Born in 1979, Will Young shot to UK Stardom in 2002 when he won the first ever Pop Idol, soon to be licensed around the world in a money making, star factory TV franchise. Will showed his smarts and eloquence when he told Simon Cowell exactly what he should do with his nasty attitude and unnecessary jibes at contestants, showing just how to use a political science degree.
Will has also been openly gay since his first single broke all sales records in the U.K. even outselling the Princess Diana tribute version of Candles in the Wind. To my knowledge Will has never been embroiled in any tabloid scandal, which for someone in the public eye in the U.K. is no mean feat. Proof indeed that you can have a successful career after coming out.
I bought the boy’s album in 2002 when I was in London on holiday. Saw the guy on a local morning chat show and went straight down to the giant huge big Virgin megastore in Picadilly Circus in London and bought his album. I was actually listening to it just yesterday.
Humm…what does “sexy” mean? As a person who almost NEVER listens to pop music, I had never heard of this guy…really! I looked him up on youtube and watched a few things.
Soulful and smart…maybe. But sexy? In what way? I guess I am a “face man” and find him to be really goofy looking, not especially attractive at all. His dancing…yeah, that was pretty sexy.
