  1. La is a Spanish word, it does not exist in Portuguese lol. If anything, the wordplay could be "Madonna: A Vida Lisbonita!" (which could be translated as "Madonna: The Beautiful(isbon) Life".
  2. What are your favorite final performances?
  3. Funny that if you take COADF out of the equation, it's been one big damage cycle since American Life lol. I wonder how Rebel Heart era would have been had the leaks not happened. The potential was there to fix the mess left behind by HC and MDNA, but it seems that as soon as the songs appeared online, the project lost its compass. Even the final re-inventions that some tracks ended up getting felt forced and didn't make sense if compared to the quality that the demos had (e.g, the title track, Wash All Over Me, Graffiti Heart). But, answering the question, I think that Rebel Heart was a mix of true artistic vision (lyrically, it was a departure from Spanish Lesson, Incredible, GMAYL, Girl Gone Wild, Superstar (The Bitch's songs are more statements than silly songs)) and damage control (having the hot producers of the moment working on it; Diplo and Avicii). And the new album seems to follow the same path, even if the producers this time aren't A-list(ish) worldwide (in terms of popularity, not quality). But, for her career's sake, there most be something in the music, lyrics and image that separates this new album from RH, MDNA and HC. Of course that Interscope/Livenation will do nothing again to promote it, but the question here is not exactly its comercial sucess; but its identity. Erotica was unequal to Like A Prayer. Evita was poles apart from Dita. Ray Of Light, Music, American Life and Confessions all were different from each other. And that's what Madonna means for the grand public. But, just like her first three albums, the last three ones all feel like just one (I'm including RH as the final chapter of the hot mess cuz its disorganization was on a par with the other two). In my opinion, this new one should/must be an unique era on its own. Not exactly bigger than the ones before (if it happens, great), but better. Everything associated with them should be left behind (Candy Shop, Minaj, grills, etc.). Madonna can do whatever she wants (as she will, of course), but, for real, that chain must be broken; it's past its time and it didn't do her any good. Her brand needs desperately something new. And now.
  4. Wikipedia says Stuart and so does Mad-Eyes. Who knows.
  5. History was written and produced by Madonna and Stuart Price. My Top10 is: 01. Don't Tell Me 02. Hollywood 03. Nobody Knows Me 04. Mother & Father 05. American Life 06. I Deserve It 07. Music 08. Intervention 09. The Game 10. Die Another Day
  6. Yes, but let's remind ourselves that this is about Madonna, an artist/brand that the public sees not only as the Queen of Pop but also as the Queen of Music Videos. So to have her own MTV Youtube channel in such a bad state is just unprofessional and wrong.
  7. As a damage control album, I prefer Bedtime Stories over Confessions On A Dancefloor. The 1994' one just embraced the soundof that time (what was selling) so its musical identity feels natural and the lyrics' sadness are a reaction to the backlash, while the latter sounds artificial by recycling American Life message and being a back-to-roots album from a singer who claims to always look forward. Just my opinion.
  8. Give Me All Your Luvin' is a joyful and inoffensive song that was in the wrong place at the wrong time, so the negative reaction that it got is easy to understand. Being it Madonna's first single from a new studio album after a 4 years hiatus and since it would be part of the most watched American television broadcast setlist, the public and fans were expecting a great song. And when it was nothing but a b-side at best, the sky fell down. It's one of my favorite M songs when it comes down to search and find out remixes and covers of her music and I've learned over the years to appreciate it more (the demo was, and is, always fantastic and the MDNA tour performance is a highlight everytime I watch it).
  9. Not only didn't she wear her wedding ring, but she also didn't sing Ring My Bell on that stage. Hmmm... Jk lol. She probably forgot it at home (or maybe she did never wear it on performances, idk).
  10. Run To You is everything; I love that song! But, in my opinion, if Madonna could cover a Bryan Adams song, it should be When You're Gone. And the day the tour hit Canada, Bryan would be invited on stage to sing Mel C' part while Madonna sing his lines ahahah!
  11. Calm down, it's just an innocent question, no one's erasing the trio's place in Pop music history lol. Besides it, that pass-the-pop-baton thing wasn't even serious as Madonna still around and working; "The Kiss" was just one more performance in Madonnaland in the end of the day. And that's where the thread's premisse comes from: who would fit Pink and JLo Britney and Aguilera spots had it happened nowadays.
  12. Had "The Kiss" originally happened in 2018 and not in 2003, who do you think that would be the choices for brides?
  13. This. And also, the P is drawn in the left side of her chest = heart = love. Which can be interpreted as: They did divorce, she's no longer Mrs. Penn, but she still love him.
  14. This Used To Be My Playground have a more interesting music video, even though I like them both.
  15. There was some talk about a duet with Billy Idol back in the 80's. I read it in an old Bravo or so magazine some years ago. Madonna was also supposed to record a cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walking" with Barbra Streisand in her Back to Broadway album, but couldn't because of scheduling problems. There was also a duet song called "Anything You Do I Can Do Better". Also, M and Frank Sinatra almost worked together. And "When You Believe" was to be Whitney and Madonna, not Mariah.
