New Videos by Hot, Queer Rockers!
Two new videos are out featuring electro-popsters Naommon and Brian Kent roaming the streets of two very different New Yorks.
There's something giddily-80s about Allnighter, Naommon's ode to the city's nightlife; I wouldn't be surprised to hear of a Madonna collaboration in his future. Watch the video below and let me know if you think he's as hot as I do.
Next up, Brian Kent. Brian reminds me a bit of Jessica Simpson with his big mouth and earnestness, but nothin' wrong wit dat...cuz the man is hot. His video for Breathe Life shows a different side of the city, where his positive energy spreads itself over a streetful of cranky New Yorkers. Count on this song to be a Pride parade anthem. His album is also available on iTunes, as well as stores nationwide. Take a look at his video below and let me know what you think...
That first video...boring, no feeling.
The second (he is damn hot, yet doesnt belong with the cheesy dance too) was kind of too typical and sadly/oddly too gay. I felt that his voice didnt fit with the genre.
I'd think with us being gay that we could create something more original and less stereotypical.

I couldn't disagree more with the prior comment on Brian Kent. Too gay, what does that mean? I thought it was very cross over in terms of the gay straight factor if that's what he/she was referring to. His voice is perfect on the track and what "cheesy dance" are they referring to? I don't see dancing. Maybe burning tree should create something "more original" and "less sterotypical" since he/she has all the answers.

Actually...I agree a little bit with burning tree. The first video he comes right out and says 'take me home'...pretty boring (and cliched) compared to, say, 'Take me back to your house' by Basement Jaxx...you just have to say it in a different way.
And Brian Kent (Yes, I agree, he's handsome), sounds like he should be singing musical theatre or something, which isn't bad thing...just not the voice you want for house music.

Plus...their voices don't exactly blow you away. Talent apparently doesn't really matter anymore :(

To me,neither song had a hook,so they just sat there,musically flatlined. If the guys can make it on their looks alone,more power to em.Second singer OVER-ENUNCIATES so he kind of has the same sing/chewing effect on me Johnny Mathis sometimes has.I do not wish to be that aware of the jaw movement of the singer. The songs struck me as generic.If you're gonna do a dance song,tear it up a little guys,you sound a little too "nice."

The first video was HOT!!!! Never mind what has been said previously, it was hot, steemy and good; innovative! Naommon is my new favourite musical star. The second video was allright...not great....Brian Kent is hot, but his music is not....it sounded like a demo tape for a formula dance song.

I wanted to like these songs, I really did. But I have to agree with the guys who commented before that they are pretty boring. No hook, no clear message - and lousy lyrics. The phrase 'spread my wings and fly' should be banned from any song! Sorry, but I found them bland and the videos unimaginative and confusing.

'Steemy' is spelt 'Steamy', and you only use the semi colon (;) if what comes after it can stand alone as a sentence...hahahaha.

I like Brian Kent's video better then Naommon's. I like how Brian's song made people feel after he walked by them when they were arguing,and then they felt better about themselves and forgot what they were fighting/talking about.

Hot, queer rockers??? I was really excited at first when I read this headline.. but then I saw the videos and my bubble quickly bursted. First of all, this is is not rock in any way, shape or form. This is that cheesey, and easily forgettable dance music that you hear in those god awful gay/indie films. I call false advertisement!! And these guys are not hot. Not ugly, but definitely not hot.

I totally agree with most of you that the first video is crap. But how can you not like the second one? It's absolutely amazing.

The first vid kind of screams the fact that if you walk around NYC today there are all sorts of 20-somethings making music videos....
The second one is kind of like he's ultra-ken doll out there in the clouds...but the guy can actually sing
I don't think he's really gay, but the waiting to die video by Mickey Avalon is pretty good....he's like a rapping iggy, I think Santino is in it for a second.... I saw it on youtube the other day and it was like....

The music and the videos were not very good to me. The guys themselves are okay I guess, and the fact that they are gay, isn't enough reason to endure anymore of the torturous sounds they're producing.

The first song was nice, but a better video would have helped it...too dark... the second song made me smile and feel all good inside, the guy is hot, the video is hot, he has a really sweet voice, I am pasting it to my web page!

Brian Kent performed at the Olympia Washington Pride Day for 5,000+ people
& we have never rocked out so hard as we did with this mighty package of energy. He is talented & great to look at. Yes, very easy on the eyes, & a voice that is easy to listen too. Plus, he is a great guy to talk with. His voice is not over-done like so many wanna-be singers today.
