I'm not extolling the merits of Goth/Goff/Gothic/whathaveyou, but I *CANNOT=
*
stand the lazy misappropriation of terminology that has undertaken usage of
the "G" word. Just because a band *HAPPENS* to boast a sartorial penchant
for black, that does not *AUTOMATICALLY* render them a "Goth" band. The
Police wore black in the video for "Roxanne".......are they goths? Thought
not.

"There's more to "Goth/Gothic/Goff" than wearing black, by the way."

...if we are, my only observations are:
1. They're Christians, which renders their music instantly moot, as far as
I'm concerned.
2. Despite her much touted operatic background, I don't hear a lot of range
in her shrill mewling.
3. If their name is Evanescence, why won't they hurry up and vanish already=
?
There's more to "Goth/Gothic/Goff" than wearing black, by the way.

Be one thing if she was drop dead hot, but she isn't even that great to loo=

Horrible vox
Cheesy lyrics
Boring musicianship
Nothing to really look at
I just cant figure it out...I mean, as talent less as Britney is, at least
shes hot...
