Totally agree. Madonna was a huge flirt. It was no secret. She even told Johnny Carson in 1987, she even flirted with Grandmas. LOL! But yeah, this is just capitalizing off her name and even as a fan I have no interest in owning something like this. Weird how some people put a value on things like this.
Like autographs?
It's exactly the same thing. Stop acting all high and mighty. Madonna fans would buy her garbage if given the chance.

You can actually read the whole thing if you press on the image. Can you imagine if Madonna started dating a woman now? Seems like her bi (maybe a phase) was in the 90s. She was connected to a few women.

Madonna caused no scandal or controversy. It's just ignorant people who are misconstruing what she posted. It's no secret that the fan bases of most female artists are quite vindictive and will go out of their way to bash one another. In the end, Madonna and Beyonce' respect one another and have no beef, so all those people making an issue out of her Beyonce' and Jay-Z Post, are only making a fool out of themselves.
Whether it was her intention or not, the entire thing has blown up everywhere. I never said I agreed with them.

Should have, would have, I don't know, we will never. But what I'm sure about is that the artwork was as radical as the political climate, so it was interesting for her to push further in a minimal direction. She was in another spiritual and woken phase, and tried to be the grown-up in the room when everyone else was batshit crazy about underage Britney. Probably the last bold bet she made in her music career.
I don't know about that. American Life, IMHO, just wasn't a good album. The artwork you speak of done by M/M Paris was dictated to them from a spread they had already done for a magazine. American Life didn't come off as organic. It sounded too much like the Kabbalah Center and the Berg family, along with Madonna trying to play the doting British housewife wagging her finger. It just didn't sound like her. It sounded like someone wishing they were this person they were playing. If you want to hear Madonna raw and just being herself, listen to Erotica. That came across as more truthful and sincere than American Life.

Kylie haters will never acknowledge that, right?
I think Madonna was in a very different place in 1994 as she REALLY needed to clean and soften her image in order to stop losing constructive criticism and fans especially in the US and the UK. Projects such as Body of Evidence and Dangerous Game (both released in 1993) did nothing but deteriorate her movie career even more... Additionally, the Erotica album (what really mattered to fans) never resonated well with a wider audience and the singles did struggle in the charts around the world. I believe what kept Madonna relevant at the time was her Girlie Show concerts even though it was considered her most sexual tour. She did manage to travel to places she had never visited before (the Middle East, Latinamerica, and Australia) selling out football stadiums and not just US arenas. Despite the fact that her David Letterman appearance was a total disaster she put out an album in October that got her good reviews and don't forget she was also campaigning for the role in Evita... and we all know the results in the end
The Re-invention Tour was the perfect closure to that era but it was also a 'safe' concert in terms of sexual content. However, it was the start of her obsession in including political messages in certain parts of her show... something not many people will enjoy. I'm not American so I've never cared about it as I see it more like social and historical awareness. The Confessions Tour continued this trend especially between the performances of Live to Tell and I Love New York... the rest was just about having fun. The greatest thing about this era is that she really gained new fans, especially people who were already tired of the hip hop scene dominating the radio.
Nothing Fails suffered the ignorance of the general audience mainly because it was released among a lot of projects: US singles and regional singles, a well commented duet with Britney, the MTV kiss, the GAP campaign, the Remixed & Revisited EP, the childrens' books, etc. Despite being extensively promoted at the small concerts she did in 2003 it never clicked on the radio (boycott I think?). Honestly, the only time I heard it was as a remix that seems to be an edit of the version included in Remixed & Revisited.
Finally, I agree with what Mrs Phillips said about the Re-invention Tour... Madonna had to stop being so dismissive of her old hits as American Life was really considered (unfairly) her worst flop ever. Her Ray of Light and Music glorious days on the radio were officially ended.
Esther Ritchie just wasn't cut out to be a pop star.
All of Madonna's 2000s characters were taken from Kylie: the cowgirl, the Che Guevara, the disco queen, and the boxer. Kylie did all of these looks years prior. I honestly hated Madonna doing "characters" for her albums and was happy when MDNA-on she dropped it. That doesn't mean I don't want her to change her look but the 2000s were just too cartoonish. I like stylish Madonna, not Halloween costume Madonna.

I guess she both wanted to go into a different directon from “American Life” as she hates to repeat herself, and needed to gain back her popularity. That’s why she went back to her basics and basically played to her strengths.
Call me crazy but I also think Mariah’s success throughout 2005 also provoked Madonna. The Grammy drama adds to my conspiracy theory as well!
American Life was a repeat of Music. If anything, it expanded upon what she had already done musically, right down to the "uh, uh"s in Music and Die Another Day. Madonna has repeated herself many times, even though "Madonna never repeats herself" has become sort of a mantra in the fan community. It's simply not true.
The woman has done just about every look and sound under the sun, she's going to end up repeating something she's already done at some point. It's been 35 years.

COADF was no doubt a damage control album, much like Bedtime Stories was after Erotica. They're still good albums, but they resulted from previous low points and backlash towards her and her career.

Well she's caused an international incident with the Beyonce-Jay-Z post.
It's everywhere. "Madonna is a racist! She used the word Master!" lol. Even the news media is covering it. Beyonce's fans are digging up every supposed racist thing Madonna has ever said or done, going back 25 years. Madonna still knows how to cause controversy without even trying. -
"Take a Bow" is stunning.

I remember reading that Sorry was about Careese Henry for flirting with Guy Richie.
That has to be fanfic.

I'm speaking of "Taking Flight". And yes, the studio has been developing the film since 2015, when it first bought rights to Michaela and Elaine DePrince’s memoir, "Taking Flight": From War Orphan to Star Ballerina.” In March 2018, it was announced Madonna would direct.
Source: Variety.com
That doesn't mean she's simply directing and it'll be over in a month or so. Directors oversee casting, costumes, editing, script changes, and make a ton of hard decisions. The only difference this time is that she's not writing the script. Everything else is exactly the same as with "W.E." Films aren't made overnight. They're not simply handing the film over to her already complete and she just simply directs. That's not how it works. Guy Oseary is also on board. No way is she gonna release an album, then stall the music era to direct and then go out on tour.

You forget... she's ONLY directing! That's all she's doing. She's hired to "direct". The film has already been in development since 2015. This isn't like W.E. where she wrote the script, casted the film, oversaw the costumes, music, etc. The script is currently being written by Camilla Blackett. Madonna will step in as soon as the cast is hired and ready to film. Though, I am sure she'll have a say in the cast as well. She'll step out once she's done directing it.
Not the same movie. This film has not been in development that long. She's been wanting to direct multiple films. The one you're referring to is not the one she's directing.
There's "Taking Flight", "Ade A Love Story" (since 2014) and "The Impossible Lives of Greta Well's" (aka Loved, which she is developing and promoting on Instagram a lot). "Taking Flight" is what she's directing and was suddenly announced in 2018.

I think what's going to happen is she's going to start directing her film before she heads out on the road. So she'll probably release the album this fall with some promotion throughout the season, then start directing the film late this year or at the beginning of next, and then go into rehearsals for tour.
No way. Films take way more time than a few months. There's pre-production, post-production, casting, wardrobe, the works. She'll want this music/tour era over and done with before she takes on anything as major as a film.

Yes, I'm a very big fan of MST3K. A bit suspicious about there only being six episodes for season 12, but I digress. I don't know if he's a fan or not. I would think that given the age that he is, he would know the song and the video. The show has many writers. Not sure if he came up with the riff or not. A lot of Millennials and over watch the show. They would get the reference.

Evita and I'm Breathless are not studio albums. They're not counted in with her studio albums. The upcoming album is being referred to as M14 for that reason.
But when you're talking about her pattern of recording, it's not really the same pattern.

UGH!
Her output in the 90s was incredible. She was a workaholic. We then got, on top of everything else (coffee table book, music video VHS/DVDs, films, "I'll Remember"), Something to Remember. The two albums we got this decade though are her longest.

Actually I think most overrated era by fans (not public) is American Life. There are few great songs on it that weren't singles, but half of it is really bad, sorry.
The majority of it.

Pet Shop Boys and Stuart Price would be amazing for fresh songs. 80's vibes, with a lot of synths, what u guys think?
In the latest albums, the music sounds so heavy in general (IMO), I want something more "light and happy", like the RH Demos. She looks so "lively" in those demos. I think thats what is missing in her new songs. For the day to day, I prefer something more vivacious and cheerful, not like Bitch I'm Madonna, but Cherish, to be in the repeat for hours.
(And of course, a featuring with Kylie Minogue, the world need it to rest in peace #dreamingfarfaraway)
I don't see it happening. Maybe 12 years ago.

It's obviously going to be chock full of feminism. There's no doubt about it. That's where her head is at. Sonically, I have no idea. I don't expect another Rebel Heart, or a dance album. While I expect it to be more socially inclined, I don't foresee another American Life. It'll definitely be provocative, much like Vogue Germany... the message. She's pissed... but sexy. I expect cheekiness, but no Bitch, I'm Madonna.

Not a big fan of either. But I'll stick with Ray of Light.
Flush em both.
