Reba McEntire: Gay Icon

I had a gay boss from the South who loved Reba.

Ahem.

Who?

R2 Reba was and is bigger than Dolly

R4, definitely. I like both, but I think the only country musicians who have sold more albums than Reba are Garth Brooks and Shania Twain.

Isn't she a republican?

R5 one thing I think a lot of early 90s, like mid-2000s artists benefited from was the platform switch from Cassette to CD, a lot of albums were purchased twice. Dolly was big during vinyl records.

She's more than just a republican -- she's a Trumpkin and actually wrote a song attacking people who oppose Trump in January. 😭

I had always liked her but this is like finding out someone you've always liked is a child molester.

I try to remind myself she's uneducated and a southerner, but it doesn't help.

R8 her new song was about faith and people getting along. Not sure how you took away that it was about smearing Liberals.

bigger than dolly? go blow!

when she decided to go by "Reba" she had a lot of nerve. she is a horrible person.

R10 how was Dolly bigger, other than her tits?

Because then you realize Scott Baio isn't a Southerner, unless you count his ancestors from Southern Italy.

Reba won more awards, sold more albums and her tours grossed more than most the men in the 90s.

dolly is more beloved than that reba bitch.

I can't get past the wall-eye thing or whatever it is with eyes. Drives me nuts.

whose eyes??

R16 think he was referring to Reba

thank you R17

Reba is definitely a huge star, but Dolly is an icon. Different league.

Iirc, Reba was close with GWB.

Bump

She's a bitch!!!!!!

No. Not evah going to be.

If you didn't see her in concert in the 1990's you have no idea, how great she could be, multiple costume changes, dozens of dancers, her concerts really were the country equivalent of Cher. Also, she embraces and supports all her fans.

R2: Point well taken, I'm sure! haha

She is the Southern Cher! All the gay Country boys loved her! She was everything! So over-the-top!

Definitely wasn’t Lorrie Morgan, per the recent thread.

Dolly and Reba both have 25 #1 songs on the country chart, so how on earth is Dolly considered not as big as Reba? And don’t forget that Reba herself said she wanted to be just like Dolly early in her career until she finally realized she could never be Dolly and needed to create her own image and sound.

To top it off, most of Dolly’s songs were written and produced solely by herself. I can only imagine how much she made from when Whitney covered “I Will Always Love You,” a song everyone around the world knows. How many Reba songs can the average person name?

I loved her in Annie Get Your Gun.

"Reba McEntire: Gay Icon"

For Log Cabin Bush supporters?

She's a country southern hick from Oklahoma so it's not surprising she likes conservative asshats but she's usually kept it to herself so i don't have any problem with her.

The first time I ever stepped foot in a gay bar an elder drag queen was performing "Fancy". It's seared into my mind and I love it. And "That's the Night That the Lights Went Out In Georgia"

R27 most people who haven’t been in a New England echo chamber know Fancy

Only at Datalounge.

Only at Datalounge.

No one knows who Reba is outside the us, so no she's not bigger than miss dolly.
