Again, that reductive thing was blown out of proportion.She never called Lady Gaga reductive.She said Born this way was reductive compared to Express Yourself.Which means, some of the details are similar, but have been reduced to a minimum as to keep the two tracks still very distinct from one another.Example: only the bassline or chord progression could be maintained.She NEVER SAID lady gaga was reductive.She said Born this way felt reductive.See explanation above.

Remember the "Reductive" days and BTW background on MDNA Tour? This say so much about Madonna and Gaga relationship.But I remember Madonna saying "I forgive you LG" too.

That's Madonna's sense of humour, she was poking fun, tongue in cheek, she wasnt saying she doesn't like gaga....People are just too sensitive these days and make a mountain out of a mole hill

I just noticed that sites are using her recent instagram post to make an article bashing rebel heart for falling off the iTunes charts? And that her "rant" was directed towards that. If Madonna's music sells or not doesn't change how I feel about it or her, but how are these assholes going to bash Madonna on a false claim that she's blaming mistreatment towards women on her preorder sales when they are using the emotions of somebody to generate buzz and page hits? Awful.

At least Madonna something nice, and it may be true that the song is not about gaga. Madonna surely has feuds with many other people, and they don't have to be singers. Did you see what gaga posted on ig? calling M a witch ....and her fans say she's more mature than M :cryin: . The other day, Donatella versace said in an interview that she wanted to reconcile them, and that gaga would love to be friends with Madge, but Madonna s Madonna :laughing:

The album isn't even released, there is no single or official video yet lol :laughing: .

I think the preorders are doing ok tbh, look at how many reviews there are on Itunes, it's almost as much as Nikci minaj's album. That's a good indication!

I avoid such hateful sites, their click-baits and when silly people tweet stupid things like that, I mute and block them. That doofus Roger Friedman started the garbage article on Rebel Heart falling off the iTunes charts and it got picked up. Nothing new. He always does that to M. I'm glad people are finding out the kind of person he is https://twitter.com/jsumawathy/status/548821728286097408/photo/1

Pre-orders always tend to slide down the itunes charts after the initial pre-order launch, only to go back up when the albums are officially released. What M has achieved with the Rebel Heart pre order is actually unprecedented: # 1 ww iTunes Artist for almost a week; peaked @ #1 on Europe and WW iTunes album charts; her 6 tracks claimed Top 6 of the Europe iTunes chart and Top 7 of the ww iTunes chart simultaneously. And all these from a sudden release with no advance announcement, no promo, no official video, no tv ad, no radio promo, no official single debut etc. What ultimately matters is the music and I really think this is Madonna's best work in years with so many brilliant songs.

About Two Steps Behind Me...

 

Just tell it like it is.

The song lyrics are PERFECTLY applicable to Gaga.

No one else has been accused more of copying Madonna than Gaga.

Even her team wanted to prove "that it's not so difficult to do what Madonna does."

Delusional.

 

Music-wise, the song is actually really good. Reminds me of ABBA though.
