I am voting Fine, again.

I think I'll go with 'Feels So Good'.

The demo of this was REALLY good, however her version is ruined by the really shrill vocal in places. I find it a bit jarring to listen to sometimes.

Unsexy Love.

Feels So Good to go this round

"Fine" is one of my favourite on the album.

After Fine, Feels So Good would be what i would like to see leave.

"The night, the night, the night is full of tears
You cry, you cry, you cry
When you feel everything's impossible"

That's just depressing. 'Fine' to go.

Feels So Good

Fine and Feels So Good are both great and I hate most of you. x (I swear I remember Fine being cited as an album highlight by people in 2014, hmm).

I have to go for Sexercise this time, it's quite cringe-worthy.

Feels so good.

I feel that taking these lyrics out of context is overlooking what the overall message of the song is... you've cut off just as the song reaches its uplifting message! Fine is essentially like a pep talk from Kylie to someone who is feeling down and hopeless - she feels confident that they will overcome the adversity that they're experiencing. It's a positive song! "Turn your face into the sun" is a nice sentiment of a brighter future.

Not to play devil's advocate, but Music's Too Sad Without You has a far more depressing subject matter overall and most of you love that one! In fact as songs go it's kind of the direct opposite to Fine. Whereas Fine has sad verses that lead to a hopeful chorus, Music's Too Sad has verses of a wistful memory that leads to a depressingly lonely chorus of "the silence is all I can listen to now, I can't sing along to the songs like I used to". So I find it a little strange to criticise Fine for being depressing while celebrating Music's Too Sad Without You, lol.

Going for 'Fine' this time

Posted by: Hide&Seek Oct 4 2018, 08:38 PM

Sexercise gets my vote. When she was offered that one, she shoulda said No from the title alone, without even listening to it. Just no.

Posted by: ___∆___ Oct 4 2018, 08:39 PM

Fine - as if it’s still left!

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Oct 4 2018, 09:41 PM

Sexercise is pure tack where other songs like feels so good are bad.

Posted by: slowdown73 Oct 4 2018, 11:05 PM

Sexercise is a dreadful song - so I voted for that!

Posted by: Calum Oct 5 2018, 01:00 AM

I'll second that. Fine and Feels So Good are definitely among the highlights of the album!

Went with Les Sex again!

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Oct 5 2018, 01:29 AM

Les Sex is a rare fave on this album but I have to say it didn't transition well live on the tour and usually the live versions can win me over with a song,it's one of the few kylie songs I prefer the studio version to the live version.

Posted by: Michael Andrew Oct 5 2018, 07:17 AM

That's just the bit that I don't like, that's why I quoted it. It just drones through these repetitive, negative lyrics. The song just feels very whiney to me.

Just my opinion, don't mean to offend.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Oct 5 2018, 10:05 AM

Have been playing the album (streaming) again this mor nine and it still isn't doing much for me but Sexercise is my next vote and I kinda wish I voted for it in this round too as it's just such a tacky song.

Posted by: liamk97 Oct 5 2018, 02:43 PM

Agreed. It's actually one song that seems to make sense in regards to where Kylie was in her life if we are to believe she was in an unhappy place and unable to fully invest in the album as a result. Fine is like you say: a pep talk to herself to dust herself off and stay positive. Reminds me of Best Friend on Madonna's MDNA album which was a similarly mishmash album; that song felt like Madonna being honest with herself and where she was in her life.

Posted by: Jay ☆ Oct 5 2018, 03:10 PM

I'm glad that somebody else is on my wavelength when it comes to this album! #jalum Whenever Sexercise bows out, assuming Les Sex is still in, that will be the next one I'll likely vote for.



I really like the interpretation that it's actually Kylie giving herself a pep talk! That makes a lot of sense actually. I'd also like to add that beyond the lyrics, I find the production itself to have quite an uplifting quality to it too.


You haven't offended, don't worry! I totally respect your opinion. I just feel quite differently to you about Fine, i.e. I feel that it's meant to be an uplifting and positive message at its core, in the sense of seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Like, there has to be some darkness to the song to be able to convey that message effectively, which I believe it does.

That was just my take on it though, so I thought I'd share. Counteracting your opinion wasn't meant to suggest that I was offended by your take on it though - sorry if there's crossed wires there.

I honestly don't mind people sharing their criticisms of Kiss Me Once tracks. I'm just joking when I write things like "I hate most of you x"! The last thing I'd want is for a music discussion to come across as personal or offensive. Obviously we all share the same passion (music and Kylie!) and we're all bound to feel differently sometimes about certain aspects of her career. I think it's great to have in-depth discussions about her music, discussions that don't necessarily see all of us being on the same page.

Voted Feels So Good, as I can’t even remember how it went!

Posted by: pippa Oct 5 2018, 04:26 PM

This round is now closed and Feels So Good is eliminated.
