[QUOTE="Star*, post: 251452, member: 4964"] Okay I have a question. Well, maybe more of an observation regarding the "Idol" curse. Since I'm not a huge Idol fan -wondered if anyone else caught this. And SERIOUSLY I mean no disrespect to gays or lesbians....but....Clay Aiken. He sells a record - staggering 2.7 million copies of his album "Measure of A Man." then comes out of the closet, tells the world he's gay, adopts a baby. Now he cut another album - it has sold a slumping 157,000 copies. He can't figure out why. I think if I were gay I'd be upset. I think as a straight person I'm confused. Do you think his coming out or the baby or that title of his first album had anything to do with it? I get slumping economy but to go from mega star to 157,000 - it really is a curse. There was a ton of talent in his group - I remember that - and lost interest after because I thought there were other contestants that did so much better. Just curious. Not bi-curious....just curious. [/QUOTE]
