Thank you @Death Impends

I'm lifting the ban on "Diego" for now. Any legit complaints about his conduct and he's back out.

It gives me the impression that the old lady hates music or is an attention seeker.  

 

Come on now, be fair. She could just be a psychopath.

No no no, of course not! Was only joking. I think it's brilliant!

[ladyfiona 2,245]

@theoldlady should stay. She helps make the game fun and interesting.

[Toast 15,368]

Yes, someone ruthless is necessary to keep the game moving.

This is right when I first got interested in pop music, aged about 9. So there are plenty of songs that I really like for nostalgic reasons, although if they'd come out almost any other time I wouldn't rate them at all. Su Pollard, however, is just crap.

Given the previous list and what has happened in a scant few votes on this list, it is evident Brits didn’t like the Jellybean version of Madonna (?????) which literally put her in the map?  Pfft.

06 Su Pollard — Starting Together -2

 

A couple of years ago I entered a DDP team of Irritating People. None of them died, but Su Pollard was one of the first names on the teamsheet.

Sinitta gets downvoted for her part in kick-starting Simon Cowell's career in the music industry.

 

Lot of rubbish here, big drop off in quality from the previous round.

00 Su Pollard — Starting Together -6

 

The only reason that garbage by Sinitta didn't get -6 was because Su Pollard was only on 6 to start with. I don't know the song, but I know Su Pollard and I can't believe it's much good, so no loss. Can't believe we had to lose Cyndi Lauper and Bonnie Tyler from the last round for a couple of these to go through. Might just about be able to scrape together 5 decent songs (there are a few I like - it is the 80s after all!) but I don't see many of these getting too far in the Grand Final.
