Snapshot window of Reality of Male COMING OUT in US Entertainment...2006
ldorseyd16 February 2009
The show was conceived, produced and created all during the filming sequences. These are true experiences for these entertainers. The guys are MIRROR twins, not identical twins, and that adds a true spice to their interactions with each other and others. They are not actors, they are not professionally trained musicians, Just naturally talented singer/songwriters.

LOGO produced the show because the essence of it would be to show a number of American GLBT realities. Self-discovery, coming out to friends, coming out to family, especially a deeply religious one that does not accept the concept of GLBT sexual orientation as being valid. The attempt to produce music in music industry homophobic Nashville failed, only a move to West Hollywood allowed it to happen.

The future is left unexplored.

Sometimes You Just Don't Need to Know
DreamPilot23 November 2006
In this time of blogging, podcasting and myspace - society - especially the younger generations have this odd belief that everyone else in the world is fascinated by their lives. Every time you eat a potato - go blog about it - oh my god - someone clicked on my myspace acct - they're now my friend - etc etc etc. We're suffering from internet and reality TV overload folks - sometimes we just don't NEED to know every little painful and boring detail about painfully boring people who may (to some people I guess) look cute.

This show is representative of all that and more. If you honestly think that your own life is so boring, that you would find following around two self absorbed, talentless, karaoke singers as they yap on and on about stupid crap to be interesting - you need to turn off this show and improve your life.

This show portrays the very worst stereotypes of young gay men possible, rags on religion and does nothing to advance or contribute to society to have an open and honest discussion about homosexuality. And of course - not every show can or should be a social milestone BUT then at the very least a TV show could be entertaining or fun or emotional or interesting - none of which this show achieves.

It's like watching people look at themselves in a mirror. If you find that fun - you'll like this show.
