I agree with all this, and the use of autotune was a creative choice, it's unconventional in its sound, and what a lot of her fans want, particularly here on this forum, is just that straight up generic pop that has mass appeal and that does well the charts. I'm afraid they won't get that Madonna. Looks like some people here want her to be something she's not. She's not going to make the music they want from her, that's not what an artist does. She'll make the music she wants to make and most importantly, what resonates with her. They can always go and listen to another artist that makes exactly the music they want to hear. I think it's a wonderful thing she's making music like Madame X, she's taking big, bold risks that many aren't. Honestly, I'd prefer that than another Confessions. She won't patronise her fans or pander to them for hit records, and that's a good thing, something to be admired that she won't play the game like a lot of music stars (I won't use the word "artist").
