Posted June 1, 201510 yr We've reached the final of the Madonna vs. Kylie survivor, although it would seem we already have a winner - Kylie. It's a bit odd to be presenting a Kylie vs. Kylie match-off in the Madonna AF but please do post what the votes would like if you had your way. I know Vibe will be pretty pissed that there's no Madonna left in this game so I've started the eagerly awaited Rebel Heart survivor game. :P 03th: Borderline (Madonna) 04th: Holiday (Madonna) 05th: Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi (Kylie) 06th: Lucky Star (Madonna) 07th: Turn It Into Love (Kylie) 08th: Burning Up (Madonna) 09th: It's No Secret (Kylie) 10th: Everybody (Madonna) 11th: Physical Attraction (Madonna) 12th: The Loco-motion (Kylie) 13th: Love at First Sight (Kylie) 14th: Think of Me (Madonna) 15th: Look My Way (Kylie) 16th: I'll Still Be Loving You (Kylie) 17th: I Know It (Madonna) 18th: I Miss You (Kylie)
June 1, 201510 yr It's got to be, Got To Be Certain. Pure 80's pure pop JOY. Lucky is of course amazing, but Got To Be Certain just feels that little bit more care free and fun.
June 1, 201510 yr Author My vote to win goes to 'I Should Be So Lucky'. The verses really gear up the song for me and the song as a whole is 3 and a half minutes of 80s pop fun. As for what my results would look like, I'd boost 'I Know It' and 'The Locomotion' up to the Top 10 and 'Burning Up' and 'Turn It Into Love' into the Top 5, but tbh that's not a bad set of results anyway. Neither are either acts' best but Kylie holds some nice pop moments and Madonna is a strong enough start for her career.
June 1, 201510 yr Got To Be Certain It's not what I would have chosen as the winner from everything here, but it's one of the early Kylie singles I have a big soft spot for.
June 1, 201510 yr Got To Be Certain What an absolute JOY the next survivor will be; two albums full of ABSOLUTELY DEPLORABLE SHITE.
June 1, 201510 yr Like A Virgin is largely GREAT!! It's just the Kylie ''effort'' that might as well be forgotten.
June 3, 201510 yr Like A Virgin is largely GREAT!! It is absolutely DIRE. Forgettable and filler 80s pop music with tiny beats & production and childish, stupid lyrics.
June 3, 201510 yr Well, I will grant that the production is definitely on the tinnier end of the 80's (it really does need a remaster) but forgettable is entirely a matter of personal opinion. I think the majority is very strong pop, yeah it's not up to much lyrically but early Madonna (pre- True Blue) was pretty much all lyrically hollow, it doesn't mean it can't still be great. Over and Over, Stay, Pretender, Love Don't Live Here Anymore and of course all the singles are brilliant. The only weak link really is Shoo-Be-Doo, which is the only true lyrical turkey on the album.
June 8, 201510 yr Author Been a close round all week, but, with a winning margin of 2 votes, 'I Should Be So Lucky' takes the win! 10 votes for 'Lucky'; 8 for 'Certain'. That was my winner from the start so I'm very happy it won. Would have preferred 'Holiday' or 'Borderline' in the Top 2 - 'Got to Be Certain' isn't Top 5-worthy for me.
