What was the time, the song, the "moment" you knew you loved Madonna as an artist unconditionally!? Mine was when I saw the premiere of Frozen on the telly, I was entranced. I knew I liked Madonna before, but being a kid, I didn't pay much attention to her as an artist other than knowing my mom liked her. My mom has this wonderful pic of her holding me when I was a baby in 1986, and you can see on the telly that Madonna's Papa Don't Preach is playing??? it was a forecast of my admiration for her. She also helped me deal with growing up gay in the backwoods of Idaho. She again was my mascot for freedom and positivity while being in the Air Force from 2004-2013, a time when "Don't ask don't tell" was in high effect. Madonna, thank you. Love you always.

They should have used the original or the Immaculate Collection versions.

The only good thing is, Madonna has true fans that will love her forever no matter what! We prove it daily. We don’t care about her age and all that. We applaud her. She is a true artist. Let the haters hate and the younger artist do their thing at this moment, because all they have is “this moment”. ????????????

I love “Express Yourself” on this version. It’s so good to gym to.

We simply just need her to get played more. It will happen! She just needs to release this album and people will come... there is this anticipation that she has brewed up for this album that not only fans are waiting on- but many others now. Also, things like The Met Gala are coming, pride performances, a GLADD Vangaurd award, being represented in culture by POSE, Eurovision too maybe? She will be promoting herself wisely I believe under this new management compared to her last two albums. I also think a documentary will help her incredibly too- because now days everyone watches the documentaries on Netflix, even if they don’t know the artist so well.

Well it happens so often I can understand why people are a bit scared. Most people in person even say negotiate stuff about her these days even when she is mentioned.

It’s so sad that we have to brace ourselves on how people will portray Madonna as a legend in media. It shows how much society has gone backwards. This woman was and is a fucking trailblazer.

Why so negative? All the queens on that show are bitchy at times, but we end up loving them all. Queens are bitches, it’s part of Queen DNA?? I don’t see this show casting her as evil, but maybe just as a bitch like the rest of them at times.

Isn’t it a great show! I’m so happy they will draw Madonna’s music in. I don’t see them making her out to be evil, possibly a bit of a bitch, but hey- all queens can be bitches! Look at season one, we never hate anyone no matter how bitchy they get??

Any publicity is good publicity.

Exciting times coming up! This could help people nowadays see how Madonna helped gay culture into the mainstream. https://www.queerty.com/madonna-patti-lupone-will-apparently-play-big-roles-pose-season-20190325

Wow impressive choices!

Great choices!! I’ll add Skin and Impressive Instant too!!

Agree!!!

My top 15 in order of release date. 1982, Everybody- it’s funky, it’s catchy, it was her first single. This song takes us back to the early 80s, to the streets of New York right after disco, and right when the AIDS epidemic started. This song could bring her back to where she began. Back full circle to that starving artist she once was tearing up the dance floors with her demo tape at places like Danceteria. 1983, Think of Me- This is just a great funky dance song that takes us back to the early 1980s streets and dance floors of NYC. It never was a single, and never got its place in the sun. Now is a perfect time for this funky gem to be discovered again. 1984, Borderline- no explanation needed. She needs to bring this back. 1985, Crazy for You- This little sweet song showed us that Madonna had a soft side, that she could sing, and it takes us back to the memory of early loves. 1985, Gambler and Live to Tell- Gambler is a Rock song and a dance song. It’s just a badass song that needs to be performed again. We cannot forget this one! I’d tie in Live to Tell with this song somehow, because they create a story together in my eyes. 1987, Who’s That Girl and Causing a Commotion- these two are fun, catchy, and showcase her fun Latin tinged roots in dance music. Perfect for this era. 1987, Spotlight- This song never became as big as it should have. It’s a beautiful song that shows her audience how special and important they are to her and the world! 1990, Rescue Me- it’s such a great song! No explanation needed, besides it being totally gay and showcasing the pride of gay life in the era of Vogueing. 1992, Whys it So Hard- BECAUSE the world needs this song right now!!!!! It’s an anthem for acceptance and freedom to be who you are and to love others for who they are! 1993, Rain- it needs to be remembered and it’s a beautiful song that showcases Madonna’s mermaid-like harmonies. 1995, Bedtime Story- I think it would fit in with this era because it was inspired by dreams and the art of Frida, Remedios Varo, and Leonara Carrington.. Latin surrealist like Paula Rego. 1999, Nothing Really Matters- Because it was a work of art, a beautiful song that showed her growth in becoming a mother and spiritualist. Plus it’s just one of her most highly fashioned looks! 2005, Jump- Because it’s lyrics are beautiful and because it’s so much fun! 2012, Some Girls- because it’s a fucking jam and never got its moment! It also shows her strength and resilience in the lyrics. 2015, Graffiti Heart- it brings us back to her early days when she was fresh off the streets of NYC, where her rebel heart became known. It’s a sweet homage to her past, to her artist friends back then.

I agree!!!

So I think it would be super fun to see what everyone’s top personal Madonna video is, and why?! She is such a superb visual artist, so it would be fun to see what you say! My favorite video of all time that I believe showed her growth as an artist, would have to be “Bedtime Story”. I say this because It was so ahead of its time, and referenced some of my favorite surrealist like Leonara Carrington, Remedios Varo, Frida, and incorporated their art within her own dreamscape (which is what we do with art we love). It was like looking into Madonna’s head as she slept... to find the hidden messages in her subconscious mind- visions of her fears, her passions, and her yearnings. Clearly we can tell she wanted a baby, yet she was fearing her own morality through this video. We see her trying to make piece within herself, to find peace within her flaws, to look at the moon for the first time and feel born again under it (like Remedios Varo’s painting, “Born Again” pictured below). It was a video that showed us how Madonna was changing on the inside, a preview of her becoming a mother, a preview of becoming more enlightened, a preview into her Ray of Light era.
