I know it provokes strong reactions but I've never heard Madame X called 'filler'!

That's my opinion.

Well I gathered that. I just don't think even folk who dislike the album could argue that the songs on it are comparable to e.g. Superstar, which is what I'd call filler.

I would choose any day  Superstar over those Maluma duets, funana or even some of the other pretentious tracks of Madame x, to tell you the truth. And she sung much better on MDNA than in Madame x álbum.

What makes them "pretentious" for you?

cause she it´s like she is trying high art or been seen as the experimental girl and then it´s like: ok, it´s a shit of a song (for me). I´m speaking about that one about life being a circle,  batuka and the one she did in eurovision, can´t remember the name. For me they are pretty bla. At least superstar was lovely and she is having fun.

Someone tackling ideas and new things in music isn't "pretentious' though, and you not liking something just means you don't like it. It doesn't mean M was trying to be something she's not. She clearly cared deeply about the project and had plenty of fun making it.

It’s amazing how much debate MX album brings out in fans - I think it must be her most divisive album since American life and I blame Mirwais for that …

Yes, I understand you are fan of this album, so sorry if you felt dissapointed. For me Madame x was very very dissapoiting, and  a very unmadonna record by the way, but I enjoy that it has its public too. The whole era it´s like a nighmare for me, starting with the way she sings, the eurovision performance, her wigs, and finishing with the milk bath video speaking on youtube about covid, after the many injuries that caused many cancelations. Then the strange singles came and voila, it´s my less favourite Madonna time ever. Despite all this, some songs are ok after all. And I must say she is doing great lately, so I´m very happy for her. 

But ok, I quite enjoy Hard Candy, Mdna and Rebel Heart and they are atacked here daily, so it´s only fair I can be honest about how I feel about the Madame x era on this board. I know I´m not alone.

I'm not taking issue with you disliking the album - that's obviously your feeling and it's pointless arguing about that. I just disagreed that it could be called 'filler' or 'pretentious'.

Yes, it's an album some fans hate it and others love it. I think it's her worst album ever, I hate the whole era, visuals, photoshoots, songs and tour and I pretend it never existed in my mind. Madame X seems a soundtrack of a movie called Madame X, I don't see it as a Madonna album, but an album by her Madame X's character. 

I'm a fan since 1984 and it never happened before with a Madonna's work. Even MDNA, it was the era I least enjoyed until Madame X, but it has good moments like Love Profusion, Falling Free, Beautiful Killer, Masterpiece and some others, the videos are good and although the tour is not my favorite, it's a big production.
