"Too many broken hearts" - Jason Donovan
The best 4.2 seconds of the entire show, the guitar-and-drum introduction. Then we get a video with Jason walking round the outback, standing on a mountain top, chopping wood, and locking eyes with a cute young woman riding a horse.
After seeing this video, the Musician's Union wrote Jason a stroppy letter, because you're only supposed to mime playing the guitar if you can actually play the guitar. Ditto singing.
"Sealed with a Kiss" is a song #writtenAndComposed by #PeterUdell and #GaryGeld. The original #recording of "Sealed with a Kiss" was by #theFourVoices which was released as a #single in May 1960 without becoming a #hit. It first became a hit in 1962 for #BrianHyland. #JasonDonovan later had an international number one hit with the song in 1989. The lyrics are from the point of view of one of two lovers who have had to part ways over the summer.

For the 1989 Brits cycle, Jason Donovan was treated as a British performer, almost got nominated in "Best British Bloke" and "Best British Single".
Would he have beaten the winner in either category? Doubt it; Phil Collins was too popular amongst the "great" and the "good" of the "industry".
"Too many broken hearts" from Jason Donovan. Our Jase is in a white cotton suit, guitar slung over his back as though he's going to play that.
Naaah, all we want is for Jason to find the camera, look through his foppish fringe, and make a million viewers go all a-googlie. The rest of us can enjoy the camera doing a slow pirouette round Jase during the chorus.

Things I did not expect to see: the role of Frank'n'Furter in the new production of the Rocky Horror Show in London is being played by .... Jason Donovan.
