I haven't seen many videos of Troye but from what I have seen he acts in an effete/feminine manner. I think that's the reason why he's not liked by the GP as much as Sam is. Sam predominantly sings about love and break-up songs and even straight people can relate to his visuals and music whereas Troye has this really feminine vibe around him that the GP may not like that much. It's just like how gay people prefer to have masculine partners instead of feminine ones. I wouldn't call it homophobia, it's just a preference.

filsns 158 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Erm, I don't think he's underrated, Sam Smith is just way more talented and has a better voice and better songs. I do agree Troye is less relatable to GP, but they are just not on the same level musically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo 23 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 16 hours ago, Adakam said: His music and his project in general are amazing, but we still live in a world where an artist who bases most of his life and image around being gay, wont get too far. We need people like him for the community, but its a huge barrier for his career I doubt he'll ever get over. I think he's not promoted as much in the USA as in other countries I'm A Mess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
