Heaven Is a Rate on Earth. The Belinda Carlisle Rate. Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?

​

 

Spoiler: Rules

Welcome to the Belinda Carlisle (almost) discography rate!

We will be rating all of Belegenda's English-language albums along with some extras (B-sides, soundtrack/compilation entries, reissue bonus tracks, non-album singles). You probably know the routine by now, but here are the rules:

• Rate everything from 0 to 10, one 11, you know the drill. PM your votes to me, @VivaForever, the Queen of the Internet.
  
• I don't expect this to be a problem in this rate, but don't troll and make me throw out your votes.
• Commentary is, of course, welcomed.
  
• When multiple versions of a song exist (e.g., album mix vs. single mix vs. remix), rate the version you know best.
• Giving Heaven Is a Place on Earth lower than a 10 is homophobia and will be reported to the authorities.

The Fan Demanded Deadline is Friday, April 12 at 11:59pm EST.

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

Oh dear lemme see if Runaway Horses snags a 10 average from me.

 

It had better.

 

Oh my God fuck YES will I be playing. She has so many 10s it's unreal. I've been caning Real lately.

 

Just give everything on Live Your Life Be Free a 10 from me and we'll start from there…..

 

You know I'm doing this.

 

Bubbly's on ice till I see your scores.

 

Where's Voila? I've never heard it, am told it's terrible.

 

I am not entirely sure if I will be doing this. Can't say I was swept with her in the 1989 rate; that honour went to Taylor Dane. Let me do some pre-listening.

 

Notable by its absence, because yes, it's terrible. (See also Wilder Shores.) I stuck I Still Love Him (the English version of Pourtant tu m'aimes, and ironically the album's only single) in the extras.

 

@VivaForever my darling, I wanted to participate and support but there are a few too many discoveries for me to handle along with the other rates & song contests I am doing - sorry! I'll come along and give you likes though, promise!
