Legendary legend Amanda Lepore has an absolutely brilliant new music video – a cover of David Bowie’s anthemic “Jean Genie” – directed by Marco Ovando and starring Amanda (of course), cutie Cory Alexander, It-Boy Kyle Farmery, and Gianna Love. It was filmed outside the iconic Stonewall Inn, and was and released yesterday on January 8th – to commemorate David’s 72nd birthday, as well as to honor the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and celebration of World Pride.
From the album LEPORE., Amanda Lepore’s cover of David Bowie’s “The Jean Genie”, recorded shortly after David’s passing, as Amanda wanted to pay tribute to her “eternal love”. One of Amanda’s life-long idols, who she says was “a big inspiration with his music and style”, Amanda laments “I think David’s style was very influential, and he was one of the first to bring that androgynous look to the mainstream, which is really big now”.
