1. Björk- "New World"
2. Worst artist: Ricky Martin, Worst group of artists: Backstreet Boys, Worst "Band": Creed
3. Desert island: Very tough choice as I'm split about 50/50. Prince is the trump for America, though.
4. Eurythmics- Step on the Beast rare cassette. I shelled out $150 for it.
5. All have been tragic, but I'd say Janis Joplin's may be the most tragic.
6. An enthusiastic singer? Hell yes! I wouldn't call myself particularly good, although I've won about 5 karaoke contests! It's all about the performance, though, and I'd say I'm more of a showman than a singer.
