[kj] OT: worst lyrics awards

[Brendan]

Idol is like a (bad) male madonna. I always thought those two would be
perfect for each other. To me he was a cynical, corporate, conglomeration
of plagarised traits, the Lydon sneer, Village People gay biker gloves,
and the rest of his outfit looked like he'd taken a wrong turn and got
trapped in Adam Ant's dressing room.

I thought he was more believable when he did stuff like Eyes Without A
Face, straight eighties pop with a standard vanilla guitar solo...at least
it was more believable.
