OK, that sounded weirder than it needed to, so I should clarify that
He spoke French because one of the choirs was francophone and part of the theme of the concert was anglo-franco friendship. He was being inclusive. Just... badly ;)
One of the choirs was a choir begun by the LGBT community, so he made a bunch of jokes that were also inclusive. Incidentally, the guy is very stereotypically gay-acting, but has been married three times, so maybe he's the reason gaydar isn't 100% accurate. Or maybe he's been married three times because he hadn't realized he needs to marry a guy. In either case, he was very gay-positive. Including the jokes, the only one of which I can remember being, "What kind of nails are used in a lesbian's bed?" "None, it's all tongue-in-groove."

Also, we were rehearsing in a chapel at the time.
There's a culture in Central America that regularly tells jokes in church, because they figure God probably has a pretty good sense of humour. Maybe Hatfield comes from that culture :D :D :D
The line was the last line in a song, the sopranos were messing it up, and he had tried everything else to get us to do it right. And he was semi-joking. Some of them still got huffy about it afterwards. Suck it up, I wanted to say to them.
The tattoo was a large pair of wings. He got it done after finishing this one song that meant a great deal to him, and took a lot out of him, which contained the lines, "Love you are so many things/A serpent's tongue, and an angel's wing."
It was lovely. Just, you know, it's a little startling, when a stranger all of a sudden flips his t-shirt up over his head and shows you his naked back. I also did not really need to know that Stephen Hatfield had nipple rings. Ulp.
The prancing was something else. He's very flamboyant. At the end, during the applause, at one point he leaped - and, um, crashed into a small child. Oops.
Here's the song with the angel's wing bit, and the first sopranos last line (which we didn't mess up!), and him... um, being flamboyant. No leaping,though.
Also, please excuse our men. They are few, and mostly elderly. They do their best.
