Pop goes the weaselface

Australia is different. In the civilised world, women are chosen to be popstars on the basis of their good looks and ability not to look too spazzy when dancing. Producers can easily fix up their singing. But Australia is thin on good-looking women. Here's the best we can manage:



Check out the dancing! That beefy blonde chick would not be out of place in the nightclubs I spent my teenage years in.

Frankly, Australia is all too reminiscent of my teenage years. Back then, I lived in a boring country town, which travelled about 15 years off the pace in anything that has a fashion. None of the women would give me a second glance, on account of my looking more feminine than they did probably. Make 15 a minimum of 20 and you have a perfect description of Brisbane. Stock Aitken and Waterman would be cutting edge here.

It appears they (SAW) still are. If you shut your eyes you'd be hard pressed to find the joins in that song, where one stops and the other takes over. Young women pop singers in the mainstream these days have one voice, and one singing style. Was it always that way? Probably.

At least Stock etc gave us Kylie. And that Rick Astley had a nice voice.
