     Ok, time for round 3 of me ranting about Madonna's body of work. This album is hands down the best thing she ever put out in the 80's and better than all her 90's music except for Erotica and Ray of Light in my opinion. Express Yourself might be my favorite Madonna song, it is the ultimate anthem of what she has done her entire career. The artistic growth from her debut up to LAP is incredible, especially when it comes to her music videos, Oh Father being my favorite one for personal reasons, it was her first album that really got to me in an emotional way. Even the tracks I was not initially crazy about like Love Song have grown on me over the years I was aware and interested in Madonna from the start but Like A Prayer was the album that made me a lifelong fan, even the cover is amazing, so simple and sexy at the same time. This album will always be pop perfection in my mind and a top 4 Madonna album. It is literally all the best things about her rolled into one, it is fun, controversial, danceable, thought provoking. emotional, rocking and the greatest way she could ever have closed out the first phase of her career and transitioned into the 90's, it has really stood the test of time better than any 80's pop record by a female artist in my opinion, always fresh and exciting, I never get tired of it.  What does everyone else think about Like A Prayer?

    Well this is the album that made me a-hater-became-a-fan (I think it's because of the bandwagon hate that people made) and I thought this was a satanic album.

     

    This was and is an excellent album that made me realize that Madonna is just a human like us, adding the fact that I can relate to the lyrics of the song "Oh Father". Like M, I also have a hard feelings towards my father that ended up understanding and still trying to understand him because of this song.

     

    "Maybe someday

    When I look back I'll be able to say

    You didn't mean to be cruel

    Somebody hurt you too..."

     

    These lines hit me the hardest. A woman that I hated is the one who will make me cry and will teach me how to love and understand. This album is one of the foundation of my today's maturity. The album that I will treasure all my life and my most favorite.

     

    Edit: This was 2018 when I first listen to this album. After I was amazed, I rushed to the thrift/record store to buy that cassette, which later I discovered it was a Canadian press.

    Im very curious to see what everyone thinks about this album as a whole and which tracks you especially enjoy. For me Erotica is not only the greatest of Madonna's albums, but in the top ten records ever made my a pop artist. The word masterpiece is thrown around way too freely but this album really makes for such an incredible listening experience. Madonna is at her best here, utterly fearless and artistically controversial. Two of my favorite tracks are Erotica and Rain but I have a hard time picking any that I like best because the whole thing blends together so perfectly. Its the reissue that I am looking forward to more than any other.

    A masterpiece but Idk why I find Bedtime Stories more erotic than this album. Just my opinion.

     

    A provocative album where she set the bar highest of how to be sexual in music, than what men did. I think this is the album where a woman extemely expresses her sexuality than any other female artists back in the day. If George Michael and Prince did it good, then Madonna did it better.

  3. She's one of my favorite female singers aside from Mariah and Whitney (thought not much of a fan of Whitney).

     

    Though her voice is not that hardcore like Mariah, Whitney, Donna Summer, Aretha, or Barbara, but we cannot deny that she also have a wonderful voice that soothes every people's soul. With the likes of Live To Tell, You'll See, Sooner or Later, Something To Remember, Love Don't Live Here Anymore, Oh Father, Promise To Try, In This Life, Take A Bow, and many to mention, she's a singer who seems like "she's not only singing but she's trying to tell a story".

     

    For live sessions and tours, her voice is still great, but not to overuse, not to always shout, and not to stress too much. Like what happened to her on Blond Ambition Tour where her voice sounds great during Japanese Tour Leg and earlier North American tour date but on the later and European, it gets worse or strained. Also, she must be aware of her voice if she can still hit a higher key on a song or to dodge it for good, because live shows do not always need to be sounded perfect as what we can also hear from studio versions.

    Lstly, as we ages, our internal organs including our vocal chords turn fragile so having her time to rest is a must.

     

    That's my opinion.

    DM attended one of the Blond Ambition LA shows, you can briefly see Alan Wilding in Truth Or Dare so it’s safe to assume they met that night.

    From Alan Wilder’s Q&A on Shunt:

    Q: Back to your appearance in 'In Bed With Madonna' - how did you end up getting into her dressing room? Are you into showbiz gatherings? And what did you think of Madonna when you saw/met her that time?

     

    A: We went to see her show and got invited backstage afterwards. Actually, she pretty much ignored us - I think she was playing up to the camera more than anything. I'm not into showbiz parties just for the sake of it but a good lig on occasion, with some free alcohol, never goes amiss!

     

    Just saw from one of comments from his facebook page post . Idk if the whole band was there or just Alan. ?

  5. Madonna likes Depeche Mode and was inspired while making the COADF album but I don't know if she met the band, though they used to be on the same recording label back in 80s and 90s (back when Sire records has a partnership with Mute records to release DM album in North American territory).

     

    On the other hand, not sure if she met Duran Duran back in 1984 when she attended the Sing Blue Silver tour with Nile Rodgers (times when Nile had a collaboration with the band).

  6. Mine in any order:

     

    01. Like A Prayer - Blond Ambition Tour

    02. Like A Virgin - Blond Ambition Tour

    03. Mer Girl/ Sky Fits Heaven - Drowned World Tour

    04. Sorry - Confessions Tour

    05. Holy Water/Vogue - Rebel Heart Tour

    06. Deeper and Deeper - The Girlie Show Tour

    07. The Look of Love - Who's That Girl

    09. Gang Bang - MDNA Tour

    10. American Life - Reinvention Tour

    Virgin Tour (live in Detroit) - On the official release, she cried during the break in the middle of Holiday and she cried at the end of Crazy for You

    Rebel Heart Tour - She cried while talking about the Paris Attacks and sang Like a Prayer both on stage and on a small performance on the streets with David

    I also watched that Paris show on Youtube. So heartbreaking ??

  9. I'm just curious after watching her "In This Life" performance in 2nd night of London on Youtube. Did she cried during the last minute of that emotional performance? I admit the song is so sad that whenever I listen to this, I prevent myself from crying (if I were on her situation singing that song while remembering my closest friend who died of aids, I'll gonna cry too).

     

    Also feel free to post down below your stories if you encountered or watched Madonna crying while on stage and how it affects your emotions or emotions of every audience.
