They confirmed it in an interview for the french magazine Paris Match in 2004. In 1997 the Icon update letter mentionned that Madonna had approached Trent Reznor to produce Ray of Light. Massive Attack should have had a hand in co-producing Bedtime Stories but since the 1994 summer was a world soccer cup year they turned the offer down because they wanted to watch the games. (interview in The Face where they also said she told them she fucked to their album "Blue Lines") Madonna thought about using both Nile Rodgers and Trevor Horn for Like a virgin but Rodgers asked for full production (read in Seymour Stein's book Siren Song how Warner wanted to screw Madonna up on the benefits from the album because Nile Rodgers asked for 20% of the sales and Warner had no interest in Madonna when the contract was made then Borderline happened and they wanted to revise the contract. In fact Stein says Warner US had no interest in Madonna before she became successful so he had to sign a distribution deal with Warner in Europe (wea) for her first contract) Madonna thought about using Nellee Hooper for Erotica, he turned her down. Madonna was supposed to be in "Under the cherry moon" but she turned the offer down. Then Prince offered her a role in Graffiti Bridge, that's the reason why she went to Minneapolis in november of 1987, that's when they started writing "Love song" and other stuff. He had written several songs for her character. She left without anything being finished then he came to see her in NY when she was doing "Speed the plow" with the demos they made, that's when they finalized "Love song".music was going to bean album with Orbit and brit dj Sasha but she didn't like his submissions.

Maybe we'll finally know if gaga really killed lina morgana because she was antivax.

The reason is as simple as Jaime King directed both shows.

Maripol did a lot of Grace Jones stuff for the stage and she eventually used them again for Madonna when she started. She also did a lot of stuff for Debbie Harry and she re-used them too. For instance the Like a virgin wedding dress was already a prop in Blondie's and Grace Jones shows. Were they original ? No since it wasn't their idea either.

I hated Madonnation because the mods seemed to be mental inquisitors but i've just been insulted by someone here (and i wasn't the only one) so i don't know if it's any better now. You may disagree with someone but name calling and insulting is never an option and in a way it invalidates your point (even if you are right). I'm a bit disappointed by Infinity now.

.....

Since movie production has been stopped for an unknown time because insurance companies won't take that risk and without insurance you can't make a movie....maybe we'll get an album instead

Hopefully (even if it went number one just because it's on sale) it will show her there's a demand for her back catalogue and maybe she'll treat it better. I hope Warner took note and will harrass her & Oseary now. We, at least, need remasters.

The only reason we're in quarantine is because we're not tested. Once you are tested you are less in the unknown. Stven Klein is her neighbour, she bought her land in the Hampton's when she visited his estate there, there's only one parcel separating both properties and she bought it (and several others for privacy). I'm happy to see her with Joey Arias and Suzanne Bartsch, that's New York nightlife royalty, where she belongs.

This is getting her a lot of press. That's better than another Instagram cringe moment Other albums are starting to chart as well : American Life for instance.

Isn't Take a bow her single that stayed the longest at the top of the Billboard chart ? The album was pretty popular, at least in the US since the sound was RnB and US oriented.

They are not against Trump but pro Trump, their name is QAnons. They harrass Tom Hanks too.

"acting is about 'telling the truth'" errr. no, it's the total opposite. Acting is lying.

I don't know about the style but thematically when Madame X was released and she talked about global migrations and roots in Portugal i thought she had never approached that part of her history. Her italian grand-parents (Sylvio Ciccone parents) were first generation migrants in the USA, they were very young when they migrated. They had a very difficult life in Pittsburg, all their kids were alcoholics besides Sylvio/Tony (with all thse alcoholics in his family and among his own chidren it's weird his dream was to have a winery), Tony was the only one who managed to study (thanks to the military...that's also how he met Madonna Fortin through her brother who was based with Sylvio in Texas). The Ciccones were really depressed. On her mother side it's totally different, the Fortin family is one of the oldest family that migrated to north America from France. Julien Fortin left France in 1650 and was an adventurer. The Fortins use the term "Fortintude" to describe the adventurous spirit of the family, even Madonna's maternal family used it. And even though she kind of covered some themes on "Like a Prayer" it seems she only scratched the surfaced. I wish she would reconnected with the teenager Madonna in Michigan, what drove her, her life, what she liked and disliked, there's a great song to be written about her teenage bedroom IMO and her dreams, struggles. And i was amazed she talked about this in one of her quarantine video, how she kept thinking about her father and his family, that she never thought about it before. So maybe.... In fact it could be an autobiographical album. Instead of impersonating all these Madame X characters (badly) she could go back to every Madonna at mny important stages of her life to tell us how she really felt then.

They are also after Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson plus Bill Gates, George Soros etc....The same ones who did pizzagate with Hilary Clinton. They use people stupidity, like South Park crazy, to manipulate them into buying Trump's lies.

Trump supporters known as qanons (look it up on google). the same that are protesting saying covid-19 is a lie to ruin Trump's reelection.

Madonna posted anti Trump videos so of course the New York Post is coming to the rescue of agent orange. Michael Musto a lifelong fan ? Hater yes. Brad Jeffries worked with her on the Virgin Tour 35 years ago. But the Liz Rosenberg thing is true nonetheless.

EWWWWW Well at least she's gonna get money out of it.

Like i already said, Qanons are people from the american far right and mostly Trump supporters. It's a shame she's their target but it's also indicative of the fear they have of her power and how she can expose Trump to the world (even though we already know he s a piece of shit). Better they are against her than supporting her. https://www.mediamatters.org/qanon-conspiracy-theory/owner-8chan8kun-helps-create-qanon-super-pac-and-running-paid-ads-it-his If you really want to get into that fight on her Instagram & Twitter, don't engage with them, google the countless publications debunking and exposing them and post the link in the comments. That's the only way. Information vs Fake News.

Trumpists. What did you expect ?

Gimme ALL Your Love is bad but Girl Gone wild is even worst.

I remember Victoria Abril (one of the chicas Almodovar) saying in an interview on french tv that she hated Hollywood, everything was fake but one evening she found herself at a party with Madonna, bored as well and M went to her and talked lenghtly about spanish movies and abril said she was the only real person she met during her stay. Not only was she aware of spanish movies but she was very interested in it and in Victoria's career besides Almodovar.

I know, right ? They scare the shit out of me. Not because they are after Madonna but because they seem to truly believe this shit. It's been debunked numerous times just like the drug celebrities take (an invention from Hunter s. thomson in his book "Las Vegas parano"). China has launched a huge propaganda to rewrite history tonot be blamed for the covid-19 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/18/chinas-coronavirus-propaganda-campaign-is-putting-lives-risk/ I think celebrities and not only Madonna should get off social media for the time being because they are easy targets. People don't read, they get their infos from Karen on Facebook....this is the result of the collapse of the education system in the US and even abroad. Dumb people are loud because they need to prove they are not stupid and they empower other stupid people in the process.

I am amazed at the comments from theory complotists. I knew people were stupid but i learn everyday more and more about the depth of their crass ignorance.
