@Régine FilangeSorry, try again ? give you clue, it's actually a remix!

@DantonCherish.

Totally agree @R.E.S.C.U.E_MEIt's pre and post DWT. Confessions was just beautiful to expereince in person. So refreshing, so much light in comparison to the darkness of DWT as well. I really loved seeing it, and it's filmed beautifully for the home release as well. Every moment was to be relished, although I have never liked Future Lovers as a song or cared much for Like It Or Not. S&S was very energetic, I saw both legs of the tour, but it lacked the beauty. Aesthetically it just didn't do anything for me. I went back for the second leg to see Frozen after getting a pair of tickets for £30 so I took my young neice so she could see what a real living legend was like in concert. She loved it and had never seen anything like it before. Obivously, she hadn't seen the previous tours in person, just youtube clips.

And I love your new pink hair, reminds me of candy floss

Awesome topic and post, I'll have to have a longer think and draw up a nice little list myself. Really enjoyed how you expalined it all and set out your criteria.

@NowRadiateA collaboration with AIR would have been such a dream come true. I would really enjoy something with Madonna and any of these folks: Sting, Siouxsie Sioux, Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan, Marilyn Manson, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, The Chemical Brothers, Orbital, The Prodigy, Grimes and Courtney Love. That's just my particular taste and curiosity with how her voice would gel. Sadly, we really missed out on ever hearing her with George Michael, Bowie and Jackson. Ravi Shankar would have been beautiful.

I love and respect Madonna. So I'm going to name five things that makes me feel that way about her. I'd love for you to join in. Let's celebrate her with some good vibes. It's great for karma. 1. Fearless So many examples, but risking arrest during Blond Ambition and the crucifixion during Live To Tell comes to mind. Like A Prayer video, and Sex too. 2. Smart Reported intelligence quotient of 140. 3. Embraces change Now lives in Portugal. 4. Writes great ballads and hooks I don't really appreciate any pop artists as much as I do her for this. 5. Challenges herself She never takes the easy road.

Spam bots again?

B-side The sublime Has To Be and the super silly Supernatural! Cyberagga is pretty awesome too. Unreleased, there are so many gems, but I'll go with: Like A Flower Never Let You Go

Should *have*

Happy and enjoying life with her children and grandchildren.

Maybe it was just boring. I never liked it. The production on it felt generic. Thrown together, like Love Spent and Masterpiece. Good songs on paper but wasted in the studio.

1998 ROL at the MTV Awards is one of my favourites. Yes, the vocals are like a wild animal, it's how ROL might sound with any of us doing it, but she totally owned that stage. That presence.... Even when she's miles off with the vocals, she was still amazing. And so beautiful with the long dark hair, that white vest, black pants and heels. Simple, yet magnificent.

She was ever present in the 80s. I remember watching Solid Gold and seeing Holiday. Then America's Top Ten and seeing Material Girl, La Isla Bonita and Who's That Girl. I grew up next door to a night club that played her songs as well and my older brothers had collector stickers and she was always featured in them. But then Like A Prayer hit and she was in all those tacky papers my family read they felt the need to protect my gentle mind from such blasphemy and tried to ban radio, TV and magazines from my 10 year old life. It only made me more curious, plus my family were hypocrites, ignorant and abusive and Madonna became a solace from the crap at home. By the time Erotica came out she was considered to be the devil incarnate. I didn't really get the whole Sex thing so it was pointless for my family to try to so hard to demonise her whilst the head of the family was probably jacking off to the spread that was featured in the Observer magazine. I just enjoyed her music and videos, and it's more through her that I came to appreciate Catholic imagery than my stupid family. So that's how I became a fan. It's changed over time though.

This one has always been my favourite.

I think she won't be appreciated as much as she deserves in her lifetime, sadly. But she hasn't taken an easy road either. I wonder if social media existed in Diana's lifetime if the public would have been so fickle with her too, but at least Diana's charity work, role as a mother and humanitarian causes weren't overlooked while she was alive. Still though, her private life was scrutinised and gossiped about relentlessly. I think a film showing how Madonna balances/balanced the scrutiny of her fame with her work and family could really only be lovingly done by her children. It could really only come from them. But it's kind of morose to think about now. Miles to go until that happens.

I'd rather she didn't make it herself as it would be self serving. I don't think a biopic is something we'll see for a long time. At least, not a good one. Maybe a long time from now Lola might be involved in doing something in some capacity. That's the only way I can see it happening, through one of her children, but a very long time from now.

"Why do all the things I say sound like those stupid things I've said before."

Just read that Prince will be the focus for a new multi part documentary. I wondered if Madonna will be featured in any way. It would be a shame to overlook their friendship and work together. What do you think? https://www.nme.com/news/music/princes-estate-launch-weekly-series-rare-unseen-music-videos-2397360/amp

This image is faked. That's Courtney and Drew from around the mid 90's and that's Madonna from 1990.

The last one looks like an outtake from 2003.

Oooh the 1988 outtake is so gorgeous. I love 88/89 and 98/99 Madonna so much. I'd hoped the dark hair would return in 2008, it's now late 2018... At least there was American Life

I also forgot to add Rebel Heart. It's kind of my autism anthem; not fitting in, going a different way, not being like the others, walking alone, never satisfied... And surviving

I listened to You'll See quite a lot during the time I was deciding to leave home as a youngster, to get away from stoopid family members. It was one of the few cds I took with me when I packed my rucksack and walked out the door. Whenever I was feeling like I couldn't go on anymore, Die Another Day was kind of my go-to song. The lyrics could easily be applied to the situation, "I guess I'll find another way, it's not my time to go." Ray of Light was always my pick-me-up song. Uplifting, energetic and you could sing and dance to it like a mental patient (yay!) and still feel so happy. I liked that
