Head to Head: Blondie vs Pat Benatar
It's titled head to head for a reason. Don't go spouting off about other artists. Don't care!
Blondie - Sunday Girl (highly underrated song, I like the half french version better though)
Pat Benatar - Heart Breaker
Blondie - Call Me
Pat Benatar - Promises in the Dark
Blondie - Heart of Glass
Pat Benatar - You Better Run (I didn't know this was the second video ever played on MTV)
I gotta say ignoring their voices,for the early 80's, Pat Benatar looks pretty fucking hot in the Promises and Better Run videos. Blondie actually slightly moves in Heart of Glass and Sunday Girl. And yes, I know Pat was a trained Opera singer that converted to pop.
Blondie - One Way or Another bonus picture video because Blondie had some serious style points for her time period back in the 70's.
Blondie - Hanging on the Telephone Imagine if Blondie was this lively in all of her videos. Hot. (watch before viacom deletes!)
Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot because it's a bad ass song and it's impressive to see her stay on her feet in stilettos.

Benatar has a decent voice, songs in general suxor though.

80s music sucked, generally speaking, these two are no exceptions.

80s music > shitty rap/hip hop "music"

The choreographed dance part of the video was to bad to post! I didn't want it to skew the voting results.Aslanna wrote:No "Love is a Battlefield"? omg
80's > Hip hop crap
The last rap song that was good was sung by Blondie. The original rap song to gain in popularity:
Blondie - Rapture ( I forwarded the link to the rap part of the song)
From the You Tube comments:
The godmother of rap is a little white lady!Debbie Harry didn't invent rap but did promote it and Rapture was the first rap in a song that had its own original music, previously rap always sampled existing music. Also the first rap song to hit #1 on Billboard. During the song she mentions rappers Hip-Hop DJ Grandmaster Flash and Fab 5 Freddie. In the video is cameo by Fab 5 Freddie and grafitti artists Lee Quinones and Jean-Michel Basquiat. William Barnes is the dancer in the white suit who was also the choreographer.

The voting on this is still too close to call. I'll keep the voting open for a little while longer in case there are and mail in votes!

Re: Head to Head: Blondie vs Pat Benatar
Benatar was going to be an Opera singer but they said she couldn't do it. Their loss, our gain. I remember being a kid and looking at these two women and thinking they were so hot. I chose Benatar over Blondie because I think she is a better singer. Blondie was pretty hot in Videodrome though. Smokin even.
