The vagaries of a random draw can sometimes throw up early matches that might well have turned up later in the tournament. Our first one today is definitely one of these - one of pop's great icons vs one of pop's great (nay only) 'chameleons'. And our second fight? Somewhat of an undercard...


[Poll #773274]


Last time: ADAM ANT beat Nicola Roberts. AALIYAH beat Geri Halliwell.

i think i have based a THEORY round the number of time the word "star" appears on ziggy stardust!

well i know i have -- i just can't remember what it was

(possibly -- deflation alert -- that ZS is in fact an ESSAY ABOUT STARDOM!!)

Placebo & David Bowie- Without You I'm Nothing!

As one wag pointed out in the NME letters page, "a duet between Cartman and Grandpa Simpson".

David Bowie has NO GOOD SONGS AT ALL therefore Debs wins be default.

A Bowie canon would give me a good chance to rant though. He brings out the Lex in me, mostly because he has THE WORST VOICE IN POP.

heart of glass aside, blondie are far more boys-with-guitars indie jangle than a good half of la bowie's output -- james brown even ripped off a bowie riff!

One would like to vote for Debbie, but retiring from the public spotlight for the better part of a decade to take care of your sick boyfriend /= POP

Why is Ross Manovoure in Pop Fite? He had about one top 20 single 6 years ago didn't he??

Odd.
