Your point is well taken (In fact I agree wholehartedly that there is
*no* criteria for objectively determining whether a song is good or bad, it's
entirely subjective!); however, the reason I commented on the WHAM! song
is because I really don't like the mentality it portrays; I like an artist
to show that they have something other than sex on their mind all the time.
I like a change of pace, ya know!  Not just another boring  song
about the same thing as most other top-40 hits.
