I Love New York - 2024 opinion poll

[Jark]

almost twenty years on, is this ONCE DERIDED album cut from Confessions considered any more favourably?



personally I love it and always have - great hook, massive production, insane lyrics. it's just SO FUN! almost a Madonna classique.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Always liked it and still do.

 

[K.C.]

Worst track from the album and the only track lower than an 8/10.

don't LIE!

 

[Iguana]

It makes me feel like a DORK.

 

[Suedehead]

It’s fabulous of course

 

[Jark]

lyrically I think DORKDONNA peaked with this one. the Texas golf jibe and of course the tour adlibs...

JUST GO TO TEXAS
AND YOU CAN SUCK GEORGE BUSH'S DICK!!!

 

[Sheena]

Which VERSION?

 

[Sheena]

Anyway, it’s NOT MUCH COP, but as an album track I can live with it.

 

[Suedehead]

The I Wanna Be Your Dog “homage” ( ) is what makes it really

 

[Suedehead]

(And totally transformative from the rather terrible demo version)

 

[Christian]

The worst thing on the album BY a MILE

There's nothing wrong with Push, so I don't know why that's being dragged into this conversation

 

[K.C.]

Push is amazing.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I opened this thread thinking it was about the VH1/Big Brother star

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

In all seriousness though, this song is actually nicer than I remember, the hook is splendid too. But I agree with the sentiment there were better tracks on the album.

 

[Jark]

I would say it's miles better than: Push, Like it or Not, possibly Isaac too. that last third of confessions really falls off hard. no fun at all!

 

[Suedehead]

Isaac LION and Push are all fabulous
And they’re all better than ILNY

[Suedehead]

You know what the real underrated banger from Confessions is?

How HIGH

 

[Christian]

Push, Like It Or Not, Isaac and How High all have something interesting to say. I Love New York does not.

So the worst song on the album then!

 

[Suedehead]

Yeah but 'worst' is relative I mean it's a masterpiece of an album, so whatever.

 

[Suedehead]

NOW
I can tell you
About Success
About
FAME
About the RISE and Fall
Of all the STARS
in the Sky
Don't it make you
SMILE

 

[Christian]

Now that is a great song.

 

[Jark]

Push, Like It Or Not, Isaac and How High all have something interesting to say. I Love New York does not.

I'm not sure How High really has anything to say! as a rumination on fame it's incredibly nothingy and doesn't reveal anything at all really.

that's my problem with all of the songs on the album that aim for deep. Ray of Light, or even Music, it ain't. there's nothing being said. it's just a throwback dance album! don't give message!

 

[Jark]

Now that is a great song.

yes. but it doesn't say anything she even says now I can tell you about success, about fame, and then... doesn't.

 

[K.C.]

LIWB easily one of the bests on the album.

 

[Suedehead]

The message is to just
Let it
Will
Be

(yeah)
