meh. cawl me, we'll talk, I'll tumble for yah

I always skip Joan Of Arc. Its not bad though.

I got the sense that the label sort of made her do Ghosttown. It's the ONLY track that hadn't leaked in any form and I think was done very late into the RH sessions, almost as an afterthought. I feel like the label wanted a really strong ballad for a single, and they really put a lot behind giving her a hit album with RH. Maybe that's why she didn't promote it a lot or include it in the setlist, just out of rebelliousness cuz it was sort of forced on her? She clearly doesn't hate it too much as she did it at the Leo benefit last year.

Honey he directed the movie

Right now that you mention it, I think Jonas ended up directing the Lisbon show, either on film or video. Am i making this up?

Maybe she just paid him or they settled it, maybe it was an error. I don't think it was ever very acrimonious, if so. But yeah maybe fake news

Hamish Hamilton filmed the show. Its sitting somewhere I assume. He had sued her I believe for non-payment for it or something.

Rebel Heart had some good remixes. Aside from Offer's, I love the Eric Morillo mixes of LFL & I think its under appreciated.

She said she was touring on Live With Kelly last year. She said 2018 but with the album out now next year the tour will follow.

OK I thought he was referring to the actual concert sequence of the song. my bad.

Not everyone processing things the same of course. I don't know what you're talking about re: her voicing anything during Like A Virgin in ToD. There was no voice over it was all about her not getting arrested.

Generally speaking, adults don't really rebel when a parent dies, I think its more the opposite, to embrace the one you loved. Not saying she's gonna go conservative, but prob not a rebellion.

To expand on that, Cher actually wrote the whole second verse of Believe & wasn't credited. Said so in an interview years ago.

We can add Revolver. She was given main writing credit & the demo w/ the demo singer's vocals that leaked sounds the same as her version word for word.

I think there were some good mixes out of the Rebel Heart era, but I think her last great mix was Offer's mix of Turn Up The Radio. His mixes of LFL & GT were pretty damn good though, so maybe one of those.

This is correct. I bought the CD the day it came out & it is right side up. When the second printings went out a couple months later, it was upside down (so of course I had to buy that one too lol)

Its the exact concept. You can't much more "inspired" than that.

Time doesn't give you a big booty like she has now. Also, if its something that makes her happy, along with the augmented lips, then so be it. She's being who SHE wants to be.

She looks good.

Gyms are really tough businesses to generate profit I hear.

It was rambling and yeah a bit tone deaf. If she wasn't going off a script it could be more understandable. (edit: it appears it wasn't a script, they asked her beforehand to add her own Aretha story: credit to M here on this) Maybe she was nervous. I know when I'm speaking & nervous I add too much to what I'm saying. It wasn't billed as an Aretha tribute officially, but her picture was behind Madonna during the speech. Nothing wrong with being anecdotal during a tribute, however official it was, but I just think it was unintentionally sloppy on Madonna's part. As for those screaming cultural appropriation on social media, there is a STARK difference between paying homage to a culture and MOCKING a culture. Madonna pays homage & always has. I thought her MJ tribute was the best. I don't remember people complaining about it so much either as w/ Prince & now Aretha. Maybe Madonna shouldn't show up for tributes and should just PERFORM her own songs on the VMAs again. I can't believe its been 15 years.

I think Childish Gambino is gonna win it. These things are so predictable.

I think its a bit all over the place & I don't play it much, but I do love it. As said before, its Madonna singing "baby on your own" with the vocals pitched down I believe.
