Here is your Madonna Madness bracket. Good luck. My answers are coming soon ...

Vogue came out first

Make that three.

Confessions.

It's been circulating for days and I tried not to do it because I knew it would be painful. And it was! Final four: Vogue and Live to tell on left side, Rebel Heart and Drowned World on right side. I think Drowned World is winning. But in the first competitions I could change my mind easily... Very hard, for instance, to choose between Easy ride, Crazy for you, You'll see. I am definitely a "ballad" person!!!

Hit Parade: The Veronica Electronica Edition Listen to Episode 11 of Hit Parade @ http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/hit_parade/2018/03/how_madonna_turned_electronica_into_pop_for_her_1998_comeback.html MARCH 29 2018 7:03 AM In 1998, at a crossroads, Madonna rebooted her career by fusing electronics with matters of the heart—and turned digital music into viable pop. By Chris Molanphy In 1998, Madonna was at a career crossroads. After dominating the 1980s with hits like “Like a Virgin” and “Open Your Heart,” she spent the first half of the ’90s wavering between roles as a provocateur (Erotica, Sex) and adult-contemporary balladeer (“I’ll Remember,” “Take a Bow”). That’s when she took a sharp left turn, working with producers and DJs in the burgeoning electronica scene. If it even was a scene: The very term electronica was a music-business confection, and by 1997, it was more hype than hit. But the result of Madonna’s experiment—her acclaimed ’98 album Ray of Light—was not only one of her biggest smashes. It also helped turn electronic music into viable pop.

Erotten...by far! The album is not that great. The music has aged like milk and the majority of the songs are fillers. The videos were good but her looks in general were pretty ugly and the tour isn't as good as Blonde Ambition, particularly because the song choices were not exciting and the setlist was so fucking short.
