Who are the great gay men singers now? I think of Adam Lambert of course but I want to know more. Please post videos of the best you know! Any unknowns too.

Erasure's Andy Bell has kept his voice and deserves a hall of fame mention. I know, I know, butter face, but he was a total trailblazer.

I was going to post a picture of FREDDIE, of course, but OP is asking for singers that are still among us.

I have no idea, OP. Elton John?

I like that lad from Years & Years, Olly Alexander. Of course, he cannot hold a candle to George, Elton, or Freddie.

Another trailblazer is Ètienne Daho from France. His single from last year with Vanessa Paradis "Tirer la nuit sur les ètoiles" (pull in the night by the stars) is pretty good.

Neil Tennant (more of a male chanteuse) and yes Ètienne Daho. Boy George USED to be able to croon. Marc Almond had style but he's pretty awful now in his dotage. Morrissey.

Boy George's voice went during lockdown and it was so sad to see.

Morrissey is a right wing cunt and no example for gay men. It was hard to write him off, but I have.

Lockdown!? That must have been at least the third time Boy George has lost his voice. It's been repaired a few times but basically he lost it in the mid 90s if I remember.

I had no idea Ètienne Daho is gay. I don’t know much of his music but somehow assumed he was a straight ladies man.

Andy Bell’s voice isn’t what it used to be. He definitely struggles live

Is that David Archuleta at r24?

Adam Lambert is a phenomenal live singer. Never seen him live but them dam vocals are point at award shows. Like Clay he should have won his season. He is a masculine femme gay in my book. Love his energy.

It's a shame Jim Nabors never had vocal training. He could sing but was a bit nasal, had ugly vowel sounds and floated between baritone and tenor.

With some formal training I think his voice would have settled into a robust, Verdian baritone.

Gomer Pyle as Rigoletto? I'd pay to see that.
