  2. Which comeback/return to glory? Emancipation? Or her recent commercial for the potato chips?

  7. Not true, the first section is about her awful childhood, the middle section is about her abusive marriage to Tommy Mottola once she was famous, and the third section deals with her comeback/return to glory.

  10. Couldn't it be one of the few Madonna mentions throughout the book? I mean, Madonna was possibly the biggest pop star in the world when Mariah started out. And the mere mention of "the age"... sounds sneaky to me.

  11. Yeah, they seem to have pretty much buried the hatchet. Which is great, because they're both supremely talented and far better than petty arguments.

  15. If you were to have helped Madonna with one of her music videos, which one would you have chosen? You can pick more than one if you want. Being I’m so love with her work as a Geisha, I would pick Nothing Really Matters. Ghosttown would have been my second choice for the costuming and the tango.

  16. Love the box set - they planned a real Limited Edition at the time (black faux leather book with real leather straps, I have one of the real test productions) - but it was cancelled! There were a bunch of counterfeits years ago (with a real leather book - because they were making fakes off of pictures of the few real ones).

  17. The audiobook is amazing. Hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time, while a lot of these facts were known, there are still plenty of revelations, insight into her songwriting process and lyrics, and fascinating anecdotes.

  18. Eh. I expected more considering their feud, which if I remember correctly was started by Madge when she made that rather tasteless joke about killing herself if she were Mariah Carey. It was just Madge's dark sense of humor of course, but I can see why Mariah was rather cold towards her in the years that followed. I've seen other excerpts from the book and Mariah subtly shades Celine Dion and Jennifer Lopez, so I expected her to say bad things about Madge as well.

  19. The original release had a dub on the B-Side of the 12''. The reason I remember it so well was there was a brief moment when this 'Dub of Doom' was a DJ must have. I re-sold several 12'' 'coz DJ's were gagging for that track and the import was not available. So any 'dub' would do. Extended Mix should mean that a song is just longer but yeah, they are all meaningless terms now. It was Dub Can't Turn Around that made number one and that has a vocal on it....

  21. I agree but I think Madonna did all that for publicity. She knew it would get everyone talking. It would have been nicer if she'd spoken to Gaga about it, considering Gaga had a drug problem and mental health issues and as we saw in her doco she was deeply effected by Madonna's comments.

  22. That’s my least favorite thing about Madonna, her snarky tongue at times when she shoulda said something graceful and dismissive (i.e. that “reductive” comment totally backfired IMO)... she should rise above, that’s what she preaches in her songs anyway.

  23. The thing is Rosie and Mariah and Debi Mazar and Mariah have been friendly over the years. So they sort of travelled in the same circles. Considering the horrible childhood Mariah had, and Madonna losing her mother. The two could have been friendly, had Madonna not been so judgemental back then. Mariah did like Madonna until Madonna made those "I'd kill myself" comments when asked what she would do if she were Mariah. If you read through the 1993 letter that leaked where she trashed Whitney and Sharon Stone and the 1996 Evita Diaries, you get the sense Madonna was in a bitter mood post Erotica until her daughter was born. If there was ever tension between them, it was as a result of Madonna's comments and Mariah biting back with "I used to like her in 8th grade when she was popular" That was it. It is unfortunate, as both are intelligent and talented women who had tough lives. That could've bonded them, but petty stupid stuff got in the way. I always found it odd that Madonna disliked Whitney and Mariah for doing commercial tripe with no meaning and not taking risks. But she Loooooved Liza Minnelli??????? I mean I love Liza too, but I also love Whitney and Mariah. What's the difference Madonna???

  28. "I could emulate the popular Madonna studio technique, but with my voice alone". Slightly shady, isn't it? But quite light for Mariah standards LOL. Although Madonna was "competing" for the charts with her in the 90's, particularly in 94/96, the rivalry was always a fan thing more than anything. Mariah's true "competitors" were Big voiced Divas as Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. Mariah was never a pop diva as Lauper, Janet Jackson or Grace Jones whom were all much more compared and put against Madonna.

  31. They are like chalk and cheese and obviously dont drift in the same worlds as each other hence why they dont talk about each other very often apart from the catty comments in the mid-90s they made to each other which is history now. Im team Madonna all the way anyway but ive ordered MC new rarities album which includes a blu-ray of her daydream tour - its a japan only release of course ! :(

  33. Mariah has never been close friends with Madonna so I don’t see why she would discuss her extensively in the book. I assume she would primarily discuss her close friends, people she dated or people she worked with.

  34. I think fan wars are stupid especially when they go to the head of the said singers. Madonna doing BTW during MDNA was a real faux pas. Who better than Madonna, Mariah and Gaga can understand better what they go through and live ? They could be the best support they could have. Gaga pretty much fucked up the relation when she wanted to stir away from Madonna and started not mentionning her as an inspiration after BTW. It's funny to read that Seymour Stein had Mariah's demo first meaning what all people who saw Glitter guessed right, Mariah knows Madonna's history and appropriated it in the movie.

  36. I totally agree. When she's laid back and move and dance freestyle she looks the best. Much better than an eye patch, a granny hairdo and one two step one two cha cha cha.

  37. Impact: Sticky & Sweet Tour Superbowl Artistic value: MDNA Tour Madame X Songs that are in the same league as the classics of 82/05 but not necessarily Hits IMHO: 4 Minutes Give It 2 Me She's Not Me Celebration I'm Addicted Gang Bang Love Spent Living for Love Devil Pray Ghosttown Medellín God Control Crave Batuka I Don't Search I Find (And I think that Girl Gone Wild and Bitch I'm Madonna will be remembered points in her career but I still think both are shit).

  38. 4 Minutes popularity. It was huge! Sticky & Sweet, an amazing, joyful and full of energy tour. The Superbowl halftime show. Gang Bang, the true outstanding of MDNA. MDNA Tour, great show, very theatrical. The Rebel Heart era promo. It was the best of her last albums, she was all over the world doing performances and interviews. Madame X era. Literally everything about this era was flawless, the album, the music, the reinvention, the music videos, the theater tour. Beautiful, all of it!

    Madonna Vinyl

    @chaseturtlebasically everything apart from GHV2 (the picture disc is a bootleg) and the Evita soundtrack had an official vinyl release. The 2009 Celebration 4 LP set is by far the rarest and the most expensive of the bunch, followed by 2012 MDNA and 2008 Hard Candy. You can find the rest for a decent price on Ebay, Discogs or Amazon.

  42. She is ofcourse exceptionally beautiful, and ofcourse we see it's so Madonna. But in all honesty she seems abit of an airhead in the pictures, ''im so hot'' that type of vibe. i dont see the focus, the intelligence spark, the determination to conquer. Im not sure if she could do it, we do need an exceptional actress for the mannerisms and aura of Madonna in moving picture. And it has to be believable. She has to dare to not always be the perfect dolled up picture perfect madonna. Madonna too like us all has her darker aspects, and uglier sides to our poersonality. We all do. Thats what makes her fascinating. She really fought her way up. And she had both glorious and darker moments. (this is why i cant help but love her brothers book) and what would make a good movie). That wont always have angelic lighting and looking like a doll into the camera. But thats why im nervous of Madonna directing this herself to begin with, not gonna lie. That it will be all too pretty, too concerned with how she is remembered, and mild. And the person she is writing it with seems to agree with anything Madonna says. The more real the movie will be of her story, the better it will be (and received). Because her true story is so extraordinairy and captivating. So cliché to say but we do need the raw-ness. the unprettyness as well. I have a feeling this girl thinks it will just be one big glamourous thing to do. Like does she actually know Madonna inside out yet? I mean very well could be, i dont know. Can she have the pizzazzzzzz and power, dressed in a suit? There has always been a masculine aspect of Madonna as well, i think that is why she is even more appealing. She has done it all

  43. Any of the Fincher videos to learn about lighting a subject. He's a master at how to light videos and working with shadows. I think he's a interesting director who really studied cinema from the Weimar era and mastered his craft. Look at how he frames his shots and uses composites as well in anything he's done from Alien 3 onwards. Like @VogueristaI'm also interested in the geisha, kabuki and butoh influences in Madonna's videography (Takara, Nothing Really Matters, Paradise) and would have liked to have seen it taken a lot further. I feel her approaches were far too watered down for western audiences and would have been interested to hear what more she knows about these art forms, if it goes beyond Memoirs of a Geisha and she's actually been to Japanese theatres or if it's merely superficial. I would have liked to have seen the sari look developed more. It was beautiful with the 1999 Rolling Stone shoot and the VH1 Fashion Awards of that year, together with the outfit for MTV's Shanti/Ashtangi performance. I would've been interested in working on lighting and set design for an official video to that song and seeing it go the route of a devotional Bollywood film homage. Again, would be interesting to hear her thoughts on Bollywood cinema history as so much of it fixed on song, dance and spectacle, three elements she has experience with but from a western perspective.

  47. Hi guys, this is the project I have recently been working on. It contains most of the songs M performed during her acoustic segment. IT'S A VERY LOW Q RENDER! I did that on purpose for several reasons, one was upload time, one is other people re–uploading claiming the work as their own, and because it's not even close to finished. Anyway, have fun! Songs included are: Living for Love (Tokyo Day 1) La Isla Bonita (Tokyo Day 1/ Showtime release hybrid) Don't tell me (Tokyo Day 1) Take a Bow (Tokyo Day 2/Sydney HQ hybrid) Rebel Heart (Tokyo Day 1&2/Sydney HQ hybrid) Like a Prayer (Stockholm/Sydney HQ hybrid) Ghosttown (Ellen show recording/Guitar cover hybrid) Secret (DWT recording edit) Crazy for You (Virgin Tour/RIT hybrid) Please let me know what you think, if you are interested in a full edit AND if you can help me out here with some screen recording I tried to scavange for quite some time now. Lol

  48. it's hard to find good mixes on the last years because of technology on my opinion. You have work like Shep who added and create new instruments to a mix. I think now because the amount of software to create music without knowing music it all sound up a bit of the same. It's people building beats and loops and adding acappellas.

  49. I know, I know. I don't have any problem to say that I'm a Madonna's fan thanks to her remixes. I never ever buy full albums (except for Madonna). I only buy singles and maxi-singles because I want edits, remixes and dubs. But in the last decade I've rarely found good remixes (in my opinion) and now I prefer the album versions.
