Re: It’s A Sin - Years & Years cover
Why would anybody feel "let down" unless they were homophobic? ... I'm sure their reasons were much more prosaic. At the end of the day, again, why would they let down homophobes if those pay a great share of their bills? :lol: That is reason prosaic enough I reckon. But, I do disagree th...

Re: It’s A Sin - Years & Years cover
why allow Olly to do a cover of it earlier in the year and agree to produce the collaboration with Elton where all proceeds go to his AIDS foundation? ... I just don't get the idea that they'd be precious about the song being "framed" as "about AIDS" when some of their greatest ...

Re: It’s A Sin - Years & Years cover
This is the band that performed Paninaro '95 with oiled muscle boys on Top of the Pops, were labeled "too gay" for the ITV National Lottery Show after New York City Boy's BBC performance, opened a charity show with a song called "Homosexuality", and dedicated the Winner video to...

Re: It’s A Sin - Years & Years cover
Some wanted it to be a celebration of gayness, others thought it’d be better to make it more general. Let’s just call it creative differences. versus It’s not true that creative differences led to them not appearing. The staging and casting ideas were approved by PSB along with Olly and Elton. Th...

Re: It’s A Sin - Years & Years cover
I feel then did the right thing by leaving this "project" more to Olly Plus one. I am actually very glad they did not appear. If they did, they would have endorsed the dedication of the song to the context Olly conveys it in. By not appearing, they have implicitly emphasized that the mast...

Re: It’s A Sin - Years & Years cover
Does anyone else think it's bizarre that It's a Sin is now associated with AIDS because of the TV show when there are obviously plenty of songs in their discography that are actually more explicitly about it? To me, it's always been about Catholicism; obviously Neil is writing from the perspective ...
