I really like ABC but When Smokey Sings was probably their biggest hit and I didn't like it THEN and I dont like it NOW.
The funny thing is I catch myself singing it sometimes and my daughter is always like :I thought you hated that song!"

I like "Vogue" alright, but I really can't stand the other hit she had off that album, "Hanky Panky". God, does that song suck.

I think those were hits based solely on her star power at the time and not the substance of the songs themselves. In 1990 she was at the height of her worldwide popularity and probably would have had a hit singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". As to why she chose to release them at all...that one's beyond me. She usually has a pretty keen eye for cutting edge production. The I'm Breathless album was an exampe of that failing her big time. Maybe she was too busy working on **** Tracy and running around with the likes of Warren Beatty and Vanilla Ice.

I dont know that those SONGS were hits...I think the album itself was a hit cuz people were buying it to get Vogue. Nowadays had that album came out people would have downloaded Vogue and NOT bought the album!
I think based on the "old-timeyness" of **** TRACY she was trying to tip her hat in what type of music she did ....which.....I dont know how to put this into words. Maybe it was ahead of its time? OR maybe just self-indulgent (like you say-sometimes these stars think they can fart in A minor and make a hit single out of it!) Somehow Christina Aguilera can pull off that '40s Swing stuff better than MADONNA could...but I think MADONNA likes to say she's tryed EVERYTHING. Cantw ait for her Heavy Metal album to come out! hahaha
