I thought AG's Straight Up was disgusting.
Not because a particularly good song was travestied, but because it capitulated to hegemonic (white hetero male rock cric community) ideas of what constitutes "art." And Kara Dogface calls it "genius."
It was sentimental, dull, inexpressive, impersonal--a winning Idol combination.
