OK. We Still don' t know anything and have no confirmation. Just to sum up the situation as of today.

They should not cast anyone for the part and film in subjective camera as her life seen through her eyes and the spectator can be in Madonna's shoes.

It's not news but speculation from me. He's out of Maverick and Warner Music is restructuring since chinese investors became the biggest shareholders during quarantine.

We'll get an announcement that Guy Oseary is getting a super high position at Warner first.

Nakhane said himself they did not collaborate together (on an insta story last year).

I agree that this pandemic is no joke but we can no longer believe that age + wealth = wisdom* like we used to...too many examples that this is not true, look at Trump Madonna was always able to tap into the mainstream because she used to feel its pulse by oing out and interract with the world but since she moved back to the United States from England a decade ago she isolated herself so much, surrounded herself with minions only....she's not intellectually challenged by her dancers (a glimpse at their social media accounts and you know they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer) by friends who are not on her payroll. I think something has changed in her after the adoption of David and especially the worldwide backlash she got for it, she expected more support from friends and family and did not get it. Somthing already changed after the riding accident between her and Guy. Christopher's book coming on the heels of all that and turning 50 which she seems to have dreaded...Caresse's suicide....A lot happenned. She also got fucked by Tracy Anderson and the guy who usd to run her Raising Malawi charity. Movies did not work. there are a lot of reason for her to have isolated so much. And that cut her off from the world, from mainstream pop culture. And as hard as it is to read some criticsm that is being made, it's a good thing her own fans are calling her out because it comes from a place of love and not hate. After, for most of us, she's the one who taugh us to challenge other people on their beliefs. *a new study shows a decline in cognitive capacities in boomers no matter the gender, race, wealth... https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-08/osu-bbs073120.php?fbclid=IwAR1x9O-OvuvyXJ4zzp5yWAorjwvj_OLqD-D_YpZ2yFE65DZjN7mlzDpgJOw

I adore Bowie but if he was that smart how come he did not manage to make a decent album from a to Z after Let's Dance ? We had to wait for Black Star and his death for that. Outside or 1. Outside, the better version was almost it but he had to add a stupid storyline that made no sense. Sometimes it feels like Bowie had the Elton John syndrom, without drugs the classic and perfect albums from the 70's came from cocaine. I know people put ded people on a pedestal as soon as they die but bowie was not perfect. No one is. And that's fine. Stop looking at celebrities like they are superhumans and act surprised when they behave like they believe they are. Madonna is not perfect.

Looking for Mercy could have stayed in the vault. Remove Bitch i'm loca and Faz Gostoso to the deluxe version and put Ciao bella in their place and the album is pretty good. Then remove all process on her voice, tweak the lyrics in Killers and put Dino de Santiago instead of Maluma on Medellin and change the title to Lisboa (Medellin story is what she experienced in Portugal) and the album is cohesive. It won't still be a diva cheese fest album for provincial gay bars either where they still wear bootcut jean's and listen to Eurovision version of edm.

I just want to say not all french people believe in that shit As for Madonna, she needs to surround herself with adults that are more clever than she is to learn from them. For a few years now she's surrounded herself with tools who are in awe of her and she lectures them like she's god. She needs someone to tell her off. Like real friends do because people on your payroll don't.

Most Trump supporters are not QAnons, i was specifically talking about QAnons. I absolutely did not talk about the rest of the stuff you said nor it is the topic discussed here. Maybe you had to get it out of your chest, good for you. I talked about QAnons because they are the ones leaving comments about Madonna's satanism on Instagram but also about her taking adrenochrome drug and pedophilia. They are the ones behind pizzagate too. Madonna is not their sole famous target. They also are the ones making all these conspiracy theories online bout coronavirus being a hoax made by democrats. They also make all these anti masks memes. Today Twitter finally adressed the matter and banned them and their publications. They are a fringe of the Trump supporters, radical & self proclaimed white supremacists.

But satanism is part of the imagery of catholicism. It always makes me laugh when people who reject religion use satanic artefacts and symbolism when it's part of the bible too. Without catholicism there's no satanism. It's the same bullshit from the same book. One can also use satanic symbolism just because it's arty same with using crosses or madonnas (pun) when you don't believe in god. The painters and illustrators whom depicted hell and the devil, created this imagery are the same who painted heaven and the whole catholic iconography. God and the devil both come from the same mind, like Harry Potter and Voldemort

These comments and articles come from QAnons, Trump supporters from the far right, white supremacists...ALL celebrities who dared oppose their Agent Orange get the same comments....usually they also are anti masks, anti vaxers and anti BLM. Most of these comments also come from bot farms. I'm a journalist and i work on this subject (in France).

Mercy is so pretty.

Stop giving it views and promoting it. I work in magazines and online publications, i know how this works. it's clickbait. Funny how the writer is a white girl...maybe she should resign and stop writing stuff and leave her job to a black girl.

who's that girl ?

i'm speculating because there's no obvious reason why the best selling female artist has not her back catalogue remastered (at least). Maybe she does not need the money, maybe if we all stop buying super expensive concert tickets she'll be forced to work on her back catalogue :) Maybe we should bombard her instagram comments about that. She surely is the one blocking things since warner or any label wouldn't pass on the potential extra dollars this would bring them.

I think Madonna does not want Warner make dollars off her back now. She did like being sued for Maverick and having to sell her parts in the company. (even though the ceo's who sued her are maybe retired now or left). One thing that frightens me with M is if she's ever to make remastered deluxe versions of her albums, she'll have a hand in them and if she does to themwhat she does editing her concerts...... Even PJ Harvey will have ALL her back catalogue including b-sides and demos re-released between this late august and 2021.

If i remember well the Barcelona show was filmed by Sky Channel for the world, other tv stations in Europe & Australia dealt with Sky for broadcast on their own stations. If a broadcaster has a copy then it should be Sky.

Honey dijon kept mentionning these remixes over and over....i hope it's a hint that Madonna listens to her very closely nowadays and a collab is definitely happening (a girl can dream ok ?)

I wish it could have been at least a b-side on Oh Father with remixes by Shep Pettibone (most likely). An acetate of the track was made by Warner. I don't know if it would havebeen the 3rd or 4th single from the album but by october 1989 the Batman soundtrack was done commercially even with the release of the movie overseas, people had already buy the soundtrack the previous summer. Scandalous (a very good track), the Arms of Orion and The Future (brilliant and the Orbit remixes are even better) were flops in the charts. And maybe Prince was not very happy when Madonna turned down the part he offered her in Graffiti Bridge. In french Rolling Stone around 1990, Mondino said he was approached to shoot the video and the idea was to show skin like in the movie "Hiroshima, my love" when a couple makes love and we only see their naked bodies very close up (no legs, tits etc...). I keep telling you guys to read "Siren Song" by Seymour Stein because i read it during quaratine and it was captivating, Mo Ostin is an asshole. and Madonna put up with a lot shit backstage at Warner even when she was at the top.

Mo Ostin, the CEO of warner objected to it because of the Batman soundtrack. The video was supposed to be directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino as he once said in an interview.

You can read some pages of Seymour Stein's "Siren Song" here https://books.google.fr/books?id=8c0rDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=seymour+stein+madonna+siren+song&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjyhfuqlYHqAhXyx4UKHeCDBmQQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q= madonna &f=false

To really understand the bond between Madonna and Martin you must read this essay written by a friend who knew them http://www.geocities.ws/madonnamax/interviews/beforefame.html

That's exactly it. Madonna did not like the Edo Bertoglio cover (that looked a lot like what he did for another singer Cristina who passed away this year). In his book "Siren Song", Seymour Stein says that Madonna asked the art direction at Warner to not go with this cover and told Martin it was a decision made by the label Another version came from Michael Rosenblatt who was in charge of Madonna at the time, he thought she was not blonde enough on the pics. Warner US had no interest in Madonna at that time. She was in fact signed under WEA the european branch of Warner so she had no real support and hence why she did so much promo in Europe for Holiday. Warner started getting interested when Borderline exploded and the album sales went up. It's all in Seymour Stein's book.
