Tommy page gay
It made me remember Tommy Page for the first time in a long time and I went into a deep dive to find out who this guy was, and just why was he forgotten. Well, while he was being marketed to the older girls, so were two far more formidable rivals for teen idol attention — Luke Perry and Jason Priestly.
Of course, as previously stated, Tommy Page continued to be popular in Thailand, which became the only country that he continued to tour and release music in.

Seymour took a chance on Tommy and his debut self titled album was released in But where the album hit big was in the Asian market, primarily in Thailand and Japan. Page's third album, released inwas titled From the Heart, and his vocals there showcased a wider range with higher notes than previous efforts.
Well one night the unfamiliar tracks caught the attention of Sire Records executive Seymour Stein. But what dismays me is that week after week the album is still there, and nobody ever buys it. But the other factor that hurt his popularity was that while his association with The New Kids on the Block catapulted him to the top of the charts, it also dragged him down just as fast.
That summer Tommy became a supporting act on the New Kids summer tour, and he began to get featured heavily in teen magazines. Luke Perry and Jason Priestly were marketed in such a similar way as Tommy that they wore similar fashions and fulfilled that specific fantasy the teen market wanted.
On this album, the ballads were more orchestral. A boy who was more sensitive and sophisticated and was a master at romance. Bottom line is that a boy band only has an initial shelf life, and eventually their fan base grows up to other things, and the oversaturation of yesterdays pop group eventually becomes annoying to the fickle public.
It may sound dumb now, but at fifteen years old there was no way in hell I was going to tell anybody at school that I liked this song. I find it interesting that, in the case of Groban and Buble, Page had them dressing and cutting their hair in very similar styles as he had when he was in music with much success.
It was bad enough kids laughed at me for listening to The Monkees.

Within the next two years The New Kids popularity was declining fast, and so was anything associated with them. The teen magazines marketed Tommy as being a boy for the older sisters of the New Kids fans. Well, back in the US, Sire was happy enough with the chart placement of his first singles, but they felt that Tommy could get a lot bigger on the teen market.
His life is sad, as an LGBTQ person that is heartbreaking, but I don't really see what that has to do with how gross it is to have an adult man kissing a child on tv. In fact, Tommy Page got so big in Thailand that while he eventually fell into obscurity in North America, he continues to be a pop icon in that country to this day.

But in a sense, it was a matter of perfect timing because the NKOTB were at the zenith of their popularity and anything they put out was going to go to the top. I think what's more disturbing/sad is the fact that Tommy Page was gay. In the process, I became a Tommy Page fan.
Tommy cited the songs in the album were inspired by Wilson Phillips. In reality, Tommy was gay, but it was a well-kept secret by the management for obvious reasons. If he had the best of everything, why did Tommy Page fall into obscurity? Perhaps Tommy was just ahead of his time.
That's more disturbing than portraying a grown adult man kissing a child? When the song hit me fifteen years later it was a different story. Sa-Fire and Page co-wrote the song, which was released as a single overseas.
