About time! Gee.... I knew it foreeeeeeever he couldn't possibly be straight... Too bad he was in the closet all these years. It's too bad people still care that much
I don't think it is much of a surprise
I knew he was gay all along.
Must be weird for him to write all those sexy lyrics about women all the time

Are you aware that most pop singers, especially ones that have the very cookie-cutter type hits, do not write their own lyrics?Originally Posted by Trouts mom

And yes, I don't know how anyone would be surprised.

I agree, why is this even news, who cares.Originally Posted by icklemiss21

And so pop music has been since there was pop music. At one time, Brill Building had the largest group of writers, including Neil Sedaka, Carly Simon, Neil Diamond, James Taylor and others too numerous to mention, next largest was Phil Spector, who probably started the cookie cutter clone singersOriginally Posted by strange_wings

Ricky Martin's shocking announcement isn't all that surprising to anyone who gagged and choked through his angst filled scenes in General Hospital.

Yep! It goes quite far back - to all forms of pop music (think a lot of those 40s hits). The exception, even in pop, is found in those categorized as singer-song writers. They're often the ones that can play multiple instruments, understand music theory/went to school for it, and sell their songs to other pop singers.Originally Posted by sk_pacer

Aaaaaaah, but being able to read and understand music and play several instruments does NOT guarantee that one can write music. I fall into that category and have about enough talent in song writing ability to maybe re-write Three Blind Mice on a good day, however, I can arrange. A lot of talented lyricists can't read a not, but they sure write prettyOriginally Posted by strange_wings

I never said those songs necessarily had good lyrics. Most pop stuff has terrible lyrics! (or at least not very deep lyrics) But no one seems to care as long as the beat is catchy enough.Originally Posted by sk_pacer

To tie it back to the topic, sort of, his most popular hit doesn't have that great of lyrics - definitely no deep philosophical meaning to be found there.
He's still a hunky dunky though
That's not new news. He just confirmed what everyone already knew and/or suspected when he first came on the music scene. He was just too pretty and effeminate. Shame that he felt he had to wait so long to confirm the rumours.

ok fair enough ill remember before i post topics, i must be the only one that must live in the dark because it was news to me
would a mod just shut this please i wish i hadnt posted

I could have sworn he came out last year or thereabouts. It was around when Clay Aiken came out, or shortly afterwards. I remember being actually surprised.Originally Posted by Rosiemac
I think it was a year or so ago that i heard he was gay?
aj, I don't know if it's actually been posted here before, but IMDB, for one, has this posted as breaking news practically, so that's why I'm confused.
Oh, there are a LOT of bad songs out there, drivel with catchy tunes, however those song mills did have good writers, and I did mention the four that had the best careers after they went out on their own. Hey, as far as deep lyrics go, favourite 60s groups were the Dave Clark Five and Herman's Hermits, after the Stones, Yardbirds and several other British blues bands.Originally Posted by strange_wings

I am guessing this is the infamous Vida Loca (well something like that) with the obscene video??
FWIW, the comments on the GH board I frequent has a long long tedious thread devoted to this and it morphed into a we want MIguel and Brenda back. A few mentioned they had their suspicions way back then and this story line was back around 1995
He is still very easy on the eyes....
I knew this from day one!! But all the woman would just tell me, that I was jealous
Yea right. I don't get jealous, not worth it.
