How can you just leave Expose standing? In world alone that's so cold? --------------------------------------------------------------------- And Prince shows up again, maybe a different outcome this time? Prince - Purple Rain"Purple Rain" is a power ballad by Prince and the The Revolution. It was his third US single (second UK) and title track from the legendary 1984 album of the same name, which in turn was the soundtrack album for the 1984 film of the same name. The song is an emotional combination of rock and roll, pop and gospel music. It reached #2 in the U.S., and is often considered Prince's signature song. The song was recorded live at the Minneapolis club First Avenue in 1983. The performance was the live debut of Wendy Melvoin, and also netted the final three songs of the Purple Rain album, although the songs would undergo studio overdubs later. "Purple Rain"'s original lyrics contained an extra verse about money that was edited out, as it diluted the emotional impact of the song. Vs. Paula Abdul - Straight UpThe song itself became so popular that it ascended to the Hot 100 top 20 before a music video had even been shot for the song. The video, directed by David Fincher and choreographed by Paula herself, won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video. The video features a special appearance by Paula's friend, talk-show host and comedian Arsenio Hall. The video at the time went into very heavy rotation on MTV, it also made Abdul known for her exceptionally creative and distinct videos. It was shot in black and white in Los Angeles, California.

Prince takes another, knocking Paula out into the rain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INXS - Devil Inside"Devil Inside" is a song by Australian band INXS. The song was written by Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence and is one of INXS's most well known songs. The song was released as a single in February 1988. The song is well remembered for its catchy riff and Michael Hutchence's whisper of the lyrics. The song went to #2 on the Billboard 100 in the United States, #47 in the United Kingdom, #20 in France, #25 in Ireland and #6 in Australia. Vs. Modern English - Melt With You"I Melt with You" is a song by the British post-punk/New Wave band Modern English. The song, produced by Hugh Jones, was a single from the 1982 album After the Snow. While never reaching the Top 40 (its highest position was #76, which it reached with a July 1990 rerelease), the song gained popularity due to its airplay on MTV in early 1983 and its inclusion in the movie Valley Girl. The band re-recorded it in 1990 for their album Pillow Lips.

Modern English defeats INXS. I'm really surprised it was a sweep. ------------------------------------------------------ Phil Collins - In The Air TonightThe recording is notable for its atmospheric production, while the song features a macabre theme and is the subject of a persistent urban legend. Released in January 1981 in the UK, the single was an instant hit, with an impressive chart climb of 36-4-3-2. It stalled behind John Lennon's posthumous number one "Woman", while its parent album, Face Value, ranked as the UK's third best-selling LP of 1981. It was also an international hit, reaching the top 20 on the Billboard magazine pop singles chart in the summer of 1981 and remains, alone among Collins's solo oeuvre, a popular selection on many classic rock radio stations. It is the song most often associated with Collins' solo career, and he has performed versions of it at many events, notably at Live Aid, where he played the song on the same calendar day in both Philadelphia and London[1]. He also performed the song at The Secret Policeman's Other Ball. The lyrics of the song take the form of a dark monologue directed towards an unnamed, possibly prominent person; the singer describes having witnessed an unspecified act perpetrated: I was there and I saw what you did saw it with my own two eyes and anticipating an equally unspecified consequence: I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment for all my life Vs. Madonna - Live To TellWritten and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, this was also the fourth Madonna single within two years which was affiliated with a motion picture soundtrack, and the first commercially available collaboration with Leonard, who would go on to become one of Madonna's most consistent and critically acclaimed collaborators. "Live to Tell" was the title song of the film At Close Range, starring Madonna's then-husband Sean Penn. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of June 7, 1986, and reached number two on the UK singles chart (being blocked by Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus"). There was no soundtrack for the film At Close Range and was included only on Madonna's 1986 studio album and then later on Madonna's compilations The Immaculate Collection and Something to Remember. In 2006, Madonna was the subject of controversy,[1] as she performed "Live to Tell" on her Confessions Tour hanging on a giant mirrored cross while wearing a crown of thorns. The performance was intended to detail the AIDS Pandemic in Africa, the number 12,000,000 which flashed above her during the performance, corresponds to the estimated number of African children who have been orphaned by the disease; furthermore, throughout the song, images of black (presumably African) children appeared on the stage's backdrop screens.
