That's fine with ballads and more emotional songs, but there's absolutely no emotions in some dance hits. That's why Oh Father or Live To Tell are emotional with any kind of vocals, and 4 Minutes is just crow vocals in full force.

but to be honest, their vocals on the records are never polished and pleasant like Madonna's... the difference between the records and the live vocals is never so obvious with singers like Bob Dylan or Tom Petty. The music genre is altogether completely different. We can't blame misogyny for things like vocals.

in my opinion she is a great studio vocalist and her vocals work great for both the dance tracks and the ballads. The problem are the live vocals, that's why she got the bad reputation. Fans sometimes say she is "average" at worst, but to be perfectly honest, I'm struggling to think of many vocalist with that many vocal missteps. There are hundreds of much better vocalists, and maybe only a few who are worse, or even equal, so this would make M below average.

about the Blond Ambition shows in Japan during the rain season, did M do the whole show in the black jacket, or just the Express Yourself performance, or....? Is there any footage of the whole thing without the costumes?

Oh come on, she's been on Pimp My Ride and she's performed on The Lottery Show, let's not act like we're too posh for Drag Race

that was done with the legal permission and with credits

they probably needed their own recording for the broadcast, as the others were done for different purposes

The casting, sure, but not if it means changing the look for all the movies that Florence Pugh is currently filming. Camera test, they're nowhere near that stage yet.

it would make no sense to change the look for the movie before it even started filming, while doing another movie with another director. What do you think happened there? "Hey, Mr. Hollywood Director, I know you have your ideas for the movie, but I really need to look like Madonna right now, because she's a HUGE deal in the movie industry, and you know, I really want that role. I don't care if this look doesn't work for your movie, change the script! Face it, she's Madonna!" Not saying she did or did not get the role, but at this stage, she has no reason to change her look for the biopic.

Here is the photo, the girl looks a lot like Madonna

I thought Madonna and Liza had never met, just dug out this snap

I know it is difficult to say, but can we at least presume which celebrities M has never met? Of course, not counting the ones from previous decades and those who died before she was famous, but I'm asking mostly about her peers. I know she never met Freddie Mercury. There are some fake montages on the internet, but Madonna and Freddie had never met in real life.

I am from Europe, and I started noticing True Blue regularly during Christmas about 4-5 years ago. In fact, my bf who doesn't know much about Madonna, pointed it out to me, he refers to it as "Madonna's blue Christmas song"

Can we just take into consideration that this person (probably) knows Madonna personally and knows much more about her than the fans do?

In my country, True Blue is often heard during the Christmas holidays, mostly in Christmas playlists on the radio. Although it is definitely not holiday-themed, I think a lot of 50's inspired mid-tempo songs have a Christmas feel. Is True Blue played anywhere else in the context of Christmas?

"She's being ironic", "You don't understand her raw humor"

Madonna, Sade and Tina Turner tribute at the Chanel show in the 80's, designed by Karl Lagerfeld

An artists, but not everything she does is art... Surprisingly, she calls the messiest pohotoshop disasters "art"

"Humor is Humor" until it's about Madonna... then it suddenly becomes misogyny, unfunny, ageism and so on.

I think it was not strong enough for the second single release, maybe 3rd of 4th, but I don't think it ruined anything. GMAYL on the other hand....

in 1990 she reached the highest of her peaks, but she already had her highest selling studio album and her first major stadium tour behind her, so I think in 1990 she reached a whole another level of fame, but was already a superstar since True Blue

I joined the Madonna fandom sometime in 1990 when she was already at her highest peak, and my knowledge of everything before that is based on articles, anecdotes and personal impressions. So I am never sure about the moment when Madonna became an absolute superstar? I think with the True Blue era she solidified herself as the number one female pop star. My impression is that the first album was successful but definitely not big enough to turn Madonna into an instant superstar, and she became really huge with Like a Virgin.... but still not established enough to be the absolute number one? I always see True Blue as a huge turning point, and then the Who's That Girl Tour was the absolute indisputable proof of Madonna's superstardom. Can any of the older fans put things into perspective (while still keeping it real, without any fan bias)?

Love this look on Lola, very La Veneno

oh my word, wtf was that.... I remember the song was available as a free download, and it was announced that for each download there would be a donation for charity.... Microsoft pledged to donate $0.25 per download to the "Alliance for Global Climate Change" society for the first million downloads of the track... and in the end we never heard what happened and how much money was raised... guess it was such a low sum that the whole thing was swept under the rug. Can you imagine raising money for charity with such a bad song

It's a shame the entire MDNA album wasn't movie music, right?
