1. Nothing Can Divide Us - Jason Donovan
Pure crud. His voice sounds like a cow in its dying throes. The 'lyrics' are stomach-churningly bad. The most rotten in a batch of bad Stock Aitken and Waterman eggs.
2. Especially For You - Kylie and Jason
Read above. I made the mistake of watching the filmclip for a laugh after eating my dinner. Bad mistake. No wonder JD turned to the snort in the '90s.
3. Angels Brought Me Here - Guy Sebastion
Number one with an Idol-driven bullet. Ah, the power of TV. What a nation of morons we are - how can any sane-thinking person think this is anything but diabolical?
4. Boys Will Be Boys - Choir Boys
Bogan central. Wash down your meat meal with a dozen VBs, wipe your mouth with your truckie singlet, high five and bang heads with the empty-headed mate nearest you.
5. Don't It make You Feel Good - Stefan Dennis
Should be number one but for a hot field, and because the 'emotive' filmclip is good for a laugh. Australian music really was at its nadir in the late 80s.

What about 'My Hump', Black Eye Peas? Ben
ReplyDeleteThink you're being a bit harsh on Jason Donovan. Craig McLachlan was far worse in song and person.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about Mark Jackson and Warwick Capper's deplorable attempts at chart music.
Sheez, I forgot about My Humps... but it's an Aussie list. I did think about Jacko and the Whiz but they hardly qualify as artists. And deep down surely they were taking the piss...
ReplyDeleteCraig Mc's Mona gets an honourable mention.
