Papa Don't Preach SCREAMS lead single so it's always shocking to me how it was the second single from True Blue:rip:

"Madonna bribed Billboard with microwaves in the 80s" vibes due to the lack of comments lol

Erm I know Better the Devil You Know is still in (deserves to win highkey) but I legit can't even think of what its competitor is :deadbanana:

In all spiritual and artistic ways it kind of is the lead single. Live To Tell was more like a movie song that got upgraded to album tracklist iirc. Both slays tho. The other girls wish.

Genuinely thought you all were joking when you said Janet didn't make top 10 cause I thought there was no way. But you guys were serious :deadbanana4:

I'm team Whitney for the win. I'm Your Baby Tonight is THAT song, both the US version and the European version.

 

Better The Devil You Know is still an A-class song as well. Pop brilliance.

It was her chance to sweep :psyduck: To me I had no doubt it was the best album of the bunch.

Looks like I'm fatal, it's all on the table
And baby you hold the cards
You got the magic and I gotta have it
I don't want the pieces, I want every. single. part.

Comments:

Ewan Chaos: "One of her best songs, and gave us a fun meme moment with those old ******* watching her perform this with the angriest faces ever"
blown away: "Pop perfection. The chorus is pure heaven."
poki: "This album has no ballads because Celine stole all of them and left Kylie with all the oontz oontz stuff but joke's on her because this album slaps"
Madonnas: "Realistically speaking, this is in the top 5 songs ever, its probably still the best thing Kylie has ever done"

@creativity.

 

Comments:

allforyou: "The american version is the best one."
Ewan Chaos: "Banger."
blown away: "Love this one. The sass and the delivery make this song, along with the bouncy production. One of Whitney's best songs. A shout out to the Yvonne Turner remix as well, that one is almost as good as the album version."
poki: "Oh yeah I heard this before. Very memorable chorus."
confide in me: "The Yvonne Turner mix >>"
GreatestLoveofAll: "she was following where pop music was going and excelled at it effortlessly like only she could"

That's all, thanks everyone for participating. it was fun tbh :heart:

I think that for now we need a little break from the diva rate BUT the next rate I'm gonna host (approved my Ace) it's Britney discography, so if you want to participate in this one too, let me know and I'll tag you when I'm gonna open the thread.

The Top 5 was super refreshing tbh. Maybe we didn't do quite a bad job, Janet sabotage aside :clap3:

Was rooting for Kylie but I can't even be mad cause I gave Whitney an 11 too :deadbanana:

 

Whitney also kinda deserves the win for the fact that she laid down the vocals for this song quickly so that she could go to the mall before it closed :ahh:

Rhythm Nation 1814 and Like A Prayer definitely need to be rated together sometime tho.

 

Maybe with different competition. Some other divas. What was Prince doing around that time? :lakitu:
