Does anyone else find it kind of annoying when musicians change the gender of the people in the songs they're singing? I get that they might want to 'fit' it more to themselves but I don't see the point?

This annoys me too! Like why is is so difficult to sing about the same gender? Do they feel like it won't have the same emotional impact...?

I know, and I feel it's kind of insulting to original intention of the song, also it can make it sound off you know? I mean, I'm gay but I sing songs about guys all the time lol
I wont bother traumatising everyone with Madonnas cover of American Pie.
