I'd definitely rather this over the other one. Thanks for hosting bat1990!

Thanks for hosting! bat1990I'm so happy this won over the more obvious "Dance". I love both but INRBIO is sooo much better imo.

5. So Emotional (12): Another solid 1980s bop from Whitney! It didn't make much of an impact back home in the 1980s and thus it didn't make my personal chart --but I made it re-chart during The Greatest Hits era and it reached the top --as it should've in the 80s HOWEVER, this is not ROCK at all. I mean, a few guitar sounds in the intro and bridge, albeit really cool, doesn't make it a rock or even pop-rock song. Just saying! 4. I'm Your Baby Tonight (17): Huh? This is not top 5 material for Whitney IMO. The song is okay, and WH sounds a bit too shouty for my liking. HWIK, IHN or even ATMTIN should've been top 5 instead... 3. I Will Always Love You (2): I liked this song when I first heard it, but I didn't LOVE it. The last minute after the break was too much of a clusterfuck for me to love it. The melisma, the over the top vocals were a bit too much especially compared with Dolly's version. I still believe that Dolly made a better job at emoting here, and that's my favorite version of the song. However, with time, I've grown to love Whitney's version as well and have a better appreciation at her vocals in this song. That acapella intro is one of the most beautiful beginnings of a song, though. Overall, a classic. 2. I Wanna Dance With Somebody (1): My top 4 was hard to rank to be honest. At some point I had IHN, IWALY, and HWIK, at #1. I ended up going for I Wanna Dance, as it's my favorite dance song from her. It's a song that just makes me smile and feel good! The music is the type of 80s bop that I still like. The song brings back great childhood memories --including from watching the video. Her voice sounds great. And the melody is superb, including the last minute or so. Plus that laughter is cute :) 1. It's Not Right, But It's Okay (9): This was Whitney's last personal chart-topper. I liked the original version, but LOVED the Thunderpuss remix, which is the version I used for this RD. She sounds great, the song is a bop, that bridge is A+, and overall this is a really good one from WH. Even though it ended 'just' at #9 in my RD, I'm "Okay" with it being the upset #1 of the RD. I love it still, just as I do with all the songs in my top 10 for this RD. Thanks bat1990 for hosting!! This was awesome, and I've learned quite a bit more about WH's career, and discovered music from her. It's made me appreciate her a bit more :) She'll forever be one of the music icons and one of my best 1980s/90s musical memories!!

Pleasantly surprised to see INRBIO at #1, mainly because it’s not a song of hers you see ranked at #1 against other classics like IWALY and even IWDWS. It’s refreshing. Definitely a classic in its own right, the original and remix. Thank you bat1990 for hosting this and for all of your hard work. It was a lot of fun!
