Dave Moffatt
12:06 AM

Due to the lack of new quality programming these days, I find myself watching (or taping) Canadian Idol.

Somehow I need to get my reality show fix— that and the fact that Canadian Idol ads are plastered all over the TTC Subway System.

Who am I kidding, I must quit making excuses and admit that I still like watching Idol.

If you happen to be as a loser as I am, you might have noticed that Dave Moffatt made it into the Top 32 candidates.

Dave Moffatt— you might remember him as the little boy from the “hit” Canadian kid-boy-group sensation “The Moffatts.” He was definitely the cutest Moffatt (and no not that loser Clint) out of the four. Wow, it so weird to see him on the show. I have to admit that he’s not a bad pop singer— actually he’s pretty good. I caught him during his audition with a duo rendition of Shania Twain’s “From This Moment On” and it was impressed.

I guess singing tunes like “Girl of My Dreams” and “Miss You Like Crazy” really helped! Haha.

I was being an even bigger geek and checking out the unofficial Canadian Idol message boards. According to idolforums.com, Dave lives in Winnipeg, works at the Bay (in the fragrance department), and he is gay with a boyfriend. Of course, we never know how credible these sources are, but it’s an interesting read. However when asked (in his official Idol profile) which musical act would you most like to see in concert, he answered “Cher.”

This is when the famous “Kill Bill” siren would go off in my head. But this not any siren, it’s an internal gay alert system. Haha.

I think I’m an outgrown tween girl— checking out message boards where the predominate demographic are La-Senza-Girl-wearing tweens with awful grammar.

Anyways, I missed it this week’s Tuesday and Wednesday shows, so I’m here scrambling to find a torrent for it. I’m totally cheering him on in Round #2— let’s hope he makes Top 10. He’s not the best singer out of the bunch of other Idols, however, he’s got that pop spunk. C’mon, he’s a Moffat— it’s weird how it’s like we grew up together— almost like they were a part of you. Like how almost how I felt like I was friends with the cast of “Friends.”

Yeah, I’m fucked. I blame it on nostalgia. Yep, that’s it.

hehe nelly told me that he was in the competition and i was so surprised!!!

i still think the moffats are pretty cool...i remember high school him listening to 'girl of my dreams' on the radio while we were on the phone haha..it was his way of being sweet

that's why everytime someone mentions that song, i remember that moment lol

hahaha u're so funny with the whole radar thing

June 23, 2005 02:02 AM

its true he is gay. the reason why the moffatts broke up was because Dave came out to his manager dad and they didn't talk for a year..

so i'm not sure how credible my source is either...aha

June 23, 2005 09:03 AM

Hey guys,

I'm sad to report that Dave did not make it this round, but he'll be back for the Wildcard competition. Woo!

Tiff:
Really? Man, that's brutal.

June 23, 2005 10:24 PM

Finally saw the episode. I'm not surprised Dave didn't get voted in-- though it was a pretty bad show overall in terms of performances.

He better step up to the plate during wildcard-- if he even gets it.

June 24, 2005 01:58 PM

It's funny because the opening song of Kill Bill vol 1 is Bang Bang. While the song is covered by Nancy Sinatra, it was originally written by Sonny and performed by Cher.

Just a thought.

June 25, 2005 11:04 PM

dude, i used to STALK the moffatts back in my teenybopper days. i met them like 10012387263726 times cause i was like some crazy moffatt groupie... geebus. what time and money wasted :(

anyway the picture in the comments might amuse you:

^^ someone was leftover from an incomplete thought. not meaning i signed the comment as "someone"...btw.

June 27, 2005 11:26 AM

oh gawd.... he's in a CHIPPENDALE outfit!

oh my!!!!

thanks bev! now imagine him wearing that in the 'girl of my dreams' video lol. that would be funny.

bev
June 28, 2005 07:09 PM

mannn sorry to flood your comments!

but i came across this, even more amusing.

http://www.tabulas.com/~lainie/878028.html

can you say underwear stuffer?

June 29, 2005 10:03 AM

OH MY GOD.

He totally stuffed! C'mon, that's just disgustingly huge! o.O

... but then again, i'm not sure if I'm disgusted or disgustingly turned on.......... lol

June 30, 2005 11:15 AM

Hey, I got your link from SLC.com -- and I must say that I was surprised to see a post on Dave Moffatt on your blog. This makes my DAY! I used to run one of the biggest Moffatt fansite domains back in the day (it was 3 years old when I decided I've lost interest... or just don't have time due to school), and I've followed them after the break-up for years... all of the brother's projects and lives I'm kind of still in the know, so I can confirm those things about Dave.

Anyway, this makes me smile. Too bad we won't be seeing more of him, unless he gets in through the wildcard, who knows!

P.S. Yay Waterloo-ers!

July 5, 2005 03:43 PM

Ally:

YAY WATERLOO! We totally rock. Totally.

As for the my honey Dave, I don't think he stands any chance. :P

jamie
July 8, 2005 04:37 AM

he didnt make the wild card. in a thai report online, it read he was gonna follow Bob in thailand and try his luck. coz he was thinking that since they were famous in asia, he could work something out.

July 8, 2005 11:12 AM

Yeah, I heard he didn't make wildcard, not surprising though-- there were some really good hopefuls that didn't make it. But nevertheless, she's a star in my heart.

As for the Thailand thing, let's hope he does! Cuz Moffatts always prevail!

Hope Dave is reading this.

July 9, 2005 07:55 PM

lol I almost crapped my pants the other night when I saw him on Gay.com in the Victoria room chat. I can only hope he's coming back to visit family ;-)

Could be fake, but why? lol Such a twink too.

jamie
July 12, 2005 11:25 PM

mee
July 14, 2005 09:37 PM

he's out in the idol scene, too bad. i was actually planning to vote for him wishing he could be in the top 10, but he didn't (i just found out today)

maria
August 3, 2005 11:50 PM

i work with him.
and i love him.

August 4, 2005 12:02 AM

Maria:
So he *does* work at the Bay in fragrance?

Sweet. Tell him I said hi, and that I have the biggest crush on him!

jamie
August 17, 2005 02:49 AM

yeah maria, pls say hi for me too. and tell him to take good care of himself. i think he's a having a beer belly or something. lol. kidding aside, he shoudlnt feel crushed or anything sour like that. he is still lovely. im really happy for him that he likes what he sees in the mirror.

hey matt, how's it goin? i miss dave.

August 18, 2005 11:06 PM

We totally need to continue this Dave Moffatt going on. Let's keep this high on the google search, so that one day, Dave will message me.

Haha. A boy could dream.

Jamie
August 31, 2005 06:20 AM

hahah matthew lol

someone from canada told he saw dave in calgary this august. he was in a gay club called twisted elements.

jamie
August 31, 2005 06:28 AM

and you moffatt fans should check the 4 new songs of Jann arden. the other moff bros sang background vocals for her. i figured there might be clint, scott and bob moffatt fans lurking in here when the topic is all about dave. so yeah, go to jann's website

jamie
September 2, 2005 11:58 PM

hi matt!

check out starz2006.com dave will be participating the event later on. he's a judge or something like that.

September 13, 2005 11:39 AM

Man, you rock Jamie!

We should start being his groupies. :)

September 16, 2005 09:45 AM

woww
that's weird to remember little Dave singin' Miss U like Crazy, and now imagining him working in a Gay Club..

I was here in a big nostalgic thing, remembering the old days when Moffatts used to came to Portugal, and I tottally followed them everywhere,Concerts, Tv Shows, Hotel... and when i came to check for some news about them and read about Homo Dave i was tottaly not surprised, i guess my 'Gaydar' already worked back in those days :)

about the idol stuff, that i can really tell you.. I made it to the finals 2times here in Portugal, and it's all fake in that show, believe me!

Talking too much..yeahh I know :P

Take care ****

jamie
October 3, 2005 05:37 AM

jamie
November 15, 2005 07:07 PM

there was actually an interview where one of his brothers said sone canadian fans were holding pictures of dave playing barbie, like pleating their hair. i thought that was just a phase, you know. i guess my gaydar isnt really working well. i can be quite clueless at times.

maria
November 25, 2005 02:40 AM

he works with me at earls in calgary

November 26, 2005 04:05 AM

Maria, could you intrigue Central and Atlantic Canadians on what Earl's is? Fromt the website, it looks like some sort of restaurant. If Dave works there, we want to know :)

jamie
November 29, 2005 12:16 AM

hey maria and matt!

jamie
November 29, 2005 12:23 AM

and i miss dave.

December 1, 2005 09:13 AM

Hey jaime! Thanks for the nice pic of Dave. It's been a while since i was at the boards and decided to google about Clint and Bob and bumped into this site.

Anyway, cool site Matt! =)

jamie
December 1, 2005 08:48 PM

julee, are you from the forum??

matt have you seen the picture???

dave is studying. that's all i know right now..

December 1, 2005 10:58 PM

Hey Jamie!

Yes, thanks for the link! He's definitely looking fine and sexy. mmmmm.

Wow, dave is studying, working at a bar, working at the bay, working at that restaurant that maria is talking about. wow, that's just amazing.

Yes, I'm thinking I should start a Dave shrine. We could keep a tracker on him to see where he is, and how he's doing.

jamie
December 3, 2005 11:08 PM

hey matt!
all the dave moffatt sites ive been to have no updates about him. there should be a tracker! there has to be! i really miss seeing him in action. coz his others brothers are getting all the exposure, especially the twins since they are making a career in thailand. oh bummer.
we will always love you dave.

steve
December 4, 2005 05:34 PM

hey this is really funny that you guys are so ubssesed with him umm well im his new roomate he now lives in calgary working at earls and a bar but i think that he does need a little more publisity cus he is a really awsome person so nice beautiful sole

December 4, 2005 06:25 PM

Steve:

Tell him I love him, and that he should email me at matthew.lee  (AT)  rogers.com.

Tell us about how it is to live with him! Tell him to check out my webpage, and how we've pretty much started a shrine about him! We totally need to start a tracker! "Where is Dave Moffatt?" Haha.

jamie
December 4, 2005 09:57 PM

hi steve! i heard dave snores. *chuckles*
please tell him to go here. hehe this is the unofficial dave shrine, unless he makes it official. LOL
we do miss him.

jamie
December 4, 2005 10:00 PM

That would be hot.

Now I sound like Paris Hilton.

i talked to dave tonight, i'm writing an article about Idol for the Sheridan College paper and made him do an interview lol...I can post the link here if you'd like, it won't be up until next week though...

January 22, 2006 11:23 AM

Sarah:

Yes yes yes! I want to read it!
How did you manage to contact him?

jamie
January 23, 2006 09:29 PM

hi matt! i have a copy of it in avi file. but it's at home so i cant upload it. i can only give you a vidilife link now. http://www.vidilife.com/index.cfm?f=media.play&vchrMediaProgramIDCryp=4C12127B-C7C3-4A09-A9B5-A
i chat in a forum called in my dreams. i mentioned it previously because there is a forum member there by the name of julee. it's fun. if you're interested i can give you the url. there's even a dave picture thread. yum. lol
and sarah, im so happy you got an interview with dave. finally someone from the media is paying attention to him again. id really like to read your article.

sarah
January 25, 2006 02:45 PM

hey..
i used to be a huge fan, then when they broke up and didnt have many fans, i became a friend, lol..i toured with scott's band the Boston Post selling merch and started talking to Dave again a few years ago, we worked together to sell some live recordings of his new songs and autographed copies of his modelling photos and stuf...umm, i went to see him when he was in the top 32, and im pretty sure you see my sister and i cheering like idiots, lol..i'm a journalism student at Sheridan and they wanted a story on Idol, so i harrassed him, lol...it's not very complimentary about the show though, lol...it'll be put out tomorrow and it should be online tomorrow as well so I'll post the link then..

jamie
January 25, 2006 09:39 PM

sarah, thank you for sharing that. yeah i heard about that, dave selling stuff like modelling photos before. im happy you went to his CI top32 performance and were there to cheer for him. how i wish i was there too. i would have screamed the loudest. lol thanks again! hope you get more cool assignments. ;)

Marie-cha
January 31, 2006 06:41 PM

There is no way Clint Moffatt wrote that. I know they were homeschooled, but how could a vetran celebrity mistake "you" for "your"? But then again, Dave did wear that jacket on Canadian Idol....
Poohey! I don't even want to pass judgement, critizie Dave's sexual orientation, his fashion style, or his "brother's" grammar style. As some of you mentioned, the Moffatts own a sad little piece of our hearts. Childhood Idols....
I loved Bobby Moffatt since age 11, and wanted to have his children before I was physically able to (lol...j/k) That's why I'm here when I should be studying for my Economics exam.
Guys, shouldn't we give up? I'm afraid looking for a defunct band is pathetic. But here I am, and here we are....

Marie.

jamie
February 1, 2006 04:34 AM

lol yeah i cracked up by that clint moffatt comment. marie, right now clint and bob have regrouped and will be coming out with music under sony BMG. so yeah, im still not giving up since there is a chance for dave to come to thailand and join his brothers. coz sony bmg is thinking of signing him too but he'll sing a different kind of music. plus scott is going solo, he's recording his album now. so yeah we can kinda say they're back in business.
sarah where are you??? is your article up now??? im sooo excited about it.
matt how are you? i miss dave. i have this strange pic of dave. you wanna see it? it's soooo... well you be the judge. lol

pinay
February 11, 2006 10:59 AM

i just miss them alot...Dave is my biggest crush, as in my whole life..i have a keychain with dave's handsome face in it, my room filled with their posters, albums including those of their earlier years (singing some songs of the beatles!).i was really shocked when my classmate told me the news that he's "gay"... hope they'll visit manila again..filipinas' are the coolest and wildest fan of moffatts...i was really sudden to know that "the moffatts" broke up...oh dave, it's too early to leave the lime light...=(

jamie
February 12, 2006 07:25 PM

dave went to thailand, matt! he may be back in business again! woot woot *does a jig*

February 24, 2006 02:01 AM

hey guys..haha i wouldnt be surprised if it was clint, that whole family struggles, lol...my favourite is that they all spell ontario onterio, lol...anyway so the issue with the article the links arent working on the site so i scanned the actual paper and put it up here..
http://users.hanson.net/rapunzel/idol.jpg

when they fix it the actual link for the article will be this
http://www-acad.sheridanc.on.ca/sun/sun/2006_jan_26/page10january26.pdf

i had to edit some of his quotes to remove things like.."omg, like the guys in my group were retarded, no like i think they were ACTUALLY retarded, they were fucking horrible.." hehe..anyway enjoy..its nothing too exciting...

jamie
February 27, 2006 05:06 AM

lol dave is too frank. hehe thanks sarah. i was like, "omg did sarah entirely forget this page?? this is devastating" LOL thanks again!!

i heard dave didnt push through to thailand (which is ayt). he's back home working in calgary.

March 2, 2006 07:51 AM

Dave's gay?


Yesss!


hehehhehe

helena
March 9, 2006 09:30 PM

did that guy just say he's clint moffatt?

jamie
March 10, 2006 04:19 AM

haha yeah. no way to confirm it unless matt sees the email of the one who left the comment and checks for himself. :)

March 15, 2006 12:42 AM

Hey guys,

Sorry about my delayed reply, I've been swamped lately. I'm not entirely sure if it was really Clint , but I wouldn't not risk losing the chance to talk to a Moffatt.

Clint supplied me his email (not available in the public domain, as with all emails on this website), and I wrote back with this response:

Hey Clint,

Though I'm not sure if you're really the real Clint Moffatt, but nevertheless, I'd to still give you a reply.

As for your inquiry, I have to apologize as I did not mean to offend. Throughout the times when the Moffatts were out-and-about, generally girls focused attention on you compared to the others. I on the otherhand, had a specific interest in Dave-- but nevertheless, I did enjoy the group as a whole.

As a matter of fact, my recent entry "Do the Macarena" (URL:
http://mattism.hyperdot.net/archives/05-10-do-the-macarena.php) spoke about the band and how it brought back so much nostalgia. I do enjoy the work that you had near the end of our career, and I look forward to hearing more in the future.

I'd like to again apologize if I have offended, and the basis for calling you a "loser" is unjustified.

If it is convenient, I'd love to know how things are going on your end, and particularly your music endeavors.

Take Care,
Matt

- - -

Here's his reply:

matt,

i'm actually not that upset. i just happened to come across your article and thought it was quite funny, so i thought i'd write something. thanks for the reply and apology.

cheers
clint

What do you guys think?

March 15, 2006 12:45 AM

Sarah:

Thanks for sharing the article. It was great.

So dreamy. [Ooogley-eyed]

March 19, 2006 05:56 PM

Ha I knew Dave was gay the first time I met the guy lol.

But one thing gets me...why in the blue hell is he working at the bay?. Seems alittle off for a world famous dude to work in such a public place. Poor guy must get bombarded everyday with screaming fans in his face o.O. He don't need that.

jamie
April 16, 2006 07:52 AM

hmmmmmm matt i dunno....... there are posers out there ya know.. but im not too eager to find out if it's him.. he and his twin are coming here in my place soon anyway.

i miss dave, as always.

We talked while dancing. Just like, "so what do you do?" type of thing. Oh man. this is so cool. I just got home and i need to sleep but I just had to say that.

http://nubird.livejournal.com/29409.html
last night i met dave moffatt at twisted element. he used to work for kim a couple years ago at le chateu. kim informed us that he was the worst employee he's ever had... considering he showed up an hour for work claiming he slept in. oh... and kim? gave him the nickname 'booboo'. after dave left, he told us: 'sooo that was my booboo, little dave moffatt. if he wasn't such a sweetie and so damn cute i'd have fired his ass so many times!'
i can now die happy, because i've met a celebrity. best part? he's GAY. hah!

jamie
April 16, 2006 07:59 AM

matt have ya been to myspace.com? clint is there, and so are his brothers. maybe you can try out the email address you got here on the myspace search engine. if the profile that pops out is clint's profile with the scarlet johansen wallpaper on, that's him alright.

sorry for flooding this blog btw. hehe

jamie
April 24, 2006 07:21 AM

hey matt, bob said dave is going to a university.

April 25, 2006 07:52 PM

Hey hey Jamie!

I'm currently in Oxford, and I haven't been keeping up with the Dave thing! Thanks for the update! I need to see him on myspace!

Jamie
April 29, 2006 08:54 AM

well matt you might be disappointed if you try to contact him in myspace because he only talks to people he's close to.. he'll just say he's a busy person. :( i miss him tho. clint said in an interview that they keep in touch once in a while, like dave would sent them emails sometimes.

Jamie
May 14, 2006 09:01 AM

wow spammers.. i got almost the same messages on my tagboard too.

anyhoo.... matt!!! dave got a piercing again!!! you know that part under the lower lip??? that's where he got his piercing on. oucchhhh i saw his latest pic... oucchhhh but he looks happy..

April 21, 2007 01:10 AM

My friend tells me that he sees Dave on the King streetcar every morining looking like he's on crack. These are the direct words from my friend.

Maybe he's not on crack, maybe he's just not a morning person :)

April 24, 2007 09:54 AM

YAY!!! the comment section is open!!!!
