Black Betty, Are You Gonna Go My Way, Something For Your Head-----cheesy? I think NOT!!!! Ok, some of the million or so emotion-dripping ballads....maybe--low-fat cheese.And he DOES let you know why he's in the room-we like that!

And I partially quote the author on the subject of Tom, “the men don’t know”. That’s right Rob, so please, until you do know, stop referring to Tom as cheesy. I know, why don’t you two stand in a room together and let’s see who is the cheesiest.I can guarantee you it won’t be him.

What a list! To me, “cheesy” is usually a badge of honor. Now I know that the term is not viewed that way inside many music circles, but just look at those who have been deemed cheesy over the years–they are usually singers who dared to bring a specific genre to a wider audience; they worked to make the music appealing to the many, rather than the few. That, in and of itself, is a hard thing to do and it is even harder to do it right.

And usually after the artist has accomplished the task, they tend to stick around for quite some time. I guess Velveeta never goes bad

I bet if Elvis were still alive these boneheads would have put him on the list. And if overt sexuality is a precondition, where were Madonna and George Michael. Like A Virgin, especially the way Madonna has performed the song in the past, was made for a fondue.

I strongly disagree with this list. Besides loving Tom Jones, David Clayton Thomas was always one of my favorites. Some more likely cheesy candidates would be Englebert H., Michael Bolton, not to mention Tiny Tim.

I’ve checked this list a couple of times and, Moderator, I feel you should send this author your definition of cheesy. Don’t think he quite grasps the meaning of the word. Seems that a large percentage of the folks on this list have made fabulous careers under this man’s definition of cheesy.

As for who might be on my “cheesiest list,” I’d choose someone who feels that they are an entertainer, but somehow don’t quite cut the cheese - - someone say, like David Hasselhoff!
