REACTIONS TO ME SINGING "LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS" FROM THE MOVIE FOOTLOOSE AT A FAMILY KARAOKE PARTY

BROTHER: "That's the gayest thing I've ever seen."

SISTER: "Why would you even pick that song?"

MOTHER: [Crying]

FATHER: "You see what you have done to your mother with your feminine singing?"

GAY COUSIN: "I'm not that gay. Am I?" [Continues eating his banana.]

SISTER: "Seriously Jaime, why that song? I just....I just don't understand."

GIRLFRIEND: "I'm the opposite of attracted to you right now."

MOTHER: [Still crying]

FATHER: "I don't have a son any more." [Dramatically walks out of the room]

BROTHER: "Did you ever watch me when I was in the shower?"

GRANDMOTHER [Walking into the room from the kitchen.] "Whose petite sounding woman's voice did I just hear singing?"

MOTHER: [Crying and dry heaving]

SISTER: [Looking through karaoke CD's] "I mean, there were so many other songs you could have chosen."

FAMILY DOG: [Barking angrily]

AUNT: "I don't know which part was worse. The singing or the dancing."

UNCLE: "It definitely was the part when he sang the line, "Let's hear it for my man." It's like...it's like he really believed it."

DENISE WILLIAMS [The original singer of "Let's Hear It For the Boys" and family friend.]: "That was never meant for a gay man to sing."
