They make it sound it’s being offered for free ??? I swear some eBay deals went as low as $150 if not lower.
And yes, I came here to talk about the SEX book. It sold for $149 when it launched, and it was a premium limited edition coffee table book with original photoshoots and an exceptional design, and a tour companion goes for $225... *sigh* she really is a Material Girl and it shows so viciously, in the last few years.

I wonder how it would be if TIDAL or YOUTUBE saw my work..
Maybe they will want my files to replace the bad quality videos?
What do you all think? Is that possible?

Paradise (Not for Me) 1000%

The company behind Q-Sound, the 3D sound processing algorithm used for the album actually made a few programs making use of the "classic" Q-Sound 3D algorithm. While most of them were plugins, QCreator was a program that allowed people to create "3D audio" via exporting mono WAV files and manually adding pans to it.
Someone managed to save this 32-bit software and upload it to the Internet Archive, which I'll link here to ensure a wave of fanmade Q-Sound mixes of Madonna songs to come through: https://archive.org/details/qcinst

What do you think? I did a test with Justify My Love and the result is horrible, but some frames looks ok.
 
Do you want to see with colors "Oh, Father", "Vogue", "Justify My Love", etc, in the future when this A.I. will be better?

Hey,

First of all I wanted to say that if this post doesn't belong here, please feel free to move it to wherever it should be.

I wanted to show you a project I made last year, in light of what I saw posted here by other user showing his Immaculate Collection 30th anniversary box (which is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G).
I wanted to make something especial and never before seen from her, so I chose the vinyl format and added som personal touches to the artwork. I know vinyl is not the perfect choice for some, but I really like the big covers hahahaha
In the extras, I put some studio demos and rehearsals, and something I'd love to happen: a conversation between Madonna and Stuart over the creative process, the selection of songs and everything else.
 
Lemme know your thoughts

The only hope for a big comeback now is fully embracing her legacy. An official mega Hollywood biopic + compilation/greatest hits tour would do wonders for her image. It's time.
I love "Madame X" and I'm very grateful she's still hungry and wanting to do new things, but it's time to remind people her great legacy.
I was at a party with friends of all ages recently and I was super surprised how now Elton Jonh is super cool and popular again. I was like "what?". And it's all because of his "Rocketman" biopic. Same with Queen and the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie.
Madonna has all the great songs, videos, tours, looks, EVERYTHING. But people need to see all that again - or some new generations for the very first time. 

She should cancel the rest of the tour. Cut the loss. Go direct the movie & get that out of her well-deserved system & then find something to be inspired by like Lisbon was but with better songwriters to help out, & yeah, set it to some beats. Come back at 65 and do an arena or stadium tour heavy on the hits.
Also, maybe the right documentary could help. A Netflix? Doc just about her & her life & career throw in some remastered archived live performances from the span of her career.  Express Yourself from the MTV Awards, Sooner Or Later from the Oscars, random tour performances.  It could even serve as a sampling for remastered early tour releases which she should also do to promote her fucking legacy.

To be fair, I was watching The Confessions Tour recently, and she didn't dance *that* much on that tour. I think she could still pull off a show like that today if there were a few modifications. Some of the most stunning performances had minimal choreography on her part (Future Lovers, Jump (minus the bridge, which wasn't overly impressive either lol), Live To Tell, Forbidden Love, Like It Or Not, Lucky Star...)
She needs to go back to working with a creative team that knows how to play up her strengths and retain the "Madonna X Factor" that her shows and music used to have. She doesn't need to do aerobics on stage for 2 hours in order to impress an audience.

Better management, better writers and producers because let’s face it, her song writing isn’t cutting it these days. I mean that with love tbh. 
It can be hard to recapture the magic she’s had throughout her career. I think she can attain some things she once had successfully before but I don’t think I’d call it a comeback. She’s really into trying new things, whether they bring her luck or not. Me personally, I’d love a dance album, going back to what Madonna was all about. Dance. 
 
She may not be able to dance like she did, even a few years ago, but she sure did make great dance music. Even throughout my lack of passion for the Madame X era, I still crave for that fun pop music icon Madonna.

What would it take for Madonna to have a proper comeback, Confessions Era-level, in 2020/2021? She deserves one more big era.

The thing is ..... usually she ruins the songs with the guitar (The Reinvention tour is the only one exception ), Holiday is nice, but as an intro ...

I fully expect a multiple show scrapbook style film, in the vein of ‘Madame X is a traveller in search of truth, love and world peace’ narrative. Stitched together with familiar stories of MX and struggle . I’d much prefer a simple, one show concert film.
Fingers crossed for a Netflix slot!

Album covers:
1. MDNA (Standard edition)
2. Confessions on a Dance Floor
3. Ray of Light

2. Music (Pt. 1 & 2)
3. Vogue
4. Rescue Me / Crazy For You '91
5. GHV2 Promo US Single.

I would put Something to remember on the list but I don't consider it an album. I would put Music too, but she looks like someone impersonating Madonna, as if she were somehow detached from herself, cannot explain it. 

I’d honestly be perfectly happy if she never toured again as long as she kept making music and Warner Bros. started treating her back catalog with the respect it deserves (remasters, anniversary editions, etc.).

Lmao i know right...
My opinion is certainly not popular around Madonna fanbase but i think M must be very difficult for a husband to live with. Guy Ritchie seems to me like a down to earth  and well balanced person. M was top notch when married with him. Her music was brilliant (Music, American Life, Confessions), she was always looking gorgeous from head to toes (clothes, face, hair...). Since her divorce imo she lost her head. She's singing "Bitch i'm Madonna" while wearing a village people leather hat, with a totally unrecognizable face and fake ass, with her lover as young as her kids dancing behind her. And Guy has a lovely family, just like when he was married with M.

Looking for 1 single ticket to any of the following Brooklyn shows: Sep 14, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, Oct 5. Preferably in the Orchestra. If anyone can help me, I can pay for VIP ticket, etc.

I think a lot of the dislike is towards how half-baked the tour seems to come off. Outside of "Iconic" or "Illuminati" the interludes which were normally events when it comes to her tours, were very cheap. Using footage from "Ghosttown" as a Messiah interlude (though it worked) seemed cheap. And we heard nothing about the scrapped S.E.X interlude which is seen for a few shots but basically being the Erotica video playing over it. Even outtakes from the Sex Book session would have been a treat but it just seemed rather lazy.

The opening segment is condensed. One minute you have the Joan of Arc theme, switches to Japanese, to religious/nun. Normally, the segues would come off more organically but this time, it came off rather abrupt. The good things about this tour is that it seems she is embracing her older catalogue, her legacy and played songs we thought we'd never hear live or again after years of not performing them.

I do miss the more structured, theme driven and top-notch scale of Confessions, S&S and MDNA but RHT did give us a more relaxed, open Madonna which I really enjoyed on the San Antonio stop. She was chatty, humorous and less guarded than she normally is.
