Why girlie music?

I don't understand why my fellow young gay guys are so interested in sexy female vocalists.

Clearly we don't want to make love to them. We're gay males.

So, I guess many gay guys identify with sexy female vocalists?

I can halfway understand loving sexy girls. I can halfway understand identifying with sexy girls. But, for the most part, I like male music in a man's men's world. Is that weird? In fact, I identify much more easily with straight men than I do with straight women. Not always. Sometimes I can and do identify with straight women. But not so often.

To be honest, I'm really surprised how much girl-i-ness shows up in our Top 20. It's like... girl, girl, girl, girl, girl.

If I wanted to be like a girl I would get a sex change.

So, my question: Why girlie music?

How many gay guys would let a guy sing about them and objectify them to the point where they're more of a trophy boy and accessory than a person?

And we shouldn't care so much about gender, though I don't think I'm personally ready for genderf***. :x; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Leandro on October 18, 2009 at 12:27am: Um.... Actually i got lot of songs and most of them are female vocalist xD.
Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, Beyonce, they are my TOP female vocalists.

And male singers... I mostly listen to Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, David Archuleta, DBSK, Fly To the Sky, Jesse McCartney.
I like Korean music a lot, and there i got BOA, she was the first korean singer I listened to here in Hong Kong.
Usually no matter if they are male or females, I look for the quality of the voice.
All the singers i mentioned are r&b and pop ballads singers, except Daddy Yankee (his music is more for dancing than for singing xD)

In fact I like singers with good vocal habilities and wide range (Mariah Carey won that part ;).

Saludos a mi querido Kim !! Besame muchooo ;)
