Oh Kylie. I know it's been said countless times, debated countless times even, but why wasn't "The One" the lead single for this album? Yes, it's what "people" want and expect from Kylie (and me, too, to be fair; based on pop sub-genres alone, I could have easily predicted I'd love this spacey mid-tempo pop song far more than "Two Hearts"), and that's one advantage, as is the fact that it's got an "I'm here" statement feel to it, but it's got another, too: it's a far better song. Kind of a cover and at least a reworking, "The One" is one of those odd mid-tempo songs that you could listen to whether you're seeking to further your sadness or to be left feeling better off. You want pop that's both commercial and a work of art? Look no further than "The One." It will have a life span far longer than those of many songs above it in this list, I suspect; it's another case where on a list of "best songs of 2008" as opposed to "favorite songs," it would rank even higher. For the imagery of the line I quoted alone, it would make this list.Find it on: X
