Album Leak Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Just now, Saddy said: Omg I guess rip Janet Well, I'm pretty confident she'll be getting a 4 in one song. Highest score I gave in the debut album was 3. She is improving, me thinks! 1
Saddy Posted October 22 Author Posted October 22 I hope this rate is gonna be pinned too, we need more ppl to join this messy rate

Curaga Posted October 22 Posted October 22 omg the sophomore albums so soon! You were behind the scenes WORKING! Janet's, Mariah's, and Céline's albums will all be new to me, so I probably won't submit till close to the deadline I'm hoping I can find some of the Janet songs enjoyable like I did with her debut, but it seems like people hate Dream Street even worse based on the comments I've seen so far ddd 1

Definitely not perfect like her next albums but definitely not the worst. So you might actually like this album like I did when I first heard it 1
ChooseyLover Posted October 22 Posted October 22 (edited) We'll exit these rates having turned into diva connoisseurs I'm only familiar with Mariah, Kylie and Madonna's albums (I was too turned off by Janet's to listen more than once) so this should be fun. Edited October 22 by ChooseyLover 3
Album Leak Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Is Dream Street better than her debut? Well after listening to it.. sorta kinda...
SoldierofLove Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Looking forward to this! Thanks for organizing again @Saddy! Nude swaps now open to coordinate rating our faves. Preview: Spoiler Yes, that's me. More available for 11s! 1

Album Leak Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Just now, Saddy said: See? I told y'all The last three songs kinda saved it tbh. 1
KillingYourCareer Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Poor Janet, she surely won't stand another chance here! 2
Album Leak Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Kylie's album was surprisingly weak, though I wouldn't say her debut was all that either. But her debut had I Should Be So Lucky and Loco-Motion which really improved it's score. I am debating whether I want to give a 11 to Whitney's IWDWS or not, because it's going to be super predictable and I think another song I love could benefit from it more, even if I wouldn't say I like it more than IWDWS. BUT, do I want Material Girl, Like a Virgin or Emotions winning over IWDWS? Still have to listen to Mariah's and Celine's albums, I'm hoping Celine will surprise me. Celine's album will have Beauty and the Beast, wonder how that's going to place in the rate. The Disney nostalgia could help it a lot, or maybe people are tired of Disney and have little nostalgia for it, idk. And none for Janet Jackson, BYE. 1
Saddy Posted October 22 Author Posted October 22 Received the 1st ballot (2nd if counting myself) I'm kinda wondering if sophomore rate is gonna be way better (in the number of participants) than the debut rate
Ewan Chaos Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Poor Janet getting a back-to-back lashing, just wait until album 3 though This Kylie album is way worse than her debut so I don't think I'll be giving her graces just for being one of my faves... but there will be a few high scores sprinkled in. LAV is for sure my least favorite 80s Madonna album, which is a shame cuz if they'd cut a song or two and added in Into the Groove then it'd leap up to being her 2nd best 80s album. BUT. It will be getting some high scores and my favorite Madonna song is on here. So I can't wait for it to undeniably flop with my luck! And then Celine, Mariah (sans singles) & Whitney (besides Dance) will be new for me. 1
