Not a fan of this shoot either. Doesn't feel like it offers anything new and I find the themes and costumes ridiculous. Too wax-worky if you can understand what I mean. Kind of like she's become a caricature of herself. If her face still moves, would be nice to see some actual expression. Even her eyes look vacant. It's like a mortician photographed her 🤪

Imagine her coming back like this.

She's getting new grills fitted.

Yeah, but she had a huge hit with 4 Minutes and the recent successes of Confessions, Live 8 and an intact public image despite that ridiculous scandal.

Madonna currently trending on Twitter for all the wrong reasons again. I'd hold off on that tour announcement and do some damage control because aside from going viral with a song nobody really cares about, she's really at a low point in her career with no discernible hits for a very long time and a public image that does not resonate with the general public. She really has backed herself into a corner and it feels like the early 90s again.

I was very disappointed with how the single was released. They didn't utilise any of the gorgeous images from the video on the front cover but instead recycled from Secret. The track listings were boring and could've done with some really great remixes by David Morales, Todd Terry and / or Frankie Knuckles who all were adept at transforming ballads into dancefloor smashes. Last, but not least, a previously unreleased track would've been a nice bonus too.

Is this a chat bot or something? I'm genuinely curious.

I just bought a CD today. I guess I baffle you then.

No. Bring on Madonna with *any* actually competent musical director who can do justice to her back catalogue in a live environment. Not the cretins she's been employing since the Sticky and Shit. Or do you just want to waste your money on another shitty setlist, rehashes of the same trash and subpar reworkings and mashups?

Thank you for telling them this.

I would've preferred more songs from Madonna in this vein. There's a rawness to it that follows on from tracks like Burning Up, Gambler, Over and Over, Dress You Up, White Heat and much of the production on the Who's That Girl tour. Guitar driven definitely. Til Death Do Us Part is great lyrically, but I would've swapped out the production for something more along the lines of Just A Dream.

Instead you're going to get Remixed And Revisited, but remastered by Mike Dean 🤣

Quite happy with that list. Includes many of my favourites.

They included Kurt? Fuck yeah 🙂

Deep down they just jealous, petty and bitter that it's not them. Says more about them than Aldo. Guy's living his dream. What are they doing? Bitching like schoolgirls on a forum , that's what.

And what will *you* hope to get done in the year coming, since you'll have Madonna so busy granting your fantasies 🤣

I thought you wrote ",dirty panties" at first 🤣

You just won post of the year in my books!

Exactly. My sentiments too. Maybe people need her to keep doing stuff so they can live through her or it's that her output justifies their fanaticism in some way? I don't really understand it to be honest, but it really is bizarre to keep seeing their dream lists of things they want, and they always want more. It's never enough. Most of the stuff they make up themselves as well. I just don't think it's a healthy mindset. For me, Madonna made a few good albums with songs I enjoy and has some great music videos and performances that set the bar pretty high for other acts to follow. I'm happy with that. What I imagine for 2023, in terms of Madonna, is that she's happy and healthy and is able to enjoy the rewards of what she's spent her adult life creating.

Whatchu know about Shex

They get a gig with Madonna and then rush to social media to gloat without thinking about repercussions of divulging information like that?

She's probably actually crying now lol

Woah was just around there today. Back when she lived here you could see her often whizzing around.

Yeah, that doesn't really work for me. But kudos to you if that's you thing.

Oh ok, so some infringing on the artist's rights is ok, but you draw the line at new work. Gotcha.
