Adore VS. Lady In My Life

Adore is on the radio now sounding good and I had an unruly thought.

Adore VS. Lady In My Life

If we got Prince on the mic to sing Adore to the ladies and MJ uh, ...

OK. Which would you pick?

Wow...I might get a smackdown, but I'm going to have to go with Lady in my Life on this one. A few years ago, I would've said Adore.

I have to say, and I am not a M.J. fan anymore, but I LOVE "Lady in my Life"! More than Adore, but then Adore was never a favorite Prince ballad of mine anyway.

Lady In My Life is one of my least favorite MJ songs, I would go for Adore.
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire

Lady In My life.

Still sounds fresh like yesterday, whereas Adore doesn't.Prince overcooked Adore, way too overproduced, plus you needed a lyric sheet to tell what he's singing.

'Lady' is a simple, uncomplicated,love song sang extremely well.Sometimes that's all it takes.

Bit of a silly Question on a Prince board though.Even 'Arms of Orion' would win.

Ew, Arms of Orion! I guess I'm just a sucker for the more upbeat MJ songs, I love Baby Be Mine and all that stuff... I never got into Adore, I LOVE Do Me Baby Though (as well as Insatiable and Scandalous).

Lady in my life was a beautiful song by M.J. However, I can't get enough of Adore. Damn to love someone that much. WOW!

"You could burn up my clothes, smash up my ride. Well Maybe not the ride, but I got to have your face all up in the place".

Now that's some kinda of Love.

While I love the shit outta Lady in My Life, I'd go w/ Adore w/o hesitation heart Not only do I like Adore better but MJ rarely sings live anymore (if ever) so he wouldn't kill it like he might have back in the day. Plus I'd have to look @ him - who needs that? neutral

No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

Adore is more like an after-sex song. It's cool as hell! But LIML is more like a "together forever" love ballad. I luv em' both. I can't choose, sorry!

Well by the same account most people have heard "Lady In My Life" to judge whilst over at an MJ site many would never have heard "Adore." SOTT hardly registered Thriller type sales...

Sorry, folks. As much as I like "Lady In My Life," and as much as I admire that song and much of MJ's work, "Adore" is by far and away the better ballad. It is one of the greatest soul ballads of all time. Not that "LIML" isn't, but still . . .

Lady In My Life is definitely a steller song. I remember singing over and over on the way to school. Yet as with most comparasions with Prince and MJ you're still talking about apples and oranges. LIML is soulful and has great emotional power which IMHO only Man in the Mirror matched and excelled.Very similar approach to Luther Vandross' early albums.Whereas, Adore equally as soulful but with a tougue and cheek attitude that only a true player would spin. Adore is more in the vain of Sexual Healing or the Isley Bros, In Between the Sheets, even Rick James and Tina Marie's Fire and Ice...songs created with candle light and oils. Adore and LIMF are songs that burn from very different matchs. If you want to have a more fair comparasion might want to look at the Love We Make or Nothing Compares to You or even the Beautiful Ones

Lady In My Life is wonderful, but we are talking original brilliance of Adore with this simple soul song by MJ. This is a bad choice. Now Billie Jean might give Adore a run for its money.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

I dig them Both but I give Adore the edge here because I think this is the Best Prince Slow-Jam of all the ones He has done IMHO.but I think you can do more with "Lady In My Life" Because Stanley Jordan the Badd Ass Guitar Player turned that Song out."I Can't Help It" is still my Favorite MJ Slow Jam&Human Nature right there as well but I wasn't asked on those two.

They are both great songs, as both artists are very talented, but Adore along with many other Prince songs does strange things to my body, what the J5 use to do to me when I was a shorty. smile
