Candicé? Candîce? Candise?

I've never been certain what to think of Candice (Candicé? Candîce? Candise?) Hillebrand.

From K-TV presenter, to M-Net continuity announcer, to potential Baywatch babe (aww, she turned them down), to desperate hair commercials - to now full-on rock chick? And all over the web as well (including fake nudes, porn stories, etc...). She can't seem to stay out of the spotlight.

For someone who has graced the cover of just about every local magazine, my opinion of her changed slightly from the stereotyped attention-deprived Patricia Lewis-like poppie to a more down-to-earth kinda girl after seeing and hearing her interview on TV (Jerry Springer Saturday Night Live, possibly?) quite a while ago. Boy was that impression short lived.

But all things said, she truly cannot sing - listen for yourself - despite what her critics claim. Give me JLH any day.

Says songwriter Clive Young: "Sure, Candice looks as good as Kylie and Holly and our other TV talent making it hit pop songs. But she has far more edge in her music. She writes poetry and sings rock, and her music is up to the highest Australian standards.

I say, good for them, I'm happy as long as she stays on our magazine covers and off our radio stations. And she could really do with a decent website! ;)
