Yeah I figured this would be a "debut guaranteed, follow-up likely, not much after" kind of rate series which would be fine. The thought of Control, Rhythm of Love, and True Blue going up against each other though... DAMN!

I really want the 3rd rate and the next ones to happen, but it's not me who approves it :gaycat6: maybe next year we will finally have the 3rd rate tho

The thing is Ace told me I can't use Janet's Control for the 3rd rate since they already rated it in the past and I don't wanna do the 3rd rate without Janet :gaycat6: That's why I'm saying the next rates probably won't happen, unless Ace let me use all the girls' albums despite the fact that in the past some of these albums were already rated

Oh wow . And a lot of these albums have been rated I think. Hmm. Heres a fix you may or may not like, but instead of ending after part 2, doing a Singles Rate between the 6 divas and call it a day. At least you get something from your original idea by using their singles.

Nahh my idea is to rate their whole discography not just the singles. it's kinda sucks that we can't use some album cuz they were already rated in the past, it's not like we are doing this every year lol If it were up to me, I would use Control and other albums, cuz someone who participated in the past won't come but new ppl who never participated will and the results will be 100% different from the "first" rate  :alexz2: but yk I can't do nothing about this rule lol

Yeah I get that. Hopefully they'll allow it eventually since so many tracks and albums get re-rated in some kind of way.

It's a shame that part 3 might not be happening, that would be exciting.

 

I can't promise that I'll be able to do this one as I'm only familiar with 2.5 albums, and since the end of the year is approaching, I'd like to focus on the albums from 2024. If I have the time, I'll work on the rate.

We did a rate with Control, True Blue and True Colors once upon a time

I shall give Whitney all 10s cause I won't let y'all drag my girl. Plus it's my fave album from her so I can't wait for this.

 

Never heard Kylie's so this is gonna be new but I loved her debut so I have high hopes. Emotions is a classic album and so it will get love and I hope the other voters see that too. Like that's one of her very best imo. Celine finna eat too cause "water to the moon" alone>>>>
 

like a virgin as an album isn't all that but it's singles will def get some solid scores and Janet… well I heard dream street is better than the debut so we here for it nonetheless. I'm fr so excited to send my scores and I WILL participate in the reveals this time.

Album averages this time around.

 

Dream Street: 2.38
Like A Virgin:  5.55

Whitney: 6.90

Enjoy Yourself: 4.95

Emotions: 5.60

Celine Dion: 5.84

 

The Whitney eatery oh wow!

 

Comparing debut and sophomore albums. 

 

Janet Jackson (2.25) < Dream Street (2.38)

Madonna (3.7) < Like A Virgin (5.55)

Whitney Houston (5.4) < Whitney (6.90)

Kylie (5.7) > Enjoy Yourself (4.95)

Mariah Carey (5.36) < Emotions (5.60)

Unison (4.4) < Celine Dion (5.84)

 

Kylie's is the only one that really tanked this rate. It just.. wasn't that good of an album. Lacked the energy and fun of her debut.

Janet barely getting a better score, and it was all because of the last three songs on the album really. :toofunny2:

I think I was nicer than necessary to Emotions, as outside of the title track, there was pretty few songs that I truly liked. But like I said, the songs weren't bad and Mariah's vocals are amazing on them but... the songs were pretty blase.

 

Whitney, Madonna and Celine all increasing their score pretty heavily this time around, while Whitney being the clear frontrunner. What can I say, that album was rather delicious.

This is such a stupid rule wtf??? lol

in all fairness @Saddy i think @Ace Reject was saying he's thinking about changing the old rules up a bit so rates can get more popular again so you might be allowed ....
