What the heck have I gotten myself in for here? For the love of Pete you guys weren't kidding about the pain and angst. I think Lexie and Razzy should watch their backs!

I suppose the only conciliation for me is that I don't recognize a lot of names.

I agree...

The
Patsy v Aretha
Massive Attack v U2
Genesis v Snow Patrol
Sheryl Crow v Sarah MacLachlan

matches all had me going 'noooooooooooo' when the girls drew them out.
Much to their amusement

Also... some big match ups I thought would cause consternation were

Van Morrison v Queen (but you yanks have this creepy liking for Queen us Brits don't fully understand even though they are British. We like 'em sure... but not on the scale you folks do obviously)

Styx v Bruce Springsteen I felt would cause angst too. Both are massively more popular in the US than UK... but Styx are hardly heard of here apart from insipid embarrassing ballad 'Babe'. Bruce rocks!

Bad Company V Credence Clearwater Revival I just felt if you like one, you'll like the other.

Jimi Hendrix v Aerosmith.. same as above... both appeal to the same group of people I feel.. though I think both are a load of overrated toss.

Oasis v The Smiths... this may pass the Yanks by... but the Brits.... major decision here!!

By the way.... I'm watching Razzy and Lexie's backs (and their fronts.. and their middles.... and their bums... and their..... ahh.. you get the point. )

Glad you are all finding it as painful as me.... and remember.. this is only round one.

Please note.

If Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald are voted through, and come up against one another in the next round I’m taking my ball back and not playing on the grounds that you lot don’t exist, work for the government and are out to get me because I’m white, Irish and hairy.

My solicitors are watching .

ROFLMFAOOOOOOOOOOO...

Gawd dammit. I was being serious.

How dare you ROFLMFAOOOOOOOOOOO....


This is not a bump. I am merely proving my inferiority by keeping the person I quoted in suspense(ders)

You see, I once awoke with a dog which aroused this strange fetish ... strange really, as I went to bed with a vixen.

And 'Queen' are crap, but in an instrumental, positive way which DirtyBear will totally support me on.


*runs away*

Uhm...

Are you comparing me to a dog?? A *DOG*?? *A DOG*?????

My friend, they, at best, are distant cousins...

Figures you'd wake up next to one... No taste...
