Let's work together to keep that yard ape Obama, and that communist clut HRC away from the White House.

Also, let's pray Perez's full blown AIDS takes his life soon so he can't pass that disease to anyone else.

Perez, don't knock his hair just because yours looks like ass.

Dang! He's still alive??? I saw him in concert about 3 years ago and since then I havent heard about him. I heard he's pretty much a jerk to people though….

He's not going bald. Even if he were, he's still talented and cute. He is the best!! Especially live. Check him out!
pooltop says – reply to this

29

OH SNAP! I didn't even know who this guy was but I googled photos and he's always wearing a hat. On one photo, I saw him hatless and it looked like a sparse bush. That's gotta suck. The kiss of death to a pop singer! He's going to have to start playing easy listening. Just shave your head dude! If you own it, you may look strange but at least you won't get called out for running for cover.

36

First of all, NOT A ONE HIT WONDER BY ANY MEANS!! Secondly, not going bald. Lastly, fuck off if you think you EVER say anything delicately. It's just a hat, move on with your day and cover that pink mess up with a "HAT!"
dlfiejnd says – reply to this

37

NO! He NEEDS that hat! I saw him without it a few months ago and it was TERRIBLE!!! He looked like Beetlejuice! I promise, he's much hotter with the hat on!

I miss Britney, what is she doing today ? All the other news is boring. Can't stand Lindsay Lohan (yawn!), at least we got to see Kevin (HOT !!!) but that's the closest you came to mentioning Britney. Bring her back. If nothing is going on, invent something, anything to entertain us. I really really miss her.
ChingaLinga says – reply to this

41

Perez you are not far behind, remember the more you dye your hair the faster you loose it. I am sure you'll be using hat in the very near future.
rachel says – reply to this

42

First off, hes a freind of mine and hes not bald. Second, he is the prob the most talented human alive. Third-he just wants to make inspiring music and will scour that he is even on this site. Please post his new single instead of making lies, thats what we all want to hear

Anything for attention - this guy is such a fucking lush and fuck-up in general, I find it particularly amusing he is appearing at a music cares event.
lj says – reply to this

Yes, He's been wearing a hat since he started on the music scene. I was a fan in the beginning, he was suppose to be the next Alicia Keys according to Clive Davis. So much for that. I was disappointed in his album. Now he has a new single which I haven't heard yet. It looks so obvious that he's bald. Just be real.

I love Gavin and he's a great guy and musician…but he really is going bald.

***********************
I heard he was "in the closet" gay. If so, I want a piece of that! Too bad there's no hair to grab on to while i'm giving it to him from behind.
boo-hoo…..i'll pass.

smartass says – reply to this

57

Who cares what he looks like? Have you heard this guy sing or seen him in concert? He's amazing. Do yourself a favor. Go to Youtube and do a search for Gavin DeGraw stripped or live. Go to the wayback music archives and download his cover of "Let's Get It On" or listen to any of his live gigs archived there. In an industry full of overrated, whiny Justin Timberlakes or pro tooled idiots like Paris Hilton, this guy is the real deal with loads of talent to spare.
hotred says – reply to this

58

saw him with a room of 50 it was one of the best live shows i've ever seen. it was shortly before he signed his deal. i've seen him without his cap. at the time he wasn't bald, but who knows. i always felt like clive d. had a thing for him, but dunno if it was consummated. i think he's totally gay.

Perezz-I love your blog, I adore you….and I adore Gavin…he may be going bald but his hats are his trademark…they make him look sincere haha if you were gonna write about Gavin, you should have said, he's talented-balding-but extremely talented….but I still love you P-Natsy.

I've known Gavin for a long time. A) he's an asshole B) I'm so glad somebody FINALLY said that. His 'combforward' look is so f-ing lame!

Daniella says – reply to this

Gavin is one of the most down to earth "celebrities" I have ever met. I have been following him for about 6 years. When he was playing dinky little shows, and when when he played a bigger venue he stayed behind to sign EVERY SINGLE AUTOGRAPH, has never rejected a picture. He is the biggest sweetheart ever. He's certainly not going bald either, he has a big mop of hair. Ha ha…Also, he's extremely talented, Perez should be showcasing his new single instead of saying something negative. Christ! Now Gavin's brother Joey on the other hand….big skeezeball.

Gavin's a FUCKING LOSER for trying to act all "cool" by hiding his BALDING hair. lol It's like how that FATASS Kevin James (TKOQ) wears a baseball hat……. and (((backwards))). Oh, like THAT will throw us all off. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
J.R. Lee says – reply to this

75

haha, that was funny…and true. His band sucks. the chariot are some stupid talentless band ripping off the dillinger escape plan in the name of jesus.

the bassist in his band looks even weirder haha. his bassist likes to dress up like someone who walked out of the 1880's (i kid you not).

I went to one of their shows (back in may 2007) just to see the opening band called THE HUMAN ABSTRACT! now that is a killer band.

Voracious says – reply to this

81

His hat is his trademark, much like your homeless look, Perez. He sounds awesome live. Can't wait for his new album!
smartass says – reply to this

82

Chariot is not the name of his band. He's billed as Gavin DeGraw & band. Chariot is the name of his debut album.

Gavin's got a huge curly mop of hair underneath that hat. Check out the pics of him hatless in Rolling Stone. I wished he'd stop wearing them because he's developing hat hair.

He's an amazing singer though. He's is hands down the best live performer.

I used to think he was talented, and then he opened his mouth. He's such an asshole and it makes him so unlikeable.

+=+=+=+=+=+=
HAS BEEN (or never really was). wow… the years have not been kind to him. He looks…40!!! yuck.
His new song blows…HARD. Too bad he's a drunken sellout.
SOME ADVICE FOR GAVIN: keep yer dick in your pants & away from 16 year old girls, quit being a monumental asshole, keep the whiskey outta yer mouth for 10 minutes & last but not least…..renew yer hairclub for men membership. tsk, tsk.
and to JESS #80: How the hell would you know if he was good in the sack, honey? Gavin is a RECEIVER. And the mouth of the girl (or guy in some cases, perhaps) is the ONLY body part ever involved. psshhhh. WHORE.

Anna says – reply to this

89

Has been? He's had three hits on his 1st album and his unreleased single "We Belong Togther" was #1 on itunes for a week or two awhile back. Guy's also got a new album coming out. The tour dates he has recently scheduled sold out within hours. His concerts pretty much always sell out.

You sound bitter. Did he screw your girlfriend or did you blow him expecting more? Ha! He's an artist that tours a lot. Random hook-ups are the norm.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Nooooooooooo! That's your "trademark" when you start losing your hair (adult male pattern baldness) at the start of your adulthood and you MASK it right from the start by being a typical DICKHEAD wearing a hat. He should just shave it bald so we can all end this (((farce))). It's pathetic. My brother started losing his hair when he turned 18. What a dickhead this guy is for trying to hide it. He just makes his sad ass even (((more))) noticeable. hahahahaha

94

I think it's funny that people are commenting that he's a jerk, when most of you have probably never met him. Yes, he does drink…like many people do. But when it comes down to it, he's a genuine nice guy who sometimes has a bit too much to drink. He's down to earth and although he has thin hair there's no reason for people to be challenging his character.

Why are the people on this site so angry all the time? Go see a therapist, it may help you to view the world in a better light.

Re: poor you – #89
Re: Anna – #90

I don't enjoy crab, therefore I have no desire for Gavin. And personally, I feel as if he looks like he's got down's syndrome
(!!!!!NotThatThere'sAnythingWrongWithThat!!!!!!!)
And ya know what….you stupid cunts should KNOW what kind of fucking asshole he is! And if not..educate yourselves. He's a fucking womanizing, drunk, hairless dildo. Seriously!

Re: Dan – Sorry to break this to you Dan, no matter how much you bitch and cry and act scared and threatened by change, it wont stop the future from coming and change from happening. So, just take your hatefull sothern ass back to texas or some shit.

PS: if you hate Perez then why do you visit this site and make him so much money? if you think about it your a Perez sponser!…. just think about and maybe never come back to the site that'd be cool

Gavin is a sweetheart…an extrememly talented and generous musician. A voice that melts your heart (watch Stripped on YouTube and he'll win you over). Yes, he is balding, but he's actually pretty hot in person. The hat thing is his trademark so let him be. Love you Gavin.
Sarah says – reply to this

98

amost forgot to leave a comment about Gavin. I've met him in hollywood one night and he was reeeeeally nice. Leave him alone perez! I personally dont know if he is or isnt going bald but think about this perez… one day you will too… not going to be that funny then huh?
Anna says – reply to this

AW VL's angry. He must be a dude who either got turned down or his woman cheated on him with Gavie. So freakin' bitter. It's hilarious. Got news for you, I'm not interested in fucking him, it's his voice I'm interested in. Such an angry, presumptuous, little dickhead. You are amusing though.

Actually I just saw him 3 days ago, he didn't have a hat on, is hot and is an awesome and extremely talented guy. Thanks though.
