I was obsessed with Let Down Your Guard when I discovered it, lol.

I Deserve It!

Love. Sex. Religion. All three very integral in career. they're absolutely fine being reused, when done in new ways. Love is the least prone to being overdone, you just can't over do it. Someone's always falling in and out of love. Sex has become less shock factor, and religion has become less intriguing. But if they keep popping up, thats okay. But if they do, then their linking up with songs of the same nature is guranteed and then similar tour themes will be placed with them. Renaissance would be cool as a theme to a song, fusing religion, sex, and art. Lady Gaga's Venus took this idea of the painting of Venus and came out pretty good! No African themes have been done really, and Malawi could be a great source of sounds or lyrics. She's done gypsy, spanish, and french. So why not some African themes.

Exactly! The tours really becoming just that, maybe rotating a couple in and out, like Music (only left out of MDNA since its release). Candy Shop is obviously a favorite of hers, one she has fun with! I don't know if she'd treat Rebel Heart like that, I could see Body Shop becoming a bit of staple, its fun and could reworked in various ways.

Similarly, I'm Addicted should have been MDNA's Miles Away single, but we past that era unfortunately.

Rebel Heart should definitely be a single in the way Miles Away was, video wise. But an older hit as well along side it maybe, Vogue would out because it sewn right into Holy Water. Like A Virgin is a good pick or even Material Girl. I love both performances, each quite an update for their songs respectively. My thing being this is a chance to slip in one more Rebel Heart song as an entry. Rebel Heart is just dying to be in the selection for a greatest hits one day! Honestly, when I design a greatest hits, I always place Rebel Heart in it as a closer, its just that fitting!

Yeah I thought that would come up. I meant family unit wise, excluding parents and siblings, as she ofcourse has touched all those. I did forget about Intervention though. And I agree that B*tch I'm Madonna and Ghosttown hair did look very good, and the touch of pink in her hair was trendy too. But she did it, and like the cover to Rebel Heart, her hair do can be different on the album as much as the videos and then tour segments.

So been thinking about maybe some ideas or what not for the next era, months from now or a year from now regardless. Back in 2014 she had some hair styles I like when she worked with Tom Munroe. I think she looked great with her hair up in the Flappers Segment of Rebel Heart, really worked. The whole hair down and loose is ok, youthful in some places, but sometimes it looks tired or too overworked. As far as concepts, Rebel Heart may have come around organically, but the juxtaposing two concepts like Hard Candy was pretty meh, despite working out okay. Rebel Heart was also self-reflective and nostalgic and very career heavy. I'd like the next album to go in the direction pioneering or atleast resting on itself, strong lyrics driven from new ideas. She's never really sung about family life outside her husbands, and the kids maybe once with Little Star (specifically to Lordes). I like the idea of a "Black Rose" kind of persona. The romantic Madonna versus the hazardous Madonna. The lovely rose and its many thorns. I'm not pinning this idea to the whole album but maybe to a single. Any ideas or hopeful thoughts anyone? Feel free to share ideas about a new Madonna Era, from clothes, hair, tours ideas, and ofcourse album material!

I'd choose Reinvention's Circus segment. Hanky Panky was a great opener for it, really disguised the darkness lurking with a light fun diddy. Deep and Deeper was breathless, her live vocals bleeding with power and emotion. Die Another Day was another step into the dark and a creative way to not include it in the Military segment as it would have blandly fit. Lament... A gem in the broken tents of this nightmare circus. Her vocals here stripped of the acting of Evita is blessed and amazing!

Well I mean, whenever she does a movie, an album is never far behind. WE came out really close to MDNA. It's possible depending on how long it takes for the movie.

Really? Any particular reason that day? And how do we know?

I avoided Ghosttown for several months following my breakup. It was our song of two years. One, it was a feat to get a country girl who instantly fell in love with a Madonna song to represent us, two it just represented our whole relationship too well. I had a mesh of songs that changes depending on my mood. When I was angry I'd listen to the darker songs Heartbreak City. When I was feeling lonely and missing her I listened to Best Friend or I F*cked Up. When I thought about how the break up really was inevitable and I hadn't seen it coming I went for Miles Away and when I found out she had already latched onto someone new there was always She's Not Me. When I felt like I was getting over it I went for Living For Love, X-Static Process, etc.

Madonna/Like A Virgin/True Blue: I'd leave these alone. The only things I'd wish we'd had from these eras was a music video to Dress You Up and Angel. Like A Prayer: Love Song. I hate but love this song. It's so clunky but come on, it was a chance to have Primce and her together. Too bad he didn't want to do it. Erotica: I'd leave this one aswell. Five was enough and Bye Bye Baby didn't carry aswell as the final single as it was, despite loving it myself. Bedtime Story: I'd Rather Be Your Lover (Tupac preferably). Could've been another career show stopper, daring to be dangerous. Ray of Light: Shanti/Ashangti. Being that she used it for music awards performance and really could've had a beautiful music video of Hindu culture. Music: Impressive Instance American Life: Nobody Knows Me Confessions: Odd decisions honestly but I'd have chosen I Love New York here, and gave it an awesome rocking choreographed music video, piggy backing off of Sorry, making a trilogy. Also would have given Get Together a proper music video. Hard Candy: Candy Shop- making the music video a fun little tour of her "candy shop". Would've been great to coincide with the start of Sticky and Sweet. I'd also pick She's No Me as maybe the third single. MDNA: I'm Addicted as the first single, month or so before Super Bowl. Rebel Heart: I've got three singles to put here, breaking where I've usually kept the rest of the albums at five singles. In fact let me just lay out the whole schedule for this albums singles. Ghosttown should have been released as the first single and she should not have put any other songs up just because of the leaks. Ghosttown would have been great for the winter. Living for Love released as intended on Valentine's. B*tch I'm Madonna bumped up to Ghosttowns original release date. Devil Oray released inJune. Then Unappolgetic B to coincide with Rebel Heart Tour and then Rebel Heart released as the Tour either wraps up or when it premiers on TV for the first time.

Just now revisiting. I would have tailored her 2012 performance. Vogue to Music I would leave as they were, including LMFAO but then cutting to 4 Minutes which would give way to Hung Up. Her 2000s hits (being the freshest in mind to the younger audience) would be covered and tastefully. I'd then go into the first guitar performance. This performance would be Burning Up, to add that rock and roll flavor. Next would be I'm Addicted. I would have had this song released as her first single to MDNA a month or so earlier, hoping it to be a hit. After wards it would be time to debut the next single Give Me All Your Luvin with Nicki and MIA, essentially keeping the same performance from the original. I like the idea of the band and acapella of open your heart and express yourself. I would've taken advantage of this to add in a couple more songs like Deeper and Deeper and Dress You Up or Holiday. Next would be her second guitar moment, doing Ray of Light and then leading into Like A Prayer to close out the show just like the original.

I hope she does a song or two for it. Soundtracks songs are always great for her. Even Masterpiece won Most Original Song!

Excellent read! I knew that Rebel Heart carried that Soundcloud feel, which the site itself is full of great DJs and producers. She's a smart woman who just kind of gets lost in the massive spills of the music industry. Every decade has had a signature sound until recently with the sound changing every year. Madonna was ahead of that game too.

I meant in her voice. But I think where I'm probably finding that is when her voice is strained and she is physically tired.

After listening to Katy Perry's latest album, I'm torn. Some of the sound and rythhms are great but then again some how Cher's Woman's World pops in my head when I think about Swish Swish (which is kind of good). I'm not entirely sure it would be a good route for Madonna unless she built a lot of fast paced songs around the rythhms and sounds. I think fast paced songs are where here voice is probably gonna show less age. Ballads where she stretches out words start to show her age, which isn't bad at all.

Hard Candy is currently my summer thumper! She's Not Me and Ring My Bell are absolutely stuck in my head.

I remember reading that Get Together wasn't initially thought of as a single until they saw how well it was selling digitally. Maybe that would explain no proper music video. It wasn't planned. Nothing Fails should have gotten one aswell. Might've made it more memorable as a single.

I could see two lists developing. One of underrated songs by the general public (mainly singles that didn't go far but were amazing), and then a list of songs underrated (despised even) by fans. Superstar, B*tch I'm Madonna, Body Shop, Candy Shop, Spanish Lessons, Mother and Father, One More Chance, Hey You, American Pie, and Revolver. These are all songs I love or atleast feel like are bashed despite being pretty ok. As far as songs that went over the publication heads I'd immediately put Bedtime Story, Nothing Really Matters, all American Life singles, Miles Away, and Ghosttown.

Candy Shop all the way. One of my guilty pleasures and I mean, come on, if Madonna invites you into her Candy Shop then you better take it! I'm sure you'll find a girl made of candy wearing perfume somewhere in there, jk.

But it would chain her down. And she has fans around the world not just Vegas. She would be effectively closing them out, which doesn't seem like Madonna at all.

I don't care for the actual original version, I always pick the Benassi remix. So if it's the Benassi remix then I choose Celebration. If it's the original then I'll pick Broken.
