  1. I was about 9 years old, when BAT was broadcast on an open TV channel here in Brazil. I remember my parents, at one point in the show, telling me and my brothers to go to sleep, all of a sudden. But at that moment I was only surprised as a child to see the spectacle. After that I listened to the IC ... but I still did not relate things very much. It was in 1994 that I asked for the "Bedtime" for my birthday gitf to my mom, and I felt in love since .... hence I was collecting magazines, singles, etc.
  2. No one is forcing you to argue again, just have a little respect and be less rude.
  3. You forget that not everything is reported in the media. As far as I know, the Gaga documentary was a surprise even to her fans. She may well already have material from RHT to date.
  4. In August DM posted: EXCLUSIVE – We at DrownedMadonna.com learn the reason why Madonna had a Top Secret meeting with Netflix, as we revealed in June. Netflix is going to start doing some special original documentaries on the entire career of music artists. It will be something about the artist journey of creation process, and not just a ‘behind the music’. A sort of documentary about the ‘inside’ of the artist and their sentiments on their craft.We have been told by a little bird that Madonna is in talks with Netflix Originalfor a special documentary. Madonna is not confirmed yet, and totally top secret. Lady Gaga will be the first and it’s a the moment the only confirmed artist. The show for Lady Gaga is scheduled to be released next month. If everything goes well, Madonna will be the second episode. Any news?
  5. Information coming in is that the Madonna dvds "art" team has already worked on the new artcover
  6. How much RH sold in 24 on Itunes WW? (The first 6 songs)
  7. but why did the final edition cut almost EVERYTHING in relation to the performance of the dancers? And look, the song in question had several moments that could focus on them ....
  8. Guys, what do you think was the concept used by Madonna in introducing "Erotica" in "The Girlie Show" with those boxers in the background? And why do you think the edition hardly shows these scenes?I do not see any relation to the theme "circus", "arena" of the concert ..... do not understand the message she wanted to pass.
  9. I believe Madonna must "find" these videos on the internet and upload it herself. I do not think she'll get in touch with Warner and order their file for better quality.
  10. 25th aniversary of the Erotica single Check it out:
  11. Twenty-seven years ago, Madonna set the template for modern pop concerts with her Blond Ambition world tour. From its hydraulic stage to Jean-Paul Gaultier's iconic costumes, it raised the bar for stadium-sized spectacle. Now, after seven huge world tours, the star tells the BBC she's "exploring" a smaller-scale show in the future. "I've done so many shows - world tours, stadiums, sports arenas, you name it - that I feel like I have to reinvent that now too," she explains. "I like doing intimate shows and being able to talk directly to the audience. "This is something I'm exploring right now: the idea of doing a show that doesn't travel the world, but stays in one place and utilises not only humour and the music in a more intimate setting but other people's music, as well, and other entertainment. "Kind of a revolving door of amazing, gifted, unique talent - dancers, musicians, singers, comedians, me, humour. I don't know! Like, I'm trying to come up with all those ideas now." The concerts will presumably owe much to the vaudeville-style Tears of a Clown show that Madonna performed twice in 2016 - once as a gift to fans in Australia, and again at a fundraiser for her Raising Malawi charity. The low-key gigs featured the pop icon dressed as a clown, riding a tricycle, chatting to the audience and telling jokes when not performing stripped-back renditions of some of her favourite songs. Footage of the Australian concert appears on the star's new DVD, released on Friday, which documents her 2015-16 Rebel Heart Tour. In an exclusive interview with BBC News, she talked about touring life, changing attitudes to sex, and her recent dispute with a courier company... Before we start, there's one thing I need to know: Did your FedEx packageever arrive? Ha ha! Yes, it has. FedEx is blaming customs, customs is blaming FedEx and we'll never know what happened. But I have it now. So, I saw the Rebel Heart tour when you were in London and the DVD does a really good job of capturing what it was like to be in the audience. How do you go about that? I was there every step of the way, every day for months and months. It's really hard to capture the true feeling of the excitement and the passion and the heat and the blood, sweat and tears. I'm pleased with the way it came out. There's a particularly touching sequence during True Blue, where everybody in the audience embraces each other. I know, it's a very sweet, emotional moment in the show. I didn't expect it to be, but when I look back at the DVD it almost brings a tear to my eye because everyone seems so in love. How do you put a show like this together? Where do you get the ideas? Everything's based around my song choice. So first, I go through my catalogue of songs with my band and I start working on things that excite me and inspire me in the moment. Some songs I'm sick of doing and I don't want to do them. Other songs I say, "No, I did that on the last tour, I don't want to do it again." So I try to rotate things and I also try to reflect my current mood and what I've been feeling, and what's been inspiring me artistically or filmically, politically, philosophically. I try to put songs together in groups that have thematic connection, and then I try to tell a story. And then I do the visuals. It's quite a process. What are the songs you don't want to do again? Well, I tend to not want to do the songs I did on the tour before. That's what I mean. So if I did Material Girl on the tour before, or Express Yourself on the tour before, then I'll say, "OK, I did that for 88 shows. I can't do it again." How do you keep a healthy balance between new songs and your back catalogue? It's just playing in rehearsal. It's really hard for me, especially with my older songs, to do them with the original arrangement. Because 33 years later, after doing it for so long, you just have to reinvent things. Well, I do. And it's fun for me to take an '80s pop song and turn it into a salsa song, or turn it into a samba, or make an uptempo song into a ballad. The overarching theme of the tour was being a rebel. In the intro you say, "when fascist dictators come for you dressed as righteous men" you have to rise up and take a stand. If you were doing the tour against the current political backdrop, would that message feel more relevant? Yeah, I created that voiceover for my short film . I feel like it was a foreshadowing of things to come, like a prophecy.You felt something in the air? I did then - and I think people all thought I was being a little bit dramatic and extreme, but I felt like I was witnessing the beginning of it on the tour previous [to Rebel Heart]. And, of course, look what's happening in the world right now. It's pretty crazy. Twenty-seven years ago, the Pope tried to get one of your shows banned. Now you have pole-dancing nuns and nobody bats an eyelid. Is that progress? Is it progress? Well, I guess in some ways you could call that progress. When I released my Sex book, the idea of someone being scantily-clad on the street was an outrage. But look at social media today and it's nothing. People get used to things, but I wouldn't call that progress. What I think of as progress is people becoming more open-minded, and people understanding the difference between art and exploitation. When I was banned by the Pope, I was playing with the ideas of religion and sexuality, which are usually kept completely apart. Sex is considered a sin in the Catholic church. And I was questioning that and challenging that point of view because I don't, obviously, agree with it. So now that no one's batting an eyelash about nuns on the stripper poles, it doesn't mean that the Vatican or the Catholic church is soul-searching or investigating whether they made the right choices. I don't think people are thinking that maybe sexuality and God don't need to be separate. That, to me, would be progress. The DVD also includes the Tears of a Clown show you did in Melbourne. Was that a one-off or a trial run for a different type of Madonna concert? I like doing intimate shows and being able to talk directly to the audience; to play with them and use humour and pathos and truth, and share my life - and also make up stories. I like the freedom of it and I like the intimacy of it, and I would like to explore doing it more in the future. Maybe a residency? Yeah, a residency. If I look back at the Rebel Heart tour, my favourite [part] was really the last section where I got to just sit on the stage and play my ukulele and sing La Vie en Rose and talk to the audience. [it was] just more intimate. More audience participation and connecting to human beings - I feel I'm craving that more and more. Did it feel like there was more room for improvisation in that section? Yeah, I have freedom and I can make mistakes. That's another thing I do in Tears of a Clown - if I start a song off wrong and I make a boo-boo, I just turn around and go "Stop! Let's start again!" When you're doing a sports arena show, you're linked up to video, you can't stop. Once the train leaves the station, you have to keep going. There's a certain kind of adrenalin rush to that - but there's no room for error. So I like the idea of mistakes and freestyling. Free-falling, really. It's more exciting to me right now. Madonna: Rebel Heart Tour is out now on DVD, CD and Blu-Ray and via digital retailers. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41269047
  12. I'm really looking forward to seeing the edited version of "Take a Bow". It was a gift to be on the DVD. There are times when we do not have worthwhile extras in the live materials.
  13. People complaining about the complaints are more annoying than the complaints themselves. In this topic I only saw people complaining about the art choices of the new material as well as musical choices that went into editing. Now the people who have come to complain about the complaints have come to insult the members, what is the logic of this? If you do not want to read about criticism of the choices your fans are going to make, and because of that you have the right to complain, why be on a discussion board? And more .... personal offenses in the times we live? Deplorable. More love, that's what this world needs. People today take EVERYTHING to the personal side, too much.
  14. Do you guys believe that the theme of the new album will be something political due to the United States situation, or will it take advantage of Portugal's "new world" and do something more experimental?
  15. You touched on one important point: the leaks. Perhaps what we know of the final issue of Rebel heart is not what she had in mind. Do you remember the history of the double cd? One called "Heart" with the ballads and the other called "Rebel" with the electronics? Going that was true .... goes that would be OTHER songs worked like single, like "Wash All over Me" and "Addicted", or even "I'll Never Let You Go".
  16. But Liam, RH demos are so GREAT and magic. She can do some magic again if she wants, and with Orbit on the prodution. I just love RH demos....she was on point again....
