Erotica vs. That's The Way Love Goes

[Jark]

have we done this before? I don't know. not to pit iconic women against each other etc. but these songs are so very clearly ripe for comparison.

both hits, although Erotica made #3 and sold gold whereas TTWLG was a Hot 100 #1 and sold platinum, and Jan's stock was obviously much higher at the time.




who did it best?

 

[Loufoque]

I mean, both are icawnique and amazing, but Erotic... a is just sooooooo good.

 

[POP!]

I prefer "That's the Way Love Goes". But I don't think it is an entirely fair comparison since "Erotica" seems to be going for something entirely different and is much colder/clinical than TTWLG.

 

[Loufoque]

The TTWLG video is very... entertaining, I'll say that much.

don't try and start your shady shit with 90s Jan or there will be trouble.

I think all ageing queens accept Janet's supremacy in "dance music" in the 90s.

[Gaga on Madonna circa 'Perfect Illusion']. 'Erotica' and 'That's The Way Love Goes' are very different. I wouldn't make that comparison at all. [/Gaga on Madonna circa 'Perfect Illusion']

TTWLG for the superior video with Tish!

That's The Way Love Goes > Erotica

But thats comparing one of Janet's best songs to a good Madonna song that isn't one of her best

 

[BoysForSeles]

Really like both but just had to go for those dirtier, grimier beats and loops from Erotica.

TTWLG for the superior video with Tish!

Jesus, what's Iguana doing to keep him so well preserved?

 

[straightorbroken]

Janet's nimble rnb thrush is devoured by whatever drugs Erotica is on. And it's still on the 10 (Erotica is in the clinic of course, legs spread and laughing).
