He does look good!!! Good for him. Major talent

Boy, is that touched up.

The story of Motown...ZZZZzzzz...is there anything more to say?

I love "Second That Emotion." I wish I'd lived through the Motown era, instead of having to discover it decades later.

He doesn’t really look like that. He’s at Kenny Rogers-level disfigured.

But he looks great on that cover.

Smokeying!

Looks the same to me.

R6, here he is in 2018. He doesn't look disfigured. He looks good for 78 years old.

I don’t even think he’s had any plastic surgery.

He’s always been handsome.

Gay?

R12 what’s the point of this?

R12 just wanted to shed some light on the fact that this man was a machine.

Hmmm r14, could I be suggesting he was a great songwriter, perhaps?

R10, get your prescription checked. He's clearly had a lot of work done. The best way to tell -- with anyone age sixty or older -- is if their upper lids showed about 20-30 years earlier. His didn't. And now you can see them from space.

More importantly, he still sounds great.

I think he's had his eyes lifted. Men always look more feminine with that constant "surprised" look on their face.

Here come the DL Smokey Robinson haters starting with R17.

I happen to love Smokey Robinson. Just pointing out the obvious R20/Snowflake.

I’ve got your Snowflake right here, bitch.

Yeah, that's a lot of Photoshop and makeup.

But Smokey did a lot of amazing work, hats off to him for his accomplishments. It ain't his fault that his face is melting off in real life.

"I’ve got your Snowflake right here, bitch."

Things are gonna get all Smokey in here from all the grease fires.

He was always my least favorite Motown singer. I hate his high voice.

If not a performer, Smokey can still be appreciated as a great songwriter. I love his voice, personally.

Lots of plastic surgery and some skin bleaching.

I don’t see skin bleaching. I’m sick of people using that for every black person that isn’t dark skinned.

When did his eyes turn blue?

Smokey always had light eyes....

About 10 years ago he looked like shit because of bad plastic surgery.

It's either settled, or he had it redone because he looks better now than previously.

Love him and love his music.

Smokey Robinson hates the LGBT community.

He went on all of the religious right shows from the early 90's to the 2000's.

Most if not all TBN shows as well as The 700 Club with Pat Robertson.

Many of the programs had speakers going all anti-gay & he would come on & sit down next to the anti-gay guest & SAY NOTHING! Just shake everyone's hands & smile like the rhetoric was nothing. Can you imagine a LGBT doing this when an anti black speaker had just spoken?

He also did The 700 Club when there was anti-gay news segments on the program as well. He never distanced himself from the right wing hate that they spewed.

This is just another glowing DL thread here on anti-gay right wing celebs like R. Welch, K. Fields, C. Khan, R. Fleming, D. Douglas, J. Schneider & Vanity.

Just unbelievable. Support your community over the bigotry. It's how we all make better places in this world.

.

R32 he sounds like the majority of human men.

Where is your outrage for Chris Pratt???

R33 Thanks for reminding of Chris Pratt. I forgot to add him to my list.

[QUOTE]About 10 years ago he looked like shit because of bad plastic surgery.

Pictures of this?

[quote] Just unbelievable.

Really, everyone's supposed to have a thorough anti-gay celeb list to refer to at all times? Yes Robinson became a born again to help him quit cocaine and then supported the 700 Club afterwards. I just like his music and I don't remember there ever being a Smokey Robinson thread before where this was discussed, sorry.

Saw him at the bowl a few year ago. Great voice still, gives a hell of a show and “Tracks of my Tears” is one of the best songs ever. Always thought he was handsome in his youth with those green eyes.

Funny - I was the one who said I didn't like his high voice and I just turned on the TV and there was some prog. about soul music on and he sang "Tears Of A Clown" and "Going To A Go-Go" and "Shop Around" - and I LOVE them. So I sort of take it back.

I hate Tracks Of My Tears though.

He never really cut it as an LP/album guy though, did he? Didn't move well into the 70s, unlike Marvin & Stevie.

He looks like a senior citizen with blindingly white veneers who has had significant plastic surgery done. All magazine covers are heavily Photoshopped, so it's hard for a celebrity to not "look great" in a photoshoot meant for a magazine cover.

R39 = jealous

Why would Smokey get Jennifer Lopez to perform a Motown tribute?

Great singer. Def plastic surgery but who cares.

I can’t believe they had that basic JLo doing a Motown medley, she’s barely passable as a vocalist in the studio.

His eyes look like Kenny Johnson’s from SONS OF ANARCHY AND THE SHIELD. He’s got bad plastic surgery too. His eyes have that pulled artificial look like Smokey’s.

He’s always had eyes like that.

A great song, and Richard Gere at his peak...

A favorite of mine. Speak not of Tennille

No way he didn't always look like that- his eyes look so feminine now as another poster pointed out. Waaaaaay to much plastic surgery- doesn't look normal at all to me. Mary!!

I've know several people who had to have their eyelids done because they were sagging so much, it affected their vision. And because it's a health issue, insurance will pay for it. He might be one of those.

Yeah my friends dad had eyelid surgery cause he couldn’t see. It’s a health issue

R48, my late MIL had that done. It was a very subtle cosmetic difference, and helped her vision.

Yeah he did it because it's a health issue... LOL my sides!!!! MARY!

Some of you are so pathetic and low. It’s sad to see men of your age behaving so poorly.

Oh go to bed Mary (I mean R52).
