Behind all the laughter, there's a frustration and resentment there. I think a lot of it has to do with him having feelings for men and growing up and not having those feelings validated. Even as a straight guy, I've lost years of my life for different reasons, so I can understand the resentment you get from that. If only the world accepted you from the beginning, you would have had a better childhood.
Wish that his last two albums had been for sale in the U.S. and wish that, What About Us video had been been put on MTV and VH1. Hoping that I-Tunes will put his last two albums on their web site for sale. Would love to get at least the song What About Us, love it. From a gay man in Tennessee, I would love to have seen this on T.V. John, baby, keep up the good work and do not back down. Also, thank you to Scott Gill for standing behind and by John's side through everything. Love to you both.
You should also check out him singing this song live on The Royal Variety Performance (last year? it's on YT somewhere)
He had 4 pairs of dancers, depicting conflict & passion, and one pair was two guys; beautifully done. Although I thought half of the couples should have been gay, and/or at least one girl/girl couple as well.
I've no idea what Tenessee is like.
He's right that we don't care in England; when I first saw the vid it didn't even strike me as unusual.
Christina Aguilera (not sure how to spell her last name) video for Beautiful and Boyzone's video for Better are the only other music videos I have seen with two men being a "normal couple". Love John Barrowman, he is so funny and clever and not to mention gorgeous! I hope I manage to see him live at some point in my life :)
I never knew about johb before he was in doctor who when he came into the 2nd word war scene with the bomb that made all the peoplefaces turn into gas masks but now I have everything John, both albums and calander everything and i am going to see him in may in cardiff i want to see him because he has the most lovely voice i have ever heard and i want to say that his song i know him so much is amazing with Danny Boys LUV YOU BOTH SO MUCH WELL DONE
thanks for putting this up i went on a school trip on this day and had to leave at 5.45am and i missed this. im glad i actaully got to see it in the end
He's so amazing and honest. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm one of those screaming teenage girl types - except I have never met him. Instead I can't breathe over some of the pics :) lol
This has some really great stuff about the life and treatment of gays! Love it! Wish I could distinguish it from the other faves in my faves with some kind of label. I want to share it with lots of people!
Not many ppl seem to be tackling his video subject,I'm glad BBC has finally spoken about it instead of the moronic editors of mags etc just saying IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. They know exactly what it's about it's not rocket science,just human nature,they're just too scared to broach the subject so just cover their tracks by saying something doesn't make sense! Also Boyzone have in a way followed suit by placing A male/male relationship portrayal within their video too.
soz was hijacked by my mate, he was grinning like a cheshire cat, ive found out why now, LOL!!! He's absolutely lost the plot, apologies peeps, will have to cut his digits off! LOL!

'What About Us' isn't a song you can dance to, but one you HAVE to SING to.

exactly John Barrowman. Most of us honestly don't care whether a musician/actor is gay or not; as long as whatever they do is great.
