Short break from Madame, Maluma and Medellin. Some of you probably know Georgina [thehonestvocalcoach]. She made a famous video with Britney's Everytime performance. This time she's commenting Madonna live vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlAYcaxvX9w&feature=youtu.be

Madonna's new single #Medellin debuted at #46 at the official single chart in the UK, while #39 on the UK's download chart. #MadameX + song already has : 2.3 mil streams on Spotify : https://t.co/1PG3tsGMaH 5.7 mil views on YouTube : https://t.co/Q3KFV0neoP

I'm sure there's already a topic dedicated to this subject, but I wonder... Which Madonna song has been most meaningful to you? Which song has been an inspiration in overcoming a dark period in your life? Which song has helped you overcoming fear or certain obstacles? Puberty was a real b*tch. Being gay in high school, in a very suffocating environment, having little to no friends. I always felt there was something wrong with me. All these feelings I just could not explain. Loneliness. Being bullied. No perspective. It was 1990 and I remember seeing Vogue for the first time on television. There was this sense of recognition and I didn't feel so alone anymore. Then there was Justify My Love. "Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another." Wow, I thought, I don't need anybody's permission to feel the way I feel or to love the one I love. It was liberating and empowering. So was Erotica: "Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better. Only the one that inflicts the pain can take it away." The video and lyrics helped me to accept my sexuality and to have the guts to truly be myself. I knew that in a couple of years I would get the hell out of that little village where I grew up and move to the city. To study, to grow, to not depend on the permission of another and to find my own path. I have Madonna to thank for that.

Totally with you

I really hope this flops hardcore so she won't ever even attempt to do a song in the vein of this again.

Without a doubt Live to tell: If I ran away, I'd never have the strength To go very far How would they hear the beating of my heart Will it grow cold The secret that I hide, will I grow old How will they hear When will they learn How will they know

That's awesome!!

I know I'm not a Mod here, but anyone who doesn't consider"EROTICA" to be one of her best lead singles is going to get a lifetime and instant ban.

Idolator ranked Madonna’s lead singles off each of her studio album from best to worst. https://www.idolator.com/7752032/madonna-14-lead-singles-ranked?view-all&ios=1 It is as follows: 1. Like a Prayer 2. Hung Up 3. Frozen 4. Live to Tell 5. Music 6. Secret 7. Erotica 8. Like a Virgin 9. 4 Minutes 10. Medellín 11. Living for Love 12. Everybody 13. American Life 14. Give Me All Your Luvin’ Do you agree with the list? For my own account, I would rank ‘4 Minutes’ and ‘Living for Love’ higher than ‘Erotica’ and ‘Like a Virgin’, and ‘Secret’ higher than ‘Music’. I agree with the rest.

1. Like A Prayer 2. Hung Up 3. Medellín 4. Living For Love 5. Secret 6. Music 7. Frozen 8. Erotica 9. 4 Minutes 10. Live To Tell 11. Everybody 12. American Life 13. Like A Virgin 14. Give Me All Your Luvin’

Happy Easter y'all

For me Give Me All Your Luvin', Celebration and Living For Love are her worst lead singles EVER. Also, can't consider 'Live To Tell' the lead single to True Blue as for me the real lead is 'Papa Don't Preach'

Aw she liked her. A lot of her 80s performances are very much pitchy but I love them for that looking back. I hadn't thought 80s Madonna would classify as "baby voice" but I can see how. The video should've very much focused on good vocals and less Crazy for You and Like a Virgin though, even though those were iconic, they're not Lament or Sooner or Later.

I wish I owned the copyrights of vogue!

Strange... Maybe only because nobody listened to it before yesterday, and we were all curious to hear for the 1st time the hit of an album whose work lasted 4 years. Now that we know how it sounds, do you think the charts position will be the same as the first day? I don't think so. At least it's what I'm hoping in order for her to learn that she should satisfy the expectations of the most faithful fans who expected from her the same quality music that she produced in the past, instead of being her to adapt herself to the new music genres in vogue in a certain moment in order to conquer new generations. Disappointed. Disappointed by this new 1st single. Disappointed by the song we have listened in that little teaser in which she announced the name of the new album. Disappointed by the two different cover of this new album. Disappointed also by the way the fonts were placed on the cover, and by the type of fonts they chosen. What the hell is this crap? Is it a joke?

lmao if this bitch performs candy shop again im getting the fuck out

... and then, the extended cut of this RH booklet pic

Well, this is going to be a long post, but I really need to share these pics cause I find them absolutely awesome. These are ultra rare Polaroid fitting photos from 1993 ... enjoy that body, attitude and incomperable freshness

I don't care, except for Rescue Me. I need to hear that song live!

@AspergerArtist Wow, thank you for being so open! I give you all my respect. And love of course! :-)

Quite some songs over the years. Who's That Girl reminds me of the summer of my childhood, growing up in Trinidad and going out with my older brother and sister, being with my aunties, dancing with my mom. La Isla Bonita reminds me of the island I left in 1988 when I moved to the UK aged 9. Like A Prayer (more it's visuals) appealed a child who was questioning things at a young age; religion, racial identity and discrimination. Oh Father stood out for me, always, because of the strained relationship I had with my father figures growing up and then leaving home at an early age. Love Tried to Welcome Me because I always thought I'd be alone. Take A Bow and I Want You were quite meaningful because I had strong feelings for people I couldn't be with. You'll See was my anthem when I left home. I thought I'd be strong. Frozen was like an awakening, stirring feelings to want to experiment with sound. I was in love with its grand production and visuals. Drowned World, again because I always felt alone in a crowded room. Mer Girl's lyrics were fascinating. Like Promise to Try and Inside of Me, they gave an insight into someone still dealing with grief. Although I hadn't yet experienced such a loss, I would later learn through therapy that I was grieving the loss of my childhood which ended too soon. The Power of Goodbye. I always understood the song to be more about death than a relationship. It's stronger in the demo I think. To be so at a loss, than you would be ready to give it all up. Been there many times over. Same with Paradise and Nobody's Perfect. Mother And Father for personal reasons. There was a time I was happy in my life, when I had both mother and father. And I questioned why they couldn't be with me. Nothing Fails, X-Static Process, Intervention and Easy Ride all appealed to me as someone constantly questioning things and trying to understand why I feel the way I do. Never Let You Go is a song I felt close to, I could close my eyes and just let it take me. Standing in my own darkness and feeling the music sway me. I Fucked Up. I do it a lot. Tragic Girl because I can be in my mind. Those are the songs that mean the most to me. Other notable ones are Live To Tell, I'll Remember, Something To Remember, Little Girl, Spanish Eyes, Dear Jessie, Isaac, Ariosa, Swim, Supernatural, Secret Garden, Sanctuary, The Beast Within, Act of Contrition and Be Careful with My Heart.

American Life & Nobody Knows Me Because growing up gay in high school in TEXAS sucks ass.

A song that I used to listen to before important events such as exams, concerts was Express Yourself: I took a lot of energy and encouragement from it, but I think it is common to many of us. A song that came out in a very dark moment of my life, when I felt I couldn't do it, I was giving up, I felt lonely and desperate, is Hey You. It really felt like she was talking to me, like she knew what was going on. Every single word. I know It is not a fan favourite, but I can really say that it saved my life. Hey, you, don't you give up Its not so bad There's still a chance for us Hey, you, just be yourself Don't be so shy There's reasons why its hard
