What was wrong with We Are The World? That was a charity single!
Come to think of it That's What Friends Are For was another charity single!

The only song from the 80s that I really hate is Kiss by Prince.

That's how I heard the song because I would always turn it off when it came on.

Why do you dislike it?

The way he sings it.  He screams the lyrics in parts and I never found it appealing.  Now when Tom Jones sings it however, it's fantastic.  Prince wrote a great song, he just didn't sing it great IMO

He's supposed to sing it like it's sultry and sexy, that's the way the song was, it was that.

IMHO Jeff, Tom Jones, and Art Of Noise ruined that song.

I kinda like all the screaming lol. But I don't like "Kiss", never did. It lacks musical beauty. In other words, the song is ugly. I prefer his song from 1994, "The most beautiful girl in the world". And "Diamonds and Pearls" from 1991.

Was it the way he was acting in the video?
