Game: + and - of Madonna Songs

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Take A BowPositive: Great ballad and single that truly deserved it's number one spot. I love those little synths (check me on that, I'm not quite sure what they are) at the beginning where you really hear them.Negative: Can I get a performance or something? Jeez. She's neglected the song, and that's saddening.Next (y'all are going to hate me for this one): Autotune Baby

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Justify My Love

Negative: probably nothing

YAAAASSSSS QUEEN SLAY MY LIFE BY BRINGING THIS THREAD BACK

 

 

 

Messiah

Negative: I can't think of one, LOL @ Me

 

 

Next: I'm Addicted

[devilpray 2,387]

k im bored so ill do this one until someone else joins again

 

I'm Addicted

 

Positive: it's the best song on MDNA, the live performance was awesome!

 

Negative: the drums sound cheap and dont match with the rest of the song

 

Next: Holiday

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

...what's next?

[devilpray 2,387]

...what's next?

 

oops my bad

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Holiday

 

 

Positive: It's one of the funnest Madonna song, and it always cheers me up when I'm in a bad mood

 

Negative: Um... well... it does sound a bit dated, but only a bit.

 

 

Next: Human Nature

[madgefan 10,148]

Human Nature,

 

Positive: It's a song where Madonna seems very confident when singing it, it actually fits her celebrity personality quite well

Negative: It's become so fucking overplayed I'm sure lots of fans are on their nerves! Hope she doesn't include it in the next tour

 

Next,

 

Little Star

[survivalartist 6,466]

Little Star

 

Positives: Madonna finally does a little drum-n-bass. Love the way the bassline touches like drops of water, William Orbit really shines here.

Negatives: The lyrics are cringeworthy but-ter-fly

 

Next:

The Beast Within

[Nicmag 380]

The Beast Within:

 

Positive 1: The live performance in TGS is flawless.

 

Positive 2: You won't find a more mystic Madonna.

 

Negative: I don't know why she kept the lines from Justify My Love. They don't match the rest.

 

Next song: Like a Flower

[mr00mister 893]

Like A Flower.

 

positive: the chord progression on the chorus is just heaven, and the production is incredibly good. the lyrics are clever, and the 'flower' metaphore is interesting, as a love that never stops growing up, even thought you don't make it grow anymore.

 

negative: why wasn't released as a B-side? some nice details on the chorus, as a different dum sound, would have made the song even more awesome (or a simple tambourine).

 

next song: Spanish Lesson

[survivalartist 6,466]

ugh should I just do this one....

 

Spanish Lesson

Positives: I am now able to speak Spanish.  ummmm... The song is catchy.... errr This is a song. With words. And music.

Negatives: The words and music are crap.

 

Next: Love Won't Wait

[unapologeticheart 872]

Love won't wait

 

Positive:A masterpiece that belongs on "something to remember", great lyrics, melody and M's voice is perfect for the song

Negative: She gave it to that guy :1f614:

 

Next song: I'm Going Bananas

[survivalartist 6,466]

I'm Going Bananas 

 

Positives: "Who knows? Could be the wine I drink or its the way I think that makes me gonzo." One of my favorite "this bitch is crazy" Madonna tracks. Complete nonsense but so much fun. I love the almost insulting Spanish accent. 

Negatives: I have no idea what the fuck she is talking about.

 

Next: Tragic Girl

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Tragic Girl

 

Positive: Oh, I loved this demo. It's really personal, and the vocals seem unedited/edited to the minimum, and it works so well

 

Negative: The Etienne Remix. Not particularly feeling it.

 

 

 

Next: Candy Perfume Girl

[mikenmark 422]

Candy Perfume Girl

 

Positive: The really airy light breakdown that proceeds into drums and bass.  Completely takes you off guard

Negative: The lyrics don't mean anything, such a waste

 

next: Erotica

[madgefan 10,148]

Erotica,

 

Positive: A kind of edgy song uncommon for pop musics standards at any stage of Madonna's career. I really don't think it's radio friendly but it does sound interesting. And the words are so hypnotic and almost hunting @.@

 

Negative: It's been perfomed live in its 'original' version and 'pace' only once.

 

Next,

 

Run

[mikenmark 422]

Run

Positive: The melody, the bass, love this song

Negative: Never released officially

 

Next up: fever

[NowRadiate 3,331]

Fever

Positive: A classic tune, great melody and lyrics, great vocals, great live mix

Negative: Dated house beat on the album version (even for the time of its release)

 

Next: Impressive Instant

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Impressive Instant

 

Positive: The beat, the glitchy vocals. It's so dance, and unique in comparison to the rest of "Music"

 

Negative: I like to singy, singy, singy...

 

 

 

 

Next: Pala Tute (Unreleased Hard Candy Track)

[devilpray 2,387]

Pala Tute / Latte / Lela Pala Tute / Madness of Love / etc

 

Positive: her vocals sound great mixed with timberlakes harmonies

 

Negative: It wasnt on the album

 

Next: Get Together

[madgefan 10,148]

Get Together,

 

Positive: One of the best tracks number 2 on any Madonna record ever! Very Kyliesque, reminds of Holiday Stardust 2001 mix, very ethereal and super duper gayly danceable if you know what I mean.

 

Negative: Basic lyrics. It's not as famous as Hung Up or Sorry since it was released during the tour and the video did not help that much. It wasn't performed live again.

 

Next, Miss You

[mikenmark 422]

Miss you

 

Positive:Great folk song, love the stripped down feel of just the guitar and M's vocals

Negative: Here in the UK we have a chain of cheap restaurants called Harvester's.  Apparently they're everywhere...

 

Next: Dear Jessie

[momosfantasy 947]

Dear Jessie

 

Positive:  It was a single (I remember finding that out when I just started getting into collecting, and it was a definite WTF moment.)  Fun song, great single cover, vinyl AND CD picture discs.  I love it when M does the unusual or unexpected.

 

Negative: No remixes, never performed live.  

 

 

Next: Easy Ride
