After much thought, I decided to not rush the megarates on Infinity. Because if the forum keeps running after March, I know i will regret my decision. The results reveal wouldn't have been as fun either, due to the lot of extra work needed and the results having to be extremely streamlined compared to having a proper results show. So yeah, here is a new megarate as you're used to. And let's cross the fingers the forum won't close @MPowered, @Daxkoba, @Holger, @MisterMistere, @TOpher, @Alexei, @Karma, @mirtillo, @Andreo, @desperateK, @stefo, @HC Charge, @Foreigner, @Danton, @musicinferno, @androiduser, @Unruhe, @sidney78a, @jesus, @Brendanlovesu1, @Enrico, @EgoRod, @Jet, @spinningaround, @migsou, @mcat, @Inco, @Drum Dub, @truevirgin, @frozen78, @MDNA22, @proxy, @Leandro Gomes, @Fontainebleau, @MadonnasPussy, @Tony Fortin, @patrice1711, @deathproof, @Polaris, @gst6662000, @Bohh, @Fernando, @Matty, @AntiSkilled, @Nowheretohide, @Roy, @Dj Garrido, @GhostOrchid, @chipie, @PanditaRulez

Hi everyone ! Since we'll soon be celebrating the 40th anniversary of Madonna's career (!!), and due to popular demand, I'll organize a megarate for every single Madonna album. Let's now see how the tracks from the Bedtime Stories era compete with each other. As requested by most users who participated in other games, non-album tracks from the corresponding era will also be included. Rules: - Make sure to know all the songs included in the competition. - Rate each song from 1 to 10. You are allowed to give the same rate to multiple songs. - Decimals are allowed only up to the hundredth (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WHEN YOU CAN IN ORDER TO AVOID TIES). - You are allowed to give one 0 and one 11 (OPTIONAL). - Send your rates to me by personal messenger before March 28th, NOT in the thread. Results: #1 - 9,63 - Secret #2 - 9,03 - Bedtime Story #3 - 8,98 - I'll Remember #4 - 8,78 - Human Nature #5 - 8,44 - Take a Bow #6 - 8,21 - Sanctuary #7 - 7,89 - Love Tried to Welcome Me #8 - 7,64 - Forbidden Love #9 - 7,60 - Inside of Me #10 - 7,39 - Survival #11 - 6,43 - Your Honesty #12 - 6,40 - I'd Rather Be Your Lover #13 - 5,93 - Don't Stop #14 - 5,68 - Let Down Your Guard #15 - 4,25 - Freedom Good luck to everyone!

Some of you are incredibly nasty with some of your comments about her image. She’s a human being, not your f*****g Barbie doll.

"He is more creative than Ritts, Klein, Mondino or Fincher."

Frankly I expected better from this remix, Frozen is one of my favorite songs and it deserved to be treated as it deserves. The remix is very simple, pure beats and Madonna's distorted voice and that's all when they could have added a greater variety of sounds and enriched the song more. It seems like the remix of a beginner who has just started in the world of music. And on the other hand again the collaborations. Madonna, when will you understand that your presence is more than enough for a song to be beautiful and of quality. I don't know if you do it for the charts but understand that you will never have a number one again for the reasons we all know (Ageism). I'm sick of collaborations ruining beautiful songs. Because of you, I'll have to study sound editing so I can skip the "guests" part and just listen to your beautiful voice, which is the only thing that interests me.

I am honestly shocked about the expectations bar being so unrealistically high from some Trying something new is not bad necessarily. You should also try to phrase your opinions like: "I believe XXXX is trash IN MY OPINION" cause whats happening here is not healthy. I think at times, do some people are really fans ? If they reject 10 whole years of artistic input are they really?

Tree of Life. Love it. “I climbed the Tree of Life, and that is why, no longer scared if I fall.”

I haven't posted anything about this project, so here is my opinion ; Bravo Madonna ! It's a very, very smart move and the quality is there. First, the remix is good, very well done and Fire Boy is amazing on the track, not the regular 'renta rapper", the guy has a voice and he has a unique way to rap that sounds like amazing singing, then Madonna had the intelligence not to re-record her vocals which is perfect cause it wouldn't have sounds as good as her original vocals so no needs to re-do it. Look wise she looks absolutely amazing. As i keep on saying for years, with the right hair and make up she stillcan look stunning and the new video proves it, and last, for the first time she succeeds to catch the attention of the young generation with is nothing but a record for a 63 woman. Personnaly i like it way better than all the official stuff she released these last years. The curly granny hair + eye patch + granny dress combo from Madame X was really bad in my opinion, but this new look is fierce. I'd also like to add to i think that Ricardo has a very positive influence on M's image and look, you can clearly see a huge difference since he started to be her official 'image guy' and he also did a great job with the Frozen video, it's like he took Madonna from the 50's inspired image she seemed to be stucked in and brought her in the present. Well done Madonna and Ricardo, way to go !

I don't really care if her features were erased in favour of a plump face. What worries me is that her moves have become robotic and clumsy and, like and automata, she's unable to communicate any single emotion with her face or body. When was the last time we saw her laugh? She used to laugh a lot and was such fun! What's become of her? Why does she look so angry and pissed off these last five years? I wonder if someone agrees with me here or it is just me, I don't know. Believe me, I'm not shading her, I'm just saying this in a state of sorrow. I want my Madonna back! A fembot took her place.

Just voted And let's not "Inside of Me" and "Love tried to welcome me" get the same underappreciation that the Andre Betts tracks got in the "Erotica" ratings please!

IMO the BEST one is from the first night in Paris !!Thats when I finally saw her live and she sounded really really good ❌?❌?

Kinda happy this forum is going away. Madonna's fandom has truly turned toxic...

To be honest I can not believe the way you write as if your opinion was the ultimate truth for everyone... when in fact it is just your opinion...

I love it

Why does the new stuff has to be better or worse than the older stuff ?! What about it being just different, no better no worst, just different.

Is any of it worth sharing?

I just came across a video on Youtube and during the very first seconds you can see a very short snippet from what looks like a video of her shooting with Scavullo in 1983. I guess there is more, maybe the whole shoot has been filmed. I had no clue some of her early photoshoots could have been filmed. Imagine if one day we get go see videos of her 80's photoshoots like the Like a Virgin album cover sessions or the Trube Blue one... It's incredible all the stuff that do exist and that we have no clue about... Youtube video : and the isolated Scavullo snippet from Twitter :

LIES NO ONE WANTS MDNA

Dude, go take a Xanax and listen to True Blue again already. You sound like a fool. (By the way, sorry @TonyMontana, not sure what happened here, but this response is NOT directed at you. You're a much needed voice of reason around here!)

@Shoful Nobody cares and wants any unreleased Madame X songs or demos, we want MDNA unreleased songs and demos!

BRAVO. On a positive note, this little making of clip on 2K:

Agree 100 xr cent.

Once I saw a print from a portuhuese guy saying he heard the demos and were more orchestral, better. I contacted him but never got an answer from him. I can tell you who he is

Oh this is so tough i love this album

Yeah, let's cross the fingers

So bickery in here again. JFC

Artpop not experimental? Interesting. And yes I’m sure we do. My taste bounces all over the place. But top 40 is definitely a great way to get a taste of what’s going on in a given year. Have you ever listened to Florence and the Machine? And Celine is good in her own respect. Ashes was a good soundtrack song. But anyways, I’ll leave it at that. Still jam to some MDNA randomly but I do understand it does come off as very after thought and uninspired. But I still found the l get in it as I try to do with all of M’s work and other artists. I just don’t find MDNA to be as bad as some albums I’ve listened to before haha

I listen to turn up the radio and it sounds like a pale imitation of this, the video for TuTR is okay tho

MDNA her worst era? Oh no, that would be since Madame x till today: Bith I´m loca, Maluma, Millions of people seeing her on tv singing her worst ever, eyepatches, hip surgery, concerts cancelled, bad reputation as a professional, poorest album sales ever, bath time videos speaking about covid being the great equalizer, strange face, lost of her body shape, terrible wigs, pleasing the tik tokers..MDNA era had one of her most beautiful songs ever (falling free), she had top ten single, the Superbowl succes, the amazing MDNA tour, she looked flawless...I´m sorry: you´re wrong!

Not everyone is coming to the future... You can stay in the past. Her legacy will always be there for all people to enjoy, even the ones that don't even know it - yet, and thanks to these trends will. But let her (and us) move on, please.

Over a million streams in two days on U-tube. Good for Madonna. I guess that alot of us appreciate the gift that it is without overanalyzing the piss out of it. It is fresh and fun. It is not a new era. Long live the Queen who continues to shut down her critics.

I think the age issue is rubbish and old hat. She can do whatever comes out of her pussy, I don't care. Instead, I do care about her grumpy attitude, her robotic moves, her expressionless face, her restrained and emotionless speech... and so on. She's like a doll nowadays. I'm mostly concerned about the quality of the music she puts out. And, judging by this remix, I would say it's far from good. I'm already tired and fed up of waiting for a Madonna comeback year after year, you know, the good old pop and dance music we had come to love, but she's is stubbornly determined to not give us that. I gather my days as a fan are coming to an end...

I’m trying my hardest to get some tea ?

Like Ghosttown, Heartbreak City, i Don't Search I Find, Love Spent, Falling Free, Living For Love, etc.? Cuz all of those are quality songs, and even the ones released as singles or with videos didn't seem to do much to expand her fan base. Whether you like this remix or not, it's getting a LOT of attention, and it's clearly not just from her hard-core fan base, which is obviously pretty divided on it. It doesnt do much for me personally (mainly because, as others have noted, it's almost more of a sample than a remix) but I just can't understand "fans" that are so intent on putting her down for doing this. It strikes me that a lot of the people who object to her doing this are the same ones bitching about her face and ass and body, as though they should have any say-so over such a personal decision as body modifications. They can deny that it's agist all they want, but I can deny that I'm 20 lbs overweight too. It doesnt mean that it's not true. I mean, you don't have to like the song, but shouldn't people be more interested in celebrating her successes rather than endlessly complaining about a 2 minute, one-off side project that she did while planning a barrage of fan-friendly reissues and a biopic? What's the point of even being here of you don't wish her success?

Exactly, records released by female poptars at that time were pure trash. When americans decided to rebrand dance music as EDM it became this generic putrid awful thing David Guetta trash for festivals. I can't believe there are MDNA apologists...SHE DID NOT EVEN REALLY WRITE more than half of these tracks !

What do y'all think about her new tattoo?

I don't think they are being quiet, I think the 50 #1 remix compilation is the first project and they've already talked about it. We probably won't get another project until Erotica in October, and that will be announced shortly before in September

I count myself among her old fans... fan since end 1984, 55 years old... and I like the mix ;-)

Waiting weaker than Word.............no no no I don't think so

and you can't trust the SST DVD because her voice was higly corrected with editing
