i think his look is "millenial lenny kravitz" but then i like him in spite of, not because of the facade

Oh no, looking like Lenny Kravitz. What a terrible thing.

oh come on lex: dude is a model. it ain't super compelling for me.

I'm not lex and also I personally feel very ummm.... "compelled" when I look at Lenny Kravitz.

miguel's performance of male sexuality really magnifies how rare it is in current pop
It's increasingly rare to have a pop star who can actually pull it off without coming across as sleazy, creepy or just trying way too hard, you need a certain twinkle in your eye, one that comes across on record as well. Miguel definitely has it.

whups sorry rev; sometimes i see the "end" at the end and get you two confused.
― “audience participation” otherwise known as “touching” (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 19:49 (nine years ago) link
I don't think it's about the twinkle in his eye, quite the opposite actually bc he doesn't treat being a sexual object as a joke or corny but actually performs it v seriously, and with a suggestion that he's into it. It's not actually far from how female pop stars routinely perform sexuality - the bare flesh is pretty crucial - and to see a straight man playing what's usually designated as a female role is p great
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 20:11 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, there is knowingness, but the one thing he does not do is play it with a wink or treat it as a joke. That's the kind of presentation that straight dudes seem to need (ironic distance?) in order to partake. It's less uncomfortable I guess for them to read it as "funny"?
― The Hauntology of Celebrity (Branwell with an N), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link
I don't mean a twinkle in the eye to mean a kind of smirking detachment, I just mean a certain... something. It's not incompatible with sincerity at all.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 20:37 (nine years ago) link
I don't know how one can be a sincere or insincere sex object tbh.

You can participate in your own objectification; I dunno what sincerity has to do with it.

Miguel was a surprise guest at the Prince gig in Baltimore:
from NY Times review
Miguel, who sang a modified version of the Staple Singers’ “When Will We Be Paid,” a song often interpreted as a call for reparations.
