Why did you post this again?

Joy Behar won out! </sarc> (at least that last bit!)

That just means that ONJ represented an ‘ideal’ to you.
May the search be with you.
Most of her other songs were good though. RIP Olivia Newton John who starred with John Travolta in that one movie I can't remember.
That video though was the faggiest thing ever.

I know I sure did. My room was wallpapered with posters of her.
Not me. My heart was set on Rachel Welsh.
