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!

A single person can not stay a trendsetter for a whole lifetime. To expect or demand that is almost ridiculous.
Plus she was never a trendsetter in a way that she invented all those trends. They were already there and she just took them from underground to mainstream. She still does that sometimes nowadays but unfortunately many fans don´t acknowledge it.
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.

how do long stretches in the melody show her "age"? baffled here.
I get it if wrinkles pop up, the way she moves or anything visible may show her age. but i am not sure she "sounds" like an old person?
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.

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.

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.

Rebel Heart

1. Waiting
2. To Have Not To Hold
3. Like It Or Not
4. Spanish Lessons
5. Beautiful Scars
I picked an odd assortment for mine. In reality, these aren't my absolute favorite non-singles, but they are songs that have found a soft spot with me. And I limited myself to one song from any album so Best Night and Devil Pray couldn't automatically be placed.

When I was young, I grew up listening to the Immaculate Collection with my mother in the car (I'm 20 but my mother was an older mother now one year younger than Madonna herself) so I always knew Vogue and Like A Virgin. I also vaguely remember my mom having Music as a child. But I missed American Life and Confessions completely as my mother had cancer around that time and didn't keep up with much music wise. Thanks to Youtube though (I was about 11) I witnessed 4 Minutes' music video. However I didn't buy music at the times really so I just listened on Youtube. I remember watching Sticky and Sweet on Youtube but that was the extent. The Super Bowl put me back in the groove with MDNA, with Give Me All Your Luvin' beocming mine and a friends song of the year. I still didn't become a super fan, only buying a ferw songs here and there. Rebel Heart's Living for Love performance at the Grammy's popped up in my Youtube feed a week or so after and I was caught up again. Later in September I'd write my second college paper based on the song Rebel Heart and soon I was buying up everything on iTunes. And here I am. Waiting. For Madonna to justify my love once again.

Burning Up hands down!!!! It was a clear standout on the album with such a different sound. Let alone this song lands at number four of my top ten Madonna songs! Holiday is iconic, sure. Lucky Star and Borderline were sweet and light. Burning Up was the sticky though!
-
I'm So Stupid is a guilty pleasure for me though! It was one of the first songs I bought from American Life and I loved the sound it has. And shout out to Die Another Day, could listen to it all day like a lot of her songs. Just wanted to say something positive about these two since they were almost nonexistent in the poll.
-
I chose American Life. The video was great (the edge and look) and the rap is probably ear bleeding to many and #10 on Mojos top worst raps but I love it! It's so ironic and in your face about the American Dream! However the rest of the album is amazing aswell, Hollywood and Nothing Fails falling just behind American Life. The only song that I skip is usually Intervention. I do love X-Static Process's message about trying not to lose yourself in the shadow of someone you love or idolize.
-
Hm.... Well I'd want Rebel Heart (Super Deluxe so I have Beautiful Scars along with the whole shabang), Confessions On A Dance Floor, and... Madonna (Self Titled).
-
It's not my favorite on the album by far but boy does it stuck in your head easily! And it did land in the top 100 where the prior two more serious and matured songs did not. Madonna makes art but she also keeps up with the times (tries to at the very least). Plus, the song was tailored for release like Give Me All Your Luvin' was. The three singles she chose were perfect (had no leaks been involved). I would have rushed Ghosttown out when the leaks occurred. Then a fully finished Living for Love on Valentine's, then BIM where Ghosttown had originally been released. I would have released 1 more single upon Rebel Heart Tours start (Unapolgetic B anyone?). The video could have mirrored the last segment of the tour. Then close to the Rebel Heart Tours Dvd or TV release I a music video simile to Miles Away for the song Rebel Heart!

How about "Confessions on a Dance Floor"-"Hard Candy" & "MDNA"-"Rebel Heart" duos then? I don't think those fit together to make a trio.
I think the first one is the wise dance diva whereas the second one is the angry single mom who calms down afterwards and lick her wounds. @@me1981
See I find Rebel Heart stands alone right now until the next album. Ray of Light to American are an epoch of self awareness and blossoming love. Hard Candy and MDNA cover the suspicions and outright anger of being cheated on and divorce. Confessions is one that I find hard to group. It does introduce the first heartbreak songs (Hung Up and Sorry) since Ray of Light, but they aren't geared towards Guy Ritchie.

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.
