http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/03/american-idol-w.html i came upon this article today... it poses some very interesting points and questions that i've never thought of.
I agree with one of the comments: It's true and sad at the same time. -It's a shame that for the "look in the contestant's life" clips they don't (want to) show same sex significant others. -Straight pop stars has never prevented gays from having fantasies
That does raise some interesting points... on a side note, Adam Lambert would make an amazingly hot girl, lol.
i love american idol and have found myself slowly falling in love with alexis i think it is true tho straight pop stars are more appealing
Because people are afraid to be openly gay. How many gay pop stars do you know of? There are like... none. Okay, so we have the lead singer of 'Savage Garden'. The entirety of 'Le Tigre'. And Lance Bass now. Those are the best well known ones I can come up with Even then, the only truly well know one is Lance Bass... and that's after he was in the closet for years on end. If we didn't have homophobia and if we had gay pop stars from the beginning, then they'd be just as appealing as the straight ones.
Clay Aiken? i dont know how much of a "pop star" he really is, and i don't listen to his music, but i know he's pretty famous.
Will Young, Sam Sparro, Jake Shears from scissor sisters. I couldn't care less to be honest...even if i were straight. I like music too much to stop listening just because i find out that person likes to have sex with pineapples!
Elton John,George michael,K.D Lang theres lots and im not to sure about that miley Cyrus i think that christian thing just a cover up...joke
i hadnt seen this article but its awesome, only reason ive caught ne of AIs shows this season is to check out adam. they say theres pics surfaced of him kissing guys and hes probly gay? hell ya. best news in long time. the AI machine needs to burn in hell tho for makin them all stay closeted if they dont want to
Adam is so overrated. Kris is so totally sizzling hot, and I don't care that he is religious, was a missionary *oooh missionary*, he's married and thus probably straight. He's just too damn hot. Sorry. Hehe.
Some people... just don't realize some people are gayyyy. We all do because we have amazing gaydar. But if they want to stay in the closet for more teeny bopper girls to fall in love with them and text in their vote with their parents money, so be it. I would want to be famous too if I was in their position.
i personally dont care if their straight or gay or what i dont like them goign on tv and getting all weepy eyed then they geet a record deal and relase a really pop'y kind of song that sound like crap and people like it even though its bad. sorry about the mini rant its just these shows jsut annoy me, i remember in uk on pop idol years ago when will young came out that was a big backlash then load of rubbish really people still buy his songs allthough they all sound the same anyway go gaydar i suppose lol i really lost the point of this rant haha
Oh and how could we forget Canadian Idol's Theo Themes? Listen closely to the interview at the end: [youtube]huecVWc3uFs[/youtube]
