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

50% of the released album should've been bonus tracks

I remember Get The Party Started was suppose to be for M & also Diamonds by Sia. Not sure tho!

I wish I knew which Billy Steinberg & Tom Kelly song she rejected after she had recorded LAV. Who knows?

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

Keep in mind though Teardrop was only an instrumental when she heard it.

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

 

We can assume it was because it didn’t fit the direction she was going in

I love "Fleshtone". I always wish she had recorded "Brave" for MDNA. Didn't know about "Kids". I feel that way about Juliet "Avalon". Wish she had recorded that for Confessions. Then we would have gotten it mashed up with "Holiday" for the tour. A dark, brooding "Holiday"...we were robbed.

I remember before "Hey You" came out, there was a rumor she had covered Allison Limerick "Where Love Lives". Really wanted that to be true.

Wasn’t there a rumor of a Sia written song proposed to Madonna either as a whole song or a duet called Trust which was meant for MDNA and was rumored to be “a song like Live to Tell but sadder”?

This is the first time that I‘m hearing about this. No idea.

Sorry, I missed when “Diamonds” was offered to Madonna. Did Sia talk about this?
