Teenage pop star crushes…( a very shallow thread…)

Was never into music that much, but loved the silver screen
James Dean (was 14 when he died), broken hearted, I could quote every single line in Rebel without a cause'.
Also loved Richard Todd, Brando (of course)
Many years later, my teenage daughters introduced me to Queen

Not a pop star but I remember having a crush on Tommy Kirk who starred in several Walt Disney films. I think I was too young to recognise it as having a crush, I just know I loved watching him.

My mum took me to see Tommy the Toreador at the cinema when I was little.

Tommy Steele when I was 5or 6!😂 Then when I was 11or 12 Cliff Richard. Carried on through teen years,then lost interest when I met DH! Oh yes those were the days!! 😍

I liked Marc Bolan and David Essex but my heart belonged to Davy Jones. In fact a little bit of it still does ❤️

Alan Price from the band The Alan Price Set. I was very weird because none of my friends fancied him. I am going to Google him now to see how he turned out.

I was never that interested in pop stars as a teenager, just their music. I was more interested in film stars - Sean Connery (the one and only).
Having said that, Kris Kristofferson is also a musician and is still wearing well.
In the 80s/90s it had to be JonBon. 😎

Guess it had to be Marc Bolan at-the top, some of the others from the same era were quite pretty but….David Cassidy just seemed too clean living. David Essex a little too old ( at the time). They were up there though.

David Cassidy and Davy Jones.

When I got older, my crush was Michael Hutchence.
He was real rock star material.

Desdemona

John Taylor from Duran Duran.

Oh yes please

I had a massive crush on Marc Bolan who is sadly no longer with us. I remember many of my friend swooned over David Essex who was never my type then (even when I saw him in the musical ‘Godspell’ in the West End). Now though, I think he is very handsome, he has aged so well. Funny how some people (usually men, unfortunately!) get better looking with age, isn’t it!

David Essex and Bowie definitely grew more fanciable in older age. One of my main crushes was James Taylor and he did the opposite!

David cassidy
Saw him at White City Stadium in 1974,sadly a teenage fan got crushed against the fenceing in front of stage.
Affected David .
Saw him again in 2008 (i think) on stage at Wembley ,also performing were David Essex and the Osmonds.
Still play my vinyl david cassidy albums.

I was there too! Snuck out with my friend to see David Cassidy at White City Stadium. Couldn't hear a thing with the screaming . I was in a lot of trouble for this.

Saw him again when he was older in Bournemouth and it was lovely to reminisce and be surrounded by other DC fans. No screaming this time. He was my absolute crush, but I also had a crush on Neil Diamond and still do really.

Paul Jones
Andy Fairweatherlow

All that clean living has served him well.
He looks great, still.

I loved Donny Osmond, remember seeing him on tv when I was about 9 and crying but not understanding why I was crying🙈
Still secretly like him now!

David Cassidy (so pretty), Marc Bolan and David Essex (gorgeous eyes).

I think almost everyone agrees that David Essex is and certainly was, a really handsome man.

There's an ad on lately with "hold me close" playing, and the minute I hear it, I see David's handsome face.

Called my eldest son David 😊

I went out with a bloke that looked like the boys from 'Bros'.
One night he was chased by some teen girls all screaming.

Paul McCartney, actually went out with someone who looked like him! Roger Taylor from Queen, my fave group still but with Freddie...😁and David Essex

And ooh, Marc Bolan in his white (silky) trouser suit, singing "Hot Love".
A sight for sore eyes!
