Who asked her about Private Joy?


It was in a UK magazine interview, in the 1990s.


She said she realized that Private Joy was the best song on Controversy? eek

Private Joy's good, but better than Controversy', Let's Work or Do Me, Baby?
I know everyone's got different tastes, but I can't see it myself.

I mean, Controversy itself just kills! Not only would I say it's the best track on
the album, but it's a serious contender for best Prince song period! Worth it
just for the groove alone, and that double squelchy bass note on the 7 1/2
(you know it's true!)

I second that emotion. "Controversy" was always one of my faves.

I wish Prince had been more prolific in New Wave. This song kicks ass.

Oh yes. I love that side of him.

He NAILED it with "No More Candy 4 U" though, and it even gets a touch of prog rock 2.

It's OK but it's not even close to being the best.

Here is how I rate the tracks on Controversy. 1 being the best and 8 being the worst.

1. Controversy
2. Let's Work
3. Sexuality
4. Do Me, Baby
5. Jack U Off
6. Private Joy
7.Annie Christian (If the studio version was more like the guitar heavy live punk version, I would put it at 5 and Jack U Off would be at 6)
8. Ronnie Talk To Russia


JACK U OFF IS NOT BETTER THAN PRIVATE JOY!!!

I'm sorry. Who?


falloff OK OK it's not about who Kylie is or isn't, but who the fuck asked her?
She can't be that famous if an average shmuck like myself doesn't recognize her name. Why does it matter that this song is her favorite tune? Just curious.

I'm with you on this one. Famous or not, I don't recall anyone on this site asking Kylie if Private Joy was the best song on Controversy. Do you?

You know he played Kylie's 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' at Indigo2 on 6th September, well Shelby sang it, it was supposed to be fun, and it was! Not sure if I'd worry / be interested in what she thought was the best song on Controversy though.... lol
