DO IT IF U HAVENT 

[Julia Fox]

You're my wish list
Lookin' at you got me thinkin' Christmas
Snowflakes in my stomach when we're kissin'
And when you're comin' down the chimney
Oh, it feels so good
I need a Charles Dickens
You'll be Santa Claus and I'll be Mrs
I'll take you for a ride, I'll be your vixen
I don't even know, I'm talkin' Christmas
I'm talkin', I'm talkin' (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

[Julia Fox]

okay I’m done

You can (especially for ratings purposes  ) split this up into two groups if you'd like (10 and 10) when you post your comments.

 

I'm going to give you all extra time for listening/commenting/ranking. Please be sure to post comments and reactions for ratings~

 

When you rank your list, make sure to rank them from #1-19 (#1 being best)

The points distribution will increase and will stick to the following format for the next few rounds:

Hopefully this is kind of fun? It might make things very close but that's the fun of the game  

Anyway...

[Alena]

whew

wishtie's critiques ☆ﾐ

 

TLC - Creep

oh this super classic  just a really enjoyable 90s bop 

 

aespa - Lucid Dream

CHOICES…. i really do like this actually, but i’m scared for you… it’s just not quite classic level

 

Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You

such a nostalgic song for me, this instantly reminds me of my mom playing & singing this around the house in the early 2000s great pick

 

Ciara - Body Party

YASSS one of my personal faves, an immaculate sex anthem. i was stanning ciara DOWNNN in her self-titled era 

 

Kelly Rowland - Motivation

another GOAT track for me so hot. i adore this classic, even lil wayne’s verse slaps

 

Flo - Cardboard Box

okay this is a more modern choice which i appreciate! such an impressive debut single that deserved more success, just a really solid r&b banger

 

Mary J Blige - Family Affair

oop this is another nostalgic one for me… it’s certainly dated but still really great this round is insanely stacked

 

Whitney Houston - It's Not Right, But It's Okay

YUPPP so so good, one of my favorite Whitney songs for sure. idk if this is controversial but i much prefer this original version to that dance remix that gays are obsessed with

 

Janet Jackson - That's The Way Love Goes

okay yeah, this round is impossible one of my all-time favorite songs, it’s just immaculate for me. shaking at the thought of hearing this beefed up & remastered

 

SZA - Good Days

wowww... i’m just gonna go ahead & say this is probably the best R&B single of the 2020s decade so far. INSTANT classic.

 

Kelela - Blue Light

mmmm such a good pick!! i was obsessed with this album for a whiiiile, and this is one of the strongest tracks for me. exquisite as **** :flavor:

 

Janet Jackson - Go Deep

this is the inferior Janet pick for me, I fear… it’s still a mega bop though like omg? but it’s simple to a fault. not my top song here

 

Natalie Cole - This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)

i admittedly don’t have the biggest attachment to this song, although it is objectively really good. i DO, however, have an attachment to this classic drag race moment https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace/comments/ojq9pq/a_clip_from_one_of_the_best_lipsyncs_in_the_shows/

 

Summer Walker - Playing Games

yeah this wouldn’t be a proper R&B round without some summer walker  it’s a little bit generic but still really solid, and I personally love it

 

Brandy - What About Us

okay i might get some heat for this but Brandy is far from my favorite 90s/00s R&B girlie… her music overall just doesn’t engage me as much as some of her contemporaries. fine song but not my fave here, the production is kinda annoying?

 

Aaliyah - One in A Million

one thing about Aaliyah is she’s gonna have ICONIC and amazing production. mega classic, my older sister was an Aaliyah stan so I heard her a lot as a kid.  it hits all of the marks for me

 

TLC - No Scrubs

it doesn’t get much more classic than this  an undeniably strong track, and it’s hitting me hard rn

 

Kelela - LMK

omg i don’t know how i’m going to choose between these Kelela tracks love this so so much, it’s hard to put into words how much I love this album

 

Brandy - Afrodisiac

it’s definitely a me problem but why are these Brandy songs kinda limp i guess i’m coming out as a Brandy hater this round jlsdfkjlsjk

 

Toni Braxton - He Wasn't Man Enough

oopppp a solid pick! i ADORE Toni’s deeper, sexy alto vocal range. she really stands out for this reason. a great song that will probably be somewhere in the middle of my ranking

this is gonna be so hard to rank whew

[minho]

Trying to decide my personal 20 this round... I think for this rounds' results I'll have to share my personal top 3 instead 

[Staryu]

 

TLC - Creep
Legit one of my favorite songs of all time, the best use of a trumpet in a song ever

and it outsold ALL over songs with the same title (especially Radiosnooze) 

 

aespa - Lucid Dream
This is really good I'm glad you have many k-pop stans to keep you afloat this round

because it will be hard for me to rank this high with so many classics I love here

 

Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You
Beautiful song, I love the piano and Alicia sounds lovely, love to sing along too

 

Ciara - Body Party
Love the sample, the correct way to use one this is also a fun, sexy, sultry bop

 

Kelly Rowland - Motivation
This is very similar to Body Party for me, same vibe and sexiness, Lil Wayne unneeded tho

 

Flo - Cardboard Box
Modern R&B masterpiece with a throwback sound they understood the assignment

 

Mary J Blige - Family Affair
Mary Mary Mary one of the best bops of the 2000s 

 

Whitney Houston - It's Not Right, But It's Okay
This is an anthem, I love the chorus and I love the xylophone or w/e instrument that is on the beat

 

Janet Jackson - That's The Way Love Goes
Top tier 90s song, Janet at her best, the vibe is everything, it's sultry sexy chill beautiful

 

SZA - Good Days
This what we will hear as we enter Heaven (gay heaven, not str8) 

 

Kelela - Blue Light
I'm not as familiar with this song as most others here but I still really enjoy it, it's definitely top tier 10s R&B

 

Janet Jackson - Go Deep
An underrated chill bop the chorus is one of her bests to me 

 

Natalie Cole - This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)
I love this song and have nostalgia feels for it because it's used in the Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap movie  
ALSO DIDA RITZ DID THAT

 

Summer Walker - Playing Games
Summer is a modern R&B princess tbh, this is great but not a classic, will be hard to rank :suffering: 

 

Brandy - What About Us
A bop, I always thought this had some kind of futuristic quality to it, idk how to explain, but I love it

 

Aaliyah - One in A Million
One of my favorite songs another heavenly song from angel Aaliyah

 

TLC - No Scrubs
A classic, a bop, it's iconic 

 

Kelela - LMK
My favorite modern R&B song tbh, a highlight of the 2010s

 

Brandy - Afrodisiac
A fun, catchy bop also a uniquely Brandy song, which is a good thing

 

Toni Braxton - He Wasn't Man Enough
Her tone is deep and rich and one of the best ever tbh, this is such a fun hot sexy bop classic song
 

[Sanguine]

TLC - Creep: Mega extreme classic

aespa - Lucid Dream: I mean yes it stands out but this is an amazing song off one of the best K-Pop EPs ever, so I'm not ranking it lower just for being new and a non-classic

Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You: Boring

Ciara - Body Party: Not my favorite here, I usually like high pitched vocals but her tone is kinda grating? It's okay, but okay is certainly not enough here sorry

Kelly Rowland - Motivation: Well my three least faves are all next to each other :cri: once again it's okay but there's so much better here sorry!

Flo - Cardboard Box: One of the best debut singles of the year and like with Aespa, absolutely holds up here

Whitney Houston - It's Not Right, But It's Okay: The production on this is pretty interesting, it's cool. Nice chorus too

Janet Jackson - That's The Way Love Goes: Lovely song but I much prefer Go Deep

Kelela - Blue Light: THIS MASTERPIECE LORDDDD

Janet Jackson - Go Deep: THIS MASTERPIECE LORDDDD [2]

Natalie Cole - This Will Be (An Everlasting Love): Who let PinkBox back in? :hmm: This was fun!!
