Wow, where did you learn that word? From "The Heterosexual Guide To When Same-Sex Friends Seem A Little Too Close"?

I don't understand what you mean by a "gay show"...if you mean camp, then I don't think it will be! Look at the art direction for the album/singles and some of her work on the website :wink:
I think it will be pretty minimalistic and modern....

What is that comment all about?! :evil:
I prefer shows for all kind of public. For example, things like the "discovery tour" are very embarrasing (at least for heterosexual people).
Well I saw the discovery tour and I cannot for the life of me see what was so embarrasing about it (for hetrosexuals). You must be one hell of a prude if you found a bit of bare flesh and some harmless cavorting to be so embarrasing. If you're so worried about it being a "gay show", well then, just don't go. It's that easy.

I think the clue is in the titles of the songs on the album.........the staging will no doubt be appropriate.

Now you wouldn't want understated production for songs like Sodom and Gomorah Show and Integral would you?

Having said that, there move from big production shows to more conventional shows is a sign of the times. It all depends on how much money they want to lose or make I guess!

I don't like it and it's only an opinion. There is nothing bad on that.

Actually, its quite offensive, but you obviously you don't realise it.

Wooly homophobia some might suggest.......

yeah. I quite liked Beethoven (especially the late quartets) but when I discovered he had syphillis I was disgusted and I'll never listen to him again.

I used to like Diana Ross..... until I went to see her show.

I was shocked that a) she is a woman b) she is black. Lordy. I asked her to change because us white males don't like it.

There wasn't nothing embarresing about this show at all, infact i found it to be very homo-erotic.

I was just offended that Closer to Heaven was a pile of crap more than anything. Discovery was fantastic. They should do more shows where they all of a sudden cut into a nostalgic euro floor filler.

I don't see how you can look at the work of the designer and think that this will be a risque show. If anything, it could be dark and nightmarish. Think Orwell or Zamyatin 2084.

Seriously, all the OTT stereotypical "gay" stuff isn't all that much fun for us breeders to watch. It just isn’t. **

I imagine it'd be analogous to hanging out with a group of drunken business men at a girlie bar.

No homophobia. No bigotry. No hate.

Just not into it. ...for more than one or two songs!! ;)

Lucas.


** it also pigeon holes and classifies, something I’m quite sure Neil, while knowing where his bread is buttered, would rather avoid
I sincerely *love* Disco 2 and listen to it straight through regularly.

Than again, when I saw janet jackson a few years ago, she was having simulated sex with an audience member onstage during one of the songs....i guess its ok to do things like that if your straight, but god forbid showing any "gayness" in your act.

sheesh, what a double standard
