Divaness

Based on my observation and also reading from blogs and watching movies, being gay has also been closely associated with being a 'Diva'. Most singing Diva are gay icons anyway. However, the fact that some gay men, not to say all, lest i offend the butch group of gays, like to sing and dance to their favourite singer and even impersonate them make me realised how gay i can actually be even before i realised that i like men.

i remembered back in high school where i could dance and sing to Kylie Minogue (yes the 'can't get you out of my head song). i was dancing, singing and even imitate her moves in the MTV whenever the 'La la la' part can be heard on the radio. My boyfriend brought me back to Madonna, which see myself belting out 'nothing really matters' with the moves in the shower. Watching 'Will and Grace' and seeing Jack had a impersonation fight with the real Cher to imitate her sees me also singing to 'All or nothing' dancing in the shower as well.

Some of my friends said that i can sing and dance. Singing? i don't really think so, its because i have a high voice (damn ! i could kill for a voice like Will Young or Clay Aiken), so i have difficulty singing low pitch but definitely no problem in singing high, even till falsetto. i always like to practice my voice like an acrobat by singing 'i still believe' by Mariah Carey, from the deep low till her signature whistle-blower note( well i dun think i can reach that high, but enough to make Daniel Bedingfield turn around . Haha perasan me.)

Dancing well i guess i deserve a little of the compliment. I do know how to dance a bit. i always feel like i should learn to do hip hop because i think i am made for it. my friends who thought i cant really dance were amazed when i went out clubbing with them once and jumped into the centre of our own group and pulled out my moves when the DJ played 'signs' by Snoop Dog. So i can def dance a bit.

i guess being gay the divaness is almost can be considered as inborn and you can't help expressing it, or else how can you explain the drag culture and also the trannies in the LBGT community? For me i totally embrace it, it makes my shower time more fun as i chose my impersonation icon for the day.
