Singles... if Erotica never received damage control treatment

[Anapausis 6,136]

One thing I know for sure: I'd love to see Waiting as a single, even if it were the remix feat. Everlast. Goodbye to Innocence (any version, released or not, atp I made it up to all of them) could have been a lovely B-side. Maybe Shame too if she would believe in its lyrics potential.

I think the singles would have been pretty much the same.

How old are you?  Maybe CONFESSIONS left you cold as you are a little too young to have much of a connection with the 1970s and 1980s music it is such a homage to…?

It is a pastiche of sounds!

That are all confessions on a dance floor... I suspect the Besson's scrapped film was not only titled this way, but the plot how M would present COADF album... Much more than just saving Hung Up, I Love New York and Future Lovers from the limbo where the other songs from musical were destinated to be.

I Love NY was for the musical? Interesting

It was for a musical, M confirmed it. Hello Suckers! or the Besson one. Maybe it was planned for the first, then the second, then...

I Love New York was indeed meant for the Luc Besson musical, so were Hung Up and I'm in Love with Love. However Future Lovers was conceived during the actual Confessions sessions unlike what is said above.

The Girlie Show is perfect though, it would be a crime to change anything.

But I think Rescue Me as an encore after JML and before Everybody could have been epic. Can you fucking imagine.

Holy shit that would have been amazing. My heart would stop!

Erotica singles: How it should have went IMO.

Deeper and Deeper

Erotica

Rain

Thief of Hearts

Bad Girl

As long as Fever was a b-side with all the remixes, somewhere here - yes!

Not that I doubt you, but where do we know for sure ILNY was part of the Luc Besson musical?  Everything I've read and know it just came from Madonna while she was on tour during RIT with Stuart, and she wanted to include the demo version I'm Going to Tell You a Secret and then re-worked it for COADF?

[skyfitswim 916]

i wish thief of hearts was a singel (with a great video )  and words,  not bye  bye baby or fever ( i like the video version a lot beter then the album version)

[Anapausis 6,136]

Oh dear @skyfitswim, imagine if Warner had given the green light for Thief of Hearts becoming a single... AT THAT TIME...

I think what let down the girlie show was the costumes - they just weren’t as iconic as BA or WTG tour imo - the set list and musical production was probably better than BA though and that stage was amazing design too - I loved the little boxes they used in the first act 

I can't get over that there's somebody out there that doesn't like the girlie show costumes.

Maybe they weren't 'in your face' as much, but they fit into the show perfectly

Already at the time of the Blond Ambition and Justify my love the press and the public began to perceive everything only as a way of doing scandal at all costs and then sell. I believe that Madonna with the project "Erotica" "sex" and the film "body of evidence" did nothing but reinforce this belief.
However, she could not show up in 1992 with a "like a prayer2" or a pop album when the music scene had completely changed.
Also I think Shep Pettibone was great as a remixer but didn’t have the ability to withstand the production of an entire album whose songs too often are not very incisive and repetitive in sounds.
This is demonstrated by the fact that even with other artists with whom he worked at that time he flopped always repeating the same patterns.
Put it all together ....

Totally. Somebody said here that she was to flop anyway with the fifth album, after that dick tracy soundtrack, and she knew it totally, so she went totally for this lol
