Goldilocks (the consumer) and the three bears

Fotunately porridge is big business for Fleur and Abi Emery. You can just plop their product in the microwave at your ideal temperature. But as far as celebrities go, you'll never get that exact feeling from your younger days, with the new singers today



Papa don't preach
Wiki
The song's musical style combines pop and classical rhythms, and its lyrics deal with teenage pregnancy and abortion. It was written by Brian Elliot with additional lyrics by Madonna. It was based on teen gossip he heard outside Elliot's studio, which has a large front window that doubles as a mirror where schoolgirls from the North Hollywood High School in Los Angeles regularly stopped to fix their hair and chat. Shortly after its release, the song caused heated discussions about its lyrical content. Women's organizations and others in the family planning field criticized Madonna for encouraging teenage pregnancy, while groups opposed to abortion saw it as a positive pro-life message. The song also caused her first conflict with the Vatican, as she dedicated it to Pope John Paul II, who urged Italian fans to boycott her concerts during the Who's That Girl World Tour in 1987. In 2002, the song was recorded as a hard rock version by British singer Kelly Osbourne

Personal comment

The orignal is so much better
. As well as the video.
Makes more sense than Osbourne's
Madonna's dancing is a bit weird but yeah at the time she was hot










Kelly is too modest when compared to Madonna







And Gaga is too...gaga when compared to Madonna. Though I'd be curious to hear her remake Papa Don't Preach










Madonna is a bit of an icon, like Cher, best remembered for her glory days. Okay then maybe Britney Spears could be compared to Madonna? Only thing is what I remember most (if not only) is Oh Baby Baby, her breakdowns and her manager. She's nuts




So that rules all 3 out.
And here's the classic
song Papa Don't Preach 1986 and below Kelly's 2002 version










Lyrics

Papa I know you're going to be upset
'Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I'm not a baby

You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what I'm saying

The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
We're in an awful mess, and I don't mean maybe - please

[Chorus:]

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, oh
I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...

He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be all right
It's a sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I'm too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please

[chorus]

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
'Cause we are in love, we are in love, so please

[chorus]

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
[repeat]

Oh, I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh
Don't you stop loving me daddy
I know, I'm keeping my baby
I know, I'm keeping my baby
I know, I'm keeping my baby
