Hello ...

Here's a little thread to get you talking. It has been very apparent during my time here on the org that one of P's most praised ballads is ADORE. I've been one to give it its credit as a great song, with his falsetto voice carrying it above the clouds and the music just sweetening the pie. It is a good song, one that is sorely missing from the most recent greatest hit packages, but it is not the best ballad, IMO, of the eighties our nineties, it has fallen to third on My list of Best Ballads. What is the best? SCANDALOUS ! ! ! WHY?

SCANDALOUS, is a more sensuous , scary, tough and heartfelt song, it is the kind of song I'd want played before, during and after sex, one I believe would have my woman in the mood, one that would have her know I'm serious about my work and would raise the expectations of the lovemaking episode. To me, ADORE is soft like sugar, it gives you a nice feeling that is easily forgotten minutes later, while SCANDALOUS is a double shot of liquor, something you have to prepare for, something that gives you a GREAT feeling that is not easily forgotten but can also be dangerous if you have too much. That's how I feel, ADORE is the angel on one side of your shoulder wanting you to do right while SCANDALOUS is that devil that wants you to go wild, lose you inhibitions and " go deeper " than you might have before, a hint of danger that gets your blood pressure up. What do you think?
