Dilemma

I can't in good conscience give Scouting for Girls a tick if I have not also ticked the View. However, I also cannot in good conscience untick Katy Perry or the charts. I'll untick Palin ONLY because she's so unrelated to horrible POP things of the year. In fact, she was an awesome Pop Thing, just a horrible Political Thing.

VIEW vs. SCOUTING FITE.

re: Palin, I know right! The only way to even put up with her presence was to conceptualise her as a purely Pop Thing.

Yeah obviously much as I dislike Glasvegas they do not have even the slim potential to actually fuck up the planet that Palin still has. But as a "POP" thing I coudn't really vote for her.

I nominated her but didn't vote for her.

I still have to figure out what to do with my third vote, though it's got to be for something that isn't going to beat Scouting For Girls.

(I won't vote for Katy Perry. I like her more than I dislike her, and at times she's a breath of fresh air in relation to the surrounding torpor, even if she is grating as all fuck. Max and Luke and Cathy know how to write a tune.)

I voted for her though I like her music and also nominated her for most intriguing pop thing

I'd accept a View victory, seeing as I nominated them both this year and last year.
