Like a Virgin at #3 please

I should have sabotaged, but I never dreamed it would make top 10, let alone top 3 

All smash hit singles made the top 10 except for Bored and the Beast!

[ChooseyLover]

Sorry I don't get the hype with this one. I rated it a 6.5 so I'm in total disbelief. 

[naval23]

Whitney being 1-2 punched out of the top 3 noooo

 

Celine and Whitney - the legends you are

Like A Virgin out next omg pLEASE.

		#3 Like a Virgin Score: 8.82 High score: 11 @ChooseyLover@sparrowblue@Nightingale Low score: 6
		@Mariya Takeuchi   Comments: GreatestLoveofAll: "Its can be a bit annoying especially her tone on the chorus but a classic is a classic" Ewan Chaos: "Honestly............ A little overrated as far as her singles go. Can't rate it too low though, I'm not a fool!" Nightingale: "I feel this gets so overlooked nowadays in her discography but there's a reason this shot her into stardom"

THE CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED OMG

MATERIAL GWORL #1 

[KillingYourCareer]

I'm not a fan of Madonna's hypersexualized image that she had at the time, but this song slaps. And the video was shot in ITALY

Like a Virgin > Material Girl

Emotions is my clear winner now. Those whistles at the end alone are eargasm material.

[Album Leak]

Emotions deserves it but I like Material Girl more right now.

		@Mariya Takeuchi   Comments: GreatestLoveofAll: "Its one of three Madonna songs I consider my fave from her. so much fun this one." Curaga: "This song is genuinely so funny; I just love it!" Ewan Chaos: "I know she seems to hate it and lots of her stans say it's overrated, DISAGREE!!!!!!!!! That chorus is amazing."

 

 

		#1  Emotions Score: 9.32 High score: 11 @Nightingale Low score: 5
		@sparrowblue   Comments: Curaga: "I mean, how could you not give that a 10! ICON!" Ewan Chaos: "Someone post the Vine of the lawnmower soaring into the sky at THAT note"

The whole top 6 was amazing, and a fantastic song won

[KillingYourCareer]

I can't wait for part three of this rate. This is making me revisit some great albums. Thanks @Saddy and see you soon for the next chapter hopefully!

[SoldierofLove]

I gave Emotions a 10 so this is a great result!

Thank you @Saddy! This has been fun! 

 

I hope we get to do a 3rd rate  @Ace

[Curaga]

@Saddy, thank you so much for another fantastic, no nonsense rate!  This was a blast!

[Quicksand]

Thank you @Saddy for hosting this rate! Hopefully we can do the third installment soon 

[Album Leak]

Honestly, very deserved. I'm surprised that songs that got booted way earlier had even more 11s than the winner and second runner up! Some songs getting a whole four 11s, while these girlies barely getting 2 and the winner only having 1! But I think people gave their 11s to less obvious choices because it was basically guaranteed that some songs would be in top 5 from the beginning!

 

Anyway, this rate had as many upsets as the first one (which made it fun!), but the final results I can live with (IWDWS deserved to be in top 3 tho!!!!!). And as always, Janet has been destroyed once again, and the curse has been lifted for the end of this great saga. 

 

Thank you @Saddy for these rates, you deserve a vacation now! I do hope the third rate is given the green light at some point though!

I'll see the rest of you in the final Pokemon rate, and hopefully Best Of 2024

Looking forward to the next one. It's been making me listen to Whitney and Céline's albums for the first time and I want to keep doing that. 
 

It was fun and Emotions is rightfully the winner.
