Bitch I’m Madonna

Like a Virgin - This album was a total sellout. It's an album made for the masses and it lacks the artistic integrity the other 3 80s albums had.
Erotica - Literally her most overrated album. I know it was shunned for a long time but rightfully so I'd say. The songs sound incredibly dated and there's too much "talking" on the tracks. I'm a a person who pays a lot of attention to catchy melodies and this album just doesn't have it and if it does, it's covered in terrible production.
Madame X - The failed pitch correction ruins almost the entire album. The lyrics on the Mirwais tracks are kind of nonsensical and amateurishly written.
MDNA - An album filled with songs that were intended for other artists and Madonna at her very worst artistically.

THIS is actually really cool and interesting! I will definitely check it out. Thx so much for putting the time and effort in this.

Some Girls was a Britney Spears reject recorded by Bebe Rexha.
Bang Bang was originally a Mika reject recorded by Priscilla Renea.
Girl Gone Wild, Love Spent, I'm a Sinner and many others were written before Madonna took them. She was busy directing W./E. so there wasn't a lot of time for her to actually get in the studio and write a bunch of songs, so she asked William Orbit and Benny Benassi if they had any good song rejects they had done with other artists for her to use. The only ones she has actually written and recorded herself were:
I'm Addicted
Best Friend
I Don't Give A
B-Day Song
I Fucked Up
Superstar
Give Me All Your Luvin' (possibly)
Beautiful Killer (possibly)
Masterpiece (possibly)
...the majority of these make up the worst portion of this album.
 

I wanna drop it because regardless of its lyrical content I consider it one of the worst songs from Erotica. In fact, isn't my favourite album to begin with but Bad Girl is one of her best songs to date and deserved a spot on that setlist and definitely more so than In This Life.

The problem with the upside down one is the fact, that they forgot to switch the color of the text.


I have recreated the original two covers as well as an upside down version with color corrected text. The album title doesn’t disappear as much in this one as it does in the one above but it’s still kinda hard to see.

I personally don’t like how they zoomed in on her. Was that really necessary?
I use this cover instead because it stays true to the original photograph and avoids the text issue altogether:

I'm actually working on designing one. I had this idea of using the DVD release of DWT and the release of GHV2 for cross promotion. The whole packaging and design would be inspired by the video backdrop for Paradise (Not for Me) and the Geisha section from DWT. The song would be included as bonus track and released as a single for promo.
 
Front Booklet:

 
Inside view  - not finished:

 
 
Back:

 
So, my tracklist would be:
 
[*]Erotica [Radio Edit] [*]Fever [Edit One - Video Version] [*]Human Nature [Video Version] [*]Don't Tell Me [Radio Edit] [*]Secret [Edit] [*]Rain [Remix Edit] [*]Ray of Light [Edit - with laughing outro] [*]Beautiful Stranger [W/O Radio Edit] [*]American Pie [*]Music [Edit w/o Intro] [*]Deeper and Deeper [7" Edit] [*]Don't Cry for Me Argentina [Miami Mix Edit] [*]You'll See [Edit] [*]Frozen [Edit] [*]Take a Bow [Edit] [*]The Power of Good-Bye [*]Bedtime Story [*]Nothing Really Matters [Edit] [*]Paradise (Not for Me) [Edit]

The album, sadly exceed the maximum length :( So, Paradise would have to be removed. I didn't put I'll Remember and TUTBMP on there bc adding them would make STR pointless. I also feel that this selection does not only focus on her biggest HITS, because she wasn't THAT successful in the 90's but rather on her most memorable moments from that decade.

Finally someone who I 100% agree with regarding this album. I also find that the fanbase is overrating it A LOT in recent times because they think it didn't get the acclaim it deserved...

Does she not remember any of the other songs from Bedtime Stories? Human Nature was by far the least successful one and the last times she performed it were downright embarrassing.
This song doesn't deserve a fourth tour performance if Secret, Take a Bow, Bedtime Story, You'll See or any of the other 90s singles can barely get one tour appearance.

WannaBe Starting Something??? Ahahaha 
This looks very very odd to be honest.

This would be one hell of a boring show, honestly.

Honestly...only under a few conditions:
It's not a PURE greatest hits tour. There are a lot of hits that she never performed or has forgotten about. It's time to shed some light on those. It follows a storyline and isn't just a loose bunch of random songs thrown together. I'm here for medleys if that means making room for more than just 22 songs. The songs will have to be rearranged. Kevin Antunes has been serving really whack album version remakes for the last two tours. Let Diplo, Mike Dean or Stuart Price handle the tour arrangements.
