  1. It's true that artists repeatedly "sell out" through their careers where they endorse products they don't care for but I think we're in an era where its transparent enough that most of us ignore all of that stuff. I had to unfollow Lady Gaga on social media because she was annoying me with her make up brand and a lot of fans feel the same way. The struggle between the artists and the labels of art vs. marketing and promotion is getting to a point the music industry is something to just ignore unless you wanna be irritated by stupid lyrics and false images of people
  2. I just listened to a bit of the remix of Levitating and is it just me or are the verses really reminiscent of The Ketchup Song :Madonna034:

  3. It just doesn't work for me at this age for another album cycle. I really do think she should have stopped with all of that retreading similar vague concepts. "Give Me All Your Luvin'", "Girl Gone Wild", "Turn Up the Radio". I just can't with that stuff. She did enough of that and she did it very well but we didn't need more of that. It really is jarring to reach that part of her videography. It's been 15 years and I still think Celebration wouldn't need anything more added to it past the title track, nothing that came after could be added and increase the quality of it whatsoever imo. It was extremely smart timing to release that honestly. I think it was her last release under Warner and that's probably why it exists but still it really did work out extremely well as a product.
  4. @McDonnaFor example I like 4 Minutes sonically but it's about nothing, it's kinda silly haha
  5. Maybe if BAT had been remastered and released later on I'd feel more about it but that's probably never gonna happen Although TGS didn't need any of that digital wizardry for me to love it all the way through I guess. I'm having fun revisiting tons of eras today and learning about things I probably knew years ago but forgot like cancelled singles and original album tracklists and things. Always been obsessed with M but I took a few years away mainly because I didn't like Madame X at all. I still enjoyed that concert film though! She does create enjoyable shows and imagery regardless of the music but I do think lyrically and sometimes musically she took a nosedive. And now I'm older I can't really care for the bulk of Hard Candy or MDNA because I just think they exist for the sake of it for the most part. They feel redundant. I feel progression watching Celebration: The Video Collection but I feel if it continued from there I don't need the rest of it. She became more about the shows I think.
  6. I wonder how many fans this artwork is a traumatic memory for I remember thinking this was official when it showed up on Amazon. It was a bootleg with terrible quality It was in 2005 according to discogs
  7. Yeah, I love her vocals on Rain / Just My Imagination from the DVD especially. BAT has never quite hit the mark for me completely. Parts of it I love, parts I don't really care for. I know it's "iconic" but I care more about quality and realistically it wasn't a masterpiece of a show to me although she did progress from WTG to BAT. TGS is where it all came together for me. I can't rank her shows now though because I'm too aware that the editing process will elevate some shows and the reality can't have been the same experience. So in terms of the actual releases Confessions has to be my fav, irl who knows
  8. I thought the plan was for a boxset for the 20th anniversary of her first album and it got axed and they gave us Remixed & Revisited which was released in November 2003 so I imagine it wasn't happening anyway
  9. Agreed! Also I'm sorry but "Feel it in your body, sing la dee da dee" is a horrendous lyric lmao
  10. People were talking about some re-release of an American Life "mixshow" or something and tbh I don't even recall what that is since we already got 5 remixes on that EP, that was more than enough for me. Could take or leave them as they are. Remixes are the ultimate laziest way to get fans to buy this half assed bullshit. And if I hadn't been a child in 2003 I wouldn't have bought that EP. Your Honesty is a good song though.
  11. This whole thing reminds me of Remixed & Revisited where we were meant to get commemorative boxsets and stuff and just got that. All that came from that was some nice artwork and one unreleased song
  12. This just reminded me she did sing the words "ray of light" in Supernatural in 1989
  13. Do you guys think The Look of Love is supposed to be between Express Yourself and Cherish on Madonna's Iconography playlist on YouTube or was it probably a mistake?

      I suspect it was a mistake.  Though, I wonder since the video is a compilation of clips from the film, if it wasn't available until the summer of '89.  I know that I didn't know a video existed for the song until the internet came along.  I know the song was released in several regions outside of the U.S. and is probably why I never saw the video, but I've seen other region specific or rarely shown videos of hers on U.S. Mtv during the 80's.  Anyway, my point is, the video may not been made available until 1989 and that's why it's placed between those two videos. :)

      Do we know anything about who runs her YouTube account? Maybe we could find out. It's hardly an issue but it did feel weird to me. I'm not sure if it was meant to be between Who's That Girl and Like a Prayer or not but it feels wrong :lol:

      I think the same person running her non-defunct fanclub and official website is in charge of the videos at Youtube, but I am not entirely sure.  It's really not a big deal, but I do understand why you think it belongs where it does since the song was released before the Like a Prayer album.  My guess, it's just a silly mistake, but maybe it has something to do with the video wasn't available until 1989.

  14. Which version of the Get Together video is on the Celebration DVD?

  15. I'm not into remixes or merch. I'll assume there's been nothing aside from those.
  16. Have we got anything out of this deal yet? I wasn't interested in the remix album if that was a part of it
  17. Madonna hasn't done anything I've enjoyed in years tbh. If I hadn't been a fan when I was younger I wouldn't care on any level now. She just reminds me of Baby Jane now.
  18. I'm glad the album wasn't called Lucky Star, that's corny tbh
