Top 10 Gender Bending Performers

This post was written by Mel Clarke

For decades, pop musicians have been trying to push the boundaries. Not only in terms of music genres and their capabilities as performers, but also with their appearance and sexuality.
With a lot of pop and rock music, image is a great portion of their performance, as well as their marketing standpoint among the industry.
This list is dedicated to a handful of people that decided their sexuality was anyone’s guess, and how they blurred that tricky line between what’s female and male.

# 8. Bill Kaulitz
Early last year, the world started to hear rumblings of a band called Tokio Hotel. While their name lends no meaning to the fact they’re German, they took over the world with their different music, as well as different dress style. The lead singer, Bill Kaulitz, a sprite young 20 year old tends to bend his gender a little bit too much. With his amazingly feminine eyes, tendency to overuse the “guy-liner”, and a figure which any woman would kill for.

His ever changing hair style, and well executed makeup only plays into his feminine side, despite the fact he has one of the largest female fan populations in the world currently.
