This has me gobsmacked. I think he’s gorgeous. Are you sure you’re not thinking of Tom Jones?

Yeah, I like the Barry. So what?

My faves are _Mandy_, _Even Now_, _I Write The Songs_, & _Can’t Smile_ _Without You_. Oh and I like _Ready To Take A Chance Again_, too.

When I’m in the mood for kitsch, I, like every other Manilowlover, will rock out to  
_Copacabana_. 😛

Copacobana & Read Them and Weep.

I just posted in this thread and the Neil Diamond one. I feel so icky.

Ah! A true classic from Bloom County’s “Billy and the Boingers”. 😃

I don’t exactly think he’s _gorgeous_, but I’ve always thought he was attractive, in an overly-nosed sort of way 🙂 (though I do notice a trend of generous schnozzes in many of the actors/singer I like (such as Alan Rickman and Peter Wingfield), so I guess it’s not too strange that I like Barry.)
