Revenge and GGG sound like Mozart compared to some of the material she's released in the last 15 years. Her vocals, the emotion and melody are all there. I'm sure you would all gag for them and the Offer Nissim Sarcophagus 12" Anthem mixes of said tracks had she released them. 

I wonder if we would have gotten a cheesier, trancier version of ROL in '96 if not for Mehvita. I'm sure I would have loved every bit of it. 

I was going to say this. The leaked versions of "Revenge" and "Gone Gone Gone" were demos and should be treated as such. They could have evolved a lot if considered for the final album.
The early versions of the final songs we got on "Ray Of Light" are most of them also very far from the greatness we got in the end. Demos are demos.

Isn't what leaked just a demo? It's pretty unfair to judge it since it is pretty bare bones the way the demo for TPOG sounds. Would love to have heard if Orbit or Marius produced a version. I really love it lyrically and it always felt like an alt-version of Sky Fits Heaven.

Was a great tour and ended on a perfect high note.
Onto the next.

I've actually been listening to this and "Gone Gone Gone" a lot. Love them both.
I had no idea RM turned her down! 

What's it been like dealing with the psycho M fans who can't take that you aren't Madonna's bitch like them for the last 40 years?
What was your reaction to Mariah Carey referencing you by name when talking about the amazing ad libs on Like A Prayer?
I've got the moves, do you in fact have the lotion?

This is exactly why a 2 hour or even 3 hour biopic is not gonna work for me. This paragraph alone should be turned into a God damn mini series.

Caresse's departure also coincides with a settlement they finally had with Warner regarding the sale of Maverick,  she was the negociator in this and she left right after the announcement of the deal. 
Also Madonna was based in London at the time and Caresse was still living in LA, she needed someone on a day to day basis which becker being in London was perfect for. She parted ways once she made up her mind to go back to New York. As much as Confessions was a huge worldwide success it was not really the case in the USA which pissed off Madonna, hence Hard Candy being totally manufactured for the american market, in some ways it's like a disco RnB version of Confessions. 
Sometimes people read too much into things when it's just business and not a soap opera. On the other hand i've recently been told the real reason why her friendship with Gwyneth ended is not really Tracy Anderson but Madonna wanted Gwyneth to star in a movie she directed ( the person could not tell if it was F&W or WE) and she did not want to, Madonna twisted her arm into doing it but Gwyneth did not falter other sources say she wanted to Gwyneth to publicly support her with the adoption of David because Madonna felt no one was defending her. And between Swept away and Confessions she was undergoing hormonal therapy to get pregnant. And the Kaballah aspect was totally out of control as they were using rabbis as marital therapists and Kaballah (Torah) to win arguments over each other (guy & madonna) which was all the time. Another thing no ones ever mentionned, the mysterious woman who supposedly called her to ask her to do something about Malawi is bs. The church of Kaballah had already established itself in Malawi and the Bergs are the ones who told Madonna about it and how she could be "a healer" and seen as a dogooder, in fact it started as far as when the same rabbi told her to make these children books to fund the spirituality for kids charity which turned out to be an embezzlement. Madonna sought help from many governments and i know that the french government turned down her request because upon inspection the charity was heavily involved in Kaballah which is registered as a cult in France. They made her think she was special and had healing powers, was a superior being....which is funny considering she said many times Kaballah was responsable for taming her ego, in fact they controlled it to take her money and use her as a pawn to attract new followers. It all blew up when officials and the press investigated into her Malawi venture and she discovered she had been robbed, all the money she invested to build schools was gone. Tracy Anderson's bf was the one in charge. She sought help from Jeffrey Sachs and he really saved her ass in Malawi. Then the Bergs died. But yes, Madonna was heavily manipulated by the church of Kaballah in every aspect of her life and i wonder how it affected her and what it mentally did to her because it was her whole life. Everything she had built in the late 90's, early 00's was gone : her marriage, her "religion", Maverick, people close to her etc...I don't know what her ties are now to Michael Berg or the Church of Kaballah, it disappeared miraculously from the media and no one paid attention to it or said anything. Very good PR. As in almost every era of Madonna's life there's a big story there which has not been revealed at all. 
 

Was this all reported in tabloids at the time?! I don't remember any of this lol
There is no way she wasn't boinking Cloud. 

The Kabbalah Years have the potential to be made into one of the greatest Lifetime films ever. I don't understand why they havent done "Life With My Sister Madonna" yet.

I love the album version of HN and the remixes, but have always hated how it sounds live.

'Erotica' is a masterpiece, but 'Human Nature,' despite its great lyrics, sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me due to its melody and instrumentation. It was actually the first Madonna song I couldn't stand (the second being 'Bitch I'm Madonna,' though to a lesser extent). Thankfully, the remixes of 'Human Nature' exist; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to listen to it at all.
I find it more surprising when someone says that 'Open Your Heart' and 'Express Yourself' are the worst singles from their albums

Her turning a McDonald's into a McDonna's for her birthday and showing up in Ronald drag is way more fab and will still piss everyone off. Someone let her know.

I have so much affection for Nikki and Donna that I would ask them about themselves, not about Madonna. I'd want to hear how they felt during those years of 'fame,' both the highs and the lows. I became a fan of Madonna when they were inseparable in the late '80s, and their split felt like my favorite band breaking up (even though I know all the work was Madonna's idea)
