My blood sugar spiked just thinking of these 2 songs but I'd go with Friend Lover Sister Mother Wife. It's saccharine-sweet but not unbearably so. Both songs are right next to the line for me but TMBGITW just crosses it.

The Most Beautiful Girl In The World

The Gold Experience version of "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World," by far.

"Saviour" > "FLSM/W"

No need to battle say I--it all just lays in the groove

Is the most beautiful girl in the world even slow?

fair question! It's sort of not really a slow jam. kind of mid-tempo. But somehow I feel that it still comes off as a ballad.

No, not really. Neither of these songs are what I would put in the slow jam category. For that I would point to Do Me Baby, Scandalous, The Beautiful Ones, Insatiable and the like.

TMBGITW

It may be mainstream but it has an aura.

Love both but it's the Album remix version of TMBGITW fo me.

That version has never had much love compared to the single. I always liked it, but there's something about the production of the single that gives it more mainstream appeal.

The EP/4:37 version is the ultimate version, for me. The first version I heard (single/4:07) is missing an important part of the song (i.e. the end).

Almost everything on Emancipation suffers from wretched production. FLSMW is not among the exceptions. So it’s the other one by default. (Well, and because it’s a better song.)

He was entering his acrylic production phase.

The big problem on Emancipation is the lack of live drums. That album would've had a major shine on it were it recorded as a "live" record. Listen to the livestudio cut of "Somembody's Somebody" vs the album. Night and day.
