Game: + and - of Madonna Songs

[voguemadonna 650]

Best Night(I actually woke up with this song stuck in my head)Positive: I love how the beat gives off a dark vibe even though she's talking about a "best night". Also, the bridge is 100% the best part of the song.Negative: The chorus is repetitive.Next: Revolver

[survivalartist 6,687]

Revolver 

 

+ Something from HC "era" I can actually jam to, as I found a handy version with the vocal turned UP. The beat is fun, the lyrics are crap. Sounds like it was made in about 5 minutes.

- Lil Wayne. You can hardly hear Madonna over all the noise (thanks again for the vocal turned up version, whoever made it)

 

Next: Nobody Knows Me

[madgefan 10,202]

Nobody Knows Me,

 

Positive: Its sound is futuristic, the lyrics are simple but full of meaning, both tours performances have been fantastic so far.

Negative: It was only a promo single whose remixes were added to a single the general public never knew about (Nothing Fails).

 

Next, I Want You (Orchestral) :1f614:

[Primul5 188]

I Want You (Orchestral)

 

Positives: This is just "stripped down" version of I Want You, and Madonna's voice sounds beautiful with strings only.

 

Negatives: Though it sounds great, I'm not able to listen to it all the time. It becomes boring when I listen to this song over and over .

(God! It was hard to describe positives and negatives ;D )

 

Next song: Promise To Try

[madgefan 10,202]

Promise to Try,

 

Positive: I adore the rawness in her voice, so melodic and dramatic but yet so real!!

 

Negative: After reading Christopher's book and the passage about the visit Madonna did to the grave of her mother (which was captured in Truth or Dare), all the magic kind of disappeared to me, it seemed half of that movie was unnatural which is obviously a downer.

 

Next, Falling Free (Ferry Corsten Mix)

 

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Falling Free (Ferry Corsten Remix)Positive: SUPER impressed that that remix was made without instrumental or acapella. Nice break too.Negative: Not a song needing a remix, tbhNext: Secret

[MXRXNCHX 1,131]

Secret

 

Positive: EVERYTHING! What she portrayed not only with this song, but with the whole album, it's something really beautiful. The video it's one of her best ones. This is the single where she (or the record label) started to care about the remixes that were released; went from hip hop to club anthems (let's remember that the remixes included on previous releases like Erotica were almost the same remixes but with different names)

 

Negative: Not including the Marlene Dietrich look on the final video (she looked so beautiful)

 

Next is Mother And Father

[survivalartist 6,687]

Mother and Father 

 

+ The beats are crisp as fuck. Mirwais could really lay it down, that guitar is just perfection.

- The lyrical content is a bit... lacking. Its fun, but f'real cried & cried & cried

 

Next: Arioso 

[Primul5 188]

Arioso

 

Positives: "classical" beginning, beautiful melody

 

Negatives: it has not been released

 

Next song: He's A Man

[voguemadonna 650]

He's A Man

 

Positive: The way she sings the song gives off a lounge kind of vibe (which is perfect for the character she played in Dick Tracy) and it matches perfectly with the music.

Negative: It was never made a single

 

Next: Live To Tell

[devilpray 2,390]

Live to Tell

 

Positive: it's one of her best ballads. 

Negative: probably nothing

 

Next: Frozen (Sticky & Sweet Tour Version)

[devilpray 2,390]

Live to Tell

 

Positive: it's one of her best ballads, i looooooooove this song

Negative: probably nothing

 

Next: Frozen (Sticky & Sweet Tour Version)

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

 

Next: Frozen (Sticky & Sweet Tour Version)

 

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 

 

Positive: HOLY EFF WHAT A FANTASTIC REMIX IDEA I LIVE FOR THE CALVIN HARRIS SAMPLE FUN FACT WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO THE STUDIO VERSION FOR THE FIRST TIME I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS THERE SO MY REACTION WHEN IT SHOWED UP WAS KIND OF LIKE 

 

Negative: It's so sad we don't have one with the official vocals. I get the deep vocals are supposed to sound more like her, and at some parts they do, and at other parts...  :mama010:

 

Next: The Erotic Candy Shop (MDNA Tour Studio Mix)

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

noooooooooooooooo don't let this thread die. its like the only shred of positivity and friendliness left here

[devilpray 2,390]

Erotic Candy Shop

 

Positive: EVERY MOTHER FUCKING THING ABOUT IT. One of my favorite parts of the show. When the drums start (0.40) it sounds soooooooooooooooooooOoOoOo good.

 

Negative: It looks pretty bad on the dvd. 

 

Next: Spanish Lesson 

[MXRXNCHX 1,131]

Spanish Lesson

 

Positive: I really like how the beat goes with the guitar. Her voice on this one it's pretty cool

 

Negative: It's a little bit boring, just a bit

 

 

Next up is Waiting

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Waiting

 

Positive: I love the horns. I love the sex that drips out of my ears when I listen to it. And I love the chorus.

 

Negative: It's a bit long. Only Erotica track I'll say that about.

 

 

Next: Has To Be

[survivalartist 6,687]

Has To Be

 

+ Its like floating on a cloud during a hangover and being massaged by little baby faced angels.

- Sometimes I'm not in the mood to be massaged by little baby faced angels

 

Next: The Beat Goes On (Demo)

[mr00mister 901]

The Beat Goes On

 

+ oh my god I love it! it sounds so simple, but it's an amazing dance tune at the same time! the acoustic guitar on the beginning lifts you up immediately, the R&B roots on it, the 'I can't keep waiting for you' part, how different is from the finished version... I love it!

 

- the spoken part on the beginning, with the echo, iis kinda annoying tbh.

 

next song: Falling Free

[voguemadonna 650]

Falling free

 

Positive: I absolutely love how the song slightly speeds up and how there isn't a real chorus.

 

Negative: It was never made a single.

 

Next: Hollywood

[MXRXNCHX 1,131]

Hollywood

 

Positive: This is a masterpiece. I could listen to it for 24/7 and still, wouldn't get enough of it. The music video it's one of my favorites, the remixes are way too awesome

 

Negative: Underrated Madonna at her finest

 

Next up is Skin

[star guardian 735]

Skin:

 

Positive: I feel like I'm lost between dimensions and float in time ends when I hear this song. It's SO good, it really gets me like i'm traveling and traveling and discovering everything like i own everything and I LOVE this song.

 

Negative: TBH for me there's no negative point in this masterpiece aljsçlalçslakçsk

 

next up iss............ Nothing Fails. If NF was already chosen, Hung Up (Sticky & Sweet Tour Version). 

[devilpray 2,390]

hey we repeat songs all the time so dont worry about that lmao

 

Hung Up (S&S Tour Version)

 

Positive: it looks great on the dvd!

 

Negative: it's a meh performance, frozen is soooooooooo much better.

 

Next: Vogue

[mr00mister 901]

Vogue

 

+ the most iconic Madonna song in history. it settled a path and a way to make pop music for the future. it's been over 25 years and it still spunds so fresh, and there are so few songs that can be said the same about. it's the drums, the lyrics, the mood, her vocal performance on top... the history of the song itself, and what it caused to society. you can't talk about The Queen if you skip this song.

 

- no. nothing negative. its her most important song.

 

next song: Burning Up.

[survivalartist 6,687]

Burning Up+ My favorite Madonna is just like IDGAF I'll Say It, this song was likely her debut. Rock n roll chick style and its just so much fun. No shame.- Strangely missing from any hits package. Hard to do at karaoke.Next: Your favorite remix or live version of Frozen (your choice, treat yo' self)
