Does anyone have USA pricing for Lifetime Legacy Member pricing??? Please post or repost

We all know her hair is shorter than it is... I don't like the extensions and curly comb-over. I would love for her to rock a shorter look... she always was very hair confident... not so much lately.

I think it should be a dual 2nd single release of Ghosttown and Bitch I'm Madonna.... Both would be super strong.

I know what you mean. I chalk that off to being a pre-tour performance. I remember of the two hard candy promo tour events, the first was a technical mess. She will be on form when the tour starts. :wink:

Wow! Autotune Baby is one of the albums best tracks to me. Holy Water's Chorus is extremely catchy now... and I listen to it completely instead of skipping it. ***best break out 2 songs on the entire album are Unapologetic Bitch and Inside Out***** Inside out could literally be from ROL Heartbreak City is a masterpiece and is my absolute fav.

after the Living For Love Video release... I have a very strong feeling Take A Bow will definitely make an appearance... I mean... come on. Its a direct reference on herself from that specific video and possibly You'll See properly performed every night on tour.

Madonna Is the OG Queen of this Pop Sh*t Madonna Is Back! http://www.complex.com/music/2015/02/madonna-pop-queen?utm_campaign=complexmag%2Bsocialflow%2B01%2B2015&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social Today Madonna dropped off two heat rocks, reminding us all that she is the OG Queen of this pop thing, the MJ of this shit, whichever one: Jordan or Jackson. One features Chance the Rapper and Mike Tyson ("Iconic"), and the other features Nas ("Veni Vidi Vici"). Back in December she let loose "Bitch I'm Madonna" featuring her heir to the pop throne, Nicki Minaj, and the Diplo-assisted "Living for Love." And I must say, she's back like she never left. "Iconic" and "Living for Love" feature hard-hitting dance beats. They'll make you want to go hammer with some glow sticks and tongue a stranger down on the dance floor. "Bitch I'm Madonna" and "Veni Vidi Vici" are more of the traditional pop variety one would hear on a Top 40 station, a tactic that she's perfected. Nicki, Chance, and Nas spit nothing but fire on their respective features. It's dope that she has rappers on her upcoming project because it's a show of respect to a genre that, over the course of her career, has gone from a "fad" to the driving force in popular culture. Never one to shy away from controversy, Madge found herself in one with her Rebel Heart online marketing campaign. She replicated her album cover by placing the various "rebel" faces of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Bob Marley, and Jesus Christ in bondage or whatever you want to call it. I'm still trying to figure out the point of that album art. She tried to compare herself to those icons and then she apologized for doing so. This made me skeptical of the whole project at first. The aforementioned online campaign was sketchy at best, and she's also 56 now and hasn't made a great album in nine years, which made it feel forced (don't hate on my opinion!). But I digress. WE'RE IN OUR LATE 20S, EARLY 30S NOW, AND MADONNA'S MUSIC WAS JUST AS FAMILIAR TO US BACK THEN AS SAY WU-TANG'S MUSIC. Once upon a time my friends and I would get lit to various Madonna albums. Mind you, we were street kids from North Jersey. We're in our late 20s, early 30s now, and Madonna's music was just as familiar to us back then as say Wu-Tang's music. We would pregame to 2005's Confessions on a Dance Floor or a mix of her greatest hits with various drugs in our systems. Play drunk Twister with a group of pretty girls while listening to Madonna before you judge the kid. These new tracks remind me of those times. I'm writing this as "Sorry" plays, and I'm feeling froggy. I wish I had some 'shrooms or some acid, to be honest. Roc-A-Fella, Dipset, Max B, Madonna, piff, and Henny got the god through college in one piece, feel me? Accept no duplicates. Lady Gaga can't wash the Queen's throne. She's a hack at best, a shock jock. Not to say Madonna isn't, but she manages to come across as original while Gaga comes across as trying too hard—she's already washed up. The only ones who come close are Onika, Azealia Banks, Rihanna, and Beyonce. "Truffle Butter" samples the deep house cut "What They Say" by Maya Jane Coles, and Broke With Expensive Taste is a brilliant mixing of genres, something Madonna does very well. Rihanna is a hit-making machine, and Beyonce was born to perform. Madge birthed them all, and we must honor and respect that legacy. I'm expecting Rebel Heart to go platinum in like two weeks. "Bitch I'm Madonna" and "Living for Love" have a combined 5,253,598 Spotify streams. Let us all bow our heads because we are not worthy. I for one can't wait to turn up to Rebel Heart when it drops. Thugs fuck with poppy, dance bullshit sometimes too, lord. Only God can judge me. I'm going to play some 2Pac after this, though, for sure. I'm sounding kind of crazy, but fuck it, it's the truth. 'Pac used to fuck with Madonna, and so should you.

This Thread is dedicated to Press and Blog reviews.... not opinionated fan posts... (there are other threads here for that and you're welcome to comment away there.) Thanks.

Been telling everyone this... but no one believes me.... Maverick is alive and well... Guy Oseary has formed a new Management group and revived Maverick... That is why if anyone inquires to soundcloud "who" takes down their Living For Love or other Rebel Heart remix (unofficial) they will tell you Grayzone on behalf of Maverick Records....

Please post here the positive press reviews you find

--Madonna is right where she is supposed to be. --“Rebel Heart†is actually a wonderful addition to Madonna’s discography, and her greatest album of the last decade. --They’re actually really good. http://discopopheaven.tumblr.com/post/109984635850/album-review-rebel-heart-madonna It’s been years since Madonna had released some new material which would be good enough to please both critics and fans. We all remember the sweet, yet underwhelming disco-throwback “Hard Candy†offered us, and well as the carefree euro-dance of “MDNAâ€. Both of these albums, while containing some good songs, weren’t strong enough as a body of work. On “Hard Candyâ€, Madonna was often out-shadowed by Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, and Timbaland’s productions. On “MDNAâ€, she tried too hard to please young fans with basic dance music and generic singles that the rich lyrical layer (mostly treating of her divorce with Guy Ritchie) was put aside in favor of cliché songwriting (remember “Turn Up the Radioâ€?). These periods were hard to swallow for fans who knew and loved “Ray of Light†or even “American Life†for its lyrical depths and experimental music, or even “Confessionsâ€, for its re-invention of Madonna’s persona. The “Rebel Heart†era will be remembered mostly for its many leaks (all of the songs from the album somewhat leaked in over a month), but it’s a shame. “Rebel Heart†is actually a wonderful addition to Madonna’s discography, and her greatest album of the last decade. While we experienced the first six songs early, as Madonna released them on iTunes back in late December, waiting was required for the other ones. And here they are, after the whole album and its 25 (!) songs leaked. And guess what? They’re actually really good. Those who heard the demos know that Avicii heavily contributed on some of the songs, including the title track. Well, here, his productions are more subtle. Goodbye, good old dance breakdowns, welcome actual melodies. “Rebel Heart†becomes a country song, which would perfectly fit on “Musicâ€, while “Wash All Over Me†is now a symphonic album closer, where Madonna reflects on her loneliness. Of all the demo songs, “Body Shop†is actually the one who transitioned the most successfully. It is now a sweet, guitar-driven song, where Madonna shines as a playful, loving partner for her lover. The album raises the question of Madonna’s identity: is she a revolutionist, a loner, a deluded woman, a fierce diva, …? She’s actually all of that, and she says it herself. Yes, she may have flaws and she may come off as a heartless diva, but really, she’s as much a sucker for love as we all are. “Take me with all my stupid flawsâ€, she sings, and we happily oblige. This album could easily be compared to “American Life†and its sumptuous, personal ballads, as Madonna delivers here some of her best material in years. “Ghosttownâ€, an apocalyptic ballad, “Joan of Arcâ€, a confession of lack of confidence facing the hardest times, and “Messiah†a masterpiece of unrequited love: they are delicate, honest songs, and the proof that Madonna can actually deliver real down-tempo songs with talent and confidence (remember “Take a Bowâ€?). But let’s not forget the more up-tempo songs: “Living for Love†and its mix between dubstep and “Like a Prayer†gospel-throwback is a winning mix, while “Hold Tight†is a soaring anthem to be. “Iconic†is the most basic song on the standard version and yet its dark, yet empowering nature makes it all work alright. Plus, how good is self-reference when it’s about playing “Vogue†halfway through your songs? The Natalia Kills-penned “Holy Water†feels straight out of “Hard Candyâ€, and its futurist production and cheeky lyrics remind us of what the 2008 could have been. Madonna also self-references herself on “Veni Vedi Viciâ€, an autobiographical piece where she remembers her success throughout past successes. Madonna offers us her best dance material thanks to eclectic genres mixes and autobiographical exploration, yet she shines the most through her ballads, where the woman behind the persona reveals herself for the first time since 2003. In a world that changes, Madonna stays the same, and we are so much thankful for that “Rebel Heart†in our lives.

completely disagree. This album has something for everyone.... SEX is not my favorite... But I can listen to Holy Water now and actually groove to it... those lyrics are not my fav either but hey... I don't run around singing Where Life Begins either and still adore that song.

yes. I saw this... Its ridiculous. I'm sure Madonna is shielded from this as she doesn't pay attention to nastiness like this and her team know not to inform her to bring her down. What would be unbelievable is if this backfired and hurt this fan(s) star Lady Gaga. The thing is... we all can see this and know its happening. They reap what they sow.

I have a very strong feeling a reworked version of True Blue will make it on tour as well as Take a Bow.

Her face has definitely settled and she looks amazing.

Possibly, but China is a huge market. Its all conjecture anyway. =)

Did I miss something..?? where has this been confirmed?

I've been asked this as well. Madonna was so specific about promising to go to Australia next time in her apology message from fall 2012. She's gonna have to make good on that... I could really see an Australia opening night, its very plausible and their thirst is real hunny from down under....LOL They have not had her for now 21 years. That means Japan and even some China shows could be in the beginning of the tour. I could see easily 6 Australia shows, 6 Japan shows, 6-9 shows in China's 3 largest cities (Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai). So between those 3 stops Madonna could easily get in the neighborhood of 18-21 shows.

Madonna will promote her brand new album #RebelHeart through a 2015 Promo Tour starting this April. (According to Madonnanewsblog, may be rumor, not official yet) MADONNA WILL PROMOTE HER BRAND NEW ALBUM #REBEL HEART THROUGH A PROMO TOUR 13 gennaio 2015 — 1 commento Madonna will promote her brand new album #Rebel Heart through a Promo Tour which will take place in New York, London, Paris (to date) in April 2015 https://madonnanewsblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/madonna-will-promote-her-brand-new-album-rebel-heart-through-a-promo-tour/

Curious is USA will get a Deluxe.... 19 tracks is a huge album. I'm sure for major stores like Target/Walmart she will have to put out alternate formats.

agreed. Actually all 6 final tracks are very very well done and I no longer listen to their demo counterparts.

I will be very very disappointed if Heartbreak City is not on the final album.... is her best in ages.

Ahhhhh, I love this! So happy. Got 6 final full tracks from iTunes USA. So glad that this negativity of the leaks is over and we can move forward with enjoying the album!!!

I have to comment and say that unapologeticheart is right. I am all for catching the culprit, but Guy O is not just in "the inner circle", he is "the inner circle". People should be cautious make unfounded accusations. He's not the bad guy here. Just FYI
