    I just saw this music video yesterday….it’s catchy enough.

    well, it’s a nice throwback to the good ol’ days of disco, catchy tune.

    I have one question: I don’t know this singer (not really into pop music much), but, does he always sing in that quasi-falsetto?

    I’m having difficulty imagining him singing in Cabaret with that kind of voice.

    Love Will, Fun video and catch lyrics. Nice to have Will representing the boys.

    thanks, Will, but no. i’ve gotten too used to self-service 🙁
    )))unexpected item in the fagging, um, bagging area(((

    This is why pop music written by or for gay men sucks.

  • uh oh

    J’adore!

    I don’t hate it, but there’s not much to it. If you close your eyes, it sounds like a sleepy Toni Braxton number or something. Also, if you want a lover, don’t work as a checkout clerk, just sayin.

    What impresses me most is that he found the one shopping cart without a broken wheel.

    They went to the trouble to get the location, the gear and lights and all that but couldn’t take a few minutes to find a shirt that fit?

    That looked like a dancing muffin.

    Will Young’s latest is really great. It’s like peppy chill out music.

    And yes, he sings in that falsetto a lot. But it works on his latest CD.

    @MikeE: Will Young is the singers name… and pretty much yes.. that is his singing voice.. Loosing Myself is one of my favorites..

    June 6, 2012 at 4:06pm
  • Eldred

    Loosing Myself is my absolute favorite of Will Young’s. I also love both Vevo videos for the song.

    Man this video and song sucked. I agree with Red Assault they could have had the guy dress better.

    June 6, 2012 at 5:06pm
  • UsualPlayers

    Liked the music. WHile the video is different, I am not sure I get it. Is the point supposed be mundane life that’s so boring that its just off in his own mind contemplating his life?

    June 6, 2012 at 5:06pm
  • FelixWood

    I’ve not really been into his music but his latest album is really great!
