This isn't the best performance Pat Benatar ever gave, but she's a goddess so she can get away with stuff like this. Every time I hear "We Belong".... eek We're not worthy.

LMP isn't the best singer in the world, but she actually writes pretty good lyrics. I've always thought for awhile that she'd make a killing if she just wrote a shitload of songs for other artists. Plus, there's just something about her I like. I like how ballsy she is.

Plus....she's so....purdy. heart

you know what? as much as i study michael (my teacher) and the people in his life, i've never heard lisa marie sing before... i've never heard her music. she's not bad. she's got the affectations of her father a little bit, but she's definitely got her own voice. and that is a good thing.

and i actually do like lisa marie. she's pretty up front on things. she looks like she doesn't put up with people too much, if they don't come with the realness. and that's a good quality to have, as far as i am concerned.

and wasn't pat benatar a classically trained singer? she was an opera singer at one point, wasn't she? i believe mike patton was as well. i can't say i'm really into ms. benatar, but this wasn't bad at all.

i think this is pretty good... the literal version of 'love is a battlefield':

What does "purdy" mean?

Lisa just sounds terrible next to Pat, or maybe even without her she wouldn't sound better. But I like some of her songs. This one's cool.

Purdy's a slang way of saying 'pretty', basically.

My favorite LMP song will probably always be "Lights Out". I love those lyrics.

Thanks for the explanation.
