Dont Read Any of this negative crap!!!!! there is only people and music in this world and the rest is just shit stuff!!!! ROCK ME BABY I LUV YOU XOXXXX!!
@senselesstosay Why find a way to drop a he she "Correct" term about who this guy is. Who gives a fuck, he makes music...people like it...people may love it but because who he is as a person..they will show and force to hate him. Fuck those people also. Its about the music. At the end of the day its only about the music.
great song but it must be fucking disheartening as an artist to come on here and read all people have to talk about regarding your music is your sexuality. THE MUSIC PEOPLE THE MUSIC
dude who cares if this guy is gay. music is music its what brings people together. not giving this band a chance just because of sexuality is just dumb.
@anothercountyheard How dare you judge John O` Regan (AKA Diamond Rings)! Who died and made you king? You are a mere mortal, not a god and should therefore not cast stones or have a holy than thou attitude! Get down off the cross because someone else needs the wood!
@madamfabulina You don't need to be king to know shite from good music, but having some artistic sensibility helps.It's OK, when I was a kid I liked Elton John! We all grow up.
@anothercountyheard I do have artistic sensibility, too bad you don't! Sir Elton John still rocks! Your a homophobic creep with no clue when it comes to good music. Oh and that comment you made about growing up, I'm 40 and I love John O! Unlike you I don't judge the musicians I listen to nor do limit myself to just one era of music. I grew up in the `80s and I can truthfully say we had some of the best music and artist most of which were gay. Music transcends time, race, gender and sexuality!
@madamfabulina Regarding "Elton still rocks"; res ipsa loquitur. You're stuck in the past. This artist Diamond Rings, the most legit criticism I can make of it is that it fails to build on the past, being merely a repetition. It is little more than a pose. Time is what separates gold from dross. 2010 will be remembered as the year of CHILLWAVE which this music is definitely not. Sorry, no disrespect to you, you seem like a human being.

@anothercountyheard does his sexual ambiguity make your pathetic homophobic dumb ass feel a little uncomfortable? To discount this guy and Adam Lambert only shows your absolute ignorance and inability to recognize talent. I guess you deal with those feelings by striking out with ungrounded hate filled comments.
@eyemantra Homophobic? Who's homophobic? I've never been afraid of gays - look at Morrissey - he's as queer as corn, but the man sings like an angel and writes great songs. But this music itself is gay, meaning lame or lacking in merit. Regarding my ability to recognise talent; my channel speaks for itself.
@anothercountyheard homophobia includes not just hatred but antipathy as well (aversion, dislike, opposition) and your comments (sick fruit, queer as corn) only prove my comment. Using the term that something is "gay" is also negative and derogatory. If you don't understand that then you got more issues than you realize. The reference to Morrissey is only speculative and a cheap shot at best. He has never come out and is most likely bisexual considering he's had girlfriends
@anothercountyheard and your channel isn't that impressive. Sure I like a lot of it but there isn't much substance there and 95% will be forgotten a year after it comes out because there isn't any substance there. I already bought Diamond Rings cd and it's good. He does have a cool voice. I probably will never buy an Adam Lambert cd but there is no denying that he has a great voice. I don't like/buy Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston or Celine Dion but I can't state that they suck. It's stupid.
@eyemantra You make your point well. Can't believe you think there's any doubt about Morrissey, it's a theme in his work, although I know nothing of his personal life. How about Anton Newcomb? He's a fag, but artistically credible. This guy John O reagan may or maybe not, who knows --- the point is he's using his make-up and "androgyny" to attract attention, to sell a record, which record without this gimmick would completely escape notice. It's more old wave rockstar "look at me" bullshit...
@anothercountyheard With my Morrisey comment - one can only speculate since he hasn't come out publicly and the cheap shot comment was in reference to you calling him queer as corn. I never said I did or didn't think he was gay. I honestly don't give a rat's ass who he sleeps with as long as they're legal age. It's none of my business - it's no one's business. Personally I think there have been plenty of musicians over the decades that used this same approach to get noticed early on.
@anothercountyheard I also think this guy's voice is good enough with or without the look/make-up etc.. Maybe him sans makeup performing at SXSW (The D'Urbervilles - Hot Tips (Live at SXSW 2009) would be less annoying to you? Another thing I'd like to add is that I heard "Something Else" and liked it long before I saw the video so his appearance had nothing to do with my opinion of his talent. Nuff said here.
Who cares if he's gay or not? I'm a straight man, and I think he's a talented singer. After all, is that not what music is about? Expression and passion, not issues of sexuality.
one of the best songs on the album! this guy has more talent that just any old pop singer!
