The whole reason of why Madonna became so big it's proprably because she was always capable of making song with simple lyrics but with a strong impact. Holiday, everybody, into the groove are all song with lyrics so simple that everybody can connect with, and that's the essence of popular music. Simple lyrics are not necessarly bad or less meaningful that lyrics more poetry. Where life begins for example is a song about orale Sex for women. Admit in a song for a women in the 90s that she want a partner that satisfay her in that way after a day of work (like most Men in the past that come back home after work and find her wife ready to do it) it's not so ordinary. Sometimes songs can assume new meaning in some contest. Michael dango explain in his book why Erotica was so related with AIDS even though only one song really talk about it. By the way she is co-writing her songs not every songs but if she decided to sing that means she found those right and her catalogue is full with poetic lyrics. Do you really think that the reason for the success of Madonna's songs is due to her simple lyrics? I rather think that it is the rhythm much more than the lyrics. How do we explain Madonna's great success in places where people do not speak or know the English language and have no idea what she says in her songs? For me, the key to the success of Madonna's songs was the rhythm of her songs and the right sounds and instrumentalization for the final product. She could have sung her greatest hits in Italian, Hebrew or some language of her own creation and these songs would have been equally successful. But to be honest, I don't know if she would have been successful in the United States if her songs had been in another language or if she were from another non-English speaking country. I think that in this specific country, they are more "nationalistic" in that aspect and prefer music whose lyrics they can understand.

deathproof 10,640 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Has anyone figured out what the ringtone is at the beginning of Hung Up? I keep replaying it, cause it sounds so familiar, but i cant figure out what song it is. Erotica? Open Your Heart? Fever?

Salida 515 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 'Simple lyrics' because she doesn't use overly complicated words to pose as a snob intellectual is like saying that Hemingway has a bad writing style, because he uses short sentences with simple words. Madonna has amazing lyrics and because she's ultra versatile, of course not all of them are this way, and they don't have to be. She has many songs that would be ruined if they had complicated and 'slow' (both to sing and to process) lyrics. She has the depth when she needs it, the lightness when she needs it and the humor when she needs it. One of the many reasons that I love and respect her so much is that this same woman can write: 'This used to be my playground', 'I'm going bananas' and 'Holy water.'

Tony got sick and had to leave the room to throw up while he was trying to change her costume. She clothed herself and her wig kept getting stuck in the body suit. Then she tripped on the way to her que under the stage and hit her head, having to wipe off all the blood.

That, and it seems her mic was not working, you can hear the vocals on the backing tape at low volume and her live vocals come in pretty harsh 2 times, not timed, just BAM.

Roland Barthes 5,896 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Are we getting kectured on lyrics quality by a effing Shakira and Trashtina fan ? Get a grip. They are b to c listers in terms of quality. Even MDNA would be their best album. You have bad taste, evertthing you say is biased by it like living in an upside down universe. The nerve. Stay in your lane, frankly. Wost taste in music trying to lecture people. It's like a 50 shades if grey fan saying Marguerite Duras is trash. zephyr in the sky at night, Burning Up 4 Madonna, Pedro Beltran and 3 others 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
