Well I'm afraid I will have to strongly disagree on Wills behalf. The talent show he was on, like the X-Factor now, wraps it's contestants in a bubble. They aren't allowed to speak to the press. Will was out to all the other contestants, and all the people who ran the show. He didn't lie that he had a girlfriend in the short VT tapes they show about their homelives. Short of doing what he was being judged on, ie: sing, whilst wearing 'I'm a homo' t-shirt, I don't know what else he could have done.
I've been to a couple of his concerts, which were great, and a fair percentage of the audience was made up of screaming young girls, who obviously didn't appear to feel cheated at all.
Interestingly Alex Park, was outed in the press, which was a bit late as she was already out to her friends and family as a lesbian, yet went on to win by a massive margin on Fame Academy. It looks like the majority of people do phone in their votes based on talent, and not on petty minded prejudices.
If you want to know of a very well known entertainer, who could be accused of cheating his fans for the last forty years, pm me and I'll tell you what I saw him up to in a bar in Amsterdam.
