Yes, I love me some Kylie. So this won't be a hate thread or whatever. Just sharing my top 10 songs of miss Minogue that I don't enjoy. Feel free to comment as I'm curious to see if you guys (dis)agree.
#any predictions?
New York City
Celebration
Where is The Feeling
I Was Gonna Cancel
Better Than Today
These are 5 of my predictions.
Is it limited to singles, or encompassing her entire discography (album tracks, B-sides, rarities)?
You got at least 1 (or more) right Pippa! And it's about her entire discography Tawdry
With such a wide catalogue it is a hard precition.
In addition to the songs i selected below i will add Sexercise and nu-di-ty to the list.
On a separate note, you picked a terrible picture of Kylie for your post
#10 I was gonna cancel
The 'Kiss me once' era started quite ok with it's lead single. Then they decided to go with this one as a follow up. Why tell me why? For me there are two things that bother me about 'I was gonna cancel'. First, it's so inoffensive that it hurts. And second..Pharrel wrote and produced this??
Your thoughts?
I know! But you are off to a good start with your predictions Pippa. With 'terrible' songs come non flattering pictures All out of love for miss Minogue though
Seeing I Was Gonna Cancel in such a countdown is never a surprise.
This along with many songs from Kiss Me Once could fill your style of Top 10 easily.
I also like ‘I Was Gonna Cancel’. The video however....
I was gonna cancel is def at home here in this list.
Thanks for the comments this far. Interesting to see the mixed reaction to 'I was gonna cancel'. For me the biggest 'crime' is the fact that it's bland and forgettable (same goes for the video btw). Plus the fact that Pharrell was involved. It could've been so much more!
Let's make way for #9.
#9 Nu-di-ty
I actually enjoyed 'X' when it was released. Nowadays I do less. Why? There are songs that I still love like 'The one'. And there are some songs that aged badly in my opinion. With 'Nu-di-ty' being the perfect example. It just sounds like a cheap Britney demo with some repetitive lyrics. Fun fact, 'Cosmic' (of the same album) was also up for elimination. This one pulled through because of that 'elephant trumpeting' sound..
Your thoughts?
IWGC and 2 hearts are 2 songs I think would be much more liked by fans as songs if they weren't singles and it's the same for better than today.
I would definitely say all three of those songs should never have seen the light of day as singles.
I think alot feel the same way and I would say the same for where is the feeling. I love better than today but can understand it been a bad choice of single.
The songs revealed so far are rightly at home on the list.
Choosing the wrong songs as singles really changes the perception of a song.
Some songs are not suited to be singles and i think the songs mentioned fall into the category.
Better Than Today and 2 Hearts are 2 examples of songs that would be in much higher regard had they remained album tracks only.
I Was Gonna Cancel, i did not like it before it was ever announced as a single.
When the announcement came i thought it was a bad joke at first, and unfortunately, it wasnt.
#8 Slow (The Abbey Road sessions)
This stripped down version takes away all the sexyness of the original version for me. Keep the record playing? No thanks! Everytime I hear this one I just want to speed it up as it's too slow for my taste. I even enjoyed the 'rocky' version of 'Slow' at the Golden tour so much more.
Your thoughts?
Ya it's not a great version but I could say that for most of the songs reworked on abbey roads.
The essence of Slow is lost in this version.
She has since gone on to have some other great live versions of the song.
The chorus is sublime so it makes for the slowness of ... Slow.
I dont like the abbey road version but I didnt like the Glastonbury version either.
Thanks for your reactions this far Time to reveal the next song!
#7 Tell-tale signs
Kylie and her ballads are always been a hit or miss for me. This one is a good example of a miss. The music is too dramatic and the lyrics are cliché. I get it from a time perspective. It just didn't age well and I always want to skip this song when I play the 'Enjoy yourself' album. And I really don't mind me some Kylie cheese. Just not this kind of cheese.
Your thoughts?
That picture brings back some great memories of Neighbours in its hey day, i absolutely adored the show back then. I like tell take signs but its nothing special.
I really don’t like speakerphone, nu-di-ty or sexercize. I find the songs let’s get to it and low blow aren’t great tracks.
Sexercize is a BOP
I don't like sexercise at all and speakerphone is just about ok.
Sexercize is ok! Bar 'I was gonna cancel' and 'Beautiful' I actually don't mind the 'Kiss me once' album.
The festive #6 is on it's way!
#6 Have yourself a merry little Christmas
I get why she released an Christmas album. That doesn't mean I like it. Some songs on the album are nice, some are uninspiring or annoying. Just my little opinion. Maybe it could have worked if 'Kylie Christmas' had a campy 'Light years meets Christmas' feel to it. This song is my least favorite of the bunch. It sounds outdated and I like my Kylie fresh (or cheesy/campy).
Your thoughts?
It's not to see Christmas songs here,they served there needs as they do for most Christmas albums.
I agree. At the same time I'm not loving 'Kylie Christmas'.
Chart this far
10. I was gonna cancel
09. Nu-di-ty
08. Slow (Abby Roads session)
07. Tell-tale signs
06. Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Top 5 announced soon! Hope you will still like me after the full chart is announced
Yeah, that's dire. A few of the tracks on Kylie Christmas are actual torture.
I Was Gonna Cancel was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad
At most it should have bern an album track only or b side to a single.
Tell Tale Signs is the best song on the list to date.
All the others are not what i listen to from Kylie.
There is no shock so far but in sure there is at least one in there somewhere.
Are you hoping to see Confide In Me on this list Feel The Fever.
Lol, that one is far from this list 😉
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is bland but not the worst on Kylie Christmas.
#5 Bittersweet goodbye
It's time to go deeper and see what made top 5. First we have this 'Light years' album track. Like I said before, Kyle's ballads are a hit or miss for me. This one is a big miss for me. I love the campy/disco vibe of the album. I can even enjoy 'Your disco needs you' now (wich would have made this list 10 years ago). Then this one pops up..let's say it destroys my joyfull mood AND tooth enamel everytime I listen to it...
Your thoughts?
Stay Another Day, and Winter Wonderland.
Not great either indeed.
#4 coming soon! Brace yourselfs 😇
I don't agree on this choice, its an underrated song like many of Kylies ballads.
Is this an indication that Fargile from Fever could also make this list.
Both are sweet songs, not the best on either album but not the worst.
Noooooo no for this, I love the song and is one of my faves on light years which says alot as I love the light years album.
I can't even listen to 'Bittersweet Goodbye' in full, it makes my toes curl.
For me it's just a lovely easy to listen to song especially on light years as some real upbeat numbers surround it.
Bittersweet Goodbye is like a little break from all the up-tempo numbers on the glorious Light Years album, this is what makes the song stand out.
I am going try this with the preference revealer.
I would understand the song coming low Top 10 on many peoples preferences but not the very bottom.
Using the preference revealer for Light Years my results are:
Disco Down
Under The Influence of Love
Your Disco Needs You
Bittersweet Goodbye
Butterfly
Light Years
On A Night Like This
Spinning Around
So Now Goodbye
Kids (Ft Robbie Williams)
Please Stay
I'm So High
Loveboat
Koocachoo
Password
Glad you guys don't always agree with my picks. I just don't enjoy 'Bittersweet goodbye', even as a break on the album. It's just too sugary and whimpering in my opinion.
Now it's really time to get to the next song. It should be here in a minute or 10 😇
#4 Better then today
Another 'why did they release this as a single?' situation. There where much better options left on the album. And Nerina Pallot was involved? I had higher expectations to be honest. I find this song basic and even 'childish' at moments. Like a tune that your five year old nephew would enjoy.
Your thoughts?
Better than today shouldn't be here either I love the song.
I love put your hands up and would have preferred it as a single to get outta my way andcsane with cupid boy.
Better Than Today gets much hate that can be understandable.
The hate only comes as it was a single, i call it relative hate.
As an album track it would be a popular song.
Ya as an album track it would be liked way more.but kylie has far far worse songs than it to end up number 4 here.
Better Than Today is not one of Kylie's best singles but it remains a good song.
There are many other songs down through the years and also from later years worse than IT.
Thanks for your replies! And this is not a hate chart btw, just some Kylie songs that I don't enjoy (for certain reasons) 😉
Work was a bit hectic so this countdown will continue asap!
I look forward to further results.
#3 Especially for you
Maybe I should hide now..? Still, I just don't like this song. She did this as an encore at her Golden tour in Amsterdam. So much better options to choose from in my opinion. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with this song but it's so chringy and cheesy. I never liked it and never will I'm afraid.
Your thoughts?
I def wouldnt have this here, loved it when released as kylie and jason fever was at an all time high but over 30 years later i still enjoy it.
Actually like this one and will always have that nostalgia feeling towards it and like it or not this was Kylie's biggest selling UK single up until 'CGYOOMH' came along and this will always be a Kylie classic and yes its cheesy and corny as hell, but I LOVE IT and don't care who knows it..
It really is a classic among all her singles and as you mentioned is 1 of her 2 actual million sellers. I really loved her duet with Kermit the frog of the song on an audience with.
I can't stomach 'Especially For You' really, although I know that's quite an unpopular opinion.
I have been known to use it as my toilet break song at her concerts. But I did strangely kinda enjoy the moment on Golden.
I much prefer especially for you when its done with a proper duet partner and I say the same for kids.
When will we be informed of the final 2?
Thanks for the comments!
Asap Pipa Crazy days atm
I look forward to what most likely will be a surprising Top 2.
#2 I feel for you
Why I don't like it? Let's see.. The way she uses her voice in this song. The childish lyrics. The cheap production. The high pitched part where she sings 'I feel for you'. The very repetitive nature of it (in a bad way). I could go on and on, and on and on...
Your thoughts?
Not a fan of this either so i can understand why its here so high.
My prediction of Number 1 is The Loco Motion.
I thoroughly enjoy the song but i am aware many fans do not like it anymore.
I hope your prediction is wrong.
That and 'Someday' from Body Language are both the two really abysmal tracks on that album for me.
I dont mind someday as much but it's still a skip song, but I dont re visit body language much apart from chocolate and slow.
Body Language is an album i must give some time to again.
It is one of Kylie's albums i listen to the least but there are some enjoyable parts.
I agree about Someday and thanks for the comments!
#1 coming soon....
(No locomotion but it will be a classic 😲😇)
I look forward to the reveal.
Is it a single or album track that is number 1?
Some hints ahead of the reveal are welcome as it will allow us to predict what it might be.
A single 😲😇
All I can say...it's all about the 90's!
Will it be 'Tears On My Pillow'
Could it be Celebration?
If it is Confide In Me (which i don't think it will be) Feel The Fever will dance.
The large majority would not agree with it is as fair if Confide In Me was number 1
Confide In Me is neither a love or hate song in her collection, i prefer many others and dislike many others before and after it.
As I've said before while I dont like confide in me I appreciate its roll in ger career and also see why some love it.
All will be revealed v. soon 😇🤩
Anymore hints?
Hints
-90's baby
-Why are you copying me?
-#20
And it might be a surprise, it might be not 😇
I'm thinking celebration as that peaked at number 20 and it's a cover version i.e copy.
#1 Tears on my pillow
Finally, the #1 in my countdown is announced! Why the hints? It was released in 1990, a cover and reached #20 here in the Netherlands. What can I say? This song just annoys me A LOT. Maybe I was born too late to appreciate some of her older stuff (see #3 in this countdown). It being an uninspiring cover, her vocals and the all around 'ballad cheese' vibe are the things that made this song my least favorite Kylie jam. Sorry not sorry!
Your thoughts?
It is Kylies weakest number 1, she has so many more songs deserving of number 1 than it but its far far from the worst song she has recorded.
It's by far my least favourite Kylie song ever, it's just a total abortion.
Half the tracks alone on Kiss Me Once are far worse, many of the songs on her Christmas album are also worse. I dont love or hate Tears on my pillow but i would have it above a few of her other singles and not just album tracks either,i would prefer tears on my pillow to finer feelings, confide in me, celebration, where is the feeling, i was gonna cancel and get outta my way and possibly a few others aswell.
Kylie has delivered much worse songs than Tears on My Pillow in her 30 years of music.
That said, it remains disappointing it is one of her 7 Number 1 singles when at least 50% of her other singles were more deserving of the accolade.
Lets remember, without Tears on My Pillow, Kylie would not have achieved the feat of being one of the very few people to have Number 1 singles in 3 different decades.
YES CALLED IT..
Thanks for the comments 🙏
What would be your #1?
My least favorite Kylie jams
10. I was gonna cancel
09. Nu-di-ty
08. Slow (Abby Roads session)
07. Tell-tale signs
06. Have yourself a merry little Christmas
05. Bittersweet goodbye
04. Better then today
03. Especially for you
02. I feel for you
01. Tears on my pillow
Only 'I Was Gonna Cancel' would be among my least favourite Kylie songs from that list.
'Chiggy Wiggy', 'Monkey Man' and 'Absolutely Anything and Anything at All' are really dire. 'Sexy Love' has always annoyed me to the point where I can't listen to it. Don't think there's really any others, obviously there's songs I wouldn't listen to or could say I particularly liked but there's nothing else that I could say warranted a place on a worst Kylie songs list.
