Now I am the first to admit I have tastes that are off the beaten path, but I cannot pass up an opportunity to comment on someone else's opinion. I've read Kelly's list and I support many of the songs listed.
For example, I love Let's Have a Kiki, PYT and September. These are classics, without argument.
On the other hand, I am not so sure about Shoop (honestly, I'm more of a "None o' Yo' Bid'ness" guy personally).
Also, Robyn, hmmmmmmm? I like her, but I feel I'll forget about her in a week.
I can't support R. Kelly, even though I can tolerate that song. His "Trapped in the Closet" Vanity Project was too much for me. If I want to watch someone masturbate, I'll go to YouPorn. Am I right?
Valerie? I am much more of a Rehab gal. (In every sense of the term)
The Boy is Mine.... I have to reserve judgement. Its a great song, I'll give you that. Just not sure its list worthy.
Gloria is too high on the list. #1? Really? #1? You crazy!
Missing from this list are any traces of Madonna (The Queen of Pop), Chicago (Hometown!), and Culture Club. I'll admit that Culture Club is a deep cut and probably not everyone's cup of tea. That's a personal weirdness and I own that. How about Queen? I mean, really, Queen? How can you not have Somebody to Love on this list? Papa Don't Preach? Hard Habit to Break (the extended version of course- love those horns.)
My biggest argument? Obviously, obviously "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" is the greatest jam of all time. Unequivocally. This is not a point to be argued. This is a fact. The sky is blue, the grass is green and Whitney has the greatest song of all time. Sorry Mozart, sorry Sinatra, sorry Bruce Springstein. Furthermore... Attention music world: Don't mess with "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" trying to remix it. Its perfect. Keep your hands off. Just grab your big fluffy bow and your rainbow eye shadow, sit back and enjoy!
This is of course just my opinion, but it's right.
