Gaga's "You and I" Single Cover

Annie Lennox at the '83 Grammy Awards and Stefani's "You & I" single cover
Stefani's released her single cover for her song "You & I", dressed as her alter male ego, Jo Calderone.  The MVA's are coming up and people are wondering what Stefani will wear this year to top the meat dress from last year.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say she's going dressed as a man.  People will notice and monsters will ooo and ahhh and bask in how inspiring and how original she is.  They will believe that Stefani is simply amazing and a force to be reckoned with.  That no other has done what she has done!  WRONG!

However, I can't totally fault Stefani's monsters since most of them are still in high school.  Maybe some of them know that legend Annie Lennox created quite a storm at the 1983 Grammy Awards dressed as a man as well.  So now educate yourself.  Annie Lennox was the front woman of British duo band The Eurythmics.  The Eurythmics broke out on the scene in 1983 with their hit single Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) Annie Lennox is known for her androgynous style and cutting edge at the time.   Lennox is one of the world's best selling music artists having sold over 80 million records worldwide.  Lennox is also considered a long time gay icon.
