  2. It took 13 years and a bad (worse) remaster to give some love to "Celebration".

  4. I’m actually not keen on the 7” edit. I think the most perfectly succinct version is the version on celebration. It doesn’t omit anything and nothing feels hacked and stitched together it’s literally perfect.

  6. Me and the whole world actually who loved her masively even in her lowest moments of popularity prefered her when she trained, when she was super mega working drived pro, when she did her voice coach sessions in order to sound her very best, when she spent months working on new music and videos trying to do her very best, when she cared about her brand and it was sinonimous of the best quality possible on her projects, when she was not doing terrible things to her face and body, etc..I´ve seen a lot of stars through the years and she has been for a long time one of the best in every way, a total admirable pro...it did not matter if she wasn´t the most beautiful or had the greatest range, she was everything. As for now, I would not minded at all if she shows her tits out and fuck boys of 18 if she did quality music as she has been doing for many decades, so stop saying the same line again and again about people being ageist. The one ageist here is her, who pretends she is 18 years old when she is not and it´s totally perfect she is not, talk about Norma Desmond territory really. I follow several some 60 years old and plus artists, and they are behaving much much classier and sexier even in their 70s than she is now, and releasing still great music and doing amazing concerts no matter their age.So i´t´s not the number, Madonna is not so old, is the choices, and the hurt she is doing to a brand she was managing exemplary well till 2016, before she became totally depressed, so don´t say she is having any fun. Where are the Erotica 30 years reissues? I´m fearing she does not give a damn about her fans anymore, the ones who loved her always no matter what era it was and made her rich rich rich. The only thing she cares right now is about her and her obsession with been seen as a kid forever.

  9. @Simonsays I would hope that it is understood that it is implicit that what I write about is my opinion. What else would it be? I’m not presenting a historical list of events. I’m expressing my perception from my unique perspective. My opinion is always expressed from a place of intended honesty. I have been very consciously experiencing Madonna and her fanbase for 38 years. That gives me a certain insightfulness that is, in my opinion, worthy of being approached as coming from a place of integrity. In your posts, you expressed that you think some Madonna fans are resistant to the idea of her being overtly sexual at 64. Personally, I am not interested in this part of Madonna as it seems gratuitous and mindless to me. What is this fake construct we all have bought into that it is ageist to question why a person isn’t able to find greatness and beauty in aging? Isn’t there something off in that perspective? I won’t indict her ideas about self-image as I’m not in her head, but I can certainly observe the potential for perceived hypocrisy in her actions. The many times she has stated her own revised disinterest in provocation for the sake of provocation leaves me questioning where she sees purpose in returning to that behavior late in her career. It might be more understandable if she followed a consistent narrative, but there isn’t one. For decades it was the journey from the wilderness to redemption, which by the time of Rebel Heart took on a more palpably collective tone in the form of talk of a spiritual revolution. Four years ago she was finding her way through the sea of nihilism in a world gone mad on the verge of destruction as Madame X. Perhaps the fact that we actually experienced radical societal shifts as the result of a global pandemic that robbed us of the illusions of freedom, exposed the hypocrisy of hegemony, and ultimately brought on a resurgence of saber rattling and war drums that put us closer to nuclear annihilation than ever before (Is all of that just an opinion too? Hmmm. I don’t know.) made her just say “Fuck it!”, and thus the constructed narrative ended. Unless she tells us what has been going on in her mind…unless she openly shares her feelings and thoughts on her physical and emotional struggles with injuries and pain…unless she intellectually reviews her career and sociocultural impact with honesty and objectivity, all we are left with are our opinions. But hopefully these are formed from experience and observation.

  14. A remaster or a boost is not a problem for me when is well done. The real problem is when the track is distorted like the 7'' version of Everybody, or poorly done like "Open Your Heart" on FEL.

  15. i guess it's been happening for so long that some of us don't pay close attention to it anymore, i for one do not remember what exactly i voted on that category. i think the earliest memory i have of her talking about the age comments was on interviews during the "erotica" era, so she's basically been called old for 30 years now it is one of the reasons why i'm still so baffled when fans comment on that (or how she's not "classy")... i mean, are we fans of the same person????

  20. Yesterday's update: Up to 20.328.445 monthly listeners and repeating at #185 overall. "Hung Up On Tokischa" enters Madonna's Spotify Top 10 at #10. Total streams so far: 1.875.807 "Everybody (7'' Version)" debuts with 25.027 streams, with Thursday (release date) streams. On Friday it was added to Release Radar playlists so we'll see the impact of that in today's results. "Finally Enough Love": "Express Yourself" and "Secret" just passed +500.000 streams.

  21. "For the first time, Madonna will personally curate expansive deluxe editions for many of her landmark albums, as well as introduce unique releases for special events, and much more. The series of releases will be overseen by Warner Music’s catalog team" - From the release of the "MILESTONE, CAREER-SPANNING PARTNERSHIP". That´s what she said.

  23. Madonna pretends to drink and use cannabis for the negative response she gets for it? Seems unlikely, but why not? It’s true that she definitely doesn’t give a hoot how she is perceived. To me, she seems to be caught up in processing an anger that results from the friction between her self-image and her public image. As fascinating as that is - although she is certainly stingy nowadays in terms of throwing us crumbs about who she truly is behind the mask - it’s also uncomfortable to observe at times. That’s just an opinion, but I’m sure some other fans can relate. While everyone is entitled to love or leave whatever Madonna does these days, there’s a common truth that no one wants to continue highlighting here because it incurs too much wrath, and yet it deserves to be explored more intellectually. Much of the rejection of modern Madonna is not only about ageism, but also about perceived mediocrity (again, it’s all about opinion and taste). Whether that is because Madonna wants to emulate the general mediocrity of current algorithmic, reductive pop culture to stay current and fit in or because she isn’t very good anymore is sort of a pointless debate. She may simply be having fun, and good for her, but I do often find myself asking what the point is of her harping on about a message that is never actually reflected in her work? The end product isn’t disturbing the peace, nor is it breaking new ground. It is aesthetically displeasing to many, has no social context or message other than the perpetuation of vapid narcissism, and therefore has no exceptional reason to enter the zeitgeist. Madonna has principles. Madonna has experience. Madonna has a history of injecting her work with the personal and the provocative, and yet there hasn’t been an ounce of that in anything she has done since Madame X. Another elephant in the room is that Madonna’s legacy has been canceled, or at the very least radically reduced due in great part to the problematic existence of a privileged, self-obsessive, white woman with a history of alleged cultural appropriation failing to address her cultural impact in a contemporary manner. I see it in every newspaper or cultural magazine. Madonna is an afterthought. She is rarely quoted or named as an example of anything…this after three decades of being the de facto reference for everything from motherhood, philosophy and spirituality to sex, politics and materialism. These are not my feelings about her at all. I am not an apologist. I don’t do woke revisionism. I accept that culture is vibrant and ever changing, and that great artists are also often personally problematic and compromised. This generation will eat itself, and its Pollyanna activism will barely make a ripple in the grand scheme of non-manufactured consent and dissent. Of this I am certain. I love Madonna for her irreverence, her rudeness and her arrogance. Sometimes her insecurities overshadow these qualities and make her seem mean and callous, but that’s who she has always been, and will eventually be celebrated and cited for. Not the icon on a pedestal many of her fans want to hold onto…that’s fine too. After all, she spent decades building that facade. Ugliness and mediocrity can be found throughout her career. There are moments when things were gauche or gratuitous. I can be objective about that and still be captivated by her, even at her very worst! Usually these short chapters were countered by a moment of sheer brilliance and a momentary embrace of conventional beauty and glamor…just enough to keep everyone mesmerized. That’s the part that is missing, and a lot of that comes from the discomfort surrounding her radically altered appearance and her complete disregard for convention. Discussing this from a more objective perspective is difficult on here as there is always someone ready to pounce on any implication they can insert of misogyny, ageism, or discrimination of any other kind. I understand this too. We are all trying to be just, fair and inclusive, but let’s be honest…it’s so confusing nowadays to speak on anything due to the necessary vetting we all must do before risking our reputations and our feelings by sharing a personal perspective. Maybe that’s the source of any true activism to be found at the core of the essence of Madonna’s legacy…that her very existence provokes so much confusion and vitriol because it is so charged with electricity…because she invited us all to approve and disapprove constantly for the sake of the exposure and the collective reactivity…because she told us not to take anything literally while hiding behind a blanket of alleged irony that was often just an expression of her own struggle with literalism. The guarantee I see is that those of us who remain beholden to her artistry will all rip each other to shreds just because we think we all know/own a part of her that no one else sees. I wish there was more incentive to invest time in discussing Madonna’s latter day output, but until her innovative nature re-emerges, I’m personally left still waiting for the extraordinary courage of Baldwin’s spirit that she so often references to manifest in Madonna’s work.

  24. yes and i'm still waiting for it...i didn't get a tracking number, just a shipping confirmation number that i can't do anything with and nobody can tell me where my order is. after october 17 I get a refund if it hasn't arrived. I told them I'd rather have the box than a refund, but they can't tell me until october 17th if it's possible to send it again.

  26. It's her. Super similar vocal delivery to "Finally Enough Love" - EDIT: "I Don't Search I Find", I mean! Funny how after the compilation I changed that title in my mind haha. Maybe Shazam gives other results but that happens all the time, especially with dance music. I'm SO ready for new Madonna. Drop it before the end of 2022, mom.

  27. I hope that real musical instruments are used on this tour and not those artificial and synthetic sounds that should only be allowed in remixes and that, by the way, predominated in her last tours. On the other hand, not only the fans but the general public want to listen to the classics just as we remember them but unfortunately Madonna decides to transform them completely altering their essence in the process as happened with Open yor Heart (Mdna tour) or Borderline or Vogue (Sticky ands Sweet), etc.: totally unrecognizable. I hope that Madonna doesn't get upset with this little criticism that I just made but I really hope that she changes her mind and doesn't modify the original sound of her classics which is what the public wants to hear since after all, she is a brand and like any product on the market, she should seek consumer satisfaction, in this case, ours and not so much hers.

  44. I mean...this forum is basically open to anyone who so wishes to create an account. Madonna has had so much negative people involved in her career that it wouldn't surprise me that a majority have decided to create aliases to invade true Madonna fans on a forum. I joined this forum to celebrate the artist. And for some strange reason a large majority of "fans" on this site have a weird codependency type relationship. Like, I get we all have our opinions, and, we have our personal taste to music and to art, but, to be personally offended over a 4 minute video. I don't know man. I don't get it. Like, there's way more to life man. This is coming from someone who has M tatted on their body, but like, fuuuuuuuk if a complete stranger (let's face it, we don't know her personally) can offend a person that much...kinda says more about them then the rest of us...thats why I've decided to stick around...cuz its actually quite funny...but sad. Very sad.
