Surely Paris Hilton vs Cher is the Ukraine v Switzerland of this tournament?

Jacko vs Dr Alban = France v Spain obviously. OH HOW IT PAINS ME TO CHOOSE.

when i was 9 years old i performed a lip sync version of "the shoop shoop song" in drag for my parents. i LOVED cher. i was a GAY child.

are the GAAAAAY nine year olds of today doing the same with "stars are blind"? i hope so.

I would have seconded Cher if I'd thought of it. She definitely deserves to make the tournament, even if she doesn't progress very far.
