The Fab Five

Christine reminded me about something I've been meaing to blog about since the weekend - Bravo's new show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

The concept is that five gay men, each a guru in one area (fashion, grooming, food and wine, culture, or interior design), help a straight man each week accomplish a mission - one guy needs to get ready for a gallery opening, one wants to get his place nice so his girlfriend will move in.

Steven and I have been totally loving it - especially the cool intro. The guys getting remade are great sports about it, which is cool. The Fab Five are also really funny, especially Carson, the fashion guru.

I highly suggest checking it out. And if anyone knows who sings the theme song, let me know. I can't find the answer anywhere.

I love this show! I wish they'd make me over! Heck, I even signed Keith up for it since they won't take the likes of me.

Theme Song

The name of the band is called Widelife, and the song is All Things. Let me know if you find it. I'm hunting for it.

hi, i've been atching QE since it first aired on Bravo and I still can't get enough of them. they are, by far, hilariously entertaining and very great at what they do. makes me wish we could all hang out together!

from billboard.com...

An act named Widelife wrote and composed the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" theme song. Simone Denny is the featured vocalist on the song, which is titled "All Things." There are plans to release the song commercially, but nothing concrete has yet been announced.

.: megan said on August 9, 2003 04:04 AM :: link it :.

the song by Widelife is sung by Simone. According to the Qeer Eye web site the song should be available this summer

I recently started watching "QEFTSG" and I will have to say that it is one of the best shows on telvision right now. I see it rising to the same success as "Trading Spaces" soon. Mucho Kudos!!

This show rox!!!!

I cannot believe how many of the "straight-acting" queers out there refuse to even watch this show, claiming it perpetuates stereotypes - to me, it seems refusing to even watch it perpetuates the stereotype of a close-minded bigot. Heteros don't have a patent on ignorance, you know. And for the record, the Fab 5 may seem stereotypical, but when I was coming to terms with my sexual orientation, it sure as heck would have been nice to see there are others like me. Face it, hetero-wannabes: there are five LIKABLE, OPEN and OUT GAY MEN.

Its the same people from Canada who gave us the #1 smash dance floor single "I Dont Want You"...Widelife.

.: Bob said on September 28, 2003 04:23 PM :: link it :.

I have the "All Things" .mp3. Anyone who wants it, email me. :)

Jess- YOu have the mp3 of "All Things"?
Whats your email?

.: John Adair said on October 30, 2003 04:35 PM :: link it :.

For all those gay people who feel that this show perpetuates "homophobia" (which, I believe, only exists if one believes it exists), let me tell you that this show has allowed for me a growing tolerance for homosexuals. I don't need to see that gay people are "like everyone else" because, aside from their sexual preference, I know that already. The show, for me, allows a straight person to see homosexuals as not just people to be tolerated, but LIKED, for all their human qualities. And what makes this show most effective in this endeavor is that it it ISN'T hung up on homosexual POLITICS, which tends to turn people off, but it's more about 5 guys who have a lot of fun doing what they do, and people, gay or straight, can have fun watching them. If they're making people happy, it doesn't really matter about their sexual orientation or anything else.
