BIG venues all the way!!! Whoever thinks she can't fill them anymore is full of it! She is the most successful & highest grossing solo touring artist EVER! Period. That doesn't just go away so fast & easily. She has a HUGE back catalogue that would draw people no matter what if the setlists aren't full of nothing but fan favorites. If she starts doing a serious Greatest Hits Tour tho it wouldn't matter where she did it in a theatre or in an arena people would come. But the mass majority aren't going to come see a show based on one album that isn't really a success in the grand scheme of things. She could do multiple greatest hits tours over the next decade & revamp the setlists here & there & still manage to not cover half of her music. It just needs to be done right. Like the old tours. Shit do what Cher does & just stand in the middle of the stage the whole time while dancers & elephants & everything else in between do their thing around her. She doesn't have to jump rope, fly around on wires or do headstands and back bends anymore she's already done all that. Just sing the hits!!!! That's where the magic is! And do some new kick ass backdrop videos & more montage videos to focus on her legacy. That's my dream. Greatest Hits Tours all the way from here on out! Leave the promo tours & performing whole albums track by track for one-off MTV or Netflix specials. Tour around the world with hits! Just my opinion. Of course the fans will love whatever (at least I would anyway) & they would prefer theatre shows at the end of the day because that allows them to be closer to her which is evry fan's dream. But to draw the public masses - brings on the hits!!!!! And don't revamp them all. Perform original versions as much as possible!!!

Pffffffftt! That would be nice but probably will never happen again at that pace unfortunately. I wouldn't hold my breath for it just sayin!

If this song hits #1 on the Dance/Club charts (which I hope & think it will easily) will it count as another for Madonna or no? I have no idea how the "charts" work anymore it's so confusing to us "old timers" lol. Someone with some knowledge please school me on this. I am hoping it will only add to her achievements there she deserves it! This song is a BOP idc what the naysayers be sayin lolol!

I am done with this topic dude. I get your point thanks for being clear about the definition of "ignorant". I still stand by the fact tho that aside from the definition, "ignorant" to me is not a nice thing to say to someone for simply sharing their opinion whether they have a bunch of reasons or back up for said opinion or not. It's an insult in my eyes. What is the definition of opinion? You know what don't bother it's really OK. Like I said I get your point & I am not ready to argue with somebody on this subject because the truth is I really don't give a shit about him, or their relationship. Time will tell & I am sure they wont last. We need to just agree to disagree. Simple. Thanks for schooling me today tho I appreciate it & I am officially done commenting on anything more other than simple thank you's for things shared. These kinds of threads are really just pointless tbh no one is ever going to agree 100 with everyone else & I think that is a known fact. I should have known better but I can assure you I do now. I'm done talking about it but appreciate the constructive commenting. At the end of the day I will admit it has nothing to do with me so I really shouldn't have any strong opinion on the subject but I was just responding to the thread & idea that she is putting het time into something pertaining to him right now instead of herself. It's her life I admit that & she can do whatever she wants just like all of us can. Sorry for allowing myself to get so worked up on the topic I def learned a lesson from this - to not even waste my time trying to state my opinion on here because really that's not what this place is for. I want to enjoy coming here again like I always have - not dread it because of some stupid shit like this. Gonna go smoke a joint now & forget all about this nonsense & just hope that things get back to a good point soon because this year has sucked to be a Madonna fan - period. Just my opinion. Sorry if at any point I seemed to be attacking you for that I really am sorry. I am not a mean guy or someone who always thinks they are right and that's just it. I can see where it may have seemed that way by letting myself get so worked up for once on the subject of Madonna's "boys". Good day fellow M fan no harm done!

I hesitated saying anymore on this topic because tbh we need to just agree to disagree on this, but for the record Ego I see enough substance to back up opinion here just sayin & you calling someone ignorant for stating their opinion in a thread asking for said opinion is just well, egotistical! Like I said before, his stupid uneducated comments on the Covid crisis is more than enough reason to dislike someone & I am sure his influence on her right now is what lead her to post the same shit. Look how well that worked out for her! That's just 1 GOOD reason that was given, but you know what keep on preaching & taking up for him that's fine that you like him or are cool with the fact that he is in M's life right now you're entitled to feel that way! And you don't see anyone attacking you or calling you ignorant for it. Truth be told I really don't give a shit about him either but time will tell - it already has alot. I have ALWAYS stood by M & her choices & have never really had an opinion on her "men" before but in this instance - I don't like him. He is free to change my opinion & if he does I will be the first to give him credit but as it stands right now all I see is someone riding on the coattails of his sugarMama. Call me crazy that's fine I really don't care - speak your mind there's nothing to it. Vogue! And he's not even handsome or remotely good looking either just sayin too imho it's a joke to think that she would end up with someone like that I just don't see him being an intellectual "match" but who am I to think that?!? Gonna just leave it at time will tell & I really dont give a f f f f f f f..........

Exactly! All of you condemning me or anyone else for having an opinion shut the fuck up & don't turn around & condemn us for speaking our minds. I am not "judging" him just stating my opinions based on things I have seen or read. EVer heard the expression "First impressions are everything!" Well my first impression & many impressions since have been not so good when it comes to him I'm sorry. The main reason for me is the posting shit about Covid19 which I think is where she was convinced to post her stupid rant about the witch doctor alien sperm woman. I don't judge people for smoking weed I dabble in it myself so that is not my personal reason. I just simply get a bad vibe from him based on what I've seen so far & I am just sorry but I can't see what he would have in common with Madonna being one of the world's most successful pop music ICON's other than maybe a passion for music & dancing. Oh & maybe a big dick?!? I don't know why I speak my opinion sometimes because there are so many people here who don't understand where my view comes from & that's fine to each his own but this is just how I feel. Guess time will tell & we will see if this lasts or just turns into another Guy Ritchie/Dennis Rodman situation?? I will stick by what I said though about spending time on his whatver it may be - video, album, whatever! Go sit down & focus on your own fucking legacy & give us fans who have helped make you what you are today - not to mention the riches you & your family enjoy - something special like unreleased music, an official tour Blu-Ray DVD box set featuring all the tours that we all paid damn good money to go see, or just simply work on preserving your fucking legacy because I hate to tell you girl (& I do still love ya) but it's falling apart fast & even though I have always stuck up for you in the past it is getting old to even me a true die-hard fan! Something about it like I said gives me Whitney Houston/Bobby Brown vibes. Throw stones if you want just calling it like I see it. And I am the nicest critic among the bunch I can assure you! Oh & for the record my opinion has NOTHING to do with the color of his skin. He just seems "shady" to me. Periodt. Rant done. Moving on

For some reason it reminds me of Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown - TOXIC!!!! Snap out of it!!!!!

I hope not either but I have a really bad feeling it is I have never judged M's choice in men even though in my heart I really didn't care for many of them (Guy R., Dennis Rodman, Jesus......) but I literally CAN NOT stand this guy for some reason & I really don't even know why. Something about him gives me the literal creeps. He seems to be draining her of something big time & I swear if I find out she is spending time right now on his shit instead of working to give us (her fans) something we are DYING to see & deserve especially after this shit show that was the MX Tour - that may just be the 1 thing that finally turns my unconditional love for her in a new direction. Please God don't let this be true. Focus on YOU M he is just riding your coattails & is NO DIFFERENT from all these other young immature boys that you have already gone thru.... I just can't!

NO NO NO NO NO!!! I'm sorry but this would be a bad idea imho! And I'm not just saying that because I am not a fan of Miss Miley (AT ALL) I just don't see it, sorry, just my opinion. I have always said & thought that Amanda Seyfried (from Mamma Mia!) should play M in a biopic & that's my choice. But honestly I'd take anybody over Miley Cyrus. I am sure M will make a good choice I trust her opinion more than anyone's but have always thought Amanda resembled M many occasions & also can sing. Especially with the goal being to look like M I think it would be mindblowing what they could do with her natural resemblence. As for singing I don't think anyone should sing M's songs in a biopic other than M (they'd have to lipsynch their asses off of course!) but she could do it I think. I was very impressed with Jamie Auld from the Emmy & The Breakfast Club docufilm that came out recently & even though I haven't seen it yet (I'm dying to tho & will soon) her portrayal of a young M is the best thing I've seen so far. She really looked like Madonna & from I have seen did a great job in the role! Just my opinions tho

So sweet!!! She really does need to bring these 2 back!!! NOTHING would feel more classic & iconic! They were all together!!!

I'm all for it & honestly there's no better time than to coincide with a tour DVD/Blu-Ray/digital/streaming release &/or a really amazing biopic. And of course throw in 2-4 new songs if not more & do a couple videos & ultimately a greatest hits tour. The time is now for that she's reaching a point especially after all the mishaps during the last (& theatre tour at that!) that it's time to focus on the legacy for a bit & then ultimately put out at least one last iconic dance album of pure perfection like Confessions, The First Album, You Can Dance etc.... maybe work with classic producers like Stuart Price....I am really hoping that is the route she takes next. There's always time for more experimental albums. Just my opinion. Get back with Warner. Focus of a huge greatest hits/legacy restoration - boxed sets, vinyls, RSD special editions galore & special release treats from the vaults like Mariah Carey is doing & like happens when others pass away unfortunately. Don't wait & let someone else do stuff like that. Control it all yourself, now, make the money for your kids now...I'm rambling LOL! I have so many thoughts lately about what I hope the near M future holds for M & us fans!

I LOVE it! Period. A remix is supposed to sound different from the original - just sayin. Too many untalented critics in my humble opinion who couldn't even cough into a mic & sound OK, but to each his own it is always necessary to remind onesself. It's time for some new Madonna & this is probably the first real "feature" I've ever been excited about. Sorry Britney, Nicki, Justin, Quavo, Swae Lee & others I just forgot. Totally new respect for Dua Lipa also! This remix album is going to be A You Can Dance for 2020!!!!!

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ready for this!!!!!!!

Soon we will know for sure!!!!!!!

Hasn't it already been confirmed that she IS NOT in the video?!?

I can't believe I've gone this whole time being as big an M fan as I am without realizing the reference here. I always knew it was a "tribute" to Marlene but never understood why she sang it the way she did. Thanks so much for schooling me on that I can see that I def need to check out this movie maybe as I love watching old Hollywood films just can't say I've seen any of Marlene's yet. I now have a whole new appreciation for this performance that I didn't have before, so thank you so much for taking the time to share that with me & educate me a little!

First choice definitely The Virgin Tour - the song performed as it was meant to be. I also enjoyed the WTG Tour version with the elements of "Sugarpie Honey Bunch" I always loved hearing her sing that! From then on it was re-invented on every tour so I'd have to say of all of these I would choose BA Tour. It was ICONIC! Least fave is the Girlie Show rendition I guess I just didn't get it?!?

Maluma has a sex tape?!?! If so I REALLY need this so come on somebody LOL!

I don't really hate any M music either & God knows there is no better example of someone LOVING 1 thing while another HATES it in the Madonna fan community! I think every era has examples of that! I mean M is a walking example of that most times herself lol! So I'm just gonna list my least faves & even tho I wont say everybody else loves them I am sure there are some out there who consider them among their faves lol cause that's just the way the world works...... MADONNA - Everybody LAV - Material Girl & Pretender TB - Jimmy Jimmy WTG - Causing A Commotion LAP - Act Of Contrition (from the first listen I thought WTF?!? lol) IB - Hanky Panky & I'm Going Bananas (prob my least favorite M song ever if I had to pick lol!) Erotica - Bye Bye Baby BS - Survival STR - One More Chance ROL - not 1 single song I dislike although I skip Mer Girl alot lol! Music - again not a single song I dislike American Life - not a big fan of Hollywood & I know it's just a demo but the song Latte is just horrible IMO never listen to it COADF - only song I skip or don't care much for is I Love NY. The demo was much better to me but something about the final version I just don't care for. All others (yes even Push lol) pure pop perfection! HC - Candy Shop (ugh!), Incredible (ugh!) & Beat Goes On (just because I can't stand Kanye West!) Celebration - It's So Cool RH - not a fan of Living For Love (although the video was great!), Illuminati (I liked the demo but not the final version), and Bitch I'm Madonna (liked the demo but not the final version). This album mostly I preferred the demos over the released tracks but I like that there is so much to choose from between the 2! MX - didn't care for God Control the song (the video was amazing!), Dark Ballet has burnt out for me I skip it all the time (& the video could've been so much better had it actually starred M more IMO), don't care for Bitch I'm Loca & I Rise I used to like but for some reason now I can't stand it lol I skip it all of the time! I think my main issue with it is the Emma Gonzalez chick in the beggining. Her voice ANNOYS me to no end & the fact that she denounced M & what she was trying to say about gun control & bringing more light to that issue totally killed it for me! I wish I could get my hands on a version of this song without her "BS!" bullshit in it I would probably grow to like it more again but I just CAN'T with her. She doesn't deserve to be on a Madonna album even speaking 1 word! There you have it lol! No attacks please, to each his own

Virgin Tour - Crazy For You (can't believe this one gets so overlooked when it was the only ballad she sang on that whole tour...."Do you mind if I sit down?" WTG Tour - Live To Tell BA Tour - Live To Tell/Oh Father mash-up Girlie Show - Rain & In This Life DWT Tour - Drowned World (Substitute For Love) & You'll See R-I Tour - Lament & Crazy For You Confessions Tour - Live To Tell, Drowned World (Substitute For Love) & Paradise (Not For Me) Sticky & Sweet - You Must Love Me MDNA - Masterpiece RH Tour - Take A Bow (hearing the start of the song gave me cold chills!!! & Heartbreak City/LDLHA Madame X - Frozen

1. I wish Madonna would embrace her legacy & release things from the past the are long overdue to show her true love for her fans. And also stop following trends stick with what works more like pure unabolished dance music & ballads like she can only deliver. And don't wait until you're gone to have things released like tours, outtakes, B-Rolls. And last, I wish M would write her autobiography! If she never does that it will be such a travesty to say the least!!! 2. What kind of look would you like to see Madonna do in the next era? Just keep it natural like ROL era or Music. She looked amazing during those times without even trying to. I'm getting tired of the usual over-sexed looks it has nothing to do with her age just prefer the simpler M. I second the Something To Remember/95 Testino Versace look. She was stunning!! Anything age appropriate would work I think. And PLEASE no more grills LOL! 3. If Madonna were to perform one of her videos for an upcoming tour in the closest way she could, which video would you want it to be? Tough one! I'd have to say Ghosttown also with the dance included! She kills it with that! 4. My three favorite record producers for Madonna has been William Orbit, Stuart Price & Mirwais 5. True or False: Madonna will release a new album in the next two years. I sure hope so! She needs to release another retrospective in the meantime though to celebrate all of the anniversaries going on as well. But I think she should do another full on non-stop dance record again COADF style! NO ONE can do that like Madonna could

I became a fan watching the Like A Prayer video premiere on MTV so this is easy for me as I got to experience most of M's career "live" which I wouldn't trade for the world. But I have always said that if I could go back in time that I would love to be able to experience the Virgin era, especially seeing as many Virgin Tour shows as possible especially the first show in Seattle!............

This Used To Be My Playground I'll Remember Love Profusion *go ahead call me crazy LOL!*

A quick reply to this it's such a sweet topic! I think prob her true best friend is Debi! They have always been close since the beginning & the bond they share just radiates! Plus she is just super cool & funny I can only imagine what it's like when they get together!! I would prob say that Martin or even Keith would be in that role had they survived but unfortunately we all know that history. I agree with everything said above, except for the stuff about Sean. The only thing that I want to say about that is - why not get back together at some point? You never know. People can change ESPECIALLY as they reach the upper years in age. I know M has changed tremendously since 1985-1989 & honestly I think Sean has too! So really who's to say it couldn't work the second time around? That is not for anyone to say I believe & I just wanted to say that. I've seen the second go at love actually work for some people hence the saying "Sometimes you have to let someone go to actually realize the true amount of love that's there." It's human nature to want to give up on things that don't work the first time around but that doesn't make it a fact that things can never work out & that people don't change. Just my 2 cents. I am sure each of these people are very special to M there's no question about that & Lola is a league all her own & shouldn't be included I think just sayin. Love you guys & love M! Have a good day & treasure your relationships like this in your own lives everyday! <3 <3 <3
