Never Knew Love Like This Before or Borderline Not such an odd comparison if you ask me. I always thought these two sounded similar (especially in the opening moments), and then when I bought a Stephanie Mills collection several years back I realized why; both Never Knew Love Like This Before and Borderline were written and produced by Reggie Lucas. James Mtume co-wrote and co-produced the Stephanie Mills tune.
Which do you prefer? Here's some video to aid your decision-making.

I didn't notice how they had the same kind of intro before.
That Stephanie Mills' song is one of the best ever!!!! I mean "Borderline" is great but I prefer "Never Knew Love Like This Before". | |

I like them both but I'm going to pick Never Knew Love Like This. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

You actually picked one of the few Madonna songs I kinda like. But the use of more real instruments (opposed to the synths) and Stephanie's voice make this an easy choice for me. Stephanie is more believable. I don't trust Madonna.

Borderline. One of the only times that Madonna showed some sort of innocence. Love it. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

"Borderline" is one of my favorites from Madonna, but I have to give it up to Stephanie. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Now, she'd probably slice (said with fake British accent) me.

Oh wow, well done for picking out the similarities. I never realised it before.
Gotta say I prefer Stephanie. Borderline would be up there if the album version didn't have those hideous extra lyrics. So glad they cut them out for the single/video. | |

EDIT: TBF, Madonna had the better video. [Edited 7/8/06 3:04am] | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I can get past the minor differences in instrumentation but Stephanie's voice is superior (to almost all singers, not just Madonna). | |
