Man, I really need to catch up on this thread. Been dealing with some shit. For now, let me just say I'm disgusted by what happened to Extreme...
I just heard Smile for the first time. I think it's kinda bad. The verse melody is awful. Sounds like a janky version of the This Is How We Do...
Lucky Star, Borderline (especially Borderline), Holiday, and Burning Up are all proper highlights.

Causing A Commotion is better than Gambler, but I still see it as one of those cute not-classics that some fans really love.

Push can go though. Parts of it are really pretty, but the verses sound awful. Madonna doesn't pull off that rapping-esque kind of style. It's...
I have so much to catch up on. Heartbreak City works mostly because of the chorus. It's dramatic, climatic, and even a little euphoric despite...
Ciao Bella should have been out before Bitch, I'm Loca. It bores me something fierce and is such a chore whereas Bitch, I'm Loca, while slightly...
