Ciao Bella is missing from my Spotify playlists so bad...
And more importantly- it could have been on so many official ones and elevate her streams.

Everyone is tired of all the measures and so is she. Madonna isn't much of a role model these days the way she lives her life and we don't have to imitate her smoking, tattoos, walking around without a mask. But for me, it's a different thing to catch someone ignoring the restrictions on my bus and a different thing to want to see everyone on my phone wearing masks and staying hidden. If she is doing what's forbidden, she should be reprimanded and fined. If not, let her be and find other things to make you feel better about your life right now. After all, it takes two to catch a virus. If you catch it, you have been careless yourself. And it's damn okay, we all have been...

I think it's Get Together for me. For those nights you get dressed to not come back home alone

For me it was an instant crush and I remember quite a few of my teen friends enjoying it. As I have said before, it's the type of song that has an identity already by the third second and I approve of the somewhat dated sound as it had to be reflective of her past. Why necessarily have a fresh sounding song on a GH album? It would make the others sound older. Also, if there is one video that must go HD next, it's definitely Celebration.

I don't think it's terrible as I don't believe Madonna has any terrible records. It's definitely the weakest. I think the biggest issue for me is that the production isn't great. Just look at how much clearer and better this mix of Turn Up the Radio is:
Superstar is an absolutely diabolic track, however. WHAT was she thinking?!
Still wondering who made it Dance/Club number 1.
Then again Britney made a similar song Ooh La La the year after, so I'm guessing there was a general crisis.
I've even defended BDay Song as it reminds me a lot of the Beatles and the whole LSD hallucinatory culture.

Over 1 million of likes now. It's her biggest number of likes for an instagram post right ?
Not yet. She achieved the same thing with a few more thousand likes last May. With an old photo where her breasts were showing again. She can't fail with that bod

I'd like her career to end almost simultaneously with her life, with a last album like Blackstar by David Bowie. I can't imagine her existing without being Madonna the artist. She has such a young voice, suitable for so many genres. She could be making some exquisite last projects without having to tour or keep up with anybody else.

Now I just find Timothee Chalamet too twinky for her. Bet she broke that boy when they dated

So I watched Juno the other day. Apart from the story arc being somewhat nice (good movie all in all), I didn't find most of the dialogues to be Oscar worthy much. 'It all started with a chair', 'she smells like soup', 'he is the cheese to my macaroni'. I'm not sure if her leaving or staying is a good thing anymore, since the story arc is now already written in pop music history books with golden letters and the dialogues gotta be more clever than Juno's.

When there's women in music like Lizzo or Nicki or Megan that post so many photos like those and get praise for it, I think it's funny that the first thing we'd think about M is the backlash from some people. That way of thinking is part of the problem. We should be thinking about how we want to bury our faces between those tits instead.

I always see her tour films as creative projects on their own. We will never see any of her tours how they actually were except the old ones, and even the old ones are standard quality bootlegs that don't show how majestic those shows actually were... so, you either were there on the actual show or you weren't. We shouldn't expect the home release to be like a live experience cos it will never be, it's just a representation of her vision in another format. So it doesn't bother me if they change stuff or use any kind of trickery as long as it's well done.
As long as people who actually attended the tour don't watch the show now on screen, wondering whether it's the same they attended lol. I mean we were all let down when we found out that the actual BBMA performance didn't include any holograms. If she thought her tour was good enough, then she shouldn't enhance it a lot by trickery. Only what's necessary. Otherwise she should have used that technology for the actual tour.

I don't think any artist out there has that many great songs that can also be so vastly different. Pet Shop Boys were mentioned and yeah someone could say they have done songs like Love etc. as well as songs like Rent but the vocals and style remain always the same, you know straight from the start that any PSB song out of any decade, is a PSB song. Elvis too, adult MJ etc. But someone can hear Ray of light, Rescue me, Masterpiece, Bitch I'm Madonna, Material Girl and never believe it's the same person. I think about 5 years is the longest Madonna rested with the same style of music. After that she'd always open another door and make magic elsewhere.

Are you honestly trying to argue that Speak Now and Red don't count as "safe" when they were basic country-folksy/pop inspired albums that both sold over 4 million copies in the US each? Why are you pushing a narrative that Taylor's music is some deep indie genre that's pushing the envelope? I could sort of understand the argument earlier about Miley being a good performance and doing some outrageous things even if I personally found them forced, but this narrative of Taylor's music being different from the norm is frankly ludicrous to me, especially when discussing Red since the 2 biggest hits from that album were co-written and produced by Max Martin, aka the most generic songwriter/producer in the business even back then.
And how are Folklore and Evermore any different from the country albums that Taylor released when she first came out on the music scene? I don't understand how anyone could claim that is Taylor "reviving" anything; her relying on the country-folk sound again doesn't sound like innovation to me; genre hopping can be done right as we've seen with Madonna and a few other artists, but Taylor going from country-folk to pop and then back to a folksy sound within a decade isn't exactly a reinvention from my viewpoint.
Also you're going to have to be more specific about what "generation" means when talking about Taylor and Miley specifically, because you apparently don't count Beyonce or Pink yet you implied that Gaga, Demi, and Selena were from the same generation as Miley and Taylor despite all 7 of these girls releasing music at around the same time. So I'm a bit confused about that.
I'm only going to answer to the last bit to end your confusion. I counted Miley into the same generation as Demi, Ariana and Selena because they started off from TV shows and almost at the same time. Taylor Swift also started around 2006 although not from a TV show so I considered her too into the same generation. They were all teenagers then.
I don't think I mentioned Gaga at all. I think she belongs to a different generation because she was a young adult when she started. And Beyonce and P!nk are older than all of them, they are mothers, having started in the early 2000's.
So I am talking about generations and origins of the artists despite all of them releasing songs at some specific time.

I think your problem is that just because people don't call Madame X experimental, you assume people think it is bad.
The album is good. Very creative, with some experimental songs and some accessible stuff. But that isn't enough for you. You think it is edgy as a whole, but it isn't. The album has a dark vibe and that can easily fool anyone. Autotune, vocoders and other stuff she has done before.
There are other ways to praise it, like calling it profound, although even that can't be applied to every song, because it has its flaws.
P.S. Faz Gostoso is a basic song, and Madonna did a basic cover. A moment when Madonna decides to have some fun, instead of being genius.
The cover she did for Faz Gostoso is not basic. She took a basic song and turned it into a straight up banger, gave her vocals some intense highs and lows and added some hot jungle beats towards the end. IMO it's as good as a cover can get. You might mean that she didn't change the song instrumentation a lot or the genre but she shouldn't have. She made the original one sound flat now and no basic cover could do that. I believe she did a much better job with it than Fever.

Miley is vocally talented sure, but the Bangerz era was her at her most vapid and contrived. She tried so hard be attention-seeking and reckless and it was like watching Madonna lite, only without the artistry behind the controversy. I still think that Miley's VMA 2013 performance was the most ridiculous spectacle that I've ever witnessed in the history of that awards show.
As for Taylor, there's absolutely nothing "ballsy" about anything that she's done. She hasn't even been dragged by the media as much as y'all would like to think; the biggest controversy of her career was Kanye interrupting her at the 2009 VMAs, which only strengthened her career. She's come out on top in every feud that she's had, whether it was the various Kanye things, her feud with Katy Perry, or her feud with Scooter Braun. Feuds that most people sided with her on anyway. Thus far she's never had to endure any particularly nasty treatment by the media nor has she ever truly flopped, but there's nothing daring or courageous about what she's done considering that she's made the most radio-friendly, safe music in the history of pop.
We can't judge Miley on her Bangerz and her Dead Petz eras. Madonna herself has said that she was lucky enough to have a childhood far from the spotlight. Miley didn't, so she had to react somehow. I admire her for not attracting her audience out of pity, which is something I notice about Gaga, Selena, Demi and is something I definitely don't want Madonna to do. I'm sure Miley is finding her artistry the older she gets and she finally made her first quite well received record.
Taylor on the other hand, hasn't made only safe music. Why would an album like Speak Now or Red stand any chance in 2010 and 2012 when pop music was headed to a different direction? Why is Folklore and Evermore radio friendly exactly? When Madonna was pretending to be trendy with RnB back in 2008, Taylor ruled with country. When Madonna pretended to be trendy again with edm MDNA, Taylor ruled with country again and an album she almost completely wrote by herself. Whether she as a growing young woman was attacked enough or not by the media, let her and her family decide. I think she might be the only woman out there who can match Madonna and be revived with every era, standing on top or next to it for so long. It has to take balls to do that somehow. Pity and some good vocals only get you this far...
Oh and I'm talking about this generation of girls only. None of them is Beyonce. None of them is P!nk etc.

Miley is not another average/ordinary pop star. Her ruspy strong voice really stands out and her new Plastic Hearts aesthetic is most beautiful. She is also one of only two ballsy female artists of her generation, the other being Taylor Swift, because they've been attacked multiple times by media and public and managed to take it and turn it to their advance. She's made songs recently like Mother's Daughter and Midnight Sky that the rest of her peers could never put out or even record. Please don't put everyone into the same pot. From that generation of Disney/Nickelodeon girls, there is Selena Gomez with zero vocal abilities but attracting some great producers and making cute bops and solid records, there is Demi Lovato with good vocals but not much else interesting to her name and Ariana with good vocals also but no real interest to stand out besides looking cute and sounding sultry.

This isn't directed to you, but Madame X is hardly experimental except for maybe Dark Ballet and the song structure of God Control.
There are definitely more than a few mainstream tracks but it's not only two songs on Madame X that are experimental. Medellin is experimental. It could have been a banger or a ballad with some natural vocals but it's neither. Quite an experimental Madonna lead. Batuka and Killers are also somewhat traditional songs but with some electronic twists that make them different from what anybody big in pop has done recently. Also Come Alive with its choice of instruments. So I'd say about the first half of Madame X is very unpredictable, especially coming from a big pop artist and not an indie one.

Why does everyone dislike Push tho? I like that one!
Feels a little flat and repetitive compared to the rest of the album. I don't hear any catchy melody, only the Police interpolation saves the song a bit for me. I also don't enjoy Like it or not for the same reasons and also because her voice sounds distorted and too heavy for me. I Love New York is also considered a meh song on the record, but it has better melodies and a killer outro.

Just a thought, but maybe she and her engineers shouldn't be mixing sounds all drunk and high
It's serious work and people shouldn't have to be intoxicated to understand her show.
