I’m distracted by how close their chairs are during this interview.
Yes I agree with you I'm like that when someone sits next to me on public transport
I literally thought it was just me... 😮 that's not the usual right?! Lol... but that aside, powerful testimonial from Matt... wishing him well 😊❤
Ditto
Knees to Knees.
And their discussing about his sexuality
Me too😮
And why are these two sitting almost on each other ?
My thoughts.. lol!!!!!!
@@bluepeter128 you'd think one of them would feel uncomfortable and shuffle back a bit.
@@lilac9639 I was thinking. Both were gay, men don't normally do that unless forced too.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Don't know but I LOVE it.🥵😍
Chairs are way too close. May as well sit on his knee, wrap his arm around his shoulder and do the interview 😮
😅😅😅
Can't be more intimate, right 😂
@@lordgaga27 lololol 😆 🤣
IDK maybe they like eachother in real life and they had a great conversation before the camera turned on....us gays move fast.
They ain't complaining and they ain't bothered we are projecting our own thoughts.
😂😂😂😂
I love how their legs are locked during this interview
I suspect he isn't the only one to have been treated like that. It's disgraceful and should stop. People should be allowed to be whoever they are.
i knew from the first time i saw him on tv that he is gay. GO MATT!!! We are so proud of you!!!
My ex boyfriend married because he was scared of his family and friends... Now he had a baby but still flirting secretly with gays behind his wife.
that's society - family
@@8ktv475 yeah...
The amount of Artists that have a story to tell after their experiences on Shows like The Voice, Idol, X Factor, Got Talent etc only goes to prove that the Shows don't care except for the ratings. You can blame the Artists all you want but we all know that these juggernauts of shows chew them up and spit them out before looking for the next sucker to exploit. Remember Artists to just use them up to get something out of it before they leave you in the dust behind them. A lot of the time you never hear about a particular Artist again, all the promises and sweet talk by the Show do not eventuate into anything.
And I wonder how many are forced to live these lies and fake public lives for years and years?
Excatly their main point and purpose is to create a reality show that catches peoples attention. The want drama, feuds, stories
Their knees are practically touching. Think the interviewer was interested in more than an interview!
why is that interviewer sitting so close to terry? they're practically sitting on each other....weird.
Probably gonna bottom for him later
Probably just supporting him for his issue.
X factor has a lot to answer for.
This is especially weird because the runner up, Saara Aalto, was openly gay at the time.
I think it goes to talk about “passing”, Saara was a heterosexual-cisgender passing, though she was out you could “forget” she was queer, she wasn’t “butch”. For men, specially men with mannerisms is a little more complicated
😂😂😂😂I was just thinking about how close they were, then I read the comments.😂😂😂😂😂
Their knees were almost touching.
Are we still debating this? Crazy!
Keep telling your truth. The truth will always help someone else.
There is no “your truth “ only THE truth
Poor guy, they should have just let him be himself!
Does he work at Tesco 😅
Matt Terry was always the sweetest, most humble performer of that season. He is clearly telling the truth here since Simon Cowell even went out of his way to gay bash the same sex dancers in Matt's final performance on the show. I have no doubt he was NOT treated well, even with his incredible vocals. I wish him well!
We love you Matt❤❤
He is still hot
Why are they sitting so so close ?? 😂
He looks like he could be the son of Benedict Cumberbatch. Am I the only one who sees the resemblance? haha
Why are they sitting so close! Their legs are touching!
Well,...with all due repsect to Terry, and this important conversation,..i still believe there was absolutely no need,..for the news reporter' s chair to be so,..so,..close to his chair,..😂
Why they are seated too closed? Interesting...
Matt is so cute❤
I had no idea Matt was gay. I always had a crush on him back when I was watching their season.
For some people it takes time to come out because of fear and judgement. Were born equal in this world no matter what sexuality you have. ♥️🇵🇭
😢 so sad but I happy that he’s moving forward and making music
I hate to be that guy, but can someone please explain to me the seating? Is this normal where they’re from?? I really want to know. And for the record, I’m proud of him and fully support him. 👍💪🙏
Good for him. As a Gay man myself I never suspected he was Gay. As a ‘straight’ masculine looking and sounding guy myself I can relate. Matt Terry is a talented singer. Shame that had to happen to him. Being Gay is only one part of him. I wish him the best of luck and happiness with good health more importantly
You must be blind then, it was so obvious and no he’s not masculine in the slightest. Terry is full of it, the woman who came second was openly gay and there’s been plenty of openly gay contestants. He was just in denial and bad at hiding his relationship with another contestant. When it’s that obvious just be yourself already instead of being fake. Guy is just trying to get attention because his career failed.
It was very obvious to me lol
@sf9746 me too! Every week I was telling a friend at school who watched it that I was convinced he was gay and she didn’t believe it. Then when he won I let it go and forgot who he was because his career didn’t work out unfortunately for him. Then a few weeks ago he pops up on my news feed after all these years and I was like I WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL 😝😝
You go on X factor and they own you. Well, dur.
Thats like saying "you join the navy and they put you on a ship"
True, but the navy at least learnt they have no right to control people's personal lives or make them tell lies, hide the truth or live fake lives in order to keep their jobs.
Good for you, mate live your life, your best life
These things baffle me all of a sudden a new song is out and the floodgates open
I never thought he was gay and he has always been giving me that One Direction look. Wasn’t it even rumored that he’s dating or in romance with his former X-factor mentor Nicole Scherzinger 😅
im soooo happy for you Matt
That meses up i feel for him. Whlay i get looked at. Hes beautiful all that should matter
'he was told his look was "too gay'?
That's what Venus and Taurus does for you.
Not everyone can handle it.
But you should be able to handle yourself
without them.
I'm glad he won.
Hahaha they definitely exchanged numbers after. Why are we bumping knees?
Matt Terry and James Arthur were the only winners in the bottom 2
Joe Mcelderry , Matt Cardle , Little Mix , Sam Bailey , Ben , Louisa, Rak - Su went through every week never in the bottom 2
Rebecca furgeson!! He story is awful😢
Y are they sitting close like dat 😂😂😂😂
I love him.
It would have been different if he would just be proud and open about it from the start
He could have lost the next round... still a lot of bigots in this society. It also doesn't help that it is an active live voting competition. It makes sense to allow everyone to be judged on their singing ability and stage presence rather than their sexuality.
He looks incredibly better now he's free to be himself 💯🗣️
They're in a studio hence the seating arrangements...how did any of you cope at school or in lunchroom sharing desks? If you're bi curious just say so 💯🤷🏽♀️🗣️
Not sure..he looks a bit gay now.
Why didn't hebjust sit on his lap 😂
Bro why u touching his legs with your legs??????
Did he have to come out? I mean, you'd have to be Helen Keller to assume Matt Terry was straight. The flames of Narnia was everywhere. Also, who cares? Nobody has been checking for Matt Terry for years.
Sexuality isnt the issue here as an artist. if you put yourself as a sweet boi style gay, chances are you wont be expecting much of acceleration to the top. remember david archuleta? the same scenario. and public has their own judgement too. remember adam lambert? he didnt win because of his sexuality as public perceived that moment but he didnt allow that to define him. his music is beyond sweety and cutie... its all intense with fierce reality! and people love that. same with Sam Smith! Bring all your pain and struggles to music! enough for sweetums and cutie image! go beyond it> not being extremely ugly but extremely good as long as its within traditional acceptance. i mean not wearing an evil costume because that certainly hurts people with faith(like sam smith wearing demonic demonic outfits. just enough for young and old people to connect like hairstyle, clothing that must be trendy and latest appropriate to your age. dont be look too formal or too mature. too boring for young generation! for formal occations yes u can... even that interview, omg! there's something wrong with the set up> ugly and uncomfortable. i might go for standing or informal setup like a bar type thingy...
hey u guys, your knees are overlapping! what's that?
Not enough X factor maybe 🤔
Ricky Martin has collapsed his career after revealing his homosexual life too.
"He spoke to us for the first time since the release of his new single". Jeez, I wonder why? 🤔 They always have a story when there a new single or book to be sold.
The single isn’t even new, is just the latest thing he did. The point really went over your head didn’t it
@@Vi-lz8ev Didn't go over my head, I'm just not as gullible as you 👀
@@GARdotETH well, to call ME out of all people gullible is a huge indicator you have NO idea what you’re talking about 😫😂😂
@@Vi-lz8ev But I know gullible when I see it 🤔 You're on here trying to defend a two-bit celebrity mate.....what's that all about 😂😂
So gays can't be in competitions now if they hide their sexuality? Or they aren't allowed to tell their story afterwards?
TAINTED
HAHAHHA why are they so clossseee T_T it's hilarious
Twas obvious to a gay eye
so why does he lie on his audition that his girlfriend just dumped him??? should have been hoest to begin with!!!
Another Pip Squeakfield.
It was not a lie, he did have a girlfriend at that time.
It's fairer to have his singing be judged rather than losing the next round of voting when people judge his sexual orientation.
I'm gay who cares
Cringe
Omg who cares? You were given a tremendous opportunity and exposure.
Say thank you and move on.
And that will solve the Climate change crisis
Oh please, it's an advantage nowadays to be gay in the entertainment business.
It’s disgusting
@sales5280 what's disgusting?
@@gregallen418 it’s obvious isn’t it
@@sales5280 nope
@@gregallen418 I think you do darling
Nobody remembers him unfortunately
I don"t understand why up until to this day homosexuality is still a big issue. It is just a preference like choosing the most comfortable clothes to wear by an individual.
.... You had us in the first half. And I'm not smiling in the end. Ngl, the first half was better.
Why am i not suprised he's got new music out just in time to coinside with this interview🙄 another one playing the victim in order to kickstart their career.
Who cares I'm so sick of people crying about their life get over it
What is making your life so miserable that toxicity is oozing from your pores?
Can’t sing anyway…😂.
If he looks too campy and fem, he's not gonna go far. We want hot masculine manly singers that can give chills when you perform, not flappy campy sassy gestures and appearance that disgust us
Sounds like you have a problem
Face it as a professional, if you didn't win, next time. Don't use your sexuality to excuse why you didn't win.
He did win….
He won.
He won actually
The dude won....i swear people man. It also just prove you didnt watch the video. Ffs people..
Are you referring to the runner up? Because she was openly gay during the show.
They should not be allowed out in public never mind t v
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Bust down that closet door, babes. You can do it 😘
Yes people like you should not be allowed out in public.
