X-Factor Winner Announces he's Gay

So yet another pop star reveals he’s gay, 19yr old Joe McElderry took the gutsy move to reveal his sexual orientation just weeks after hackers got into his Twitter account and outed him. Despite claiming it to be a lie at the time he’s come clean – good for him, I say but will his honest approach do him more harm than good?

I hope his mass female fan base don’t become disillusioned and move onto pastures new, after all it’s about his voice and his music and not who he prefers in the bedroom.

I find it increasingly sad that gay men and women these days still feel they need to keep quiet for fear of damage to there careers and how they will be perceived by the public. Surely in today’s world been gay should be as acceptable as been straight or even bisexual but as always it’s the small narrow minded people who cannot accept people for who they are that cause the most damage.

Personally I don’t believe it’s any of our business what celebrities do in there personal lives but with mass media attention these days unfortunately it is a way of life for anyone in the publice eye,.

I applaud Joe for choosing to come out now, it’s a daring move to make before he releases his debut album and establishes his career and I sincerely hope he goes on to be highly successful career proves honesty really can be the best policy.

Live Aid - 25 Years On

LIVE AID the biggest music event in history took place twenty five years ago this month. Did it make you Rant or Coo?

So many of the biggest artists of the time performed for this charity event. Wembley, London and J.F. Kennedy Stadium, Philadelphia saw U2, Queen, Duran Duran, Status Quo, Paul McCartney, Madonna and Tina Turner and many others perform to crowds of over 72,000 people in England & 99,000 in Philadelphia and an estimated 2 billion people worldwide.

Where Were You?

Did You Watch It?

Were You There?

What was your memorable moment?

Would you like to see another Live Aid, today.

Who would you want to see perform in a present day Live Aid?

Among the highlights/memorable moments:

David Bowie & Mick Jagger performing a duettogether on different sides of the Atlantic.

Phil Collins performing at the UK & US concert

Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran performing his inadvertent falsetto note later noted as the "The Bum Note Heard Round The World".

The video of Drive by The Cars, a very emotional and heart wrenching look at the sheer extent of the starving in Africa, reduced most to tears and a huge surge in donations.

Robbie Joins TT!

Undoubtedly Take That have one of the most successful comebacks in history, I can't help but wonder why they re-joined with Robbie.

Is it a publicity stunt? Is it the money? Or simply friends reconciling?

I have no strong feelings of Robbie's return I loved Take That with and without him but I know you the fans have a lot to say for and against this decision.

So come on then let us know if you think the the guys have lost their minds, made a big mistake, or is the best thing they've done since their comeback.

Will you be buying the album? Going to the tour? or becoming a fan of someone else.

Will you 'Never Forget' have 'No Regrets' and hope Robbie is 'Back For Good'?
