What's his appeal??? - Michael Bolton Discussion

He looked like Kevin Costner with long hair!

People like drippy ballads, same reason Celine Dion sold a bucket load.

reply

Yeah, they liked his drippy songs so that made him attractive to them.

They really took the P out of him on 2 1/2 Men.

Kevin Costner, another supposed "hunk" I don't get!

At least Céline had a couple of decent songs and nobody's swooning over her.

reply

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 3 years ago

At least Costner never sung ballads! He just appeared in videos of them. 🤔

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

Ah man, be careful of what you write on the internet! What if he reads this and he's up for a challenge!?!

reply

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 3 years ago

Costner covers Bolton! That's an entire album right there.

You better watch out, buddy.😑

To me he always sounded like he was in a lot of pain. All of that anguished screeching.

reply

[–] Cognoscente (2463) a year ago

Even more so than metal singers.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

He has a great voice and some really good songs.

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

GREAT voice? REALLY good songs? Yikes, I've really got to greatly disagree with you there.

reply

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

He is one of my top 5 favourite male vocalists.

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

It's nice that he has at least one fan.👍

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

HE HAS MILLIONS OF FANS...YOU JST ARENT ONE THEM...THATS COOL...YOUR INSISTANCE THAT NOBODY DOES/SHOULD LIKE HIM IS VERY ONE SIDED AND KIND OF PETTY.

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

Lol, apparently you're looking for a fight again. Which is curious after the thread you posted on GD.

I didn't insist on anything, I clearly presented my opinion as merely an opinion.

Lighten up, Francis.

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

ALLABY NAILED IT...DUDE IS A TALENTED SINGER WHO RELEASED MANY GREAT SONGS...HIS STYLE ISNT FOR EVERYONE,BUT ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THAT HE IS TALENTED ISNT BEING 100% TRUTHFUL.

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

100% truthful here. I find his songs absolutely boring. And his voice is nothing special, it's too raspy and dramatic for my taste.

But as you can read, I mostly focused on his supposed attractiveness to women.

reply

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

IM NOT INTO DONGS,SO I CANT SPEAK ON HIS ATTRACTVENESS...HE IS VERY TALENTED THOUGH.GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR TOO.

"IM NOT INTO DONGS"

Why, that's not very openminded, Kowalski!

reply

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

MY BAD...ALLOW ME TO ALTER THAT FOR YOU....

"IM NOT INTO DONGS,ANYMORE"

I MADE MY CHOICE AND I HAVE NO REGRETS.

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

Dongs have millions of fans...you just aren't one of them...

reply

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

OH...IM A FAN...I JUST DONT WANT TO PLAY WITH THEM ANYMORE.

reply

[–] Ripkens25 (1901) 3 years ago

At what age do women stop wanting to play with dongs? (And why?)

reply

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

ACCORDING TO MY WIFE?...A MONTH AFTER WE MET.🙂

reply

[–] Ripkens25 (1901) 3 years ago

Are you male or female?

reply

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

MALE.

It's food related. Wedding cake.

[–] Octo (213) 3 years ago

That is dumb as shit. So you can't tell at all what a woman would find attractive? If I put Brad Pitt 20 years ago and Donald Trump next to each other you'd be entirely clueless on who is better looking?
When you look at yourself in the mirror, how can you know if you look good or not?
It's not completely arbitrary. That attitude comes from some immature homophobia or something.
Bolton has very masculine chiseled features, strong chin, powerful neck, squinty eyes, clearly in shape.
And a fantastic voice.

reply

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

YOU SEEM TO THINK ALL WOMEN HAVE A SINGLE SET OF LIKES IN MEN....THATS VERY CHILDISH.

JUST SO AS WE ARE CLEAR...IVE HAD A PENIS IN MY MOUTH...IM NOT GAY,BECAUSE I KNOW IM NOT...YOUR POST SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THOUGH.

reply

[–] Octo (213) 3 years ago

Looks are subjective yes. But only to an extent. Even if you're personally not attracted to, say Rihanna, you can probably still tell she's considered attractive by a majority.

reply

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

SURE...BUT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE BASELINE ATTRACTIVE...WHAT TAKES IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL FOR PEOPLE IS INDEFINABLE AND DIFFERS EXTREMELY FROM ONE PERSON TO THE NEXT.

reply

[–] chilone (17262) 2 years ago

The only penis I've ever wanted in my mouth is my own but alas, no can do.

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

I'm a woman and I find none of those feateres in Bolton attractive. And I'm just not a fan of his voice, perhaps if he'd choose to sing in a different genre.

reply

[–] Querelle (1603) 3 years ago

He's like having Fabio come to life off your romance cover and serenade you with his dulcet tones. I don't understand not wanting that.

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

Good lord, I definitely don't want Fabio!!!🤣🤣🤣

reply

[–] Querelle (1603) 3 years ago

more for me I guess.

Have fun! But try not to go on any rollercoaster on your first date!👍

You owe me a new keyboard, it's full of barf!

[–] Ripkens25 (1901) 3 years ago

MB has a strong and soulful voice. And he sings with passion. I’m not sure when or why he became a punchline, and it’s a shame. He’s clearly talented...he doesn’t seem to be arrogant...he has a good sense of humor about himself...and you never read any bad press about him. I can see how all of that can be pretty attractive. There’s certainly nothing negative in there.

[–] Kowalski (57911) 3 years ago

His silky flowing long blonde fabulous hair.

He's Thor before Thor was cool.

"His silky flowing long blonde fabulous hair."

Maybe Fabio had hair like that, but Bolton's hair looked like that of a scarecrow.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 3 years ago

Who's Fabio?

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

Some dude with silky flowing long blonde fabulous hair.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 3 years ago

That's Michael Bolton right there.

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

No man, like I said, he looks like a dog or a scarecrow.

This is the guy who looks like an uncool Thor:

[–] actionkamen (23176) 3 years ago

Lol.

Seriously tho'. It's the hair, I say. When Bolton cut his hair short, his popularity diminished. Kinda like Samson.

reply

[–] Stratego (29245) 3 years ago

The Felicity effect.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 3 years ago

I dun geddit. From wikipedia:

The Felicity effect is an effect observed during acoustic emission in a structure undergoing repeated mechanical loading.

It negates the effect of emission silence in the structure that is often observed from the related Kaiser effect at high loads. A material demonstrating the Felicity effect gives off acoustic emission at a lower load than one previously reached in an increasing load cycle regime.

Yeah, I'm also too stupid to get science. I'm talking about the tv show from the 90s.

[–] R_Kane (15828) 3 years ago

His appeal was zero. Too many women want to pursue an unattainable fantasy because it’s SAFE. No chance of real EMOTIONAL intimacy and subsequent heartache.
