I watched it yesterday and I loved it! Really well made. Jamie Auld is fantastic as Madonna. I think I might get this one on BluRay (or DVD).

Review: Jamie Auld transformative as Madonna in new docudrama http://m.digitaljournal.com/entertainment/entertainment/review-jamie-auld-transformative-as-madonna-in-new-docudrama/article/545333

The only issue that I have with TIC is that it should have been two discs to include all of her hits to that point. Angel... Dress You Up... Gambler.... True Blue... Who's that Girl... Causing a Commotion... The Look of Love... Oh Father... Keep It Together.... and Hanky Panky... are the obvious omissions. Everybody and Burning up are historical masterpieces and belonged in the collection. The material was definitely there. Who's that Girl would have definitely fit in the released version and a true blue edit as well.

sooo love this!!! :))))))))

She's currently filming a sequel to "innocence lost" covering the era from "Like a Virgin" to "Like a prayer" ???

Terumi says "hi" !

Totally. It's not just Cry Me A River anyway - it's also quite a clear derivative of What Goes Around. There's absolutely nothing original or experimental about Devil Wouldn't Recognise You. Truly.

Yay! I'm getting my DVD on March 26!! *_*

puting these 2 together is like comparing Marilyn Monroe with the back of bus...

Exactly. Listening to the demos there is something missing—they all sound aged in their own way. “No Substitute for Love” sounds like it’s on the verge of new age ambient music I’d hear at the massage parlor. You can hear the seeds of what became ROL throughout though, so it’s an invaluable look into the artistic process. I kinda love the Babyface tracks, especially “I’ll Be Gone” (was totally expecting it to be “Gone” in demo form). I wonder, were they actually recorded in ‘97, or were these leftovers from ‘94 and she was considering reworking them?

not sure about the others but I'm certain that William brought her a demo of Ray Of Light which a singer he knew had been working on... i recall it being said that when the singer heard M's final version she was surprised that M had even kept her ad-libs

I've always appreciated Pat Leonard's input on ROL. Lyrically, he and Madonna came up with some real gems. When she worked again with Orbit on Runaway Lover and Amazing, the magic wasn't really there. I've never felt Orbit and Mirwais brought out the best in Madonna's songwriting. That said, the demos are bit schizophrenic. It's a miracle that ROL turned out like it did given what she went in with. Orbit really pulled a hat-trick by making these disparate songs into a cohesive album! I can't wait to see what fans do with some of the alternate takes! The Babyface songs are out of left-field. I can't quite wrap my mind around them since they're 20+ years old and sound it. If I were Madonna, I'd add them to a 25th Anniversary Edition of Bedtime Stories as an iTunes exclusive. She won't do this, but it's a good idea.

Well, I think that every single writer/producer did their bit... but Orbit gave the touch of magic that was needed to give us one of the best albums in the history of music...
