Which shows that Madonna has never been the dance-artist some people want her to be. She’s popular because she’s made very catchy pop songs. Not because she’s made dance songs.

Don’t get me started on that self-absorbed documentary where she was sitting at a table, smoking (girl, you hate smoking), surrounded by several people she never introduced, who never got to speak for themselves and who looked uncomfortable the entire time. 
I‘d rather have her perform on Ellen tbh 

I’ve never seen a Madame X as a record that was strong enough to actually make people question what kind of world they want to live in. Most of the more “political” songs remained rather vague in their lyrics. A song like Future is about everything and nothing, so is God Control. It was accompanied by a very literal video but lyrically none of the songs had a clear message such as Express Yourself e.g. had. 
Furthermore, the darker songs were mixed with and overshadowed by songs such as Medellin, Crave, Crazy, Faz Gostoso or Bitch I’m Loca which sounded quite out of place and in some cases pretty dull next to the more mellow songs. That’s why I’ve always seen Madame X as a very mixed bag and whatever vision Madonna had when she made the record, she did not manage to execute it in a way that her message was either understandable or relatable. 

I’d love to know that as well. Especially since it’s basically a completely different song with the exception of a few pieces of her vocals. But it’s based as much on JML as Deeper and Deeper is based on Vogue.

She barely promoted it, though. We had one performance of Medellin and one of Future. That was it. 
And while many artists played little gigs at home during the pandemic, she couldn’t be bothered to have David and Mercy accompany her on guitar and piano for a performance of Killers or Extreme Occident or any other of the more mellow songs from Madame X.

This attitude puzzles me a lot. She’s never been known for shying away from everything but she’s never been as stubborn as she’s been in recent years. She could always differentiate well between criticism that came from people outside of her fan base (the criticism of her LAV choreography in 1990) and criticism that was a really harming her career. That’s why she did not continue to behave like during her infamous 1994 Letterman performance. 
These days, however, it seems as if she has lost this ability. People dislike something she does and she does it even more, no matter how much she alienates her fans by that.
