  1. I was sad when this was announced as second single. Sad and confused. Should've been GT or J
  2. Easy - "Get Together" her most perfect pop gem of that decade. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Hmmm, this is her best live rendition of Borderline in the last 15 years and appreciate that it stayed so close to the original. Her voice was just lovely. Hair and makeup should be fired at this point. She needs new blood.
  4. Oh, looks like this thread has confirmed "borderline" - ok - will save comments till after I see this but highly confused by this choice.
  5. If she does "hey you" I will assume she's lost it at this point.
  6. I love Robyn - she's great! Some girls doesn't have the catchy melodies Robyn churns out. Of the Orbit MDNA tracks: Love Spent and Falling Free are just beautiful. Gang Bang is great but haven't proactively listened to it since 2013. There are significantly worse songs on MDNA than the remaining Orbit tracks but these Orbit tracks are unmemorable.

  7. On the other hand she also chose a song that takes some serious vocal chops to sing....which also isnt her strong suit. I could have actually pictured M doing one of his upbeat tracks (ie: Let's Go Crazy) in honor of him and to help lift everyones spirits - she could have invited a popular guitarist to join (maybe one from one of Prince's many bands) and also have Sheila E join to do percussion. The intro to lets go crazy would have been perfect (and she would agree since she used it) and she could have just told people to get out of their seats and celebrate a genius. boom! and I can picture her singing that track perfectly.
  8. well done though anti-climactic - suprised by NC2U as the selection - does the majority even know that Prince wrote that? As for the hair - hate when she does the sharp part in the middle.
  9. I have an update on the friend - so he liked Erotica but I dont think I gave him enough time to let that one sink since I wanted to test out "Music." He listened to "Music" and he LOVED it. - I asked what his fave was and he said, the whole album but "Nobodys Perfect" stood out especially. This was just after two days of listening so I'll get an update from him. He's still obsessed with the ROL album. This is a 300lb "worlds strongest man" competitior who typically listens to Rammstein and Depeche Mode. A
  10. Excellent work! Very well done / great detail!
  11. well im always going to be grateful for all that took place between the "love profusion" video and what got her to her next look for the next single, video "Hung Up." Now Thats the mega-star I'm into.
  12. OMG - to this day that song makes me cringe - sticks out on AL for me....and then the nail on the coffin was the video - putting that housewife, childrens book, mom look in a video - i was done.
  13. Isnt it true the "Love Makes the World Go Round" was initially intended to be the first single from True Blue? I think I read that somewhere.... Ok here's my worst - not including demos and also not including "Im Breathless" [*]Bday Song [*]Best Friend - she has demos with better production. [*]I Dont Give A - This song is dead to me - wont even add it to my spotify saved list. [*]Love Profusion [*]Holy Water [*]Body Shop [*]Dont Stop [*]I Know It [*]Hey You [*]One More Chance
  14. just wouldnt have been possible at that time because they essentially filled out that entire CD with less than a minute to spare. So they wouldve had to edit the current tracks to even get one more in.
  15. Its a great collection looking back on it. That said, at the time, I remember thinking WOW, how could they leave Who's that Girl off of this...It was everywhere, the song, the tour, and the movie (the movie's failure should have nothing to do with the song not being included here). Cherish should have been left off and Who's That Girl included. Do you guys remember the supplemental cd release called "the holiday collection" which included the following tracks: 1. Holiday (full) 2. True Blue 4. Whos that Girl 5. Causing A Commotion
  16. i actually have a few examples but the one ill share here is "True Blue" Growing up I HATED this song and the video and the big poofy white hair....not a fan of any part of this track/video at all. I'd say roughly 5 years ago, I reheard this track....and saw it in a new light - her vocals are beautiful and the melody - I have this track on regular rotation and have no clue what I was thinking - awesome song! A
  17. youre probably right - i just remember when listening to the Music album the first time, I was not as satisfied....especially coming off the Ray of Light era. That said, there are many tracks that I love from Music but rarely go back to that album. He's going to try out "Erotica" next. Ill suggest "Music" after he's done with Erotica and if he's still willing to listen to any more Madonna. He just told me yesterday that hes still obsessed with ROL and it tugs at his heart. The only song he's not too fond of is CPG. A A
  18. Just wanted to chime in on this one - so Vinyl is literally saving the music industry. Revenue of vinyl has surpassed streaming for record companies. Hard to get into the "whys" but there is something that gets people excited about that type of physical product. Another study the just came out also states 48% of record buyers arent even listening to the vinyl but are collecting. So for me personally, I havent "bought" a music item in years - was a huge Madonna collector - but the whole streaming/spotify bit is sooo easy that I cant justify buying a cd which I will never look at. Interestingly enough though, I've gotten into collecting vinyl - dont ask why - totally psychological. I dont listen to them as I prefer the quick spotify experience but certainly love finding amazing limited edition collectors items that are scare or limited in quantity. That gets me to buy it.
  19. I have an interesting story - I have a younger straight male friend, he's a regular 25 y.o. red-blooded american man who knows nothing about Madonna's music and is obsessed with body building, etc. Get the picture? He's been intrigued by my Madonna obsession and I long story short, I asked him to add to his spotify, and play the "Ray of Light" album in full. He did. He's been obsessed with it. He says he likes the overall feeling and how complex it is. He reported back to me a few weeks ago that he was driving with his other straight male workout friend and had the album playing in his car. This is what the conversation went like: "this is cool bro - what is it?" My friend: "Madonna" his friend: "Madonna?" Whoa! - this is pretty damn good. So he asked for a follow-up and after some back and forth I suggested: American Life (it's also complex) He said it was OK and actually said he didnt like it after awhile. I then suggested the MIXED Confessions on a Dance Floor: He "likes" it. Sounds too poppy and generic to him and her voice is ok - doesnt give him the same feeling as the Ray of Light album did. Anyway - thought id share some feedback from a non fan and someone who knows nothing about her and is not her typical audience. - Anyway, I picked Drowned World - To this day, I will never forget getting home from the midnight release and putting the album in my player and hearing Drowned World come on. Gave me chills. That evita trained voice on that haunting track. Nothing like it. Her voice was magical from Something to Remembers new tracks through American Pie/Time Stood Still - that beautifully trained voice was ultimately gone by the time the Music album came out.
