[edit] Gay musician?

He's never explicitly said that he was homosexual, although he is popularly purported to be so. --Victor 03:32, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh he is gay, darling...when he was asked about it in an interview..he said "Lo que se ve, no se pregunta"..[[[User:Raniya|Raniya]] 00:44, 26 March 2006 (UTC)]

[edit] Telenovelas

Some of the song titles I saw in the article were also the names of telenovelas. I'm guessing he also wrote novela theme songs?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.245.245.239 (talk • contribs)

[edit] The most succesful and commercial singer-songwriter

I think it´s clear he´s the most succesful commercial musician in Mexican music history. Even Pedro Infante, Luis Miguel and other idols don´t have the "cross over" popularity of Juan Gabriel.

He´s a commercial singer-songwriter because there are "art" singer-songwriters as Fernando Delgadillo, David Haro, Lila Downs and others.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Juangabrielreceivingaward.jpg

Image:Juangabrielreceivingaward.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
