In defence of The Ridgeley

Great article in The Times yesterday sticking up for Andrew Ridgeley. All too often he is used as the classic example of being the weaker of two halves. For example on Baddiel and Skinners live show an audience member asked David Baddiel if he was the Andrew Ridgeley to Frank's George Michael. Clearly this was quite a harsh (yet somewhat true?) approximation that Baddiel just wasn't and isn't as funny as Skinner. Unforunately, this accusation was instantly confirmed when Baddiel, instead of replying with a devastatingly sharp and hilariously dry comeback, just said nothing. So it was left to Frank to rescue the situation making a gag about his dubious sexual orientation.  However before you rush to describe something or someone as the Andrew Ridgeley of their situation read this article and think carefully. Who would you rather be, Andrew or George?
