SO ADAM LEVINE HAS GOT A WHOLE LOT OF PRESS TALKING ABOUT HIS GAY BROTHER AND HOW CRAP FEST ‘AMERICAN IDOL’ NEEDS TO LET THE GAY SINGERS SHINE…..I IGNORED IT AS I CANNOT STAND LEVINE AND I WANT GAY PEOPLE TO TALK IN THE MEDIA MORESO THAN PATRONIZING WANKERS. BUT HE DOES HAVE A POINT. AND IDOL OBVIOUSLY NEVER COVERS GAY LIFE OR, GOD FORBID, SHOWED A CONTESTANT IN THE PRE FILMED PACKAGES LIVING A GAY LIFE……..

Now American Idol Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe is responding in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly:

Entertainment Weekly: You probably saw NBC’s The Voice judge Adam Levine saying Idol should show openly gay contestants. What do you think of that and could that change next season?
Nigel Lythgoe: To be frank, I didn’t understand why we’re talking about contestants being gay or not gay. I don’t go into my dentist and say, “Are you gay?” I don’t say to contestants on So You Think You Can Dance, “Are you gay?” What does it got to do with me? What does it got to do with anybody? When does privacy stop in this country? If somebody wants to say they’re gay, it’s up to them. You don’t expect us to turn around and say, “Are you gay?” Why would we do that? — “By the way, he’s a Catholic and he supports Obama and here’s his sexuality” — what does that have anything to do with singing talent? Maybe it does for Adam Levine, but not for me.

So the reason nobody has been openly gay on Idol is that it’s up to the contestant.
Did [season eight Idol contestant] Adam Lambert come out?

Afterwards, I believe so.
He must have come out before being on Idol, he just didn’t talk about it on Idol. And why should he? Is every actor going on television going to say, “I’m only playing the part of a straight man, I’m really gay”? There’s no reason that I would see why anybody that goes on television should start coming out with who they are, what they are, what they’re sexuality is, who they’re going to vote for or what their religion is.

WHAT A DOUCHE. OF COURSE ADAM WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BE HIMSELF ON IDOL. THIS IS PROVEN BY THE FACT THAT AS SOON AS HE COULD OFFICIALLY COME OUT HE DID. THEY SHOVED HIM IN THE CLOSET AND WOULD HAVE HAPPILY KEPT HIM THERE. LUCKILY ADAM IS THE MAN HE IS AND WOULD NOT ABIDE BY THE USUAL HOLLYWOOD RULES. AND GODS LOVE HIM FOR THAT.
YOU ARE A CREEP NIGEL, WHO I ALWAYS IMAGINE SLIPPING A ROOFIE INTO AN UNDERAGE GIRLS DRINK.
