Stevie Nicks, hands down.

I have to give a third nomination to Deborah Harry. I think I was around 12 or so when Heart of Glass came out, and man! That voice of hers was all I needed...

Come to think of it, I think Ann-Margret, or should I say Ann-Margrock got me when she "appeared" on the Flintstones well before Deborah Harry gave me wood.

Justin Timberlake...NSYNC was HUGE when I was in middle school. I remember borrowing my friend's copy of their debut album, putting it in my computer and watching the video for "Tearin' Up My Heart" 100000000000000 times. Especially the part where he goes "I'm goin' crazy without you" and does this poppin' thing and it totally blew my mind. Oh, and the video for Bye Bye Bye where he jumps from the sky and lands and the music stops and he kind of laughs and then it starts again and OMG SQUEE. The only other boy-bander who came close was Nick Carter, but psssh. It was a big deal at my school, the whole BSB v. NSYNC thing. Memories.

Susan Dey as Laurie Partridge. I still lose it for girls w/high cheekbones+long straight hair + big eyes+ full lips.

Debbie Harry.

+ many many 70's (when I was a little one) Spanish pop star ladies whose names I can't recall at the moment but Bless You All.

Bet you like Joni Mitchell then Jay? At least from the cheekbones up?

Yep. Young Joni is lovely.

Aaliyah, specifically in the "If Your Girl Only Knew" video.

I had to double-check Leigh's post up there to make sure I didn't write it myself, so yeah, Roger Taylor (but I often kid myself on it was John Taylor so I don't look like I had such rotten taste). But really, Morten Harket was the first real proper freaky obsessive one.

Bjork circa Sugarcubes "Hit" video, maybe.

If "fancying" mean really paying attention rather than just noticing a cute singer, it must've been Heather Small of M People.

It was a battle between Corey Hart and all four Bangles (especially Michael Steele), and Corey Hart won.

Samantha Fox or Susanna Hoffs. Not entirely certain who was the first.
