After QAL, I've come to the point where I loathe the adjective "flamboyant." It seems like it's become code speak for "gayer than this writer/reviewer can handle." Now the original definition is something I can get on board with: "1.(of a person or their behavior) tending to attract attention because of their exuberance, confidence, and stylishness. "a flamboyant display of aerobatics" synonyms: exuberant, confident, lively, animated, vibrant, vivacious "her flamboyant personality." Totally agree ^^^

On "The Ten Most Flamboyant Gay Celebrities of All Times" - I agree with you, Q3, that RuPaul belongs on that list (and probably omit David Bowie for the reasons you mentioned) - and Buderschnookie, I so agree with you about Rudolf Nureyev when you said "...his talent literally radiated off the stage". I also have seen Nureyev perform live back in the day, and it was so true. Very few performers that I've seen live on stage have taken my breath away like that, and for me Adam and Freddie are among those very few whose talent, power, and very presence literally radiate beyond the stage.

I would keep the list as is if given a choice. It's amazing that Adam is on the list with two of his favorite performers Freddie and David.. Now that's just KISMET.

So not only they want e-mail and phone # info but they will also require financial info to charge that $1....a definite NO for me! Agree - asking for too much info. Will be very happy with audio stream. I am sure someone will be capturing the live stream and will be able to enjoy video later. There are too many tech savvy Adam fans to let the opportunity pass by. If they work it right they should just be able to charge the $1 to phone bills just like Red Cross does for donations but I'm not an expert. What I am confused about is that I thought in the past lots of people said they were willing to pay for an HD stream, clear back in the GN tour days even. Or maybe our regular streamers have just gotten too good. Full disclosure - I'm not joining the HD stream but then I only join the regular stream occasionally and almost never watch a full video anymore. (Hides behind couch)

I wouldn't put Bowie on the list either. His name draws attention and hits, to hell with the facts. Seems like they were only interested having BIG names on that list. Not so sure RuPaul is in the same league, but nice to see Adam there. I am glad Adam is on that list and I that Q+AL New Years has probably has FINALLY made him famous in the UK. On Ru Paul: I think he meets the "flamboyant" criteria! And I think it is ridiculous to not have the world's most famous current drag queen on a list of flamboyant gays. Ru Paul is the creator and MC/Star of the #1 "Gay" TV program in the world. It has been LOGOs #1 show for 6 years, it is aired all over the world and streamed online. A UK version of the show is in development. And I think he is quite famous. JMHO. The list of current, under 50, flamboyant celebrities is very short -- Adam and ? Ru Paul is the only other one! > There are many flamboyant straight celebrities but flamboyant and gay seems to be out of style. Now we seem to have a lot of nice gay men in nice suits -- Matt Bomer, Rickey Martin, Sam Smith, etc. Look at the list.... Over 50 #2 Elton John #5 Boy George (the youngest excluding Adam and he is 53) #6 Julian Clary #7 David Bowie (not gay but 68) Dead but all would have been over 50 #1 Liberace #3 Freddie Mercury #4 Oscar Wilde #8 Andy Warhol #9 Rudolph Nureyev
