Going in, I have only heard ‘Soft Cell’. I had always loved their version, however, I had never seen the video. Marilyn and Imelda are both new to me.

Soft Cell: Oh my God! That shit is borderline child porn. That prissy ass little swish was wearing almost as much make-up as Marilyn Manson. I would use Marilyn Manson Day Care services before I would leave a child with that pervo. Quit prancing around in that little mini-skirt! It is making me uncomfortable.

Marilyn Manson: Groovy car, brah. Looks like a ’67 Lincoln Continental with those suicide doors. Crazy party scene, with lots of action and actresses and stuff. I think I recognized the blond cheerleader as a cast member of ‘Nip/Tuck’. The performance is standard Marilyn cover band style. Are all his hits covers?

Imelda May: She was good! I liked her curve enhancing dress, the retro hair and make-up, but most of all, I loved her crazy way of singing. Some strange dialect or accent was at work. I liked all the old-timers in the band.

Odd, I usually hate at least one version of the songs offered, but I actually enjoyed all three entries today.

Three Way Tie!!!
-Soft Cell- Best arrangement
-Marilyn Manson – Best produced and most entertaining video
-Imelda May – Best performance

But because I like Nicole, I will narrow it down to one. Miss Imelda May for the BIG win.
