sparrowblue: "that was a classic. that was a classic. the video elevated it."

Ken Lee: "The weakest single imo"

If you don't like The Pleasure Principle then I fear you just don't have the propensity to feel pleasure at all. A sad existence.

blown away: "Another song that shouldn't have been relegated to the deluxe edition. It's a perfectly decent album track, and the chorus is among the best ones on the album."
sparrowblue: "A shame this was THROWN to a b-side. Too much r&b for mop head mottola I guess. Anyway I love the haunting vocal arrangement backed by the dreamy production. She's looking for a resolution here and for most of the song there's like a composed longing, a plea, which flows calmly into the bridge and then she just goes OFF in panic. The transitions from belting to head voice paired with the calm backing vocals, it's like you can see her flailing around in distress till the music descends and we're back to square one. Unresolved."
poki: "Not really"

Oop we did just get to an average of 8+ moving forward and we're not even in the top 10... that says a lot at least :flower:

Okay I loved Do You Think Of Me and prob would have given it a 10 if it were in the original album aka I'd heard it before this rate but I'm SCREAMING at sparrow providing a paragraph of praise for the song with his 11 and poki saying a two-word joke for his 1 :bibliahh:

It's a nice song, don't get me wrong, but this and the other bonus track we cut a few places back have always been slightly overrated by the fandom because... I dunno, because they're good songs in an era that was lacking many? Because tons of awful songs made the regular tracklist and they didn't?

 

It's like they have an underdog appeal, which is neat, but they're not top ten material in this rate. With these girls. So goodbye Mariah.

I'm pleasantly surprised Everything Fades Away made it this far. Do You Think of Me being this high is a wild card too (above La Isla Bonita? I would have never imagined).

Comments:

Ewan Chaos: "That iconic "give me a beat!" YAAS esp when Artemis uses it in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia at that kid's pageant show nnnn"
Curaga: "This instrumental is kind of hilarious :skull:"
blown away: "What's not to like about this? It's sassy, groovy, catchy and deserves to be a well known classic."
poki: "Why does it end ABRUPTLY? Like, do you hear that? It's like there's 2 seconds cut off from the end that should be there to let the music come to a full stop."
GreatestLoveofAll: "a classic, a classic, a CLASSIC"

Welp :lakitu: Nasty being out of the top 10 is something. But coming from the past two rates it's nice to see Janet actually putting up a fight.

Comments:

Nightingale: "Perfect song to launch her into stardom"
Ewan Chaos: "The section "I never asked for..." AHHHHHHHH best part of the rate"
blown away: "Choosing between this, Nasty and The Pleasure Principle for my 11 was hard. Great production, great lyrics and the delivery is on point."
poki: "The full album version was on the radio a few weeks ago and felt like it went on forever. I don't like how 2 minutes is the go-to time stamp these days but this track could have done without the last minute or two."
GreatestLoveofAll: "her first top five hit! "
