50ft Queenie

I would love nothing more than to see Madonna back on top of the charts believe me, but the real question is, does Madonna want that as bad as the fans do? if so, she has not shown it in recent years. I am just seeing the time slip away and if she is going to make a comeback, it better be fucking soon and the only way that it might be possible to achieve that, will be applying the things I outlined in previous comments, because she sure as Hades is not going to make a comeback with her current behavior.

The more I have been thinking about this whole comeback topic, the more doubtful I am becoming that it will happen. First lets talk about the biopic, the fact that Madonna herself is directing it means that it is bound to be slammed by critics and the storyline will be told from her own point of view which is a recipe for disaster. she has never had tons of success with her movies but could afford it back then when she was still very relevant. The reissues are something that concerns fans and not the general public as much. The only real way I can see a comeback happening is if she somehow has a commercially successful album again and that will not be possible unless she has a reinvention and revives her tarnished image, which is going to be much harder now that she is in her 60's because of ageism. It was amazing that she was able to bounce back from Erotica, dont know it will happen again.

Im pretty sure its a few years old, I think I remember seeing back when Madame X was being promoted.

There are ways to promote yourself without becoming an absolute joke in the process when using social media. The daily fake pictures just come across as cringe and desperate for attention. Her social media is regarded as a joke by everyone I have ever talked with that is not an ultra stan. The same old artists are here to disturb the peace bullshit is getting very old, nobody is disturbed or outraged by her social media, they just like mock it and troll. I am just really hoping for a reinvention in 2022, I dont think I can survive another year of Madame X.

The fact it took you decades to love it, basically proves my point. But hey, I guess in a few centuries I might learn to appreciate Jimmy Jimmy as a masterpiece as well??

Yeah we should just all stay chill and keep looking forward to many more Eurovision performances, Instagram wars with irrelevant rappers and tracks like Bitch Im Loca. Who needs a greatest hits world tour when we all have candy shop to look forward to the rest of our lives??

She needs a reinvention in 2022 to act as damage control if we want any hope of chart success ever again. She has lost respect in the public eye. In terms of touring, a greatest hits tour that coincides with the biopic and reissues is her last real chance for a comeback. If she and her team fuck this up, It is very unlikely that she will be relevant again till she dies. I know Madonna though and I am worried that she wont reinvent because she has stopped caring as much about her career any more and seems to be going through something of a rebellious phase. And someone for the love of God, take the girls phone away! such regular use of social media has been nothing short of a disaster for her, it has ruined the mystery that was so central to Madonna's appeal and image.

I dont like Take a Bow very much at all and never did. It is one of her most well known ballads and is mediocre when compared with tracks like Secret. It has too much of that bland and perfectly produced R&B sound of the 90's that kills all rawness or energy from the track

That sounds like an abomination of an idea. It will sound terrible as a full album listen unless they totally rework the tracks.

You are right, my mistake. It would have charted much lower than it did if Interscope was in charge.

Oh boy, this reads like one of my bad acid trips back in the 80's?

Well whatever they release, I will be here to blow a bunch of my money on it regardless.

Ray of Light Bitch I'm Loca or Candy Shop?

True, I keep forgetting that she is back at Warner now. Seriously Fuck Interscope?

If Celebration had been properly promoted it could have gotten even higher in the charts. It was a real hit in many countries. I know I keep harping on this, but Interscope was such a disaster for Madonna from a management and promotional standpoint, Warner is already doing a much better job in those departments.

As far as I am aware this is not an official version, but dont quote me on it, I am no expert when it comes to the Bedtime Stories Madonna Era

Oh for sure, that would be pretty awesome to see what she could come up with. I think that Madonna fans are left with two choices. Do we want her to make incredible music for the people that support her or do we want her to pursue trying to achieve chart success by lowering herself to Elton Johns pathetic level of collaborations. Even if she did have another big hit through collaboration, it would ultimately feel like a hollow triumph because it was just achieved by leeching onto some relevant artist. Madonna really has nothing to prove at this point and she should embrace her incredible legacy.

Frozen Oh Father Live to Tell

Madonna attempting a rock album would literally doom any chance of chart success at all, so I think we can rule that one out.

If Madonna's team could wise up and start acting like the Prince estate in terms of reissues that would be a literal dream. I literally about had an orgasm when that magnificent box set of 1999 showed up at my door, not getting my hopes up though because this is Madonna we are talking about??

Just like every day we get closer to her releasing the full Harlem performance as promised????

A truly emotive album is exactly what I feel like she has been missing for a long time now. She tried to bring that back with Rebel Heart but the flow of the record was ruined by stupid tracks like SEX and Bitch Im Madonna.I am totally tired of the dance albums and get kinda mad about all the fans clamoring for another Confessions. It would be cool to see Madonna come up with something truly deep and personal but without being a bore, something that Ray of Light achieved perfectly, I enjoyed Madame X but it was much too experimental to be a big chart success. I feel like Madonna and her team are doing a very good job right now of promotion and keeping her in the public eye and dont want to see opportunities for a hit fucked up by incompetent promotion from her label, poor lead single choice and messy collaborations. Another thing is that the quality of her music should never be judged on chart success as that is often dictated by an artists current popularity rather than actual quality, Ed Sheeran could come up with the worst crap imaginable and it would still be a hit, surely that recent abomination by him and Elton John has shown us that. OK, I am done with my rant now.

Every time I see photo's of Madonna's house in the background, her choice in art furnishings seems to be superb. She has always been very enthusiastic about stuff like that.

Its totally fine if us fans have different tastes regarding Madonna's albums. I utterly despise nearly everything about MDNA as an album except for a few tracks like Girls Gone Wild. But hey, atleast we got a good tour.

Hmmm thats interesting, I cant say that Like a Prayer would have been my first choice but not complaining either if it does happen that you are right.
