
It does sound like Adam, but I'm not sure - I'm hearing impaired & something dif w/ how Adam uses his voice means I can actually hear him even when he sings high. But THAT quality, whatever it is, was missing from this. So **IF** it is him, then whoever did the vocal direction for it didn't let him do whatever it is he does normally with his voice.
@MaggiesIsland alright then get your coffin ready because i am absolutely positive that the voice in this commercial does not belong to adam lambert but instead to chris mann
