Tbf, idiot, as the other one said it was “fabulous”.Yes, because Morrissey’s voice lacks passion. Idiots.
I guess he thought it was funny.Yes, I shouldn’t have used the plural ‘idiots’
But was Jay’s ‘fabulous’ sincere? Anyway, I’ll correct my post.
German TV host/comedian Jan Böhmermann has released a song making fun of Germany's tradition of failing at the European Song Contest. He references Moz visually as well as vocally in the video, up to opening with a TCM vocal mannerism.

Jay is a ‘she’. I am showing my age now but Jay was a sauce pot back in the day. She was often spoke about as… ahem ‘a bit of a girl…’ if you get my drift.I guess he thought it was funny.

I bet they lean slightly to the right after you've worn them for a few years...
good to see the girls getting their own back,iv always like bucks fizz,land of make believe is one of my favourite songs.Another one of those weird NME interview / quiz things, where Morrissey often pops up. This time it's with two former members of Bucks Fizz because, you know, Eurovision:
Which indie star denounced Bucks Fizz’s 1984 single ‘Golden Days’ as “one would hear more vocal passion from an ape under anaesthetic. Inexcusably dim”?
Both laugh.
Cheryl: “I’ve no idea!”
NUL-POINTS! (WRONG) It was Morrissey in Smash Hits.
Jay: “Well, I didn’t expect that! That’s fabulous.”
Cheryl: “[Laughs] Morrissey?! Blimey! Morrissey makes music to fall asleep to! Good grief! That’s hilarious! Music to slit your throat by – that’s Morrissey. No vocal passion? That’s the pot calling the kettle black!”
