Better debut: Sade's "Diamond Life", or Jill Scott " Who is Jill Scott words and sounds vol 1

Since everybody doing a vs, thread thought I'll jump on the band wagon. Who had the better debut Sade or Jill I absolutely love both these albums, but I lean more towards Sade's debut because there's not a bad track on the album where as Jill's plays a little to long imo. So which do you prefer?

Both great debuts, but Jill by a mile

I would have to go with Sade on this one. Tracks like "Your Love Is King" are very, very rare to come by, that the essential "Smooth Operator," as well.

i'm all for jill, but i consider sade's first album to be a classic. maybe 10 or 20 years from now, i'll think of jill's album the same way. but i don't as of now.

too hard...since diamond life isn't my fave sade album, i have to go with jilly.

if this were jill's sophomore effort vs. sade's promise...

SADE ALL THE WAY!

Diamond Life....

Love Jill's too....

But Diamond Life.....

Sade in every way.

I love Jill Scott! But with songs like "Frankie's First Affair", "Your Love is King", "Smooth Operator" and "Hang on to Your Love", I am going to have to go with Sade's Diamond Life. That's a CD I still listen to often. I hardly ever play Jill's first one anymore (still love it though!).

i'm really not a huge Sade fan.

and I don't like Jill on record...I like her live


but I'mma go with Jill
