There are those who don't like "straight acting" guys because they think they're just acting straight when they're really not, but then there are guys who don't like guys who are "gay acting" because they're just acting gay when they're really not. <BR/><BR/>I am by no means the straightest "acting" guy in the world, but I'm not acting how gay I am.

I dunno. I ...OK OK my original comment was harsh. I dunno. I am just one of those gays who is not as attracted to those who "look gay" (a problem for my love life, I know, cause all the easily pegged ones can be discounted right away). I know, I know, I'm a traitor. And while Cheyenne only looks a little bit gay, it is a factor in my attraction, or lack thereof. Maybe it's also that I'm as tall as he is, so that's not all that impressive to me. <BR/><BR/>I like him fine. I love that he's a hunky out gay actor who is successful. But I just don't LOVE. HIM. I warmed up to him a little more watching the clip with the kid, and the love medley clip again. But it's hard to truly love him singing that song, cause it invites - indeed, necessitates - comparisons to Ewan in MR! and just about anyone would lose that fight. I prefer Ewan's rendition by a healthy margin. <BR/><BR/>Cheyenne just has one of those teen-poppy boy band voices, and that's not my thing. It's very commercially friendly, but I prefer smoother, gentler, more soulful. I do love the tortured souls. <BR/><BR/>But still, he's adorable, and I'm sure I'd warm up to him more seeing him live onstage, and if I met him and he liked me, I'd totally do him. I'm just saying, he's not my favorite actor/singer. He's not Ewan, Gael, Jake, Rufus, etc.<BR/><BR/>(sorry) : (adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-86232460024087252852008-06-19T17:37:00.000-04:002008-06-19T17:37:00.000-04:00I know the feeling of losing a dvd you love.

NO DVD. !!!!<BR/><BR/>oh and p.s. <B>adam</B> I never claimed Cheyenne did not "look gay" but I don't even know what that totally means or why people still care about those descriptives --especially gay people. i keep hoping we're past the days of "straight acting" being a compliment. How about everyone just acts like themselves and quits worrying abouthow people might categorize them. Cheyenne Jackson is a leading man. That's my entire point with complaining that Hollywood hasn't really snatched him up. Gay, straight, bi, asexual whatever. He's a leading man. some people are and some people aren't and he is.

I found myself watching the videos (loved the ELM parody too) and found myself suddenly wishing I was a gay man for about five minutes.<BR/><BR/>I hope you find your DVD Nat. I'd loan you my extra VHS copy if I could get it too you on time but - you don't really need to watch it again, do you? You've seen it a thousand times and already have it all memorized and written in your head, right? You just need to put fingers to keyboard...<BR/><BR/>I hope you are feeling better by the way. I'll be in Massachusetts for the weekend and am psyched that the next installment is coming.

And likewise, who'd a thunk that movie (I was an ONJ fan but that movie was almost painful, in an endearing way, to sit through) could produce a stage spectacle so giddy, silly, absurd and yet - oddly touching? I wish I had the opportunity to see it.<BR/><BR/>The problem with Cheyanne going to film however (as much as he may deserve it) is that something will be lost - that wonderful singing voice! And, is he too "out" in a Hollywood obsessed with capturing the wallets of adolescent boys who are presumed to be straight?<BR/><BR/>Thanks also for that second clip as it included Lily's "Marisa Tomei tribute" and Marisa's reaction (I just love both women); I loved also that Lily acknowledged how wacky it was that a bad film had been turned into an award-nominated musical.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-8128103562396940462008-06-19T15:04:00.000-04:002008-06-19T15:04:00.000-04:00Don't you keep your DVDs all organized on a shelf ...Don't you keep your DVDs all organized on a shelf somewhere? Come on, Nathaniel. You are too OCD to lose DVDs.<BR/><BR/>Truth be told, I'm not actually over the moon about Cheyenne Jackson or his voice. Sure he's cute and tall and manly, but I'm gonna have to agree with the commenter who scoffed at your assertion that he doesn't look gay. He's manly-gay, sure, but still very gay. And voice and demeanor are a little too boy-band-ish for my taste. <BR/><BR/>Loved him in <EM>United 93</EM>, though.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.com
