Soto and I agree on the best, obv. Also: can't believe MAURA of all people didn't vote for the freestyle record.

Chorus of "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" is super explosive.like diarrhea
like diarrhea
I was gonna say, the chorus feels so forced. I guess the verses are alright.

If by most covered you mean David Byrne in the nineties and Lumidee in 2006 or 2006. Are there other covers besides memorials?
The Canadian mall-punk band These Kids Wear Crowns had some airplay up here with a cover a few years before her death. I won't punish anyone here by linking it.

It is one of her best-remembered hits so I know I'm in the minority here.

least offensive is probably I dunno the Gloria Estefan song I guess. the rest of these can go die in a fire
you think "Point of No Return" is offensive?

listening now, I may actually not have heard that since 1985, and... ugh this vocal style, the thin, sorta nasally keening blech. there was tons of this in the 80s, Suzie Q etc.

I like most of those songs, but "Heart and Soul" and "Don't Disturb This Groove" are epic '80s singles. It might be T'Pau by a nose.

abhor, loathe, detest that u2 song

in 1985 I think I was really into the Beatles. I liked U2 at the time but I grew out of that p quickly.

eh it's foolproof, anytime a contender gets dismissed, trashed, or even just questioned in a poll thread it always helps said contender out

OH MY GOD HOW COULD TEN PEOPLE LIKE THIS BIG HIT AND ONLY EIGHT PEOPLE LIKE THIS OTHER HIT, HOW COULD GOD ALLOW
i was gonna wait until i hear this system song before voting but never got around to it, so i didn't vote.

of the rest i probably would have voted for "i want your sex" which is exceptionally delightful even for this list

now if you'll excuse me, I'll be hanging a sign upon the door that says "don't disturb this groove" while giving a little bit of heart and soul

I should start a Whitney worst single poll, omitting "Love Will Save the Day."

I mean honestly, the only positive thing I can say about "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" is that it isn't one of the other singles from that album

I find it endlessly fascinating all of the different shades of terrible represented by the Whitney singles. It's a cornucopia of shit.

if the gunk is "Don't Disturb This Groove" or "Point of No Return" it's done wonders for my joints

really u guys shoulda been in the gay bar the week after Whitney's demise when, after half a dozen hits AND her Star-Spangled Banner, half the queers cheered when the jukebox malfunctioned.
