    Finally, im not really interested in researching this BUT I was surprised that M worked with Anitta to begin with because i had read the Anitta aligns with right wing ideology and is/was a fan of the right wing brazilian Trump aka, Bolsanaro.  Maybe, Madonna recently discovered this from an Anitta post and decided to remove her.

    That's odd, Anitta has actually always been very vocal and critical of Bolsonaro on Twitter from what I've seen. :thinker: 

    There's even an interview from 2019 where she explicitly says that she doesn't support him at all: https://vogue.globo.com/beleza/gente/noticia/2019/02/em-entrevista-internacional-anitta-fala-sobre-o-presidente-eleito-jair-bolsonaro-e-sobre-seu-posicionamento-politico.html

    M sees herself as the only one & the rest are just workers for her even big names, she doesn’t care about anyone except herself that’s why most celebrities are not friends with her. Her attitude is really horrible.

    the random narrative :rip::rip::rip::rip: you just described an extremely toxic person that everyone would probably hate, why you stan her? there's a difference between liking the music and listening to her, with being a hard fan. why you are a hard fan of a toxic person?  :rip:

    Both of you are actually kinda right, lol

    Because current Madonna might be a nightmare to remind some how age destroys things

    Yap, I think this sums it up perfectly. I mean, she couldn't have been on top FOREVER. She's been active for nearly 4 decades (!!) with a constant stream of hits. How many artists in the history of music have had that privilege?!

    I also think it boils down to projection. Fans are also getting older themselves and the reality of age hits them. To see their once-near-divine-goddess canceling shows because her body is starting to cave in and not being the center of news everywhere anymore is a bit of a shock. But it's normal, it's expected, it's life.

    Age is not destroying her, age is reinventing her again. Although I do wish that reinvention didn't include grillz.

    Price was the Musical Director of both Drowned World Tour and Re-Invention as well, let's not forget that. He was the one who brought her old songs to the new century, there's no way one could deny it. 

    His work wasn't live but it did not sound karaoke-ish and he found a way to make Madonna sound amazing on those 3 tour without using lowered vocals from the steams straight from the 80's, that alone saves his sound. Plus, Re-Invention, although not perfect, was very inventive with the new versions and was the seed that bloomed as Confessions on a Dance Floor.

    Oh, I didn't know he was on DWT as well. To be honest DWT and RIT are the modern tours I like less :cryin:  I find them a bit... dull. The musical arrangements don't spark anything for me, either. But this is now more of a matter of personal taste.

    Either way, my point was that I don't think Antunes is a devil and Price is a god. I think they both have different approaches and are good in their own ways.

  5. I'm torn up on Kevin Antunes. While I do think his sound is a bit "flat" for some reason, the fact is that thanks to him we got some of the best song reinventions like Vogue and Like a Prayer S&S or Candy Shop MDNA. I think he's a great "mash-upper" which work on some songs, but not on others. Either way, he made justice to Madonna's premise which is reinventing.

    While Stuart did a good job on the Confessions Tour, I think it was because it was his work anyway and the songs were very DJ-ish to begin with, because if you dissect the other ones they weren't actually that original:

    - Ray of Light as a very generic rock version
    - Drowned World/Substitute for Love was a monotone beat over an acoustic guitar
    - Music wasn't even him, it's the Disco Inferno instrumental
    - Lucky Star was basically the Hung Up beat...

    Erotica was his one true gem, but other than that, nothing really stands out as original or "his" reinvention, unlike Kevin who made some real good mash-up reinventions. He also did an amazing job on Madame X, because Human Nature and Frozen were next level. In the end I think they both have their merit and I would love to see them both as musical directors of a tour, to balance things out. Kevin would rework the classics while Stuart would do the current songs.

    Oh, and let's not forget Madonna also has a say in this and she pus a lot of input as well. So if a song comes out bad, it's also her fault.

    I remember thinking they took too long to show her in the "Ray of Light" video ?

    Its still amazing. Really captures the excitement and hope for a new century. Pre- 9/11. The Dan O Rama remix videos are so fun too. She looked sun kissed and gorgeous. The little crystals under her eyes. Tandonna is underrated. 

    Omg, you said it perfectly. I too love the "innocence" of the Ray of Light video, like "look what's happening technologically! And a new millennium is coming! Life is getting fast and exciting!". Even though I was only 8 at the time I remember feeling that hope and excitement so the video makes me feel all kinds of nostalgia. I can only imagine it's augmented for people who were older. 

    A shame that 2 albums later we had to have American Life because that innocence was crushed in 2001. :/

    Sophie, the influential British producer who molded electronic music into bracingly original avant-garde pop, was killed in an accidental fall Saturday morning (January 30), a representative confirms. SOPHIE died at roughly 4 a.m. in Athens, Greece, where the artist had been living. In a statement, the labels Transgressive and Future Classic wrote: “True to her spirituality she had climbed up to watch the full moon and accidentally slipped and fell. She will always be here with us".
