International Lover VS Scandalous

Which song is more seductive...

From the moment u hear the 'bing bong' at the start of scandalous U know Ur in 4 a treat.
No matter what Ur doing when that song comes on U get sucked in2 the flowing melody and perfect high notes with the tiniest of crackle and strain in Prince's voice. Abosolutely singing perfection.
U realise this is a man who wants 2 fuck...now!
"anything's acceptable just ask me and i'll try it, 2 hell with hesitations..."
This is a man who has tried doggy style,3somes and 6somes and 69's and now wants 2 do something V-nasty, wants 2 sacrifice himself 2 pure lust, wants 2 be scandalous.
Like in 'insatiable' Prince in Scandalous has a real reason 2 scribble slave on his cheeek but this time it's scribbled on his butt cheek and this time he's a slave 2 sex...MMmmm love that word-so sharp...sex!

International Lover in terms of imagery, suggestion and down right raw nastiness and voice acrobatics is in a class of it's own.
It's one of those songs U know only Prince could get away with...he fucking blows Ur mind on this one-it's mental masturbation!!
The song starts with Prince being the perfect gentleman "may i have this dance" by the end he's screaming like he's in agony and only sex can cure him-u don't hear passion like that again until the end of 'The Beautiful Ones'

Shit, damn, muthfucka this is a hard one...


o.k o.k I have 2 go with International Lover on this one.
In I.L Prince is the symbolic pilot/aircraft/gigilo/gentleman all in one that perfectly suduces until the final destination..satisfaction
Scandalous is good but it lacks the raw edge of I.L-maybe back in the 1999/pre-purple Rain dayz he had more 2 prove-was more insatiable...

Tough choice.

...i'll go with International Lover.

Scandalous is probably the more seductive of the two songs...but like u said, it lacks the edge and passion of IL.

love is god, god is love, girls and boys love god above

yeah-I know what u mean..but then again Scandalous does have that addictive crying bit at the end-reminds me of when Appolonia went in2 Prince's room in the movie and he says 2 her "she's cryin', it's backwards..." no doubt-Prince has a whole different perspective on sex

The crying bit's kinda funny.

...baby...ba-by...baaaby.

I like Scandalous, particularly the Sex Suite, but... International Lover wins because it has more edge to it. It somehow seems more sincere, the vocal performance more passionate.

International Lover scores 10 out of 10 on the cheese-o-meter! It's the cheesy talking in the middle of the song that does it. Same can be said for I hate U. Completely ruins a great song!

Kind of like your post on this thread, eh?

International Lover without a doubt, it´s one of my favourite Prince songs ever, great and very sexy song! Scandalous is an average song IMO, neither the words, nor his singing is sexy or seductive to me (though I like the Sex Suite)

Martina, now orgs official resident fairy/pixie
Your name...it means Warrior. So, you are the "warrior fairy!"

I gotta say, Scandalous. I've just got an old tape out and listened to the Scandalous Sex suite funnily enough. The voice has passion and even does the Guitar at the end. Pure passion throughout the record.

that is the genius of Prince, Scandalous, International Lover and even I Hate U all scream of the power and emotion which singers don't show anymore. A sad state of affairs!

International Lover.


but if we can count the Scandalous Sex Suite, i'll go with that.

Scandalous is my choice...Good God
International Lovermakes me laugh more then melt

hands down, buns up, it's International Lover. I feel like I have been FUCKED after listening to that song. I didn't even realize that the lyrics were cheesy. He had me hooked at 'My plane's parked right outside'. This will always be in my top 10.

International Lover. Scandalous seemed to have begged too much. IL had confidence.
