Sorry to butt in here, but I was just watching that performance you linked, and I realized that yeah, it matters, in that the way that I hear the songs changes. When he's singing and is alone, I imagine him singing to and about a man.

And also, it makes some songs change. Like his performance of "Anything You Can Do" with Ruthie Henshall, which he performs such that the song deconstructs masculinity as much as femininity...

Anyway--gah--nobody should be that pretty. He's just... Superman.
