- There has been backlash to Sam Smith's new song and music video "I'm Not Here To Make Friends". I don't usually react to pop or "mainstream" music very often, but since it's causing a bit of a stir I thought I'd see what all the fuss is about.

It's all been done before...has it not?
Justin, I would like to propose a suggestion for the theme tune.
Now that Rufus is around because you are on tour, Could you, please, ask him to play the cymbals in a "fading away mode" (I don't know the specific word for that drum beat) when you sing the last againnnnn?
It would be okay if he appears or not in the video if he doesn't want to. Anyway, It would be f***ing awesome!!!🫶
After calling him "they" I have lost all respect for you. Pathetic.
It has, Queen's "I Want To Break Free," and to be honest, Sam Smith appears to be channeling Madonna in this video, lol.
You seem to care a lot about pronouns and what other people liked to be called. Also, "they" has been used as singular form since 1375. It's not a new thing. You can call someone whatever you like, or you can call them what they'd like to be called. It's totally up to you.
Music videos have contained “cross dressing”, partial nudity and provocative dancing for as long as there have been music videos. If people are offended by the sexual nature of dancers gyrations and burlesque style outfits then maybe they could simply choose not to watch the videos! 🤯
If Sam Smith is non-binary how is the digital music recorded ?
What?
@@JoshFraser-co9zc I think it's a joke referring to the binary number system
EDIT: In contrast to what I said initially (I think I had read it with the wrong tone in my head or something, which ruined it for me), I've come to appreciate this joke now. I apologise for once calling it bad
@@edgeworth097 Oh ok
Recorded using a quantum computer? He is in superposition of the two genders.
@@jamesearl389 I can't tell if your emphasis on "great" is sarcasm.
I absolutely loved that in your mentions of flamboyant sex-symbol types in music, you bring up Freddie and Axl Rose... yet, whenever I think about amazingly flamboyant frontmen over the years, Justin Hawkins takes the bloody cake.
prince and gerard way should be mentioned here too
Don't forget Prince showing showing his ass cheeks on stage. Lenny Kravitz pants ripped and his dick came out and no one was bothered. Yet Janet and her boob, it was aa huge deal. Lenny squatted down and was singing and his tight jeans ripped.
Fuck yeah this man spandex's with the best of them!
If you weren't already suitably impressed with Justin's musical prowess, he sings the a capella intro perfectly in key, without any musical prompt or reference pitch.
Is that truly impossible?
@@te9591 practice makes perfect!
@@benl5341 perfect practice makes perfect.
@@benl5341 practice makes pitch perfect.
One of the hooks his channel had for me is also his musical knowledge and how he explains music composition, of which I know next to nothing but am fascinated about it.
Sam Smith is a good example of music for people who aren't fans of music
I've never heard a more accurate description for his music.
But…You cant deny the fact that he put on one HELL of a Grammy show💩🤢🤮
Denny Sensation is a good example of an absolute music snob
@@SwingRiots It doesn't take snobbery to know when music is shit and generic.
“Good time music for people who don’t know how to have a good time”
Sam Smith seems to want to be the new Boy George.
the problem is, Sam is butt ugly.
Except without the kidnapping someone, handcuffing and beating them, I suppose
@@hearmymotoredheart oh wtf
@LorcaLoca true he proved to be a badass when someone tried fking with him 😂
@@hearmymotoredheartSounds awesome.
Banned? No
Ignored, and never paid attention to... yes
Agreed.
Justin, you never cease to amaze me when it comes to both your musical appreciation and being just an awesome human being. Thanks for what you bring to the table!
No problem w Smith's flamboyant presentation. It's the obvious autotune that repulses. Smith is a minuscule talent compared to Elton John, Freddie Mercury, or George Michael. Nor has Smith recorded a song that is catchy and memorable as Relax.
Terrible song, not catchy at all, well said.
I think there is nothing wrong with Pat butcher's new music video.
It SO is. Made me laugh.
Frank pisses on IT, off camera though :)
I cracked up after reading that comment= Pat Butcher.
Ha🤣
Sam Smith thinks he's doing his Madonna 'Erotica' phase. As with her, so with him - it gets old very quickly.
That is exactly what it stirred up for me as well, that Madonna video.
At least she was visually appealling, Sam looks like a tubby binman who raided a stripper's closet.
Madge had a genuine and worthy feministic reason for Erotica though...
They/They're*
@@michaelhassard shush lad, he's a bloke we all know that lmao
There are many cups of tea in this world, this one is not mine. 😀
Never heard of Sam Smith before and I wish that still was the case.
How have you never heard of him, he’s been making hits for a decade.
@@nameisamine I also hadn't heard of him before this whole kerfuffle. Some people don't listen to the radio, watch TV or use social media.
@@MooseCastle but you must know at least one of Sam’s songs? You’ve never heard ”Stay with Me”? It used to be inescapable.
@@thebookfairy73 it’s gospel style piano ballad tho…
@@nameisamine : I've never heard of her either. I'm so fortunate.
It's all auto tuned, that's the biggest travesty of all. Over produced with shock for shock value. Shoving over sexualized garbage down kid's throats. What's the point? But have at it if that's your thing.
Nothing should be banned, save for noncery, just ridiculed and mocked out of existence.
Haha 😂 I can get onboard with that I think.
@@y007p3 it’s how things used to be, right? Now we have a bunch of spinsters trying to kill everyone’s fun.
Well, that’s what’s happening. Old school views are being pure mocked out of existence, seeeeeyaaaaaaa!
Nothing should be banned! Unless you're expressing the view that certain videos by Cardi B etc are nothing but pornographic trash featuring a cheap, strip-joint floozy which can be accessed by children!!?
@@bobo-zs9zv imagine believing that’s true.
Hi Justin, I was at the concert last night in Glasgow and had a blast! Big thanks to you and the guys for putting on a great show! Had to pick my jaw up off the floor after your headstand foot claps 🤣
Two requests from me would have been 'Friday Night' and 'Grace's Amazing Machines', but maybe next time 😃❤️
They haven’t done Friday night for 10 years. Not sure why? I think Justin hates it.
Its like watching Caligula made with special Olympics champions.
Wtf? I bet your mum is proud...
@@hanselmansell7555 No, but your mum is ok with it.
@@hanselmansell7555I would be. I'd be proud to raise someone with a keen sense of humour that is capable of independent thought & not swept up in bootlicking group think.
🤣🤣🤣 not only is that spot on but absolutely hilarious as well
@@bandersnatched he was still licking boots and following through hive mind there, my guy.
I miss when music was music. I preferred the analogue world
I’ve learned the difference between a cape and a cloak and I truly love Justin more and more with every video I watch.
Yes, & I think superman at one point had a cape, maybe in the b&w version where bullets bounced off his chest, but he still ducked when the gun was thrown at him...
I was also impressed that he said "basque or corset" because so many people just assume they're the same thing & call anything that looks a bit structured (or has lacing) a corset.
Not intending this as a call-out, but as a northerner I find it pretty telling how many in the south of england use northern accents to portray what they consider to be ignorant views, e.g. at 1:50. Happens all over the place, especially in TV and movies. Wish it weren't so, as someone who works down south and is tied by my accent to whatever biases people have when they hear me speak
Same thing happens with southern accents in the US
@@YourLoyalDeserter Yeah, I see that over here as well. Here in the UK, a Southern US accent (what I think of as a cowboy or Texas accent) is associated with "rednecks" or "hillbillies" or otherwise less educated, more ignorant people. That's effectively how northern English accents are perceived over here
It's OK don't cry, most English accents sound awful to me and that does not disclude Southern ones. Southerners are the reason that Americans call English accents gay. They are the reason the yanks think we all wear knickers like Sam Smith, so worry more about that than sounding less intelligent than you are
The same people who say ‘if you don’t like it, don’t watch it’ regarding this filth are the same ones who go out of their way to get classic British comedies banned
Can you point to a campaign to get a specific British comedy banned?
If your songs suck, you have to create buzz somehow.
True, mediocre at best!
I guess that's why no one listens to you
You're forgetting about the fact that it's actually good
@@Yourveryowncarrot i don't think they are, i think that is your opinion don't foist it on others...
Not my thing, but i remember when i was and Culture Club appeared people freaking out about Boy George. Same kind of thing now although maybe amped up. Every one wants be be shocking. Yawn.....
Well as a boomer I wasn't shocked by Boy George, I was impressed by his makeup skills. We grew up with drag in the UK, especially Danny La Rue, who appeared on main stream telly in the 50's, 60's 70',s, no one battered an eye lid.
Im ashamed to say i only just popped my The Darkness cherry last night Glasgow at the rip age of 49. Verdict, tremendous. Musicianship, tunes, energy, humour, pyros, fabulous clothing, headstand and shoulder riding guitar play. Bravo !
Hooray for us not-quite-50 folks.
@Alan Duval it's very very close. For me anyway.
@@2forapound817 Me too. End of May I'm 50. Not seen Darkness live, yet, though... and unlikely to, as things stand 😞
This video echoes "Its a Hard Life" by Queen, the artistic team and Sam have taken huge influence. The costumes, the eccentricity. Nobody does it better than Freddie, the original Queen
Thank you. Yes it does. First thing I thought of when I saw it. And forty years on Sam Smith can get away with things that Freddie Mercury couldn't in the 80's. However,l I do think that Freddie would have worn the costumes better.
@@chicochi3 absolutely!
@@chicochi3 Absolutely he would have done!
That's the one I was trying to remember, I knew the video reminded me of Queen but couldn't remember which track. Thank you
it’s so bizarre to refer to a man as “queen”, this gay slang never made sense to me
Without the garish video , the song would die a death being the standardised crap we are fed .
Each to their own , not having a go at all those who think this is the pinnacle of art
How can you call this music video standardized? And who’s feeding you it? Oh right, YOURSELF!😂

It's a cliche, Sam Smith has got a guaranteed role in the Gladiator sequel as the mad Emperor at an Orgy. This makes you realise how good Queen are because the music always stood up
I just love how you are so supportive, positive and accepting of all musical genres and all human beings. Another great video as always 💜
Quality Comment
That being said , GOd almighty save us from daughter of Satan trollop Cardi B.
makes for good character traits doesn't it? he does seem like an awesome dude just to hang out with
There comes a limit.
@@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz102 *in your opinion
Truly, the most outrageous thing about Sam Smith's video clip is that the best buns of 1975 weren't invited go contribute to provide vocals or his "juicy doubles" to the song and video! And thanks for advising on the distinction of a cloak and a Cape! Love this song from Sam Smith too
I wish I understood which buttocks this was referring to. 😩
Is it pretentious? Is it annoying? Is it obnoxious? Is Sam Smith's voice unpleasant to me? Yes. Is it harming anyone? No. They can do what they like.
No we can't ban bad taste. Just let it run its course and hopefully die out.
Batsuit has greatly varied in length and design over the eyes, but when the 'Caped Crusader' nickname was coined it was more like a cape than a cloak. Superman is actually wearing his baby blanket on his back.
I’m exited to find out how this is relevant to the video
If you go to about 8:44 in the video you will note that a glamorous discussion about the capes (or cloaks) of Batman and Superman begins.
Superman is a Muscle Mary.
Bar raised: Acapella air guitar with a finger-guns finish; Justin's "Justin Hawkins Rides Again" theme song performance flies to new heights.
my exact thoughts. that was brilliant!!
I've laughed all the way through this, with you mate. Not my kind of music but you're hilarious. Wonderful video. Camp as Christmas.
Spot on. Joyfully camp.
Not a big deal. People should just be who they are and stop being a billboard. As a straight guy I don’t feel the need to wear a shirt that says “I love vagina”. Just shut up and live your life.
Totally agree
Tbh, I expected it to be more raunchy than it was. I think after cardi b’s WAP, it would take a a lot to 😮 me.
I loved it, it’s already on repeat in my head! Although, if it carries on all day, I’ll probably hate it by tea time!
On a different note, I’m so pleasantly surprised to have stumbled across Mr Justin Hawkins on here. My hubby took me to see the Darkness, a few years back and, tbh I was not really excited by the prospect after my last gig with him to see Motörhead left me , should I say, a little disgruntled with him ( sorry, to each their own and all that).
Well, slap my thigh and call me roger, Justin was THE best frontman I’ve ever seen!!! I had an bloomin blast!!!! And I’ve been happily in love with this man’s unique heart ever since!!!!! Yes, JHawk!!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🥰
Justin, you are completely marvellous. Never change
The pornification of the music industry is a shame irrespective of whether the people driving it are male or female.
Lack of talent is the issue.
Definitely a lights off person.
@@robertbrowne7880 If you have any more cliches to your bow feel free to keep them to yourself. Before you embarrass yourself again, learn the difference between sexuality and pornography.
As soon as you learn the difference between Dance and pornography. Dance has been erotic since biblical times.
@@robertbrowne7880 A case of "lol, can't be arsed" is it? Why on earth would someone bother discussing this subject with you when you clearly don't know what the word "pornography" means. Referring to ancient erotica doesnt further your argument (as if you had one to begin with) when the depictions being referenced are sourced from modern pornographic themes.
Make a case for why pornographic themes should be depicted in unrestricted, mainstream culture, if that is what you believe. Otherwise, cya.
Honestly I'm calling bullshit on the 'only controversial because Sam Smith is non-binary' belief. WAP was EXTREMELY controversial, and I think Cardi B is bisexual but it's not a big part of her identity as opposed to Sam Smith.
Anaconda by Nicki Minaj is also an example of this, and I remember being really shocked there was no age restriction to it. There really should be for videos like this, I remember Become The Knight calling this out because his reaction to a (different) highly vulgar Cardi B video got restricted yet the original video didn't.
Honey - prejudice people will latch onto a "common sense" argument for attacking us. In this case "I am fine with Sam Smith being queer, I just don't want to see it. Oh, opps, I mean "children" to see it".
You will notice they don't clutch their pearls nearly as much for content that is aimed towards people like them. You mention Cardi B - yeah, she is black dude. The backlash against her was largely racist. Note the biggest voices against the video were also known racists (Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, etc.)
But what happens when we have overtly sexual videos released by white men? Benny Benassi's Satisfaction? Call on Me by Eric Prydz?
Silence.
Marginalized folk have seen this tactic used over and over, so either you are ignorant or playing that game.
@@callumscott1538 If you think Call On Me isn't widely criticised, maybe you're the one being ignorant. Also look at you suddenly trying to bring racism in the discussion to try to paint that as a factor when everything else was ruled out. But apparently only whitem en can be criticised without it being some kind of social issue 🤡
I don't think Justin would have a career if he didn't celebrate this stuff. Especially where he lives. Thought crimes and all that
Agree well said.
@I Like Trans WAP was utter trash directed by a pervert trying to influence children into the ways of Luciferian disciples.
Cardi B is cheap trash!!
Compared to say relax I don't think it's particularly raunchy,it always amazes me that since let's say Little Richard people are still ready to be offended by popular music. Sam Smith's music isn't my cup of tea but that's no reflection on thier talent.
And folk were offended by Elvis swinging his pelvis years ago....
True that
That video was banned and they had to shoot an alternative. Again, why do NPCs use the same easily debunked talking points, its mental.😂
I remember when Culture Club's Do You Really Want to Hurt Me came out. Of course there was some shock, but everybody loved the song, and Boy George was so likeable, and he didn't pretend to lecture anybody on anything nor was classless.
Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax was just pushing the limits, but again, the song was awesome and the talent was right there.
Now, we don't have here either a good song, a good artist, nor a good image.
It's the truth.
Decades and generations had their low moments of debauchery and idiocy, it keeps things spicy, but now we're definitely in a critical situation.
Bronski Beat.
and Boy George was such a cutie
Stop mistaking your opinion for 'the truth'.
Modern music is so bland and boring they have to do this kind of thing to try and appear, 'controversial.' Prince wore an outfit similar to this 30 years ago BTW but his music was amazing!
I remember all the controversy over Frankie Goes To Hollywoods Relax video, which was was 40 years ago. Just goes to show that nothing changes, a good song is a good song, the video is just an added bonus.
only this song is not even close to be as good as relax
we all knew that Holly Johnson was gay, nobody knows wtf Sam is.
@@mikeg.6590 Very true. It's very confusing. I think there is a difference between sex and gender. So sex means characteristics that are biologically defined (biologically male and female). I don't think Sam Smith would contest this fact. Gender is something that is socially constructed. I think non binary relates to gender meaning masculine and feminine, so therefore non-binary means not one or the other but both. It's therefore possible for a non binary person to be attracted to members of the same sex. That's how I would understand it anyway.
..but the SS song is sh*t..
That video was banned though? FGTH literally had to shoot an alternative public friendly version. Why do all you people have the same easily dismissed talking points, its very cult-like.
In a UK media landscape dominated by outright genocidal rhetoric towards trans people, you almost consistently used their pronouns respectfully and were genuinely positive about their contribution to popular music.
It's refreshing!
Men are men women are women rest is just pretending
I suppose when a song’s that dull and unimaginative you have to do something to get it attention. Madonna did it better with ‘Erotica’, but this hardly earns the label of controversial, contrived would be more accurate.
For a perfect example see anything inflicted upon the world by Satan's own Cardi B.
@@bennyhillschineseblokechar3689 “Satans own Cardi B” 😂
Madonna did it much better. This song is a pos
It's a good job the video is a bit 'out there' because the song itself couldn't be more 'in there'. Calvin Harris is involved and you don't get a blander pair of hands than that.
Sam Smith has a dad bod but walks around like he is the sexiest man alive.
Trying to be shocking just becomes boring. Just ignore Sam Smith, this would hurt him most.
At my work there are 2" wide red and black striped, rubber water hoses cooling much of the machinery. They remind me of trousers I once saw you wear on stage. Every time I see those hoses, I think of you, Justin.
I honestly think it's much ado about nothing because it's nothing NEW. I grew up being a huge fan of Elton John. My dad owned all of Elton's albums and i used to "steal" them and listen to them frontwards to backwards. We must remember how incredibly flamboyant he was back in the day. He's become a bit more less so in his older years, but in the 70's and 80's he was performing wearing feather boas, sequined suits, crazy eyewear and all sorts of outlandish costumes. I don't recall people throwing hissy fits over his choice of attire or performing style. Everyone thought it's simply Elton being Elton. Or what about Liberace? Same thing. He was known for his outlandish costumes and campiness. Or David Bowie.... the list goes on and on... So I honestly don't see where Sam Smith is doing anything different from many of the musicians/performers that came before him. But that's just my opinion.
Yeah, I don't think it's really anything new. Pop stars / rock stars are almost always flamboyant and provocative. It's part of the appeal to the youths! Or at least I think it is; it was when I was young anyway and I assume it's still the same😂
Hadn't heard the song before, or even heard of Sam Smith, but the song is pretty solid in my opinion. Very catchy!
@@idontwantahandlethough the way to appeal to the youth is by being gay or trans? you want flamboyant role models?
Don't forget Sweet, who were a brilliant very butch rock band,
@@imwelshjesus yes! So true! They were the original "glam" rock band.
@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol no, that's not what we are saying. Just saying that there has always been very flamboyant performers. It's nothing new. Even our lovely host, Justin (although straight), is known for his outlandish stage persona. He wears skin tight body suits and a bare torso and STRUTS across the stage. That's why he said in a recent video that he had been jogging in order to be able to fit into his bodysuits on stage. But, that's apart of his personal style. And, I must add, that nobody on here is mentioning how "out there" Justin is on stage.
I did not know that distinction between cloaks and capes. Thanks for the education!
Hi Justin. My first ever performance on guitar was a short rendition of ‘I belive in a thing called love’ when I was 12 years old at my leavers assembly. Wish I had footage to show you.
Question. Will you use your Laney amps on tour or for recording albums? or do you stick with mesa?
Thanks
Your trusty fan Jack Banister
I love this!!! ♥️♥️
Let's not use words like cis. That cedes linguistic territory and pulls you into arguing within their paradigm.
We love You Justin please don’t ever change 🥰
I'm not really keen on Sam Smith or golden showers myself so it's not for me. Nice shirt Justin.
My arse is now flat, all the fat moved round the front to my stomach. Bloody menopause!
Oh Justin, had you been in this video, no one would look at anyone else. Poor Sam would be hella-jealous!
Justin you really are the light in a (sometimes) dark world, Keep it up dude
Freddy Mercury had more class.
Did a gig at the place they filmed this at. Food was fantastic! 😂
For real though, do people realise that being angry at music/music videos is a pointless endeavour lol
Hyuk Hyuk hyuk
People are unhappy because of the public display of degeneracy.
Totally agree with your statement that part of an artists job is to be polarizing. Some of the most prized and renowned art ever made is/was polarizing. If it's not there to make a statement and make people feel something, anything at all, to stop and take a moment to think and feel, then what's the point? What purpose does it serve? Literally all music is polarizing, there's songs my wife adores that I absolutely cannot stand and vice versa. That's the beauty of art.
A shit stain on a canvas is not art..
Some of the most polarising art is made to showcase the absurdity of the status quo or to offer an alternative. This music video is nothing like that, it doesn't polarize because it makes an uncomfortable statement about the world, it's just uncomfortable. It just goes along with the debauchery and hyper-sexualization of society, it doesn't make a statement about anything other than this is even more gross to look at than other music videos
As a fetishist autogynephile, he crosses into territory that children don’t need to be eroticized by. Being exposed to any kind of fetish isn’t really good for pre-pubescent or pubescent children. It can have permanent negative influences on their relationships and self-esteem. The first erotica you see burns deeply into your mind. I don’t think kids will be interested for the music. The weird thing is that it’s not funny and not pleasing to look at. Also I don’t see that he has any insight. Sam has a tattoo of a child in boxers looking in a mirror. Narcissism anybody?
Groomers gonna groom
I wonder whether Sam caused controversy because they have a body type that’s not accepted by the mainstream as attractive. Because when Tom Holland dressed up like a sexy woman and danced to umbrella people loved it. Although I also think there’s other reasons why Sam isn’t popular.
Totally agree! Harry Styles wears dresses etc and he's totally adored by people of all ages from all over the world. Granted he's not non-binary and doesn't discuss his sexuality. I think people's issue with Sam is their body type and I think a lot of people feel Sam is pushing their sexuality/gender in people's face and being too vocal about it. For the record, I don't agree, I think everyone should be free to express themselves how they want and I think Sam looks great.
This will be the case 100% the time.
I don’t have a problem with any of this if that’s your thing. But it isn’t for me…..
I don’t see why that’s not an appropriate opinion either. I am straight so I simply can’t understand or enjoy watching overtly gay stuff. It’s like if you asked me to speak a language I have no interest in….I simply don’t understand it and that’s okay.
Acceptance should also be given to people who simply are not interested in this type of stuff but we get lumped into a hateful group which is messed up.
Your reverb is killer. Maybe my favorite intro ever.
sorry Justin, I just don't agree with what HE is doing at the moment. He's complicit in totally screwing up the music awards, just to appease the woke brigade.
Yes. It’s too much. It’s too much when Katie Perry does it, as well. I don’t think the sexualization or exploitation of people for money is ever a good idea, regardless of gender. 🇺🇸
Whoever writes this video titles is a Youtbue marketing genius and deserves a raise. Any hater would come to hate and all they willjust find Justin's positivity and humor. Great move.
For the record... your glasgow show was truly superb !
And that is exactly why I stopped listening to the radio a long time ago.
Love your being positive without being annoying. Thanks Justin
It isn't for me, but that doesn't mean I can't respect it.
Dude clearly in his best life.
I commend that.
Thanks for being one of the more decent folks in the comment section today. A lot of people showing their asses, and their’s are nowhere’s near as desirable to the world as Justin’s. 🤷♂️
Wow, it's weird to think that people are having their best life pedalling debauchery.
Banning is obviously completely inappropriate for a modern, liberal democracy in the 21st C, but then making a music video that glamorizes golden shower fantasies isn't really that great either. Probably only playing it after the watershed on TV is the solution and releasing it as "official audio" with a still image is the solution for UA-cam etc.
Modern liberal democracy is poison if this sort of thing must be tolerated in it.
it shouldnt be a case of anything goes just because its the 21st cy and a liberal democracy. We got kids killing kids every other week. Just how liberal does the world wanna get. Gay golden showers in public parks..
I think Sam smiths been listening to Shalamar because this sounds a lot like “gonna make this a night to remember” and as for shocking, the bottle in the face was a bit much but not much else, just a lot of gusset shots mainly Sams.
. . . and they don't scrub up tasty, neither!
Does no-one remember the original Frankie Goes To Hollywood video? That had women in bondage gear and leathermen. It's almost as if, in everyone's rush to indulge in competitive outrage and pearl-clutching, people have forgotten that the 80's was a thing.
Prince...Madonna...many more?
Or every Queen music video?
I didn't like that video as a kid either. It was too much for my brain to process. And I thought they were getting pissed on which grossed me out.
Amazing...that's exactly how I feel about Sam's new video.
Yea this video gave me secondhand embarrassment when I was showed it. I don't have much respect for music like this. This poppy, let me shock you, over sexualized repetitive sht. Also ive read it takes about 15 writers and a couple producers for him to make a singke song. Nah. I'm gay so it's got nothing to do with that. It's just cringe! Lol
I agree with the song being catchy, however my views as a mum to three and not having the internet when I was growing up is: I agree that there should be some censorship about the ages of people who can see these videos. Because allowing young impressionable children that do not recognise them as only being a show or bravado, opens up those young people to abuse. I have always told my children that they can tell me things because if they don’t I cannot protect them. No one is going to get them and an adult that tells them they will or try’s to scare them into keeping quite is saying that because they are going to be in serious trouble if they get caught. All artists who are behind children growing up to be who they want to be without being pulled from one side to another should promote that. Also to all those parents complaining if you are oppressively strict you allow those individuals who are seeking to abuse children in as someone who is understanding and seemingly listens to your children all while pulling them slowly away. So listen to your children build trust so if someone approaches them online or in person they will tell you. ❤
You just know the pitch meeting for that video was along the lines of "we're going to be as controversial as possible and go out of our way to make everyone hate it and then we can say it's because they're just homophobic".
Was there a golden shower in this video or was there just a badly placed sprinkler
That shirt is GLORIOUS!
Hi Justin! "Cis" is just short for "cisgender," meaning someone whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth :))
We used to call that sex stereotyping back in the day.
@@Mel-wn9gb No, that’s something completely different, Marcia.
Pro tip: If you see the word “gender” in a word, it’s not about “sex”. They’re completely different concepts. Thus the concept of “cis-” or “non-cis” GENDER vis-a-vis sex. Please log off and read a book. One without pictures.
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin Thanks for trying Jan, but the idea that we all have a 'gender identity' that 'corresponds' with our sex or not, making us 'cis' or 'trans', is literal sex stereotyping. Sex stereotyping is sexism. Awkward.
Wow, you need to read a book written this century, Thindy. Sex and gender have been established to be conceptually different for decades now. Do try to catch up, hun. “Back in the day” we also slathered baby oil on ourselves and lay in the sun for hours. Welcome to 2023. Not awkward at all for the rest of us. 🤷🏼♂️
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin Yes, decades ago - no hundreds of years ago - women established that 'gender' is a sexist, oppressive, social system, not an 'identity'. This ideology is not progress. It's the same old shit in a new package. You need to read a book with your critical thinking skills engaged.
I’m sick of his ‘no closet can hold me look.’
Dude, do you have perfect pitch!??
That acapella intro theme was perfectly in pitch!
Anyone still concerned about someone elses sexuality has serious problems , Freddie has been my favorite since my first listen of Killer Queen / Flick of the Wrist way back late 74 , I've been accused of being gay by some people my entire life because,
My lifelong love of Queen
I'm thin , always have been
I'm 60 and single , never married ,no kids
The ignorance of some people is scary.
That mother's got a remarkably deep voice.
My favorite JH vid so far. I’m not a fan of SS “butt” now I can’t stop thinking of the melons in a small bag. 🤔

Great video - thanks for introducing me to this bop of a song. Have never really been a big Sam Smith fan, although I’ve always thought he was very talented. This song has changed my mind. I’m going to check out that video! Thanks for always introducing me to things I never would have heard, otherwise. I’ve discovered a lot of bands I really love through this channel.
This trans stuff is way beyond a joke when will the madness end.
Fucking never. Cry about it.
Not seen your vids here on UA-cam before but love your refreshing attitude and your open mind.. you seen a cool guy and clearly talented yourself :) with regards to Sam Smith.. I think he's amazing and people should live and let live!
Just got home from Glasgow, fantastic gig last night folks.
First time seeing the Darkness live but definitely not my last.
Highlight of the show was Frankies suit (or his mum).
Needs. MORE. PYRO!!
Welcome tae Glasgow!
Ucht I missed that one 😢 it sounds like you had a great time! 😅
Surprised at the level of bigotry in the comments section. That's sad 😔
We all remember your fantastic backside from "Rock and Roll Deserves to Die" - you still got the rear of the year at your age. Good on you, mate!
Define we?
Where did the guitar magically appear from??? Enquiring minds need to know!!! 😆
It came into the room at 4.04
Yes! I also got a bit confused🙃
Nothing wrong with being gay, or crossdressing… it’s the demand to make people think a man is a woman that is problematic…
CIS = Cisgender (often shortened to cis; sometimes cissexual) is a term used to describe a person whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth.
“It’s a way of marginalising a normal person” - Norm MacDonald
Why does non-binary always mean “I want to wear dresses”? Be whatever gender (or not) you want to be. But it seems the only aspect of the feminine nature that gets explored is costumery and cosmetics. I can sing falsetto too. That has nothing to do with gender. Surely there’s more to non-male than those aspects. SOOOOOOOOO tired of hairy legs sticking out from under women’s (NOT non-binary, but *women’s*) garb.
"The feminine nature". Sure it's not about sex stereotypes.
@@Mel-wn9gb when you learn that sex and gender are 2 different things, get back to me so we can have an intelligent dialogue. 🙄
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin As though we don't all know your backward ideology by now. When you learn that the concept of 'gender' is based in nothing more than sex stereotyping get back to me. We went over this in the 60's and 70's already. Please catch up.
the music sounds so computerized. dreadful
Blimey, Justin - you have perfect pitch! That intro was bang on key :)
Not a word on golden showers? I'm disappointed.
