Do all gay men like Cher, Madonna, Pink and Mariah Carey?

[Diego_Ryan]

Alright so maybe we can't answer this question but do the gay men here like these 4 singers?

Cher - I've only heard 5 of her songs (I've Got you Babe, Turn back Time, Believe, Strong Enough and Song for the Lonely), I'm too young too know some of her older stuff, but from what I heard I do like these songs. Also, VH1 once stated that her core fan base is gay men.

Madonna - I love her music, she also seemed to have a lot of gay friends back in her day

Pink - Her official website has a forum and the majority of people who post there are lesbians, bisexuals or gay men. Anyway, I also love her music

Mariah Carey - recently I've been seeing a lot of gay men into her music; anyway I also love her music.

So, what about you guys? Also, what is it about these artists that seem to attract us to them?

Yes.

No.

No.

No.

I actually like every one of those except Mariah Scarey... I personally think she's a talentless hack.

 

[jsd62]

Please don't take away my gay card, but....who the hell is Pink???
Of the other three, I can only say that I like Cher, but am not fanatical about her.

 

[Soilwork]

I suppose that there are the odd songs by the first three that I can get into. Not sure about Pink, I think I only know one or two.

I think Mariah Carey is a floppy-twat whore, I think her songs are shiity and her voice is annoying. But I'm sure there are gay guys who like her.

But no.. I prefer Led Zeppelin over all of the aforementioned musicians.

 

[Diego_Ryan]

Not all, no.

I like some of Cher's stuff, early Madonna, Pink I'm not that familiar with, and Mariah holds no interest for me at all.

Here's two of Pink's videos you've most likely heard her songs since they were top 10 hits this year:

yes to Cher, and no to the rest of them.​

eM.​

 

[prettyboysing]

I really like Mariah Carey and Cher. Pink is pretty good. Madonna I can give or take. Judging by the responses on this board, I'd say the anser to your question is "no".

 

[provenlogic]

YES, YES, YES, and No

 

[JetSetJake]

I'm a very big fan of Cher, Madonna I only really like her early stuff from the 80s, Pink I've just recently started liking and she's becoming a fave. Mariah Carey on the other hand, I really, really dislike.

As for what attracts gay men to become fans of these singers and similar singers, I can only speculate, but in my opinion it is the image and the sassy "I do what I like and to hell with anyone who doesn't like it" attitude. That's certainly one of the factors that make me a fan of Cher!!!

 

[robbieadam]

I absolutely love Pink and I listen to a select few of Madonna's songs, but I don't listen to Mariah or Cher. I actually went to see Pink live just under a year ago, it was great!

 

[SantaCBear]

Sometimes

Sometimes

No

Sometimes

Speaking of Pink Last year, NBC Sunday Night NFL football was hoping she would be their Hank Jr, WRONG!

 

[Orlandude]

Cher - Some of her songs

Madonna - Yes

Pink - No

Mariah Carey - No

 

[Franion]

Cher - some early stuff (talking 60's and 70's here).
Madonna - don't like her music, but respect her.
Pink - liking her latest stuff more than the early silliness.
Mariah Carey - no thanks. It's a relief not to hear her squawking on the radio these days.

 

[robbieadam]

The Narny came in and said, "That's her newer stuff. Her older stuff is better."

A few of the popular older ones:

Get The Party Started


Trouble


God Is A DJ


Just Like A Pill


Oh, and the new album is actually better than the older stuff.

 

[Piquechampion]

Guilty as charged to all of them (except early Pink)

Throw in some Janet, Whitney and Paula and I´m ready to go

 

[tiptoer]

cher no
madonna yes
pink hell yeah
mariah you bet!

I think the big appeal is someone being successful despite the odds. Of course a couple on the list get diva points as well. its not a litmus test though! I for one HATE Barbara Streisand and think her voice sounds like a dying cat! My partner on the other hand... adores her. I listen to almost any kind of music... but I agree that these ladies tend to be "iconic" in the queer community. And thats only the tip of the list...

You left off the most talented musician of them all - Britney Spears.

[Golliwog]

Of the four, I like only Cher.
And not so much her singing as her acting ability. The 1987 movie, "Moonstruck" moonstruck me, and I have loved her since.
I enjoyed some of her songs with Sonny Bono.

When she gets good roles, she can act with great skill.

I thought Pink was a color.
