This is going to sound terrible, but I am not really a fan of the obvious flamboyant gay aspect of Hans. Not trying to offend anyone but to me that is not really appealing and it's just someone trying to use their sexual orientation to get votes. It's like if I wanted to go on and use my heterosexuality as a way to get votes. It would be annoying and it probably wouldn't go any further than the auditions but the tables get turned and he goes through because people want to be "progressive" and "open-minded". Put simply, it's not my cup of tea. I am not really into those kinds of acts. It's fine if you do but they just never appealed to me. Again I am trying to word this in a way that doesn't sound homophobic since I have been accused of that in the past and that is simply not true (I have said many times that Brian Justin Crum was the best singer of Season 11 and I even predicted him to win AGT at one point), it just rubs me the wrong way when I see an act like Hans get praise because it feels like they are praising him because he is gay and not really for anything else, which I have a problem with.
