Enrique Iglesias sure knows how to win over gay fans a lot better than that Mika person. In an interview wirth the HX site, he chats about his headline-making appearance at London’s G-A-Y nightclub where he sang his love song "Hero" to a gay fan, about his gay friends, addresses rumors about his sexuality and says George Clooney, not Ricky Martin, would be his type if he were into men.
Here are some excerpts for you to enjoy:
Q. Tell me about your performance at G-A-Y nightclub in London.
A. To tell you the truth, I was surprised it was such a big deal. I’ve read a few things, and even when the owner called us up to ask us, he kind of had that attitude of, “I might as well try, but I don’t think he’s gonna do it.” I was like, “Yeah, it’d be cool to do it!”

Q Was that the first time you’d actively gone after your gay fan base?
A. It wasn’t so much going after the gay fans. I just like doing stuff that’s different. In my career I don’t want to do the same thing all the time and bore myself. What really drew my attention was that the owner said, “Look, this is the biggest gay club in London, and you’re going to see one of the best crowds you’ve ever seen in your whole life.” And that made me really, really want to do it. I didn’t care if it was gay or straight. It was about playing in front of a great crowd. When I got on top of the stage and started to sing, I’m telling you, the guy was completely right. They were singing so loud, the next day my left ear, where I had my ear monitor, was ringing so much. It was absolutely crazy.

Q. How did you choose the guy you sang “Hero” to onstage?
He was up on top of another guy having a good time, so I could clearly see him way, way back in the crowd. But if A. I ever pick out anybody at one of my concerts, I really just go with my instinct.

Q. Was that the most intimate you’ve ever been with a guy?
A. Yeah, that was probably the most intimate that I’ve been with a guy. [Laughs] I’ve never serenaded a guy before, I’ll tell you that much.
