Some people on here showing that they've never been out clubbing. EVERYONE bops along to Rihanna songs when they come in in 'Straight' clubs, she's actually the only Pop Female I regularly hear out on the Main Dancefloor and not the secondary "Cheese/Pop/00s" dance floors.
You don't have massive success in an area of music (Rihanna/Katy with singles, 2009 Gaga with Albums etc) without having straight people on board. The gays aren't *that* powerful.
