Wasn't she a pound shop Toyah?

I think they occupy the same ground singer/actress from the punk pop era. At least HOC didn't eek out her career narrating children's programmes

Also both originally from the West Midlands. Coventry in O'Connor's case, Birmingham for Wilcox.

LL was a one hit wonder. HOC was an acclaimed actress as well, shagged George Michael and I would suggest you listen to Will You? & rethink.


The fact is that when Hazel O'Connor was launched with Breaking Glass and its soundtrack album, her new-wave vocal style was very obviously derived from Lene Lovich, who had indeed had a hit record the year before and was still around, if on the way down.

 

Re George Michael, I'm not sure there's much credit in having sex with a man who was arrested in a public toilet.

I like all three, but I'd say Hazel has the best voice.  Lene and Toyah rely more on being quirky.

Regardless of that,  I can assure you that A LOT of women would have loved to have sex with George Michael.
