@WhitePandafound it and shared the file here yesterday.

THANK YOU!!! Finally, someone gets it. The last four albums truly do have incredible music on them, and it's a real shame that so much of this work doesn't get the proper respect and credit it truly deserves, especially from some 'fans'. As someone who has consumed the pop music of the last 30 something years, and certainly seen what some of these acts of the last 10 to 15 years have put out, I will gladly take M's contemporary work any day over this other "stuff". Particularly from some of the obvious names previously mentioned in this thread, who, in my opinion, are nothing but derivative, glorified tribute acts to everything better that has come before in the last 30-something years. Thanks, but no thanks. Not to mention her tours, that in the last decade are just as ambitious and artistically driven as they've ever been. I can't see any of these others continuing on as such, on that level, into their 40s, 50s, and 60s, while refusing to settle into nostalgia act territory. Let alone pulling back and reinventing once again in a theater format. Then there's her music video game that brought some of her strongest visual work she's done with just the last album alone. That doesn't touch on her tour visuals which are a work of art unto themselves. (Let alone conception, design, staging and choreography). Sadly, I feel that she can't even catch a break with her own fanbase at times. And sadly, this 'third chapter' (and the incredible, unprecedented things it's bringing that you will NOT see from these others) won't truly be understood, nor appreciated, until many years from now. Such is life.

Omg i really love this version So much more madonna than in the original video ❤️♥️ https://youtu.be/mMQIhDu1jmM

that poor woman is just trying to be silly, but us starved pack of hyenas don't want a circus dance right now, we want the meats!

Sycophants on a fan forum should never be a shock, but somehow, they always are. The lack of any critical thought towards Madge is seen as a virtue, when it's anything but. You just turn into mindless "Yes" people, while performing mental gymnastics to uplift even the worst bits into godlike successes.

GIIIIIIRRRRRRLLLLL. GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF!!!!

Me too bitch! Let’s all form a cha cha line and chant “One two cha cha cha”

People love to moan and complain about stuff we know nothing about. There still isn’t a release date set.

The way the Frozen remixes aren’t even listed as scheduled for streaming yet! Why mom why? feb 23 is imminent and we get... Sorry 2 track ? FML

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I NEED THE TOUR VERSION OF FUTURE.

I can’t believe our daily Instagram post was wasted on that old picture of her instead of an MXT edit update. WE NEED IT

I can hardly contain my excitement. no please its too much mama is keeping us fed etc

it's gonna be a great release. The live concert was really good. The vibe will be there, it is impossible not to have the theatre vibe from footage inside a theatre. There were a few things happening on stage that would be highlighted for sure, maybe some fast cuts here and there. Before the tour starts, there were musicians playing on the side of the stage instrumental acoustic versions of 4-5 of her tracks to warm up the people. That was a nice vibe and hope it will be included of some sort. The tour intro is really good and sets the mood. expecting fast pace editing that leads to her entrance. God Control has to be slow in the beginning and then ramp up. Dark Ballet she's on the piano, the dancers with masks dance to contemporary style choreo, loved it. Would be nice visually. Human Nature would have to include close ups, very nice visuals in the circle space and the highlight, the headstand as well another highlight her playing the conga drums. Express Yourself could be included , would be nice to have this moment. Madame X Manifesto and the mirror part, stunning. Plus a few speeches here and here in between. Vogue fast paced editing hopefully! I Don't Search I Find with a nice retro cinematic editing, very nice performance Polaroid section, hope it includes many segments from various shows! American life, finally the rap part live but hope to be recorded again over in studio , to sound live but better cause she screamed so much it was a bit painful! Coffin intro very moving interesting concept! Set the mood for Batuka. Batuka , personal highlight! Batukadeiras emerge from the crowd, M looks stunning and it is very intimate and powerful! Fado introduction and fado song cover to set the mood for Killers. Killers , very intimate too. Overall that section was super intimate and that would def. reflect on the edit. Crazy was good, expect a chill vibe. Welcome to my fado club..1 2 cha cha cha ... got the floor moving and she was having fun! Sodade, again super intimate! expecting very chill editing and vibes. Countdown in portuguese, Medellin intro + Medellin , an ethnic party, expecting fast paced editing! Beer section and crowd interaction felt very organic, hopefully this will also reflect on camera. Extreme Occident, the choreo and stage setup + lighs were amazing, roads highlighted on the stage then M on spinning stairs, expecting a great edit there! Justify, contemporary dance intro Frozen, highlight + lola + M in the center and no other words necessairy. Come Alive, bright and colorful, dancing and fast edits here and there. Future, M playing the piano and using extra lyrics, highlight for me! Can't wait to see the closeups! Crave, loved the remix, fun edit! Like a Prayer, highlight, got the whole floor up and dancing. I rise, powerful encore, Madonna leaves amidst the crowd. +++ Would not mind if between sections the live was cut and there was backstage or discussions about culture to introduce certain parts of the show. For many crowed the heavy cultural influences she had this era especially from Portugal are not really understood or appreciated. +++ Her vocals were the best vocals we got from her on a live tour since Drowned World and when we hear it I believe we ll be more than satisfied!! She sounded amazing live!! well that's all for me. expecting a really cool outcome, keeping my positivity and appreciating this amazing period of time where Madonna (re)discovered a lot of things and that reflected on her work. I understand that everyone has their preferences and the fans come from very different places and backgrounds but this era should be appreciated and celebrated as artistically, it was insanely good! I don't miss her anger and I do welcome her vulnerability . To finish this off, although I tried to keep it positive it is really starting getting on my nerves the name calling and the constant struggle to undermine her while supporting her. She's Madonna, she's not anyone's bitch, she will never give you want you want but she will always give you something you never knew you wanted and I wish people would stop being so bitter about it. If you made it through all of this, thank you for your time !

It looks like from these clips shes not editing it, but just reviewing new changes she prob requested.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLVORERh_-3/?igshid=45mra2y8t8fw Does she realize no one is asking her to do this sacrifice? Hopefully with her eyes constantly on the phone she gets distracted and some scenes are saved!

She definitely isn't voiceless or talentless. I'm not a huge fan but some of her live performances have really blew me away. She has a great voice, there is no question about it. She might not be to your style but she can definitely sang!

I dont believe in biblical mythology with concepts like 'the devil aka satan' to begin with, so the whole thing is just a joke to me. You know what scares me more than anything, people jumping to conclusions based on a vague feeling they have, that you can't reason with and already made up their mind that no matter what they are right. Those type of people are capable of anything. Conspiracy theories and delusions seem to become more and more prevalent and social media plays into their delusion.

This makes me wanna listen to MDNA REEEEAL BAAAAD.

This is why I wanted "Illuminati" as a single with a Jonas Akerlund video. Should have went all the way with it and had world leaders pussy popping on a handstand while she transformed into a lizard queen and doing shots of adrenochrome and making it rain chemtrails at the club. Missed opportunity.

What’s so cringeworthy here?

@HollywoodXno offence did you sign up just to post this insanity or ...

Are you a Russian bot? If you don’t understand what something is, you really shouldn’t be shouting from a rooftop about it. First of all the topic being discussed has NOTHING to do with Black Lives Matter. so I’m sorry to everyone for continuing this, but somethings just have to be done. Second... anyone who takes a full two minutes out of their life and googles what BLM want... it isn’t to completely get rid of police. It is to make them less responsible for non violent crimes. They will still respond to violent crime. But there is no need for police with guns to respond to every single thing. The money they save will then be put into programs that help the community. People of color are being shot because they were asleep in their car. Had someone WITHOUT a gun and a bad attitude responded to the call, this person would still be alive. George Floyd was suspected of using a counterfeit 20 Dollar Bill. That should not have been a death sentence. Eric Garner was selling loose cigarettes... and last but not least, just because you are half Black or mixed or whatever you identify as, you can still be racist and/or dumb. Donald Trump isn’t a racist because he’s a Republican. He’s a racist because he’s openly said racist shit about Mexicans, made fun of the disabled, is constantly trying to strip away transgendered rights, calls Black Lives Matter protestors thugs and violent criminals, but calls white supremacists “very fine people” and white protestors with Assault Rifles angry patriots, or whatever the hell he said. Harassed Obama claiming he wasn’t American or was a Muslim... His entire campaign is run on fear. Saying racist shit about China. It’s the China flu... blah blah blah... Maybe it did come from there, but were the #1 country of Covid now... because of him and his dumb ass. We’re 6 months into a pandemic and he just YESTERDAY urged people to wear a mask for the first time. You should really consider stop watching Fox News and pull your fucking head out of your ass.

You're right, not all his supporters are white supremacists, but they are all stupid as fuck.

When Cher talked about the infamous Miley Cyrus performance of vmas at 2013, Cher mentioned about Madonna too and I think that it's spot on! “She(=Miley Cyrus) took a chance, so you got to give her something for that, and I must say I haven't given her anything because I didn't like it. If the chick had come out naked and done a great performance doing the same things, I would have said, you know, great… I don’t like the fact that it wasn’t good.” “If Madonna had come out and done that, she would have done it, you know? You would have thought, it’s on the borderline, but it’s so great, who cares? And I don’t think that’s what she(=Miley Cyrus) did, you know, it’s my professional opinion.” If Madonna had come out and done that, she would have done it, you know? You would have thought, it’s on the borderline, but it’s so great, who cares? So true. That is what distinguishes Madonna from other ordinary average pop stars.

"Get Together" is one of her finest moments ever. And it deserved a video that reflected that. Total missed opportunity in that respect. Still a tremendous song with a total non event for a video, no one in the general public remembers. I have always said if "Get Together" and "Jump" had videos that were cohesive with "Hung Up" and "Sorry", they would have been much bigger. Confessions could have been turned into an incredible movie musical. Hopefully someone does it one day.

Wait until they re-release the Hey You single EP we’ll be bouncin off walls!

Forgive me, but Pet Shop Boys are the most overrated band under the sun (OK, maybe second most overrated, after Oasis). Neil Tennant's "singing" makes me want to self-harm and apart from "Rent" and "West End Girls" their singles haven't aged very well. I'd defy any average member of the public to name 5 of their songs, despite having 22 top 10 hits in UK. Madonna had 3 times the amount. Not even in the same league.

You were with her on the editing room of TOD?! ? OMG.

Apparently I'm a top poster in this thread! So I just stopped in to say Hallelu. And God Save The Queen's Madame X Tour.

You never saw her editign TOD, for what we know maybe she was just the same. You all deserve Gaga that releaed ONE of her tours lol.

The ending of Dark Ballet was odd. Instead of becoming weirder and even more energetic with that Tchaikovsky sample as a finisher, it ends unexpectedly.

I'd love for Cher to explain what was the storyline behind the "If I Could Turn Back Time" video, where she's running around half naked on a navy ship. The nuance of the plot was lost on me somehow .

You don’t have to look, there’s been one inside you the entire time.

I mean, if Madonna did it, there would have been at least a small storyline that would justify the reason she did it. I can't think of any storyline to wear a nude body suit and twerk on Beatleguise with a sports finger.

I have a feeling @HollywoodXwas the guy in the story.

Interesting thread. When she decided to be Lady of the Manor, then shifting back to Popstar, but without the magic touch she once had ("Confession" being an exeption). And then there's Gaga, social media, the bathtub, Aretha Franklin, Nothing Compares, Eurovision, Drake (that fool). Oh well, I think that to a certain point she's enjoying herself more these days. It's like she has this LIFE, and not just her career. God bless.

Get together, Jump, the Hard Candy artwork / hair during the era, Give it 2 me and the Celebration video with white walls again... did more damage than what they expected. Gaga, Katy Perry and Rihanna had amazing videos on that time, so everyone wondered 'why Madonna is calling herself the Queen if her videos are so cheap'. It was so obvious that she only invested on herself when something had to sell and she thought that only her name will sell, even if the video was a shit. When she returned with good videos like Give me all your luvin', Ghosttown, and Bitch I'm Madonna, she was already a follower.

If she had become cheesy she would be very popular. Look at elton John and cher and even gaga, that's what they do basically. The problem with Madonna is that she never does what people expect of her, it does not mean that what she does is good, it's just that she does not behave the way social media imposes to people how to behave. She triggers uneasiness in people. That's the contrary of cheesy.

She didn't become anything in particular. It seems you just stopped liking her - or liking her as much as you did before. And that's OK, we all change. I agree with you though there was a shift in 2013-2014 when she started looking at her past and referencing herself for the first time. The Super Bowl "happy faces", while she was playing safe, no doubt, have always been there since "Holiday"! Part of her "making people happy" performance face: Super Bowl was a huge celebration so she was playing that game.

Well, a while ago, Madonna had a coven, and she was the Supreme. Inside the coven there were other witches, with their talents and powers, and one of them could be, at anytime, the next Supreme, rising and destroying the magic of the actual Supreme, Madonna, but nobody expected that her reign would last almost 40 years, unbothered. Some names that tried to be the one, were Britney Spears, but failed bc she was trapped in hell (conservatorship) and Lady Gaga, that turned out to be just a failure as the others that were falsely acclaimed before her. But, this coven had one special witch, called Misty Day, sorry, Kylie Minogue, a gypsy soul that didn't want to be the next supreme, just live her best life. For some, Kylie was the only one that had the potential to beat Madonna's reign, but, in the end, as the others, never did.

No, sorry, I still don't speak stupid. Never mind, you seem fluent in it, and I guess as long as you're happy in your own head, that's all that matters.

also... just so we are clear... the cops are not afraid of false cries of police brutality... especially not 10 years ago. take a look at all of these scared cops. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/14/nyregion/nypd-george-floyd-protests.html oh and also... I live in New York City. THE most diverse place in the world. So do please go on...

I confess I am a Led Zepellin fan in the closet

I wonder if it's more about her being a female who is in power and not ever backing down. Some people can't stand it. Some try hard to knock her from her pedestal, but she keeps forging ahead. So then people start making crazy things up, like convincing people she's part of some satanist occult. This isn't new though. She's been accused of this for decades, but you are right she is far too tame for those with common sense to buy into this narrative.

But satanists do believe in God just as much as any christian believes in the Devil. What's your point? An atheist would see both as myths and that's hardly lack of respect and it hasn't been "pooped" or brought up here. It's just hard to believe that a Madonna fan would be off putting by religious imagery when 80% of her artiststry is based on that.

The Christians will always label thing they neither like nor agree with to be 'demonic' or 'satanic'. Just cast it all aside into the crazy pile
