IBattle of the Small Voices: Blockbusters of the Late 80s - Like a Prayer v. Rhythm Nation 1814 v. Forever Your Girl.
The rate the world has been waiting for. You're welcome.
I am SO here for this! I was just cranking Rhythm Nation the other day.
This will be perfection. I mean, "Cold Hearted" vs. "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" vs. "Like a Prayer"? "Straight Up" vs. "Escapade" vs. "Express Yourself"? What's a boy to do?
Do you know that Heaven and Earth is her least favorite song out of her entire catalog?
She's on some other **** with that madness.
I thought her least favorite was "What Kind Of Fool (Heard It All Before)?" And isn't "Celebration" one of her favorites? I love her but she's definitely on some good ****.

What's a boy to do? Give Like a Prayer a 10 and the rest 8.5s. That's what.
You'll go as soon as the Mariah/J-Lo thread is over.
Three things:
- Who wants to host the Sensuality and Ethe-reality Abroad Rate: Sade/Dido/Enya/Kate Bush?
- 80s Girl Group Round up? Will essentially come down to a Banarama/Pointer Sisters showdown, as it should, but still - there's Vanity/Appolonia 6? KLYMAXX? Reynolds Girls? Mel & Kim? Sweet Sensastion, Expose, all those freestyle girls? JJ FAD?!??!! Can you even??
- And, inspired by the pairing of five groups in Keir's long delayed rate and supa's successful rate - the five biggest girl BANDS of the past thirty years.
The Go-Gos. The Bangles. The Dixie Chicks.
Help me out with the other two. I'm learning towards Hole and Sleater-Kinney, but they both have huge drawbacks - Hole had a MALE guitarist, and S-K, although HUGELY important, was never actually commercially successful.
For the Disney Girls rate, can I pretty please include Vulnerable by Vanessa since it's SUCH an AMAZING song!?
and DAMN, these Disney bitches have so many ****ing "promotional", "soundtrack" and random ass radio singles, it's really hard deciding what to include. I'm looking at around 100 songs!
Wait, so can you sign me up for the Battle of the Small Voices: Blockbusters of the Late 80s rate? As much as I just adore Ms. Minogue, could it just be Maddy, Janet, and Paula?
Supa's already started his. Once Shape is done, you can go!
What is his rate?
I've listened to most of the VV Brown, Nicola, Laura M., La Roux, Ellie, and Marina singles. I do have to say I'm pleasantly surprised with most of them. The UK has great music.
I won't go until April I guess lmao
