I agree! I loved Medellin too. It was not what I was expecting at all, and guess it was a bit 'marmite' for some. It's not so much a song that sounds exactly like Hung Up, but something that evokes that sense of urgency to rush to the dance floor! Going a bit off topic, but I'm loving Dua Lipa's Physical at the moment and even Stupid Love has that energy. Maybe Madonna could move in to gay club for the next 4 years to get some inspiration! Ha ha!

He played Rosanna Arquette's husband Gary Glass https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/mark-blum-star-of-desperately-seeking-susan-and-you-dies-at-69-due-to-coronavirus-complications/ar-BB11KBii?li=BBnb7Kz

Medellin was and still is for me uplifting energetic and fun. It seems I will never grow tired of that song, purely magical... But maybe only for me, the general public and many fans wants Hung Up again, because it was a magical + year-end era. You know that will never happen, it would be uplifting energetic and fun, but certainly not Hung Up again. And when you thing about it, if you compare to other pop artists, it's incredible how Madonna never repeats herself. Each single seems to be unique in her catalogue. That is also the kind of respect she has for herself, her art and her fans too. Always evolving to keep a real interest and be upgrading pop.

Have you searched on youporn ?

People are really bored these days. Maybe they should start cleaning up their houses, or I don't know, doing zumba to keep their energies busy.

Oh the irony of people criticizing Madonna for having a point of view, saying she’s out of touch, when just a few, short weeks ago they were complaining about their show being cancelled! Boo hoo you. A concert that many of us paid hundreds, if not thousands of dollars/euros/pounds for - but that’s okay because all the terrible things going on in the world didn’t matter back then, as long we got to see our show! Now this virus is on our doorstep, and she, like everyone one else is scared and vulnerable, and yet people seem to forgot everything she did during the AIDS epidemic, and all the things she’s been doing quietly raising money, building schools, orphanages and hospitals for an impoverished and long-forgotten, African nation, ravaged by AIDS, over the last 2 decades! Was she out of touch with reality then, or maybe people just didn’t give a shit, because that wasn’t their problem? Just because she has hard-earned wealth and privilege, doesn’t mean she can’t be worried for her friends and family. It’s not just about her. I’m sure she has elderly relatives and that was the point she was making - coronavirus doesn’t care how wealthy, famous or celebrated you are. There are no barriers and there is no cure. No one is immune and being treated in a clean, private hospital or a dirty, public hospital won’t make any difference. Where you live and how many staff you have is utterly irrelevant. If you get it and you’re a certain age or have underlying health problems, then you’re at a higher risk of dying. That’s it. People should stop denouncing celebrities for their wealth and privilege because it’s utterly irrelevant. Saving the world is not Madonna’s problem, but fans on this forum should know far better than most, how much she has already done to help it.

I don't know if she's serious but a YES from me as long as she's IN the musical! But I have to admit, I'd rather her do a greatest hits tour next and some new songs to go with it. Adding: but I'm not picky. I'll take anything.

Of course. She's also responsible for the cancelling of the Like a Prayer re-issue in April.

whatta bunch of psychos

Wasn't she unsuccessfully writing a musical when she decided to just make a damn COADF instead? She has my blessings then Anything that keeps her into music

As long as SHE sings most of the songs of it, yes.

Ahh! The memories. It was 2005. There was no corona virus and every Saturday night was a party! I hope all the shit going on the world right now inspires her to create something uplifting, energetic and fun. God knows, we all need our spirits raised right now.

Where does the rumor come from, that the tour film is going to be broadcasted in July? I hope it's true, with the DVD/CD/BluRay release before Christmas.

Madonna was being philosophical but it's real for Debi right now. I do not think either is wrong because they said what they said from whatever they were experiencing at the moment. I am getting increasingly concerned about the virus in my position. I wish I could stay home. Like Madonna, I have been somewhat philosophical as well. As I saw people becoming more anxious and fearful and then having to isolate themselves I realized that practically everything I do is exactly what people are having a nervous breakdown over. I spent almost my whole life in isolation...watching everyone else have relationships and enjoying life. Isolating myself for a couple of months would be a cakewalk. My life is the same except for not going to cafes and not dog walking. I go straight to work and come straight home. It has somehow made me think that I am unselfish and stronger than I ever dreamed. I think that might be along the lines of what Madonna was getting at. I don't wish people to be unhappy but I could not help but think "welcome to my world; how does it feel?" People do not understand how some can be so sad yet they are separated from people for a couple of weeks and can't deal with it. I feel forced into isolation because I could never find anyone to unconditionally love me. I have made myself be alone but I never want to be. Anyway...I wanted to explain why I am defending Madonna so ardently on this one. I believe I have taken a bath with rose petals even in my first humble apartment. I was focused on her mood and her words. Everyone else is commenting on her looks, rose petals, she's sitting in a bathtub....

Sure

Maybe because it was useless. She’s telling something serious & then a pic of her in bath covering her tits with floors? ????

A rich woman, talking from her golden bath tube, about how the virus is equal for everyone... It may be equal, I can understand what she meant, but it can be bad recieved from the general public... after all people are dying without the option of saying goodbye to their families, music arenas are used as funeral homes, etc... Really sad and dangerous times to talk about poetry from your golden bath, even when her intention was good.

I really think that Instagram has brought out a side of Madonna that I'd rather not see. She's posted a lot of things that I either disagree with outright, or felt that she knew better than to post (even if I did agree with her) because it was obvious that she'd receive backlash (like her n-word comment a few years ago for example). On the other hand, I kind of wish that she'd just stick with her decisions. It shouldn't matter if she gets backlash for a caption or image that she posts; she's usually been very unapologetic about things in the past anyway, so why delete them?

Madonna is not the only getting them and it's disturbing. People are just venting their frustrations but in the process they are also releasing the beast of negativity that will hit them back (three times) one day and they won't understand why. Why spending time on someone you don't like ? I barely have time to spend on people i like, it puzzles me. That goes for some Madonna fans too who can't help themselves and they go insulting other popstars or people they think made Madonna wrong.... It's insane. I just wish people would go back to learn how to use their super ego. Break the circle, don't feed negativity. Madonna does not need you to defend her. Ignore trolls and haters, they seek attention and you give them life by giving them some. Let them in the dark, don't feed them with your time and energy. Keep those for doing something proactive.

Saw this weeks ago and I didn't even bother finishing it, the first 2 points were too stretched. That's how Dr. Oz made his money!

i don't think they're joking cuz they're bored, they're mental ill i swear

Me too! And actually I love musicals, so I'd love M to write and maybe direct and of course sing the concept album, like Sarah Bareilles did for Waitress before the cast album was released. Bareilles and Cyndi Lauper wriote some of the best scores in the past years. I think M and Pat Leonard could do magic!

Andrew Lloyd Webber reply:

I'm not into musicals to be honest but I wonder why she stopped recording songs to be used in movies. If we check her back catalogue, most of the movie songs she did are gold.

Madonna refuses what? Singing old hits? Basically every tour she sings the same old hits save for Madame X. MDNA, RIT and RH tour are super saturated with hits, also Madonna is capable of changing her mind LOL

Wow that's sad! He was a very respected actor and I liked him on many TV shows, he was on You recently I think. Loved him in DSS Rest in Peace

If it's a serious work with not cringy moments (as the Hello Suckers that someone mentioned above) then yes. But i would prefer a new era, a well done era, from vocals, production, promotion etc. MX had good production only. I would also like her to do songs for movies till the next era, Celine Dion did a song for a superhero movie and got 150+ million viewed song. She was doing regularly songs for movies till ~2008.

Don't Tell Me

It's not a musical, but she did one very similar back in 2002:

I should watch those videos again before voting !!

Rain all the way. Love how M traded her trademark glamazon look for the doe eyed waif of the video.

Yeah

Maybe she took it down because she realizes She isn't equal. She can afford special private care if needed from the worlds top docs. We can't even get our own docs to look at us here now lol

That was not a very convincing reply from Madonna, it is like she lives in her own universe. She is so lost. And she should have removed that video simply because it looked stupid and it was bad. Very bad. Period.

Thanks!!

She’s in London. ?

In interesting approach would be to layer both audios together and render them down to a new stereo mix.

Social media just brings out the worst in people. If I was that famous I wouldn’t have any social media. I’d always be asking people to come say the things they do to my face and receive a free gift of a broken jaw.

HBO broadcast of DWT is like this too.

I have the video and just watched. I'm not one of those who defends Madonna everytime, that agrees with everything...Well, Debbi Mazar may have covid 19, maybe be angry about it, I'm sure she is...because this virus is a fucking surprise till the end...You cant really expect: I'm gonna be ok....and I think she vented it on Madonna. I dont defend Madonna always. If I feel she is wrong, I will say it... and There is nothing wrong about what she says in the video, Nothing.

Yes Madonna it has made you equal to my parents, both over 60, one just fought leukemia and the other with Diabetes. They are so equal to you right now. My mother was almost forced to continue home visits to children or lose her job until I stepped in and threatened to sue. So so so equal Madonna. Anyone forcing you to go out and work right now? It has made the millions who have lost their jobs so equal. I'm betting you aren't too worried about your finances It has made the health care workers still working in hospitals with those infected so equal. Pretty sure you won't have to go to a hospital with the unwashed masses will you? You are every woman/man/child - You are like all of us. So equal, not priviledged at all. I'm betting you haven't had trouble finding food to eat, because I know I sure haven't had to ration food, I've been eating like a King You Madonna have insight into all of it. Well done. You are exactly what people need right now.

I researched days for this topic and it never appear, thanks a lot @Enrico I was not so wrong singing it live so hahaha I think is one of the greatest and meaningful songs ever, might be me but I am emotionally connected with Madame X, that album is just perfect in my opinion, it has the perfect balance that, for example, RH didn't really have, although I love RH.

I'm not sure if a website named "bitchyf" is a reliable source. We can't verify if Debi commented that, which is possible. BTW, I don't remember that M said Covid was beautiful

Looking For La Isla Bonita (Medley) WTF
