    Let's just all be as homophobic as possible towards the most rich and famous LGBT people we know. That certainly helps in the current climate. 

    Or let's focus on the fact that Andy Cohen caters to housewives, and has stunningly shallow ideals of the LGBTQ community. He is Perez Hilton with lotsa de casha. I know it's entertainment TV, but I won't be giving any credit on being an LGBTQ icon just because he's rich and famous. 
     

    edit: 

    And there was not an ounce of homophobia in the comment by @ScottyJ you quoted. 

  2. With all the articles like rolling stone and billboard, about the video specifically, I'm glad the rollout seems to finally coordinated. Hopefully the directors cut of the video is coming too. Kinda feels like a relaunch. Or generate buzz for a new single? This deal is so hard to figure out how which direction it's going in. 
    Obviously, straight up deluxe reissues are coming, but it's like it's all gonna drop at the tour's kickoff. It's just seems less random with American Life this time. 

  3. I decided to do chronological order instead of favorite album. 

    They shift so much depending on my mood, so I just listed my go-to songs per album. 

     

    Madonna-Physical Attraction 

    Like A Virgin- Angel

    True Blue- Open Your Heart

    Like A Prayer- Till Death Do Us Part

    I'm Breathless- Vogue

    Erotica- Deeper And Deeper

    Bedtime Stories- Sanctuary tied with Inside Of Me

    Ray Of Light- Skin

    Music- Impressive Instant

    American Life- Intervention

    Confessions...- Get Together

    Hard Candy- She's Not Me

    MDNA- Love Spent

    Rebel Heart- HeartBreakCity

    MadameX- Crazy

  4. I wouldn't be mad to see a retrospective docuseries that also captures putting the  current show together during these months leading up to opening night. 
    Even if it's a straight-up, ToD/IGTTYAS type film, I personally find her voice and image way more interesting than a dramatized retelling. 
    But I'm also a documentary fan. 
     

  5. Whether she realizes it or not, what she's doing now is accepting being a legacy artist, while pushing forward and utilizing her back catalog to still be a current pop recording artist. 
    She's just taking longest, hardest, most challenging kicking and screaming route to take us there. 

    Edit;
    And I think the Warner reissues might be much bigger than we could imagine when the products finally start rolling out. Just a hunch.
    After all, SHE is curating them. #soon

     

  6. Reading this thread. SMH. 
     

    madonna is apparently here to disturb the peace. She has set a high bar for herself, and I'm guessing she knows that she won't ever be that "important" again. And if I were her, I'd be relieved to know that I could do and say whatever the fuck I wanted to because I've already set the bar NO ONE will ever be able to cross...Because it's too high. 
    This video is just another blip, and something we're going to talk about in a couple of years like it's Candy Shop. Or American Life. What she's doing now is tapping into the underground mainstream, and although it's not my cup, I'll still take a sip. 

    I've said for years and years on these forums is that it's like being on a forum for victims of an abusive relationship, or like someone having Stockholm syndrome. This video is NOT a big deal in her career unless it goes to number 1 and she has the last laugh. 
    The whole "Social Media Fandom!" shit is probably laughable to her. As it should be. 

  7. I've no problem at all with her experimenting with different sounds/genres or newer "underground" artists. I've no problem at all with her using strong or provocative imagery to make her point(s). 
    I do have a problem with the stunning lack of quality control surrounding her lately. She's essentially launching a sub-par photographer/video director's career with a bunch of rehashed ideas and truly horrible styling choices.

    I'm all for avant garde artistic expression,  and sometimes that doesn't gel well with a lot of people. Adding a new line or two to mashup someone else's song into one that she has consistently "reinvented" already just doesn't really say anything to me as a listener, or as a fan. I'm used to some head-scratching moments from her especially if the videos don't quite match the song for me, but the output is usually still high quality and makes me think of the song in a different way. Similar to how a book can be better than its movie version, or vice versa.  
     
    I don't hate this, it's just not intriguing or entertaining for me. If some like it, and get something from it, then she's done her job. 

  8. I like the pink hair. And pretty much anyone and at any age is gonna have to pull out the whole makeup bag to make the look work. It's not just the AARP crowd. 

    As far as her boyfriends are concerned, she's doing her thing. I mean, wasn't she French kissing 2 younger female friends in the back of a car just last week? Lol Sitting on a young man's lap for a photo is so very tame by comparison. 

  9. Great article. Thanks for sharing it here. 

    I remember that A&B were unknown prior to the WIFLFAG video mix, but I had no idea it was so specifically mixed for the video, or that it was what inspired the video itself. I'm surprised they didn't mention that the video single being released after MTV banned it. 

    I've always loved WO's work with Madonna. Even MDNA. 
     

    TY's mixes aren't usually my cup, but I don't hate them. 
     

    Shep's sound was so all over the place, not sonically, but literally: on the radio, MTV, the clubs (which I was too young to go to at the time), but there is still a unique sound that he achieved with Madonna's songs that I instantly fell in love with. And its why his Immaculate Collection mixes still sound timeless, save for the QSound effects.
