Well, *he's* gay, too. That makes it really interesting . . . XD (Not that I should talk, since I also find him teh hawt, utterly hopeless as that is.)
RE: live vs. studio, I've known several musicians, and they all affirm that they're *very* different types of performances. Some folks are good at one, some at another. I know one of my fave regional bands, the Clumsy Lovers are vastly better live (though their new "Smart Kid" album finally starts to approach the quality of their live work).
Naaah, not for squeeage. I just get friends teasing me sometimes for being such a fan, commenting on the hotness levels, etc. ("You know he's gay, right?") Well, duh. He's also *married* (or at least civil-partnered), which is equally noteworthy.
I mean, it's not like anyone ever thinks about *seriously* hooking up with the object of celebrity squeeage. Well, not anyone remotely sane, anyway. (Why am I suddenly thinking about that creepy Brent Spiner stalker lady from "Trekkies"? o_O)
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.
Oh, no, I get that. And agree. But we were talking about people teasing her for being attracted to a gay man, and I was wondering why his being gay mattered since it's not like celebrity crushes are ever expected to come to anything.
