I did not talk about Hung Up, I know that's a sample, the rest of the album is heavily plagiarized with tweaks, like Future Lovers is just an I Feel Love copy, it's so obvious.

That's over 5 million RECORDS for that SUCCESSFUL ERA. The end madaboutM and kesiak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AModSquad 514 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 19 hours ago, brazilfan said: OK, here's thing. Madonna had Freddy DeMann as Manager at 1983~1997 (14 years) After Freddy gone Madonna has Guy until now. it's like 20 years. Do you think that this is time for Madonna say goodbye to Guy Oseary? I mean I know she is old now and Old people do not want to change. And Guy Oseary and his wife is good friend (more like family) with Madonna now. So I know that Madonna probably not gonna fire Guy Oseary. But What I really want to talking about is... the real question is "Does Guy Oseary and his wife is really GOOD friend to Madonna?" For me Good friend mean is "someone which Not just sucking my ass all the time, someone which tell me the bitter truth for me." But it looks like Guy Oseary and his wife is just sucking Madonna's ass all the time. OK forget about friend thing. What is Manager for? Good manager have to tell their artist "No that is not a great choice!" and have a gut for fight for good choice for their client. That is good manager do. But it is apparently Guy Oseary is failing about his job. So I really wondering what do you think about this. Do you think this is right time for Madonna say goodbye (I mean fire) Guy Osery? (This question is not about really Madonna gonna do this or not. this question is about just you guys opinion) I thought the timeline was more like this: Freddy till 94ish Caresse Henry from 94-2005ish Angela from 05ish-07ish Guy from 07 to current. My problem with the Guy era is her quality of work has gone down, her foray into social media is embarrassing (please no more eye, pouty lip pics), while her apparent heavy interest in making deals/$$$ went up. She's in it to make money of course throughout her career but for the last 10 yrs the prioritizing of money feels intense. You keep giving us rehashed lazy tours starting with Sticky Sweet and if the price was reflective of the show then Id be ok with it but they have been boring as hell - the routines, the costumes just a bore. This is a result of her being stuck with these collaborators from Guy to Jamie to her hair guy and so on. New blood Madonna. Also, lets just get back to the art not about putting a shitty album out and forcing it down our throats bundling it with the boring show you just put together - you know the one that has 4 sections, pulling out a guitar, the dancer interludes, the political video, the "fuck ya" speeches, the one with La Isla Bonita (jesus every fucking time - 30 years of music and she has to keep doing this?) that you charge $400US for.

Mp1992 261 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 ^ thank you. Even the Hard Candy era was somewhat commercially successful, 4 million sold of the album worldwide, 880,000 in the US certified gold but shipped and should be certified platinum. 9th biggest selling album worldwide of 2008,more than Mariah's and Janet's 2008 albums COMBINED 5 million sales of 4M, including over 3 million in the US, her biggest selling single there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowRadiate 3,331 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 36 minutes ago, blondebombshell said: i was kindly disappointed she appeared with Kim Kardashian If Guy Osary was such a good friend of madonna. I can't really see the butt but if Guy is a friend. Friends usually tell you if they love you will usually tell the truth and say that doesn't look good. Just my opinion out of all the kardashians the only one i can handle is Khloé Kardashian. . But that is the only one. I hope madonna didn't do the butt implants because of Kim Its her butt though if she likes it. I actually blame Nicki Minaj. I think Madonna liked her butt so much she wanted one like that of her own. Nicki might have hooked her up with her surgeons? I’m still in the process of getting used to that look. I think some of the plumpness might be due to age and weight too. But to a limited extent. I really hope it flattens. As for Guy, I think she just trusts him, that’s why he is still in the picture. I don’t think he is very creative or done a good job. I think Angela was pretty good but her phase went with a great album. The music quality has not really been on par with previous hits for various reasons. I’m hoping she has a hit album on her hands, and then Guy‘s job may become easier too. New blood that she can trust is rare but could do her well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.E.S.C.U.E_ME 65 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I think Madonna is going through a period where she doesn't want to listen to anyone or accept any sort of guidance. She barely appears with Guy anymore and she literally swatted Liz away from her on the Grammy's red carpet. She has been lunging from one PR disaster to another. The gross Drake kiss, the Brits fall, the bizarre behavior during the last dates of the Rebel Heart tour, Rocco's running away, the disturbing instagram, the trash-bag outfit at the VMA's and her widely mocked speech about herself/Aretha, the obsession with fillers, the frightening butt injections...etc.. I've been a fan for over 30 years and it's gotten to the point where I'm afraid when she makes public appearances these days.

PWCCA 2,498 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 20 hours ago, Mp1992 said: Right. I stopped listening when he said Confessions was a flop album, let's see it only sold between 10-12 million copies worldwide and was the world's #1 selling album, entering the Guinness Book of Records, of 05-06. HU became the biggest single of her career workdwide, while both the album and HU went to #1 on the album and Single sales charts in the US Some flop... I think he's an undercover little monster He never called it a 'flop album', he said that it did not sell well in the US... her biggest market. Confessions did indeed sell well, and it was her last big seller, but its US sales didn't meet expectations, though it still did fantastically well in Europe. Also, it is rather childish to call him 'an undercover little monster' just because you didn't fully read what he (and others) have written. This is not some diva vs diva conspiracy.

It sold almost TRIPLE what AL did in America, it EXCEEDED expectations. As previously stated , album sales in general took a 50% drop off between 2001, a peak year, and 2005, so selling almost 2 million in 2005 is THE SAME as selling around 4 million in 1995 in the US Just like Mariah's EOM selling 6 million, helped by a rerelease but still, is like selling 12 million in the mid 90s, it some ways it was more of a triumph for her than her bigger selling 90s albums, because of the marketplace crashing I wouldn't call Confessions her last big seller, HC did well , again 9th top selling album of Philip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mp1992 261 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 And the US isn't her biggest market, Europe is since at least the True Blue album, he also called it a flop numerous times and Warner's had expectations of Confessions doing about 5 million globally and 1 million domestically, the general thinking was that after AL it would take a miracle to see her album sales go back up and because if it's dance sound they knew it would do better in Europe, notice Madonna did very little promo for the album in the US but concentrated heavily in EU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said he’s a nice person and I have worked with him for M in the past and will in the future. Point Is during the MDNA era M wasent doing a few things I (fans) felt she should be doing. Guy and I spoke by phone and private message. He told me he agreeded with my points and he spoke with M and made her do these things (she didn’t want to do it initially) but I told him she should and he agreed. It’s M not wanting to do things, Guy tries to tell her but she’s stubborn. Not all him’s fault. And on a personal note he’s been kind and good to me maybe because I freelance for him and M. But he’s given me tickets to all M shows and as many nights I want ( not bragging just saying) so he’s not all bad. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
