  1. It's slightly worse than Eddie's song, Walking Down the Road

  2. At this point her only chance at success is if she cleans up her image and becomes a more demure older legacy act. And of course delivers music that’s commercially viable. But as long as she has her tits out on instagram and filters her face to look 26 and keeps up with the trends of young hip artists nobody will take her seriously even if she makes the best music ever. she needs to start showing her age and longevity and be proud of it and demand respect for that. And find a more unique identity as she used to have

  4. I think if Madonna opened the vault tomorrow and released on digital every official song/remix, every demo, every unreleased track/remix, some people would still be bitching! “But… where is the LAP Australian radio edit?!?” 😂

  6. There are only two commerically released M songs that I find unlistenable - I've listened to Hey You a few times in 2007 and never since, I intensely dislike it. The second, Autotune Baby, I have heard twice back when it became available and never again.

  7. lol and Madame X was penny pinching too? She paid from her own pocket to make 4 expensive videos and she never got that money back. She also paid for the Madame X tour and she could have easily cash in on the insurance money and cancel the tour instead of putting on show after show in terrible pain. She made no money from that tour either until the Paramount deal.

    2022: Madonna's Comeback?

    Stupid. If she's happy with herself showing her tits why the hell should she stop? It's literally 2022 and we have so many young people spreading awareness of body and sex positivity and respect of sex workers onlyfans etc yet Madonna who was very much a trailblazer for that movement in the 90s is excluded from it just bedcause of her age. Enraging. Not to mention how boring AF she was for Ghosttown yet that didnt go anywhere. I'd rather Madonna be happy showing off her tits without having a hit again as opposed to her changing herself to get "respect" which everyone should f*cking have regardless if you're a slut or not. Daft.

  11. Hey You has few issues in the basics to be a pop or interesting song. There's not strong structure nor catchy chorus or bridge. It hasn't got a build up nor any tension or pause. You can compare to many of the slow hits she has like Live to tell, I want you even Take a bow, they all have a nice backbone and melodic story line. Hey You is like when everyone is around the bonfire enjoying the sunset and the holistic drunk grabs the guitar and starts some kumbaya to mother earth and feeling blessed. Ruining the evening for everyone that don't want to sing-a-long. Hey You is Love Makes the world go round sang by Esther. The message is so full on and trite , it feels like a parody. And the video is pretentious and dated, like something from the 80s.

  14. I really didn't like Hey You when it first came out. I think I didn't like the high parts, sounded weird. especially when she said "don't rely on anyone else".... but I've come to adore that song. But I'm gonna have to go with History. I will say officially, that song has gone down in this modern day time as one of the biggest wasted opportunities of her career. That song is SO pertinent to SO many issues we have seen this past decade. But instead we got Secret Project Revolution and God Control... sorry don't come at me @Shoful

  18. I am fixated on Hey You today! I do not understand it. Anybody ever get an obscure M song stuck inside their head? I think that the only cure is a full stream of Finally Enough Love.

  19. For the videos that’s how music videos work. The label fronts the artist the money to make a video and then they take it from your share of the sale. And all those videos were high budget and the sales were very low so she probably ended up spending all the money she made on the videos. For MXT I was lucky to get insight directly from people involved in production and privy to the tour financials. They said she’s footing the bill and her goal is to break even since she was very passionate to put on some sort of a tour for the album.

  20. Glasto is the greatest music festival and platform in the world. No comparison. It just… it’s special. The vibe there is unparalleled and That’s not easy to create. I think she’s buzz her tits off doing something like that but she’s need to get past the nerves and like I think I said before… ten years ago she’d have killed it. Confessions era was really when she should have done Glasto tbh. a collapse. I don’t think she can hold a general audience in her hand now like she could have done back then. She’s hasnt played to the peanut gallery for nearly 15 yrs. it’s front row fanatics now which is largely the problem. I fear a Glasto could be disastrous. She’s need to do it at the end of a tour run so she’s rehearsed to fuck.

  21. She did not played the guitar on Gone, but I deserve it. Gone performance is the most emotional she has been on stage ever, probably, this and Love spent.

  22. There’s a proper cute little Madonna midtempo/ballad on “Hey You” under that terrible production. Pharrell couldn’t care less and it shows. With another producer the result would be much better, in my opinion.

  24. Talking about "Hey You", I don't hate it but I'll say a phrase from "South Park": I never play it because is cheesy, but lame and eerily soothing at the same time.

  26. I like "Heh you" and never understood the hate it git and still gets to this day. "Hey you" was the first track M recorded after the Confessions era and her first time working with Pharell. Even though Pharell is an urban producer she didn't jump on the bandwagon and made him produce something totally different than his usual rnb productions. The reception of the track has been horrible by the fans and she then decided to go for Pharell's traditionnal rnb productions and that's how we got Candy shop and all his tracks Hard Candy. I do believe that if the reception of "Hey you" was good she would have gone for a less urban album and a more "preachy/etheral" sound. "Hey you" was a test in my opinion.

  28. I fucking can't stand Hey You. I think it's worse than Autotune Baby. I couldn't even sing you the song cause I fortunately have only listened to it a couple times in my life. I LOVE History (Land of the Free). The released version is kinda bad, it's too spacey and more like an extended remix or something . But Land of the Free i fucking bop to and feel empowered especially with everything going on in the world. Do Madame X album cuts count as obscure songs? Cause I sing Killers, Extreme Occident, Batuka, and Crazy till the cows come home every single day

  38. Everything she does is for money. She has homes and staff to pay for. Her decisions sometimes are NOT artistic, but how much she can make. Sticky & Sweet Part II? Get her divorce money back. She does deals because friends need favours. MDNA Skin...you think she came up with that? It was already made, they contacted her to promote it. She interfered and started changing things. Same with the perfume. And gyms. And clothes... Once upon a time she married art and commerce well, now it's just money. Does Aldo Diaz even get paid what a professional designer would? Of course not. Cheap labor. Cut corners. Penny pinch.

  46. I think it would be wise to let go of any chart dreams for Madonna. Whilst her fight against ageism is noble and right, what 12-30 year old really has any interest in that? When you are in the throws of youth do you really care that a 64 yr old pop star who's had everything has an issue with being overlooked for younger more relevant artists? I'm not saying it's right or wrong I'm just saying that's the way it is. She comes across as either wildly immature on socials or has an axe to grind about something. There's very little in between a lot of the time. Yes there's been some highly edited serves picture wise but aside from being a fascinating insight to the latter days of the worlds biggest star, she's sadly nothing more than a curio for the majority of the record buying / streaming public. They just....don't have an opinion on her cause she really holds no relevance to them. Her last sizeable solo hit in truth was Hung Up when todays 30 year old would have been what? 12/ 13 just as that generation would have been becoming financially valid in terms of music buying / engagement then she's largely faded into the background or seen as the older woman who came for Gaga. As for 30-40 they're in the work years busy living their lives and having kids (outside of the gays)..and when you're grinding hard to make ends meet in some of the toughest economic times in recent history (the last 15 years have been economically disastrous), one of the richest women in the world bemoaning on her socials or flaunting her extreme wealth, doesn't go down too well. 40+ers will generally remember her nostalgically but wonder "what the hell has she done to herself". I can't tell you how many people who I know who have loved her and who are sane reasonable people with a libertarian view, say this. They will want a slice of nostalgia but wouldn't be able to hum a bar of anything past 2005 and will likely only remember the last 15 years of her career for The Brits fall, Eurovision, Her ever morphing body and the Gaga comments. Most 60+ ers will see a peer to whom they can no longer relate. I'm just not sure who Madonna thinks her audience is anymore. There will always be pockets of girls and gays who shout "go on girl" " good for you" "live your best life" "yass queen" and a bunch of people who respect her choices and the voice she has given gay people, the AIDS crisis and female empowerment...but let's be honest. Madonna has started playing to the hardcore fans who buy multiple tickets in the front rows of many of her concerts...and that..isn't the general public. Whilst I have no judgement on that crowd at all..free world, you do you etc...that type of engagement will never transpose in to hitting the wider GP's pockets and hearts. Her socials are nothing short of damaging to her career at this point and while I personally love and adore her and will ALWAYS support and follow her til the end, I am under no illusions. The general view of her is far far far from my own. More often she is simply passed on as uninteresting and "not for me" or "ugh she's at it again" While she is on the right side of history for many many many reasons her commercial viability is......sort of lost in the wilderness a little. Bands like The Bee Gees / ABBA / Queen / Elton / Cher / Fleetwood Mac, some of whom who are still commercially active, have a great like-ability factor and the focus is largely on their past endeavours. I think the biopic really is her last chance to turn a tidal wave of public opinion around and in truth that's the only way to commercial success. Were in an era of like-ability more than ever....and if you don't LIKE or LOVE or FOLLOW someone..you simply don't appear in the world (socials) therefore you don't exist. The world has changed and I think most of the next chapters are just for us until her reappraisal happens and the bowler hat hits the stage floor for the last time.
