Hasn't anybody heard of cross dressing and that most men who do this are straight? And since Prince is artistic it's just done so fly. Don't be haters now! hmph!

Boy George & Pete Burns cross dress throughout their entire music career and neither one of them MFers are straight OR metrosexual like Prince.

Just saying. tease

Note the word "most" men. tease

99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment

Exactly. I am not understanding where all this "bi" shit is coming from.

Here is Kelly Clarkston's response regarding what Clive wrote about her in his book:lol

February 19, 2013Hey y'all,

So I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false information about me and my music. I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you learn you don't have to cower to anyone - even Clive Davis.

First, he says I burst into "hysterical sobbing" in his office when he demanded Since You Been Gone be on my album. Not true at all. His stories and songs are mixed up. I did want more guitars added to the original demo and Clive did not. Max, Luke and I still fought for the bigger sound and we prevailed and I couldn't be more proud of the life of that song. I resent him dampening that song in any way.

But, yes, I did cry in his office once. I cried after I played him a song I had written about my life called "Because Of You." I cried because he hated it and told me verbatim that I was a "sh*tty writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me." He continued on about how the song didn't rhyme and how I should just shut up and sing. This was devastating coming from a man who I, as a young girl, considered a musical hero and was so honored to work with.
But I continued to fight for the song and the label relented. And it became a worldwide hit. He didn't include that in the book.

He also goes on to say My December wasn't successful because I co-penned the album and it didn't have "pop hits". Well, first let me say, I've co-penned many of my "pop hits." Secondly, My December went platinum (It sold 20,000 less than All I Ever Wanted which followed My December.) Hardly a huge failure. Never Again, the ONLY single they released in the US from that record was a Top 10 hit. I am very proud of that and I have my fans to thank. But, again, what's most interesting about his story is what he leaves out: He doesn't mention how he stood up in front of his company at a convention and belittled me and my music and completely sabotaged the entire project. It never had a chance to reach it's full potential. My December was an album I needed to make for myself for many reasons and the fact that I was so completely disregarded and disrespected was so disheartening, there really aren't words to explain….

Anyway, I love my job. I love my music. I love my fans. I love my label and all of my professional relationships… now. And I am grateful for Clive for teaching me to know the difference.

Cheers to another amazing year! And, as always, thanks for listening!

That's one thing about writing autobiographies. You only read one side of an issue, and not get the other side of the story. Well, that's what autobiographies is shrug

Bi, my ass. This Queen's a B-O-T-T-O-M through and through. Puh-leeezzzzz.

You ain't lying! No top would put out the sissified type music he's put out. That bitch is probably Judy Garland's biggest fan. And as for the women he's been with, he probably made them strap one on and flip him over. lol

Did he ever mess with Dionne Warwick? Cuz I could picture her strappin it on to fuck a dude. lol

I don't get why anyone would be threatened by bisexuality, but I know the folk are out there.

It definitely does not have to be an either/or. I believe that folk can be a myriad of things.


That being a truth, some folk, do SCREAM of either or tho. And while it may make it tougher for those who are bi (especially men, hi Dan, due to societal rules of masculinity), for lots and lots and LOTSSSSSSSSSSSS of dudes, claiming bisexuality IS a way to ease their way to their, um...final desination. purse

MEMO: Dr.Dre, who's bisexuality was outed by 2pac, will never make it the THAT^ desination as long as he is happily married to a woman.

Ever!!! no no no! lol

lol
