From the hideous to the cheesy, to the plain nasty...
17. Barry Manilow – ‘Mandy’
Just edging Westlife’s version of the same song in terms of drippiness, this poppy ballad is utterly soaked in maudlin affection. That Barry Manilow’s ‘Mandy’ manages to gather up such an abundance of tackiness into just one song is its main achievement.

- This is brilliant. **** Valentines Day. Though very disappointed about Hello being in there. It’s timeless.
- And I thought music is intended to be HEARD, not SEEN. You wish you had half of their talent. If you can sing better falsetto and be a better frontman than Mr. Chaplin, play the keyboards more passionately than Mr. Rice-Oxley and make such a great beat and a little catchy drumming before the last chorus I would be surprised. The lyrics are so great and the track has such a power. It’s because of idiots like you that Mr Chaplin attended rehab. I suggest you to hear Leaving So Soon? ;) c

- and SOWK isn’t even a love song of the Valentine’s Day type. and I forgot, ”make such a great beat and a little catchy drumming before the last chorus as Mr. Hughes”
- He had the press calling him fat etc! Obviously he had some low esteem. And why do they say these things about him like if he was the only one? Most legends of music were drug addicts. And Keane isnt all around him, you know? theres 2 more brains there to make music. They are stating that they don’t like the song because of the singer, without even mentioning his voice. its just stupid. reading this article, music doesnt even seem like and art. and sowk isnt even a valentines song.
