I love the first two and how dare you call *any* song on “Bad” weak! Lol I was referring to that I Just Can't Stop Loving you song...but Bad is alright I know, I was referring to the whole album. |

Working on mine and will submit tonight. It doesn't feel right to rank anything low here :(
I would love to listen to everything three more times to solidify my rankings, but that's what I get for waiting til the last minute.

Today's extra is a double feature by The Purple One from Minneapolis. The follow-up to his #1 soul hit "Sign O' The Times" peaked at #12 on the soul chart. TLC later covered it for their CrazySexyCool album.

Next, a song that features Sheena Easton. It peaked at #11 soul and #2 on the Hot 100.

What songs do you think will make the top 5? wow this is hard to guess... Looking for a New Love, Sign of the Times, Pleasure Principle, The Way You Make me Feel and one more Jackson sibling song
What songs do you think will make the bottom 5? Skeletons, System Of Survival, Diamonds, Slow Down and Love Is a House
Which MJ song will be higher? Which Janet song will be higher? MJ - definitely not the duet, I'm wishing The Way You Make Me Feel, but I have a feeling that that nostalgia will win out and Bad (taste) will prevail and Bad will be highest. JJ - Pleasure Principle
What song will have the highest SD? Lowest SD? Highest - MJ (Bad) or Roger Lowest - either Jody Watley or Luther (Stop to Love)

What songs do you think will make the top 5? Hoping it won't be a predictable all-Jackson takeover, but I do think both Control and The Pleasure Principle will both be there. Sign O' The Times and Looking For a New Love have good odds, I think. I Need Love could be a dark horse.
What songs do you think will make the bottom 5? These greasy hoes are gonna tank LeVert again, I can feel it. I don't have especially high hopes for EW&F or Melba Moore either.
Which MJ song will be higher? Which Janet song will be higher? The Way You Make Me Feel / Pleasure Principle
What song will have the highest SD? Lowest SD? Highest - I Just Can't Stop Loving You or Fake. Lowest - something in the bottom 5

I like falsettos as flourishes, but generally the more they're used throughout a song continuously, the bigger the chance of me not liking it.
