Kylie: The Complete Discography Rate - Part. 1 The Albums+ (RESULTS! 2nd place & WINNER!)

[P'NutButter]

I've seen this one mentioned recently...

Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi 7.47


Highest Score: 10 x 11 @WhatKindOfKylie?, @SinceYouTookYourPopAway, @Jacques, @mrdonut, @Reboot, @Cowboystyle, @VeryPSB, @AGiantSheep, @letuinmybackdoor,
@Remorque, @Gnuh Gnuh
Lowest Score: 0 x 1 @SlowGinFizzzz


​

@mrdonut - 10 A gorgeous sad banger ahead of its time (‘time-time-time’) with S/A/W dishing out some wonderfully bittersweet lyrics. I remember at the time of release, despite being a young kid, that this is when Kylie felt more than a one-trick-pony/budgie. Even my brothers who were into U2 (!) agreed.
@hawkings24 - 9 One of my favourite PWL singles by far, I was so glad she brought it back for Summer 2019.

​

@Hudweiser - 9 My favourite international single from the album.
@nanafan - 8 Classy. SAW do French, again. Kylie’s acting in the first bit of the video is iconic. “It is af past siiiix”, love it.
@Andsov - 8 Kylie - crying at the disco since 1988.

​

@CasperFan - 8 I thought this was an odd choice of single at the time but it was nice to have a more downtempo song as a single and this still sounds great today. Glad it had a long overdue live performance last year.
@Maki - 8 I was interested after seeing the French title. Definitely feels a bit more mature than the majority of the album, which is a plus. The verses are lovely, although there's something odd with the chorus that I can't explain... sounds like it lacks something. Anyways, it's a great song.
@M24 - 7 I like the verses a lot, but the chorus drags the song down: I personally expect more from it after the "I-I.. I'm wondering why" buildup!

[Reboot]

Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi is gorgeous. I don't know why, but I always feel a little happier after I've heard it.

 

[Mike]

That video intro is iconic. "If ze men is involved, do not be so sure!"

 

[Maki]

@SlowGinFizzzz the scale is actually 0 to 10, not 0 or 10 ddd

Not this becoming truer with each elimination.

 

[unnameable]

the sheer PopINjustice of Je Ne Sais Pas Puorquoi being out already!

 

[VeryPSB]

This one hurts! How did it fare in the last rate?

 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Not this becoming truer with each elimination.

Now you know what an emotional rollercoaster it is for me to be a Kylie stan! Either I love it or I hate, there really isn't much in between most of the time...

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Ouch. This sucks not at least going top 50. Such an underrated highlight of her early years, with a beautiful vocal. It was fantastic seeing it back live for the first time in 13 years last year.

 

[Holly Something]

Not a bad average but I would've expected it to last longer.

 

[Maki]

"Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi" deserved a bit better, but it could've been worse. Anyways, I'm surprised to see it leave at this point.

It's a great song, but, like @M24 said, the chorus lets it down, which prevented me from giving it a higher score than an 8.

 

[No hay banda]

Never Too Late and What Kind of Fool need to leave now.

 

[P'NutButter]

This one hurts! How did it fare in the last rate?

It reached #14 of the PWL section with an 8.19 average.

No More Rain 7.49


Highest Score: 10 x 6 @WhatKindOfKylie?, @m_dimitrov, @DJHazey,
@hawkings24, @Crisp X, @Remorque
Lowest Score: 2 x 1 @Ramalama




​

@hawkings24 - 10 What an unreal piece of music this is.
@nanafan - 9.5 Love this. What a moment on the tour with a glitter drop fall. Personal and well put together. She shouldn’t have had to fight to get this on the album.
@Hudweiser - 9 I'd have preferred this be a single than almost everything else that was.

​

@CasperFan - 9 This song really clicked for me on the X tour-really uplifting.
@Verandi - 9 Used to skip this one, now I love it. Lush!
@mrdonut - 6 Adore the sentiment, just wish I loved the song more.
@M24 - 4 Cute.. Kind of boring though.

Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi should appeal to Berserky for using some French in a cute way, and it mostly does except for the melody being a little stilted in parts - and the tune does not really lead into a satisfying phonetical conclusion for the French lyric imo. A cute girl next to gorgeous of French usage by Kylie in Gay Rights Your Disco Needs You!

 

[Mike]

No More Rain sounds like "we're going for the Ray Of Light sound but we can't afford William Orbit" which is especially strange because Kylie actually could.

 

[Ramalama]

That's the way she was treated her entire Parlo career, no?

Totally could've afforded Timbaland for whatever they were going for with Red Blooded Woman, but they just... didn't bother.

 

[hawkings24]

No sorry those two eliminations are BLASPHEMOUS, Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi should have been top 40, No More Rain is a gorgeous song and deserves so much more.

 

[Butterfly]

Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi is probably my favourite PWL song, certainly from the first album.
No More Rain is gorgeous too.

 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

A cute girl next to gorgeous of French usage by Kylie in Gay Rights Fie toi à moi!

Fixed.

 

[Maki]

"No More Rain" just does nothing to me. Nice lyrics, but there is something annoying about the song that puts me off. I gave it a 6, and it was among my lowest remaining scores.

 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

No More Rain is... cute? It's just really, really forgettable. I think the only time I've ever actively and consciously put in on and listened to it was when I was doing my scores (and right now, as I'm typing this). I don't skip it when it comes on, but it would never even occur to me to listen to this specific song.
