47. God.Enrique, I wish it had been me is all I can say. Wish I'd been at the concert too. He is wonderful and a real entertainer, which is what all this is about. Entertainment.

51. I think I just gained a whole new respect for Enrique! For a celebrity to go to a gay club and serenade a male fan the way he would a female fan and not act homophobic.... Most men, no matter how open minded, would not have done what he did. A hug and arm around the young man, etc. It's really great that he gives his gay fans that special moment just the way he gives his female fans. No other straight man would do that.

53. SO WHAT if he pulled a gay fan on stage and sang to him? Iglesias is known for pulling female fans on stage and serenading them.................why SHOULDN'T he pull a gay male fan on stage and do the same? It doesn't mean Enrique is gay (whether he is or isn't is irrelevant)- It means he's comfortable with his sexuality and could give a rat's ass what judgemental, bigoted fawks like those who have posted here have to say about it.

54. Folks! Enrique is an entertainer. He works with extraordinary talent, powerful producers, influential managers, brilliant photographers, attorneys, song writers, other performers who make up and drive the entertainment business and create the music you all listen too and purchase. And those people are also his friends, naturally. And guess what:? MANY, a very large MANY of the best are gay. Just like your doctors, and teachers, and church leaders and your psychiatrists, and the people who write the books you read, and design the clothes you wear and direct the movies you rush to see. They're your children's favorite camp school counselor and they're your dentists, too. They officiate your weddings, negotiate your divorces and council your loved one when you die. They are the gay men and women of the world who create the culture you live in and consume every day. They're gay people. They're part of your life and they're part of Enrique's life. And at G.A.Y., the largest nightclub in London and perhaps all of Europe, they were HIS audience. And he appreciates those people for all they do for his career. I saw this video yesterday on YouTube and immediately bought two of his albums on iTunes. And that's called RESPECT. Just like the moment of respect depicted in this video. For those of you have such a difficult time growing up with this minor issue of LIFE, what page of early American history do you live on? Face the fact that without gays this world would be much less wonderful to live in. And guess who gave birth to all of the gays some of you have such difficulty with? Straight people! Thank God for all the straight people who create all the stunningly brilliant gays who bring so much beauty, music, design, and happiness to our lives.

55. I LOVED it! He is so hot and that guy from the audience was SO lucky!

56. This is right on so many levels.

He is showing he is supportive of gay equality. He is treating the song and his audience with the respect that such a prestigious gig as G-A-Y (where Madonna, Kylie and many other big names CHOOSE to play in London) club in Soho and being so comfortable all at once.

As we pointed out at http://www.gaymarketnews.com/2007/06/enrique-gay-market-branding.html
this is also very clever marketing by Enrique - and is winning mostly positive comment this week from all over.

Good stuff.

58. I thought it was very sweet. And also very sweet how he kissed his forehead at the end. I'm also in the camp that feels Enrique is gay, but even if he isn't, all this video shows is that he is totally comfortable with his own sexuality, as well as that of his gay fan base. I applaud him for just being real. It looked NOTHING like pandering to me. You want to see pandering? Go look up that Michael Jackson/Lisa Marie on stage "kiss" debaucle. Now THAT is pandering.

59. Beautiful, and I am girl, in love with my husband.
I can't stop looking to the video. He is so himself, so beautiful. While others fake to like their fan, he truly show interest for his audience. Is a show to you. Like he did in spanish, you feel he sings to you. Gay or not gay his performance was completly outstanding. I reach a new level of admiration to him. And personal i dont believe he is gay, and nor of my business neither if he is. Anyway i never seen him, being so straight and Man. I am all over in my 20 and loving his music again.

60. Chill out gang! So what if he is gay? More power to him if he's now ready to admit it. The current issue of People has an article about Enrique and he makes it quite clear he is not married, not dating; female that is. One question I have is; why was he perfoming in one of London's largest gay nightclubs? Is this somewhat of a coming out for him? He is HOT and come on over to our side StudPuppy!
