Round 1 Losers Highlights: Gertrude Lawrence

Okay so I don't know a lot about her but she starred in a number of first runs of Noël Coward's plays, among which Private Lives, in which she played one of the lead characters and sang this song, which has a sort of haunting quality combined with her voice. Go listen to it, come back here, and tell me you weren't at least a little mesmerised.

Propaganda: You can't do a hottest 80s band tournament without The Fab Five. They set off fashion trends. They made your Mom (or possibly your grandma if you're real young) swoon. They led the way into the video era. They were Princess Di's favorite band. They got really overexposed, botched a performance at Live Aid and then imploded before coming back as a trio but the classic line-up, the one that brought us Rio and Girls on Film and Hungry Like the Wolf were these five guys. This is Duran Duran and I love them.
