MDRA 4,222 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) 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?

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 ...

Nahual 599 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 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 Levon and NowRadiate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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 1,109 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 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. https://vk.com/video-38134592_171378488 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. Xander, Levon, Gâteau and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louis.exe 1,992 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 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 Levon and NothingReallyMatters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrico 15,786 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 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: Levon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
