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

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

Where is it though? Huh?!? HUH!!!!! Where is the Australian edit representation in this northern hemisphere centric forum!?!??

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?!?” 😂

Oh... I'm not sure. I listened to "Hey You" once.

Someone has a problem with tomatoes.

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.

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.

Finally Enough Bum

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.

I think of SEX as a guilty pleasure, I remember loving it so much at the very first listen and thinking it would also be a massive fan fave lol

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.

A compilation of 50 #1 is NOTHING???? Wow... I'm speechless

If you can't stop singing Hey You, its a good thing you don't live with me because I would shoot you.

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

Bring back Kevin Reagan!!!

And I’d like you to share more of yours.

Anyone that hates Causing a commotion has to leave

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now you're going to give @Sultrysully even a harder time with this song stuck in his head now. XD

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.

The first compilation is coming literally next month. That’s hardly “nothing” except for “nothing” of what you expected, maybe?

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.

Hey you Don't you give up It's not so bad There's still a chance for us You, right now:

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

Leaked picture of me trying to get my boyfriend to bed after *one* glass of wine

Get Together Demo version. Come.... on.... over.... here.

Some people still haven’t found what they’re looking for… and it shows. I hope they do.

Blocked!

I’m curious about the “ remastering “ on this so far - has it just been boosted so it sounds like 2022 music or do we think they went to the multi tracks ? I’m serous thinking it’s the former lazy option 🤨

It would make sense there were basically no new videos made for backdrops. 😢 One of the best things Madonna concerts used to have.

You were correct, unfortunately. It's not even in the top 100 in the UK 😭

Lawdy! Lol

I'm sorry but I think you need to be put down

I really liked the non-chronological track-listing for Celebration. When an artist has such a long pop career it's quite effective to mix up the old and the new so that no single era is favoured. Pet Shop Boys did something similar on PopArt and it was a refreshing change from the linear Old to New that is usual for a singles compilation. The mastering was sodding awful though.

I don't have a problem with Causing a Commotion but Candy Shop is better and Funana is better and Don't Stop is better too

Causing a Commotion is that bitch. If you can’t bop to it, then you can’t be a Madonna fan. It’s in the contract.

They kinda hinted LiveNation offered her more money they were open to offer her. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2007/oct/11/musicnews.digitalmedia "It is understood that Warner walked away from talks about a new contract with Madonna last week after deciding that matching Live Nation's offer would not make financial sense and would let down shareholders. Warner's head Edgar Bronfman Jr has not referred specifically to Madonna's departure but did make his stance on such negotiations clear in a recent speech. "If a deal doesn't pencil out in a way that meets the needs of artists within a framework of financial discipline we're more likely to walk," he said. Peter Ruppert, founder of music consultancy Entertainment Media Research said the deal should not throw music industry models into question given that Madonna's contract was unlikely to be widely replicated. "It's not a wake-up call for the industry. It's a ridiculous deal," he said."

Causing a Commotion came out decades before Gaga and her antics. Get real. It was pure 80's pop-disco fusion.

Damien Jalet is a professional choreographer and did amazing work on the Madame X Tour.

She could perform in the comedy tent!

The Bootcamp should have been a tv show!!
