Songs that Madonna passed on...

[Jakey 195]

We all know about Alone Again, that Kylie ended up recording, Like a Flower (Laura Pausini) and even Revenge (Sophie Ellis-Bextor). 

Does anyone know of any other songs that Madonna passed on that ended up recorded by other artists?

Love Won't Wait. 

Gary Barlow did it.

Never heard it before, nice!

Then there was "Each Time You Break My Heart". It was originally intended for True Blue.

The correct title is "Alone Again"

Damn it, I got my wires crossed with Cher  Thank you for the correction.

[Nobody Knows Me 4,625]

Get The Party Started by Pink and Don’t Wake Me Up by Chris Brown. 

[Jakey 195]

Loved Don't Wake Me Up, both the Orbit and Benassi versions!

Baffling how she didn't put in on an album of hers, I mean she co-wrote it, and her demo's nice and the song's great and poppy, very feel-good ... I wonder what happened there before she gave it to Gary

It sure has a True Blue feel to it!

[artlover 1,877]

Be Careful, to a certain extent...

Just a Dream

It's very baffling.

She did this with Shep after Erotica and before what was to become Bedtime Stories. Why on earth didn't she include it? This could have been track number 11, with Take a Bow as number 12...

Its horrible and sounds like a rip off of I Love the Nightlife.

wth, they sound nothing alike

[Nahual 360]

just heard Each Time You Break My Heart for the first time; I'm glad Madonna didn't keep it. The instrumental is fine, but the lyrics sound trite even for an 80's song. :x

"Don't Wake Me Up" would have been fucking amazing. That chorus with her voice. Ugh. 

I didn't know about "Get The Party Started". Glad she passed.

[luluthecat 269]

What was the story behind Get The Party Started? Wasn't it Linda Perry the one who wanted M on it?? So glad she turned it down. There's a few I wish she'd turned down Girl Gone Wild and Revolver  

Moby first approached M to record New York New York before it went to Debbie Harry, shame as it's such a fun track! 

Another MDNA reject was MIA's Sexodos - love this track

Another great MDNA reject was Kids by Free School & Boyz Noize which samples Sirismo's High Together,  Kelis previously recorded it for her album Flesh Tones. Jean-Baptiste (Free School) said in an interview that M even recorded a vocal for Kids, so it's out there somewhere.

Another AMAZING track is she stupidly turned down along with "Wake Me Up" was "Can't Forget You" by William Orbit Laurie Mayer, Jean-Baptiste sings the demo.

There's a SIA song too on one of her album but I don't know which track it is.

MDNA could've been a fucking EPIC album if she'd had her head screwed on straight.

Baby Love by Regina it was written by Stephen Bray and offered to her but she declined it was later covered by Dannii Minogue, also there is Heart by Pet Shop Boys which they wrote with her in mind though they never offered it to her & there is Teardrop by Massive Attack which she did want to do but they decided to get Elizabeth Fraser insead

[Nobody Knows Me 4,625]

Was Pure Shores by All Saints originally for Madonna or have I made that up?

All extremely justifiable rejects to me. Could have been endless bonus tracks on MDNA.

Nick Scotti's Get over was originally intended for the Immaculate Collection.

 

Possessive love, written with Pat Leonard, was given (or maybe intended from the start) to Marylin Martin who sang backup vocals on Cherish:
