Game: + and - of Madonna Songs

[Dazedmadonna 17,936]

GonePositive: Lovely song, Madonna's vocals are amazing on this song, and Mirwais production is always 1010Negative: Only thing I don't like on it are the Orbit FXs, which come from his demo, they sound a bit dated.Next: You Must Love Me

[survivalartist 6,643]

You Must Love Me+ FiNALLY a single for Evita, a new ballad on the heels of Something To Remember. It felt like forever back in the day. I didnt know anything about Evita, the single with Rainbow High was a great introduction.- The weird box the single came in and how the radio edit was not on the album, I get it but still it should be there.Next: Inside Out

[voguemadonna 648]

Inside Out

 

Positive: The melody is absolutely perfect and fits the lyrics so well.

Negative: I doubt it will be a single.

 

Next: Revolver (MDNA Tour Version)

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Revolver (MDNA Tour mix)

 

Positive: I love the intro without the beats. Yes gawd. And Lil Wayne sounds better for some reason.

 

Negative: Yeah... the vocoder was just a tad TOO much. Dial it back a bit, and it would've been perfect

 

 

Next: This Used To Be My Playground

[Primul5 185]

This Used To Be My Playground

 

Positives: Beautiful melody and lyrics, music video, strings arrangement, one of my mom's favourite (even though she's "not as big" fan of Madonna ;D)

 

Negatives: This song is a true perfection (for me, anyway) so there's nothing wrong with this song, but... it has never been performed live ;(

 

Next: Best Friend

[devilpray 2,388]

Best Friend

 

Positive: the MDNA Tour version is great.

 

Negative: it's not even a bad track, it's just meh

 

Next: Across the Sky

[MXRXNCHX 1,131]

Across The Sky

 

Positive: The guitar and the beat are perfect, her voice sounds more natural on this one

 

Negative: It wasn't included on Hard Candy (tbh, it should've replaced Spanish Lesson)

 

 

Next up is Amazing

[survivalartist 6,643]

Til Death Do Us Part

 

Positive: Another amazing fuck you diatribe with gorgeous synths, Madonna somehow crams the entire decade of the 80s into one track. 

Negative: Perfection. Nothing else out there like it. 

 

Next: Paradise (Not For Me)

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

Paradise (Not For Me)

 

Positive: Easily the best track on Music. Not even a question. And I actually really like the dated synths, fyi

 

Negative: Her whispering, when I'm not in the right mood, is a tad grating.

 

 

Next: Ray of Light

[voguemadonna 648]

Ray Of Light

 

Positive: Easily one of my favorite Madonna songs. Her vocals are amazing, especially that high note.

Negative: None

 

Next: White Heat

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

White Heat

 

Positive: I love this song so much (and so does someone else @@voguemadonna) and I'm all about the mafioso in the song. The pre-chorus specifically is my favorite.

 

Negative: Got nothing.

 

Next: Let It Will Be

[devilpray 2,388]

Let It Will Be

 

Positive: The strings and the live version!

 

Negative: The album versions lacks a bit of energy imo

 

 

Next: Santa Baby       

[MXRXNCHX 1,131]

Santa Baby

 

Positive: I like the classic feeling it has (?)

 

Negative: Even if I like the song, it creeps me out big time. Whenever I hear it I just imagine the intro for an 80's horror christmas movie, showing the bodies of the first massacre LOL

 

Next is Nobody Knows Me (Peter Rauhofer's Private Life Part 1) *I really want to know how you feel about this mix*

[voguemadonna 648]

Nobody Knows Me (Peter Rauhofer's Private Life Part 1)

 

Positive: It isn't that much longer than the original (I'm not a fan of really long remixes). It also didn't really mess with her vocals which I really appreciate. 

Negative: There wasn't anything really negative about it, I just like the original so much that to me any change is bad change (with the exception of the MDNA tour version)

 

Next: X-Static Process

[MeantToBeIconic 998]

X-Static Process

 

Positive: I couldn't have asked for anything better for the ballad of American Life. This is the best of the 'love trilogy' on this album

 

Negative: This might just be my version of of the album, but the very beginning is mixed in with the end of Intervention and it bothers me. Mixing stays on COADF, thanks

 

Next: Jimmy Jimmy (i'm so sorry)

[Stevo 6,451]

Jimmy jimmyPositive: fun, upbeat and the vocals are cute.Negative: most Madonna songs, to me sound about 5 years ahead of their time and dont seem to age. In my opinion, I think this song, and a few other non singles from true blue sound quite dated.Next song: one more chance?

[survivalartist 6,643]

One More Chance

 

+ YAS ACOUSTIC ALL DAY YAS. 

- Some of the lyrics are sorta silly. 

 

Next: Pretender

[Dazedmadonna 17,936]

PretenderPositive: It's a fun track, lyrics are kinda cool.Negative: Pretty forgettable.Next: Holiday 2009

[devilpray 2,388]

Holiday 2009

 

Positive: I love the mashup with Celebration. When she performed it for the first time I remember that noone realised that the instrumental was from Celebration (Or Celebrate according to rumours back then lol)

 

Negative: The performance should've been an bonus on the S&S Tour dvd.

 

Next: Inside of Me

[survivalartist 6,643]

Inside Of Me

 

+ Beautiful delivery, delicate and innocent. A memory of someone hard to forget - also possibly another cute little ode to self pleasure. Love Nellee Hooper's sound so much.

- Could be more risque but its a cute one to ease the transition from Erotica. 

 

Next: I'm A Sinner

[Stevo 6,451]

I'm a sinner.Pos: love the whole sound and feel of the song, and the fact that it has a very ray of light-esque feel about it.Neg: the "ah-woo-ooh" bits lol are a minor negative.Next: Words

[voguemadonna 648]

Words

 

Positive: I love the tempo of this song, I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but it fits perfectly.

Negative: It isn't my favorite song off Erotica, but there isn't anything necessarily bad about it in my opinion.

 

Next: Set The Right

[Dazedmadonna 17,936]

Set The Right

 

Positive: It's a lovely song, I swear every Mirwais+Madonna production is pure perfection

Negative: Should have been finished and put on American Life

 

Next: Justify My Love (Girlie Show Live)

[voguemadonna 648]

(I'm not letting this thread die just because the discography rate is happening)

 

Justify My Love (Girlie Show Live)

 

Positive: Musically, it's fine

Negative: I just feel like the performance didn't fit the song

 

Next: S.E.X

[Dazedmadonna 17,936]

S.E.X.Positive: Since the demo, this song got me. There's something on it that drives me insane tbh. And the final >>>>Negative: There's some vocal editing fails, should have been corrected with the mixing but oh well..Next: Take A Day
