Madonnanation is a shame pit. I was banned on there just last week. I only ever contributed intellectual content, but you simply cannot expect a bunch of overgrown gay men with permanent arrested development to step beyond ego and challenge themselves to an expansive view of life. One must not criticize Madonna when it isn't in alignment with the peanut gallery. It always seems so ironic to me that freedom of speech can be so limited on a Madonna forum, but it is always the same tyrannical people who act out. Suedehead is probably 60, and is an incorrigible bully. In fact many of the most vociferous Madonna "fans" are in a perpetual state of egoic reactivity.

She's acting like a fucking moron.

I'm sure this is what is going to happen... Can she just release the tour as it was? We want the real M, with all of her flaws!!!! We don't want an edited-as-fuck show starring a mannequin with robot vocals recorded on a studio! Sorry, I'm angry ?

I'm currently working on STUDIO MIXES BASED on the MADAME X TOUR VERSIONS. YOUTUBE PLAYLIST HERE: Tracks will be available LOSSLESS, including instrumental and playback versions when all tracks are done. Meanwhile you can enjoy them on YouTube

Since movie production has been stopped for an unknown time because insurance companies won't take that risk and without insurance you can't make a movie....maybe we'll get an album instead

Am I the only one still waiting for that Acoustic EP with all those tracks she's been teasing us diring the last few years? Between The Bars Send In The Clowns If I Had A Hammer Can't Help Falling In Love Hallellujah #whynot

Hopefully (even if it went number one just because it's on sale) it will show her there's a demand for her back catalogue and maybe she'll treat it better. I hope Warner took note and will harrass her & Oseary now. We, at least, need remasters.

Honestly, does anyone think Madonna would do anything that she hasn't been clearly informed is safe? It's more like those who are up in arms are simply jealous that they don't have the courage to understand that the media has been nailing them into a fear coffin for months. If you aren't immune-compromised, you'll be fine. Stop living in fear! Life will go on with or without you. Practice caution, not fascism.

Interview by Olivier Pernot (extract) You met Madonna in 1998. How did she discover your music? Here's the true story: I had a deal with Naïve [French indie music label], when the French Touch was buoyant, even though I was a little older given the fact that I was 38 at the time. Disco Science came out in 1998. I had a deal with Sony for the rest of the world but I wasn't fond of their US team. I thought they were corny. Director Stéphane Sednaoui shot the Disco Science video and he had also done a Madonna video. So I asked him if he could pass on my maxi to Guy Oseary, the label manager at Maverick, the one Madonna had created at Warner. In the beginning, I was looking for a label in the US for my forthcoming album [Production] and Maverick had launched The Prodigy, among others. Guy Oseary gives the maxi to Madonna, she loves the track and the video. Then, Oseary comes to Paris and wants to meet me. He was staying at the Hôtel Costes with Red Hot Chili Peppers. I go there and he asks for more. So I handed him some other tracks. Then, later, he calls Naïve's boss to ask if I'd be interested in trying to work on things with Madonna. And I said "Of course, why not!" How did the first meeting go? I go to London for a work session in a recording studio and we hit it off immediately. Our artistic sensibilities are very close. Since then, surprisingly, we never hang out outside of work. But as soon as we're working together, we have an extraordinary relationship musically speaking. How do you work with her? With Madonna, it's a fifty-fifty collaboration. I like the idea of sharing and, when I was a teenager, I wanted to be in a band. Sometimes, I'll send her demos. Some with my own vocals. One of Madonna's strengths is that she has a flair for good tracks, for spotting the songwriting in a demo. A track that wouldn't get any label guy's attention, she gets the feeling, she takes it and makes something out of it. For her last album, she was very much influenced by Portugal and you can hear it on the record. She knows that I cross over a lot of things, we can go anywhere, in all directions. After Music, Madonna called you again for two other albums: American Life and Confessions on a Dance Floor. Her career had been rekindled by Ray of Light, the album she made with William Orbit. Music confirmed the success: it sold 11 million copies and went number 1 in the US. Then, cherry on top, Music, the song, made her ultra-hip again. So, of course, she was keen on us working together again. (...) Why has Madonna called you back in 2018 for Madame X? I stopped working for her in 2006. I did only a few tracks on Confessions on a Dance Floor and I introduced Stuart Price to her. I left because I had personal issues I had to deal with. It had nothing to do with her. I had to focus on myself. But our work wasn't over. Our songwriting relationship wasn't over. We kept in touch. We'd e-mail each other often and, whenever she came to Paris, she invited me to her shows. Our relationship feels like she's family. It sounds like you admire Madonna. Yes, I admire her a lot because she has done everything for 40 years, in a lot of different styles. And above all, she is eager, she experiments. That's the most important thing about her. She took part in the New York scene in the 70s. So yes, she is an inspiration even though she isn't perfect. Moreover, she is post-success: she is beyond success and money. She has had all of this for a long time in her life, so her focus is on creation. The two of us get together straightforwardly to create songs. It's that simple. You agreed to this interview because you wanted to speak of your new album. The former one, Production, is from 2000. Now we're in 2020. I haven't made an album in 20 years, it's staggering. I was busy with Madonna between 2000 and 2006. It's quite something. In counting, with the last one, there are tracks of mine on 4 Madonna albums. 28 songs. After 2006, I went through depression. And then I started working again. (...) (The Retrofuture, Mirwais' next album, will feature Richard Ashcroft from The Verve and Kylie Minogue. It is slated for the fall of 2020, with another album ready for 2021. Mirwais plans a trilogy.) (...) Why do you give so few interviews? Nowadays, you have a choice considering the media you'll talk to. Last year, with Madonna's album, I said no to the biggest TV news shows, because I didn't feel like talking. I did a single interview for a Madonna fan webzine. And then for you, Bon temps, because it's a real discussion, not promotion. (...) What excites you in music today? (Mirwais quotes Bob Dylan and Joy Division's Closer as current influences.) I'm looking for chaos in order to blend in and I think we're getting there. Something good always emerges from chaos!

Hard Candy's reportedly on a potato powered machine as Lola's then science project

Rebel Heart vocals were sung into a MacBook.

I know i shouldn't laugh and all but that gif you just posted in the context of the discussion is really one of the funniest thing i have ever seen in a forum ??? i literally can't stop laughing ??? this made my night !

+1, it's hard to argue with what seems to be a bunch of googleless, hubristic clowns.

Pretty sure she's been recording with the people she is quarantined with for the last six weeks.

honey, she's in new york. im mixed on all this. yes, its her life, and the virus isnt going away. we are all going to eventually get back out there, risking our lives. also, i think she lied about the antibodies test. its weird how one day she said she was tested for it, and the next day shes out partying. thats a hard test to come by right now. she gave herself a piss poor excuse to party with friends and will be shredded by the press. we still dont know if we cant get it again. maybe shes on the level, but the party seems pretty irresponsible.

Hope there will be a Madonna track in this project to come !

Is Madonna the only one in the world 'not keeping social distance'? A lot of people aren't giving sht about

There will be a point, where we will have to live again, and see our loved ones. I don't want to die alive, sorry. Paranoia and being a police about the actions that others do, is more dangerous than any virus. Let's not forget the stigma that HIV generated.

The Antibodies made her do it.

Attending Stevens birthday is extremely selfish and unacceptable when everyone is social distancing. She doesn’t help herself if this makes the press they will crucify her

All she said was she was going for a long car ride with the windows open. Why should she shut her trap??

Me too!!!

Stuart Prices home studio. hardly garageband equipment.

96/5000 Excuse me, English is not my language and I did not understand the question well, you want to know the location. -D

people who carry antibodies specific to the novel coronavirus have been infected previously, even if they didnt know it. for those people, discovering that they have these virus fighting antibodies could raise hopes of immunity and a return to normal life. if she is being honest, then shes been infected and those people around her at the time have already been at risk. possibly she was infected earlier in the year before the lockdown. thats of course if shes really had the antibodies test? and your right, we still dont know enough about the virus to know if she can be reinfected.

this is so wrong, I can't believe it....

Bedtime Stories is a sublimely understated album that has served as the backdrop to many an evening filled with chill vibes and good conversation over the last almost twenty-six years. Madonna served some of her subtlest vocal sweetness ever on it, and it deserves every moment of recognition for being as contemporary and fresh today as it was three decades ago. This will always be the trajectory of the general public when it comes to appreciating her work. I’m very happy to see Bedtime Stories help to restore Madonna’s good reputation as a purveyor of all extraordinary things musical and visual. Madonnanation still sucks, and my thought process will continue to be such that I elaborate on other people’s points of view whether they stay the course of the primary topic or they veer off into expansive dialog worthy of a fanbase! Cheers!

I’ve absolutely no friggin idea... but my GOD - I adore everything about this shoot ?

The forum yes of course, this particular topic however is about Bedtime Stories. Maybe start a new topic about forums that some of us will know not to open

Well I'm glad you're happy that Madonna's having fun partying. That's fandom. Even though she obviously wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, it's nice you're caring more about her partying ways than about public safety by writing such shit on a semi-public forum. ps - your pseudonym is undeserved.

its all too weird. im not going to jump to conclusions here because i dont know the circumstances that made her think this is okay to do? i do wonder if she really got an antibodies test? those are hard to come by right now. its just weird how one day she posted about it and the very next day she was out partying. its like she was trying to get a free pass to go out. we dont know enough about the virus to know even if someone had it, if they cant get it again.

Love this idea though mine is more similar to Kylie's MADONNA: The Fantasy Tour Set List The Beast Within(Intro) 01.Physical Attraction 02.Impressive Instant/I'm Addicted(Medley) 03.Causing a Commotion 04.Angel 05.Supernatural 06.Thief Of Hearts 07.Skin/Sky Fits Heaven(Medley) 08.Has To Be 09.Let It Will Be 10.I Want You(Orchestral) Promise To Try/Oh Father(Interlude) 11.Easy Ride/X-Static Process/Looking For Mercy(Medley) 12.Sanctuary 13.Bedtime Story 14.What It Feels Like For a Girl 15.Forbidden Love 94/Love Tried To Welcome Me/Love Don't Live Here Anymore(Medley) 16.Till Death Do Us Part 17.Devil Wouldn't Recognize You 18.Rain 19.Nothing Really Matters 20.Rescue Me Encore 21.Where's The Party 22.Spotlight 23.Rebel Heart

What is GGD ? Gagadaily ? An dyes Mnation is absolutely the most toxic Madonnna forum ever.

Angel rock version....no no no no!!!! If she ever performs it it should be in original, or a slowed down ballad version.

Justice for Zippyshare. Bahahaha (fixed)

yes she should. should have been picked with crave, I rise and God control.She juts put a live comp on her insta. maybe she should get someone to edit one together from the concert footage

She should have made a video for it.

the Orbital version of BS is the best and they updated that one for Reinvention - Orbital is a big techno dj from the 90s

And who is "Orbital" from Bedtimes Story? That mix is so fucking cool I'd like to hear more of that work....

Love you too. Signed : that guy

Congratulations to Madonna for posting her most stupid message yet on social networks, and that's saying a lot. What a freegin' idiot she can be sometimes.

I’m not great at explaining music concepts because I haven’t had much formal musical training, but the two drum fills just... aren’t... the same. They're just different from each other. (Why don’t I have the words!?!?) My drums aren’t at my home right now, but if they were I would post videos of me playing each beat. The “Perfect Way” fill includes toms, snare, kick drum and hi-hat. The “Rain” fill is just toms, and is much simpler. “Perfect Way” is longer and with a longer pause in the middle. I think a big reason as to why drums and beats can’t be copyrighted and licensed as samples is because it’s so hard to tell two recordings of drums apart from each other. If I record myself hitting a couple drums, and you record yourself hitting a couple drums, and happen to mic it and mix it similarly, how could we ever discern if they were the same recording? It’s not like melody or harmony which is much more nuisanced and unique. I think that's what may be leading to the confusion here. It sounds like the two drum recordings are just similarly mixed/engineered.
