MadonnaInfinity -- Best Madonna Song COUNTDOWN

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

If Holy Water is not on the next batch it will confirm that people have overrated the latest album 

 

Excuse me, but Holy Water was the best thing to grace my ears since ARTPOP, so...

[Midnight Shift 108]

take a day has classic madonna charm, while take it back sounds very, very dull to me. lol

 

i also like the production on take a day 

 

I feel the same but the opposite way around lol. Either way, I'm glad Pharrell productions are getting some love. One of M's best producers in my opinion.

 

Excuse me, but Holy Water was the best thing to grace my ears since ARTPOP, so...

 

A man after my own heart.

#254 -- Ain't No Big Deal

Average Score: 5.3

Highest Scores: 8x1 (@@Re-InventionUK)

Lowest Scores: 2x1 (@@NowRadiate)

All I know is that I haven't listened to this song all the way through yet, and I'm sure I'm better off for it.

 

 

 

Next....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#254 -- Hey You

Average Score: 5.3

Highest Scores: 8x3 (@@Re-InventionUK, @@groovyguy, and @@rol1974)

Lowest Scores: 0x1 (@MeantToBeIconic)

I say, unfortunately, that this is the only Madonna song I just can't stand. Nothing about it is right to me. I just can't. Oof   

 

 

Moving on...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#252 -- Back That Up (Do It)

Average Score: 5.4

Highest Scores: 8x2 (@@rol1974 and @@groovyguy)

Lowest Scores: 2x3 (@@voguemadonna, @@NowRadiate, and @@Re-InventionUK)

This was my fave of the RH Pharrel outtakes, by far, with Take It Back following close behind (  ). I love the bounciness of it. More like Hard Candy than Rebel Heart, but whatevs.

 

 

 

Did you catch the smilie?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#251 -- Take It Back

Average Score: 5.45

Highest Scores: 9x2 (@@NowRadiate and @@devilpray)

Lowest Scores: 1x1 (@GHouse)

And now we've lost all the Pharrel outtakes. I guess some fans are still bitter about Hard Candy? I never thought any of the productions were that bad, actually. The lyrics on the other hand...  

 

 

Next....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#250 - Bang Bang Boom

Average Score: 5.45

Highest Scores: 10x1 (@@voguemadonna)

Lowest Scores: 1x1 (@@musicinferno)

Easily one of the more polarizing Madonna demos, the ratings were very split. Personally, I like this a lot, but Gang Bang will always be better. I wonder how MDNA would have sounded if this track had stuck around...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sure some of you were waiting for this one...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#249 -- Autotune Baby

Average Score: 5.5

Highest Scores: 8x3 (@MeantToBeIconic, @@groovyguy, and @@rol1974)

Lowest Scores: 1x1 (@@musicinferno)

I don't get the bad rap this song gets, I really love it. It's inventive, it's unique (except for the reused cry), and it's pretty banging. The beats are slick and the chorus is nothing but fun. But I guess I'm the only one who thinks like that...  

 

 

 

 

 

 

We're done for now. If I get bored, maybe you'll get more

[Midnight Shift 108]

I love Autotune Baby, Take It Back and Back That Up. 

[Dazedmadonna 16,423]

Nooooo poor Back That Up and Autotune Baby

[voguemadonna 647]

How could Bang Bang Boom be out when a certain other song (Act Of Contrition) exists

[stefo 6,384]

Wow, look at what we got here. 

The top of the worst all been properly punished, uh? 

Let me think... what's next? Don't Stop and Ring My Bell I would say.

Anyway the only I would probably save is Back That Up, it's very much Hard Candy but had some style...

 

I'll be drinking Krug Rosé and sometimes Lemon Drops
I'll be wearing diamond grills and Louboutins a lot
 

Oh... and Bang Bang Boom, not that bad as an outtake!

[Ekans 933]

I love Autotune Baby, Take It Back and Back That Up. 

 

Nooooo poor Back That Up and Autotune Baby

I love AB as well, that position is so unfair! hahahaha (seriously) 

 

Anyway, at least that horrible piece of music called Bang Bang Boom is there. That's the worst thing she ever did. (even worser than Superstar or any RH demo) 

[devilpray 2,387]

i hope give me all your luvin is next

 

L-U-V MADONNA

S-T-O-P PLEASE

guys Imm laughing my lungs out - :lol: this is so relieving!

 

when done, this list should be sent to guy oseary

 

or not just saying oo// 

[Fighter 28,798]

Autotune Baby is good only on demo form..... I rated it based on album version. Sad but necessary.

[luckystar 727]

I will never understand Act of Contrition and Dear Jessie. Like A Prayer album is a masterpiece, so there is no bad songs.

 

Hey You is a solid song.

[stefo 6,384]

Wow, I'm CRAZY for Act of Contriction (as for many of her more experimental tracks I have to say). Its powerful beats, the gloomy religious damnation atmosphere, the reversed choir singing used for satanic rituals and the lyrics: in around ten lines they express the whole Catholic conflict point. I think it's the perfect closure for the album.

Dear Jessie, all different story   ...

[rol1974 82]

 

Oh, I also publish the excel with everyone's votes at the end if everyone wants me too

 

 

 

Where is the excel?

Thank you for the great job. it's very funny and interesting

[Enrico 15,823]

I'm so sad for Autotune Baby... I thought it could easily open the album, being so innovative.

And what about Hey You? It always gives me strenght...

Jimmy Jimmy is very poor, but some lyrics remind me of someone that I used to know so it passes the test for me.

The same for Ain't no big deal: the first unreleased song that I bought. And when I found it I was sooo happy! It still brings me the nice memories of that day

Did you do it? Lyrics are funny and provocative, and I ADORE Waiting in every possibile aspect

 

Songs that should have been between the worst??

I have no doubt: Candy perfume girl. I NEVER listen to this one

I rarely listen to Shoo-be-doo, I'd rather be your lover, Spanish lesson, even Love song.

But, I have to admit, I can't stand Dress you up: it's the only song on the RHT setlist that I wish wasn't there...

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Where is the excel?

 

 

I'm thinking at the end. Otherwise, the countdown would be spoiled   

[unapologeticheart 872]

Autotune baby is probably the worst and most cringe worthy song she's done....

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

So I start college tomorrow, and I can't guarantee I'll be able to post tomorrow and I originally wasn't going to post today, but I'll post EIGHT for you all today. Enjoy!

When I was listening to this, I was just thinking "ew all this repetition. And lyrics got me like  " I get it was the 80's, but this was just ridiculous.

Ok, so I love the nursery rhyme way this song was sung. This was for musical (?), so I think it's 100% perfect. I don't get the low ratings it was getting though. It's as cute and fun as anything from the eighties, jsyk

Not a great Bedtime Stories demo. I was expecting great things when I read the list of unreleased demos from this era, and none of them are that good. Especially this one. Bedtime Stories is for the better without this one in the tracklist.

THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN ON THE OFFICIAL TRACKLIST AND Y'ALL KNOW IT

Anyways, it's a bumping song, not as great as all of COADF, but that's only because it's all so perfect. I listen to it all the time, and it's actually on my workout playlist. CAUSE I WANT TO REACH THE TOP LIKE THIS SONG SHOULD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, comments? Concerns? Predictions?

[voguemadonna 647]

I agree that Best Friend is by no means the worst on the album, but I gave it as low as I did because I think the MDNA tour version where it was mashed up with Heartbeat is SO MUCH better than the album version

[Enrico 15,823]

BEST FRIEND is not bad at all, I really like it, its sad lyrics and its atmosphere, and I like the MDNA album ending with the line "It's so sad that it had to end". Pure genius!!

 

INCREDIBLE is not a good song, but its negative aspect (two songs put together) can also be seen as a positive aspect: when I first heard it I thought that this was a totally new direction for a pop song, to create a small "symphony" with different movements, which I never heard before but then found in other Justin Timberlake tracks.

 

STAY... I totally disagree! It's my favourite track from LAV, I don't know why, and I'm so sorry no instrumental karaoke track exist so I can't sing it Of course I would like to have Gambler included (and Warning Signs, why not??), but please don't take it away for me, take Shoo-be-doo instead!!

[Fighter 28,798]

Best Friend is more mediocrity from the MDNA album but i think its better than stuff like IDGA and Superstar. But still pretty mediocre.

 

The MDNA Tour version was of course better... but it's not like it's a memorable moment on Madonna's career.

 

Surprised about Boum since its a lovely cover and her charm on it is so adorable.
