Go!


mine:

favorite: If I was Ur Girlfriend.
I love this song cause there's no ballad ever that has ever come close to it. It's weird, quirky, perverse, and sincere all in one bundle.


Least favorite: Call My Name
It's constructed perfectly , I'm sure. But it just irks me. I can't even listen to it for more than 10 or 15 seconds. It almost sounds like Prince-by-numbers.

Favorite: When 2 R in Love
It's sweet, charming, sexy, and lovely and has wonderful harmony.

Least: Friend/Lover/Mother/Piece of Shit
It's vile.

i like it

Favourite - SCANDALOUS!

It's has all the key elements of a LOve song! Smooth, sexy, erotic, sensual, innocent, suggestive, emotional - it's just beautiful! The orchestration, the pace, Princes vocals and the range he uses - I Love it!!!!

I'm finding it hard to think of one I seriously don't like so may have to re-visit,

but Twiki's definitely right with Friend/lover/sister/mother/fucker!!!

It is definitely a forced piece of insincere vomit inducing tripe!!!

I can only imagine he pissed Mayte off and he wrote it like some forced apology!!! Bleugh!!!

I like Friend/Lover/Sister/LarryGraham of my life !!!!!


Lawd, you guys are wrong.

Sorry. (To be fair, I hate Let's Have a Baby almost as much. Pretty much all the ballads from Emancipation I hate, except for Dreamin' About U, Curious Child, and Soul Sanctuary.)

I should of have guessed it was written for him!!!!! It all makes sense now!!!

Twiki said:

Yeah! I'm a lover of his ballads and slow stuff - it was the subject of my very first thread - but Emancipation is the worst for them, except I can't make you love me, Betcha by golly wow, and La,la,la means I love you.....


but he didn't write those!

It could be the reason the marriage didn't work out. If I were Mayte, I would've been pissed. "You mean to tell me Susannah got Adore, If I Was Your Girlfriend, Forever in My Life, and Crucial, and I get this crap? Hit the road, creep!"

Twiki said:

Oh that's so harsh, but so true!!!

Adore for me is the best.

Somewhere Here On Earth was pretty poor wasn't it?

favorite - The Beautiful Ones
Fit so perfectly on the album, unlike any of his ballads before or since in my mind, plus I'm a sucker for the Linn drum. Screaming included, and it's sincere and not forced (see "The Dance" album version...it's just not faayah!)

least favorite - Graffiti Bridge
I know what the idea here was...a song written and performed in the style of old-school musicals...but oh. my. goodness. I just found it so completely contrived and sappy, so serious about itself, and a retread of songwriting (Free, Purple Rain, The Ladder). I just cannot stand it. Everybody else must be looking for Graffiti Bridge cuz I'm just looking for the skip button.
