Her favourite song, Candy Shop, ain't there ?

? I'm shocked, so young. Wonder what happened. Rest in peace Jamie. 

To be absolutely honest, I think this is the sort of thing that works fine in fans' imaginations, but in real life, it's just a terrible idea. Madonna and an orchestra... The reality of such a pairing would be a nightmare. And it would be boring. How long before she starts dry humping a double bass during the first verse? She needs those 808s and autotuned live vocals and those tits out moments, not an orchestra, how can she disturb the peace with a string quartet? ?

Why does everyone seem so desperate for Madonna to do something disco? I am as tired of the collaborations as anyone but its pretty sad when a good portion of Madonna fans are clamoring for her to repeat herself, reminds me of the Like a Virgin wannabe days. We need something new and fresh that has influences of her 80's sound which is in right now, not another crappy dance album like MDNA or a sad attempt at cloning her classics.

Whenever I'm asked which Madonna album is the best, I always reply that it's too hard to answer that, but that the one I listen to more than any other is Erotica. I love every single thing during that era (starting with This Used To Be... and ending on The Girlie Show) - I don't skip a single song (yes, that includes Did You Do It? - it's hilarious and that groove is pure bliss), love the remixes, b-sides, demos, videos and the tour, of course. My only wish is she worked with Andre Betts more - his tracks really stand out and are unlike anything she's ever done. 

My goodness, so many PhDs here and close personal friends of Madonna ?

I love her pre-fame vocals, her VT, WTG, BA, GS, DWT, RIT and CT vocals, SNL, Oscars 91 and a lot of others. So much energy and colour in those tones. 
When it comes to singers there are voices I like; Stevie Nicks, Marianne Faithful, Siouxsie Sioux, Robert Smith, Ian Curtis, Andrew Eldritch, Morrissey, Alice Cooper, Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain, Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor, Shirley Manson... 
It's all about the tones, expression, the theatre of their vocal artistry. I'd listen to them recite the fucking alphabet because each one would be so unique and not depend on enhancements, pitch correction, retuning or any of that shit. It's their real voice. 
Madonna is best when she's at her most real and RAW!

I couldn't give a crap what Madonna or anyone else does, I just know I'm gonna have a fantastic year ?

Saw this picture today on Insta and thought it was Madonna for a split second!
Happened to anyone else, you mistake someone for Madonna for just a second? Easy to do these days on a phone when thumbnails are so small.

Madonna likes Depeche Mode and was inspired while making the COADF album but I don't know if she met the band, though they used to be on the same recording label back in 80s and 90s (back when Sire records has a partnership with Mute records to release DM album in North American territory).
 
On the other hand, not sure if she met Duran Duran back in 1984 when she attended the Sing Blue Silver tour with Nile Rodgers (times when Nile had a collaboration with the band).

Pop star. A pioneering one at that. She's opened a lot of doors for other pop stars. 
Madonna seems to be rewriting her job description and that's her right. 
Like someone above said, she was more of an artist when she wasn't broadcasting it all the time without producing the work to back it up. 
Ultimately it's self-serving, but perhaps that's the actual art? The art of staying relevant. The art of surviving. The art of celebrity. The art of narcissism.
 

Trap is Crap.
But whatever gets her those streams I guess.

A pre Madonna rock style album is probably what I want from her more than anything else. Some of those tracks are incredible 

Why would it destroy future chances? She just needed to release better singles that would resonate with the public. She had shitty singles prior to that one.
