Roland Barthes

What thread is this ? I'm lost, all of sudden.

What about she wrote the song for the tv show but she's not the one singing it ? Could be for Lily Rose Depp. Just speculation.

The weeknd posted a pic from the Like A Prayer video on Twitter from the Cannes film festival. I noticed a few weeks back that Madonna had followed Lily Rose Depp on social media. First i thought Depp/Paradis 's daughter auditionned to play her in the biopic but now i'm wondering if Madonna is involved in The Idol. We know she has been close to Jeremy O. Harris, one of The Idol and Euphoria showrunner. Maybe she's making a cameo or that Max Martin track was written for the show.

I doubt it. She's in full rehearsal mode. A new belgium choregrapher is arriving, i don't see why she'd do that (even if i like the idea). Kylie did not join Madonna on stage during the Rebel Heart Tour's australian leg after she posed with Guy O. on Insta and was invited to. Won't ever happen again now.

Piers Morgan, is that you or Megyn Kelly ?

The video filmed itself.

Stay off the internet until the tour ends.

OMG ! What are the chances ??? Hahah

No, i found them in Flickr, i avoided Times Square like the plague (I just went around that time for an anti war protest and the police was so violent that it stopped before it even happened) That store sucked a$$. I tried to go to Tower on Broadway for her in store appearance but too much people and rain so i went to the Deitch Gallery instead to see the Xstatic process exhibit.

I don't want to ruin the whole album for everybody but it's on every track, it's more prominent on Borderline (and annoying) but it's also on Lucky Star, Physical Attraction, Think Of Me in that same league you can add the rattle snake sound all over Incredible

It sounds more organic somehow which is something i would have never thought i'd say about IC. I can't wait for Erotica and Like A Prayer (and the whole discography) on Dolby Atmos now. Q Sound was just an early version of Dolby Atmos (and a later version of Azimuth)

Lucky Star was the best mix made by Pettibone/Shimkin/Hotoda on IC (along Vogue). I remember Reggie Lucas saying in a later interview that Madonna did not want a guitar on Lucky Star because she had a beef with a guitarist on stage once blah blah blah, Pettibone/Shimkin/Hotoda made the guitar more prominent in their mix so maybe that's why she does not like it. Shame. What i've always hated on IC is the best part of Cherish (the vocal break with the background singers) was cut making the song bland and not worthy anymore of being on IC

So this Borderline update is also a hint about how the 1st album reissue will sound like..

I'm gonna save you time. First trans people are being killed for what they are. Killed. Not just harrassed on the internet but killed. I see what my trans friends face DAILY on Facebook, terfs trolls joining their pages and profiles to tell them they should kill themselves. So there's no absolutely no discussion there. And IRL it's less vocal, they just get killed. Killed. Like dead. It's not like they are being told they are transphobic because they have transphobic ideas and they express them then cry victim. No they are being killed. And anyone partiipating online in these discussions, saying "i'm not transphobic but..." are active actors in these killings. Regarding plastic surgery, tattoos, sexuality, abortion, transition....: people's bodies, their choice ! People must be allowed to do whatever they want to do with their bodies. People discussing other people's bodies or personnal choices they make is their prerogative. They don't need your permission or mine, your opinion, mine or anyone's unless they ask. BUT since people keep thinking they must have a say about what perfect strangers do with their lives then they must deal with people telling them to eff off. If you can't deal with people telling you to eff off, telling you what your "opinions" are then don't make them publicly. I don't want to discuss with a terf or someone who thinks women dressing sexy deserve to be sexually harrased. There's absolutey no discussion there. They just need to be told the scum they are and if they can't deal with it, their problem. I was not always like this, i was prejudiced too. So convince i was right and then you meet people. They are no longer an idea but your friends, your family and then you see how dangerous the world is for them. How brave they are to be who they want to be in a society that judges and puts everyone in a box when everyone wants to be unique and respected, yet most of us partiipate into limiting others in their freedoms because instead of doing the work, meaning working on ourself to understand why we are prejudiced, we'd rather judge and denigrate. I won't tand silent when limited and narrow minded people try to maintain the statu quo, to control the narrative and the world because they are scared of what does not look like them or fit in the boxes they want to trap everybody. That's what bothers me, not someone extending a truly joke beyond it's past date or people being outraged because some people deny people of what they are or wear like it's their business. That's when it becomes MY business. And i won't stand by reading phobic stuff without saying how stupid it is.

So people making transphobic and sexist remarks on a Madonna forum does not bother you ? What bothers you is when they are called out. Well i agree with you on one thing, this forum has turned into shit with dozens of trolls (probably the same no life self hating racist guy from south america), Maga lovers, terfs and transphobics assholes and that guy who thinks women deserves to be harrassed at the gym for not covering up. It really, really puzzles me how these people can be Madonna fans when she's a trans supporter (Vogue anyone ? Paris Is Burnng her favourite movie from 91 ?) has trans collaborators and a woman who's been criticized for undressing and wanted to bomb the white house because Trump was president then. I TRULY try to understand what Madonna these people are fans of, certainly not the Madonna or they've just nevr paid attention. And don't get me started on fans of other female artist coming here to derail the threads, making ones, to downplay what Madonna is or has done and then play victims when they are called out for their pueril schemes. I'm not against people saying transphobic stuff, freedom of speech, but i will surely tell them they are transphobic pieces of shit whenever they do and if that is going to ban me from the forum, so be it. I'm most of the time blocking people i disagree with including that annoying truly troll because i don't make the rules here and he's free to say what IT wants in my book as long as it's not insulting and diminishing, degrading and insulting a category of people Madonna champions. But i won't shut up when i read transphobic and rape apologist stuff. I won't regret regret being being baned for it because at least i'd know what kind of place this is.

Throwback Times square in april of 2003 Virgin megastore and MTV studios

They all look like shit on this pic. It's takn from a long distance, everything is in a blur.

Here comes Madonna's duet with AI https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrtDn6EO9n7/

I remember in the first issue of Encyclopedia Madonnica, Matt Rettenmund claimed she sang "it makes no difference if you are straight or gay" in some original version of Vogue. I wonder where he got that from and it never was mentionned ever again.

Since that insta reel she did with Candy Shop as background music, writing the titles of her most famous songs and asking which one we would like to hear, i'm 100% sure she's perfectly aware of our Candy Shop fatigue and she'll probably troll us with it in one way or another. think bout those "3 notes" Tony talked about...definitely the 3 repetitive ones from the intro (the signature of Pharrell on all his songs). I can hear the screams, the meltdowns, i picture that scene from "Death Becomes Her" when Goldie Hawn in group therapy wants to talk about Madeline Ahston again.

i'm surprised she did not go with posting ALL the live versions available of Candy Shop in there.

I was never the biggest George Michael fan but his legacy deserves to be handled better. It really breaks my heart how poorly his work is showcased. I don't know who is in charge of it, it seems like it used to be his sister but she passed, i don't know if his estate sold everything to a company or not. Apparenty he made it clear when he was alive that he did not want any unreleased material to be released.

She's just waking up from a fuzzy dream
