FED: John Farnham tops list of Australia's favourite singers

SYDNEY, Aug 28 AAP - He might be a bit older and carry a few more kilos than he used
to, but John Farnham is still winning votes as Australia's most popular male singer.

A survey of 511 Australians aged 14 and over found the 52-year-old Australian singer
was still their favourite male performer with four per cent of the vote.

On the other end of the musical scale, controversial US rapper Eminem - whose lyrics
have been branded violent and homophobic - came second with 2.5 per cent.

Canadian singer Celine Dion was the most popular female singer or performer, with seven
per cent of the vote, followed by Shania Twain on 4.5 per cent and Madonna on three per
cent.

When it came to bands, the oldies but goodies were at the top of people's lists.

The top three included The Beatles at 5.5 per cent, U2 on three per cent and The Eagles
on two per cent.

The artists that topped the lists were voted in by such low percentages as Australians
were extremely diverse in their musical tastes, said Michele Levine from the survey group
Roy Morgan Research.

Respondents were not given a list to choose from and so came up with thousands of favourite
entertainers, she said.

Morgan Research conducted the survey for entertainment business clients.
