Well they'd never compare to the hardcore Swifties who are almost capable of counting each hole of her sweater and calculate when her next album is coming. Madonna with Future presented the world's end from human stupidity leading to an environmental reaction, something we all fear will happen sooner or later. There was fire, there was hail and blizzard, probably radiation too, hence the masks with flowers (probably giving off rare oxygen). But people never discuss the cute things she does. Fans never discuss the cute things she does. They only care about the notes she never hit. Good thing Future is getting some attention now. Maybe those morons have good music taste after all.
 

With the conspiracy theorists after Madonna right now and mean spirited people, I imagine that once again she feels like "Joan Of Arc". Have we all been there where people have things so wrong on us, we can't get it through, and finally, we just give up and then something or someone catches us? I have. Honestly, I don't know how she or anyone takes it sometimes? My heart hurts.
Who else loves this song?
From Rollingstone:
There’s a song called “Joan of Arc” on the new album — she’s a historical figure you’ve long admired.
I’ve always been drawn to her story. More than anything, drawn to her commitment to what she believed in. In the face of death, she did not back down. And that is a theme that resonates with me. And women need female role models like that. There’s not a lot. I mean, she was burned at the stake after leading her country to victory, after defeating the English. I mean, the idea that instead of celebrating her, they called her a heretic because she was dressed like a boy, and how could this person, this one girl, be so victorious and so clever to have the strategy and knowledge to wage, and win, a war? There must be something wrong with her. OK, she’s a witch. Now we have to destroy her. And she didn’t back down, and I admire that. 
But in the lyrics you say you’re not her, not yet. 
Meaning, I’m not ready to be burned at the stake. Not yet. That does really require an elevated soul, you know? When you are really, really ready to die for what you believe in. I mean, obviously people like Martin Luther King Jr., they’re extremely inspiring to somebody like me. Because, obviously, he was told time and time again, “If you keep doing this, you’re going to keep getting arrested. There’s a lot of people who want to kill you.” He understood that this was his journey, this was his destiny. And it’s just that there’s not a lot of women like that. 
What cause would you be willing to. . . 
What would I be willing to die for? 
Only because you’re talking about how you’re not there yet. 
I would die for my children. For sure. But, you know, the whole thing that happened to Malala [Yousafzai] for instance, that she was shot with the intent to kill because she was going to school, or was promoting education through her blog or whatever. That really makes me want to start a war. I don’t know who I’d be fighting, but do you know what I mean? The idea that a girl can’t have an education is unspeakable, to me. But all forms of discrimination drive me crazy. If you’ve seen my film secretprojectrevolution, it’ll help you understand. It’s really important. But when I was on tour, all these things were happening, with Pussy Riot, Malala being shot at, you know, gays being arrested for being gay in Russia. There were so many crazy things happening in the world at the time, like, the growing fascist movement that I perceived, that I witnessed while I was in Europe. All of these crazy things were happening, and it really freaked me out.
What did you make of it all?
I felt like we were really going backwards, humanity was going backwards. And I felt like I was witnessing the collapse of civilization as we know it. And now, you know, with all of the things that have happened here in America, what happened in Paris, what’s happening around the world with Boko Haram, there’s a lot of causes that get me going and that make me think, you know, “Let’s go. I’m ready to fight for all these people, for all people who are discriminated against for their religion that they choose, their sexual preference.” All of these things. I really can’t take it. I feel personally wounded by it, and I feel like it’s my job as a human being, as an artist, as a mother, as a woman, to fight for all these people.
Such an emotional performance.....
 
Lyrics: Joan of Arc
Each time they take a photograph
I lose a part I can't get back
I wanna hide, this is the part where I detach
Each time they write a hateful word
Dragging my soul into the dirt
I wanna die
I never admit it
But it hurts
I don't wanna talk about it right now
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet
But I'm in the dark, yeah
I can't be superhero right now
Even hearts made out of steel can break down
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet
I'm only human
Anything they did to me, said to me
Doesn't mean a thing, 'cause you're here with me now
Even when the world turns its back on me
There could be war but I'm not going down
One little lie I can ruin my day
Words are like weapons they betray
When I am afraid, one word of kindness it can save me
I don't wanna talk about it right now
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet
But I'm in the dark, yeah
I can't be superhero right now
Even hearts made out of steel can break down
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet
I'm only human
Anything they did to me, said to me
Doesn't mean a thing, 'cause you're here with me now
Even when the world turns its back on me
There could be war but I'm not going down
Being destructive isn't brave
They couldn't say it to my face
One day I won't care
But for the moment I'm not there
I'll just close my eyes, and let you catch me now
I don't wanna talk about it right now
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet
But I'm in the dark, oh yeah
I can't be superhero right now
Even hearts made out of steel can break down
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet
I'm only human
Anything they did to me, said to me
Doesn't mean a thing, 'cause you're here with me now
Even when the world turns its back on me
There could be war but I'm not going down
Anything they did to me, said to me
Doesn't mean a thing, 'cause you're here with me now
Even when the world turns its back on me
There could be war but I'm not Joan of Arc

She didn't become the queen of commercial music on good news and positive stories. Let it be once again

Future is such a good song, yet so different for Madonna, once again...

My god...this video is having more daily views than most Madonna music videos, LOL!
The comment section is all about corona virus.

Well they'd never compare to the hardcore Swifties who are almost capable of counting each hole of her sweater and calculate when her next album is coming. Madonna with Future presented the world's end from human stupidity leading to an environmental reaction, something we all fear will happen sooner or later.

Wasn't she unsuccessfully writing a musical when she decided to just make a damn COADF instead? She has my blessings then  Anything that keeps her into music

I don't know if she's serious but a YES from me as long as she's IN the musical! But I have to admit, I'd rather her do a greatest hits tour next and some new songs to go with it. Adding: but I'm not picky. I'll take anything. 
 

My feelings are kinda mixed. Many celebrities out there tell us to stay home, their home looking like some luxurious paradise compared to ours. I find it rather funny, not offensive. And she was absolutely right about the infection itself not discriminating, despite the difference it can make among people of various incomes. That said, she could indeed make some more useful posts. I mean when she wanted she made videos about using a beauty roller and applying day cream or whatever. She could talk about more practical things in her own sexy way. Be a little more humble so people can feel better, as they're doing the same things as Madonna right now. But the whole Madame X views the world from a third point of view thing might look a bit silly at this point. What's there to promote any more?

Oh the irony of people criticizing Madonna for having a point of view, saying she’s out of touch, when just a few, short weeks ago they were complaining about their show being cancelled! Boo hoo you. A concert that many of us paid hundreds, if not thousands of dollars/euros/pounds for - but that’s okay because all the terrible things going on in the world didn’t matter back then, as long we got to see our show!
Now this virus is on our doorstep, and she, like everyone one else is scared and vulnerable, and yet people seem to forgot everything she did during the AIDS epidemic, and all the things she’s been doing quietly raising money, building schools, orphanages and hospitals for an impoverished and long-forgotten, African nation, ravaged by AIDS, over the last 2 decades! Was she out of touch with reality then, or maybe people just didn’t give a shit, because that wasn’t their problem?
Just because she has hard-earned wealth and privilege, doesn’t mean she can’t be worried for her friends and family. It’s not just about her. I’m sure she has elderly relatives and that was the point she was making - coronavirus doesn’t care how wealthy, famous or celebrated you are. There are no barriers and there is no cure. No one is immune and being treated in a clean, private hospital or a dirty, public hospital won’t make any difference. Where you live and how many staff you have is utterly irrelevant. If you get it and you’re a certain age or have underlying health problems, then you’re at a higher risk of dying. That’s it. People should stop denouncing celebrities for their wealth and privilege because it’s utterly irrelevant.
Saving the world is not Madonna’s problem, but fans on this forum should know far better than most, how much she has already done to help it.

Although, at least lyrically and in some other ways, she has done some very beautiful things in the years that came. Time Stood Still, Devil Wouldn't Recognize You, Voices, Falling Free, Wash All Over Me etc. are quite the proof that she hasn't lost it. Still waiting for a sound majestic as POG though to get lost in

some artists would kill for a record like MDNA tbh, I think I've read somewhere that Madonna's "worst" could be someone else's best

The Power of Goodbye is a masterpiece of a ballad that even she will never be able to surpass.

Not necessarily about the current state of things. Just simple and peaceful.
 

I listened to Medellin today and it gave me quarantine vibes
I took a sip and had a dream and I woke up in Medellín
The sun was caressing my skin, another me could now begin
I took a trip it set me free
For once I didn't have to hide myself

The only one I ALWAYS skip is Candy Perfume Girl.
But Bitch I'm Loca is definitely second!
Third is Runaway Lover.
(Then of course the ones that many mentioned: Spanish Lesson, B-day Song...)
 
EDIT. I shouldnt have replied before reading the full post by @Blue Princeasking which songs we avoid not because we hate them but because they have some disturbing link with our past.
I think songs help you face the past, so I don't find any...
I will then put it this way: I avoid the ones I mentioned because I don't want to find out that I hate Madonna's music 

So I'm bored and this is my second topic  We all have songs that we avoid because they're just bad. But right now I am wondering if you have any Madonna songs that you avoid because they are so precious that you fear wearing them out or they are associated with some bad or peculiar memories that come back each time you listen to them. For me such a precious song is This Used To Be My Playground because I was in my teens when I first listened to it and too afraid to grow and leave the safety of my home. I get emotional when I listen to it and do so rarely. Another one would be Sorry, which I used to send to a friend I had, whom I secretly liked in a different way, everytime we fought for unimportant reasons. The song reminds me of that sexual tension and made me cringe for years before going back on my constant rotation. So do you have any? 

Hung Up and a lot of the MDNA album (Masterpiece, Best Friend, I Don't Give A) were some of my go-tos when I was going through my first heartbreak, but thankfully I don't have to avoid them anymore and I can listen to them without feeling gut-punched. It just took awhile.
