IamZod got a reaction from Iivetotell in No hating but...what happened to Madonna after 2007?
I don’t know why people always cite 2007 as the beginning of the end. Hard Candy was a great album, and very shrewd, let down by awful artwork. Confessions Part II was never going to happen. Sticky & Sweet was a huge tour.

Not as such. There was a 12” of Holiday and a clear picture disc in different artwork. The b-sides were YCD mixes.

These UK sleeves re two of my favourites.
still never found a 7” copy of Lucky Star.

IamZod got a reaction from Shoful in The Lost Art in Singles and B-Sides
Given all the unreleased material, we really got shafted when it came to b-sides. Certainly, each TB single onwards could have had a non-album track b-side quite easily. After all, money was spent recording the songs, and at the very least, they would have been b-side quality. Instrumental b-sides would have been better than album tracks.
Given writers on b-sides earned the same as the a-side writers, as long as it was a Madonna co-write it shouldn't have mattered to her much what song was on a b-side.
In terms of artwork, you can't beat a physical release, especially on 12" when the picture sleeve was particularly nice. I generally thought that Madonna was up there when it came to good picture sleeves. The Look Of Love is a particular favourite, and Express Yourself.

IamZod got a reaction from PlayPause in If It Had a Music Video
Was she on tour when Rescue Me was released? It’s very strange that such a key single didn’t have a video.

IamZod got a reaction from Aiwa08 in BEDTIME STORIES: Her Most Underrated Album!
I'm one of those in the "I like the cover art and about three songs" camp. Personally I think it's her worst album. Survival and Take A Bow are the only two songs I really love. I remember when I first played it and being excited by Survival and having high expectations, which dropped lower with each successive track.
I like Human Nature, but less over time. The title track is OK. The video was better than the song, which was wafer thin (but I'm not a Bjork fan either so perhaps I just don't 'get it'). Never cared for Secret. So really, the first and last tracks are my go-to.
I have tried to like it more, but it just isn't happening. It's not an awful album, I just don't find most of it very memorable.

Social media just brings out the worst in people. If I was that famous I wouldn’t have any social media. I’d always be asking people to come say the things they do to my face and receive a free gift of a broken jaw.

IamZod got a reaction from Voguerista in Poll: Favorite video: Give Me All Your Luvin' or Living for Love?
Give Me was great. So colourful, with plenty going on. I really loved that recordand had the video on repeat.
Still one of my favourites.

IamZod got a reaction from geert in Poll: Favorite video: Frozen or Nothing Really Matters?
There’s one shot in Frozen, where she covers her face and it reappears at a different angle, that is sheer genius.
For that reason, I choose Frozen.

IamZod reacted to Voguerista in Madonna Infinity's Most Favorite Madonna Single: And The WINNER is.....
.....drum rolls please..... VOGUE!!!!! Wow, I thought for sure "Like A Prayer" or "Hung Up" would have won. Maybe at another given day and time, they would have. Though for now the winner is VOGUE!! We must be in the mood to dance. Not sure, but, here's how the top Decade winners placed with their numbers....
Vogue - 1st Place with 48.89% of the vote
Like A Prayer - 2nd Place with 33.33% of the vote
Hung Up - 3rd Place with 13.33% of the vote
Ghosttown - 4th Place with 4.44% of the vote
So, for fun, let's review all of the Decade Winners again including the songs that tied. Question: Would this make a good set list for an upcoming Greatest Hits Tour...and would you be ok with it? More questions: If this were a Set List for a Greatest Hits Tour, how would you modify it? Also, if you were to add any songs to make it more appealing to you, which songs would you add? Are there enough ballads?
80's:
La Isla Bonita
Like A Prayer
Into The Groove
Express Yourself
Open Your Heart
90's:
Vogue
Frozen
Ray Of Light
Erotica
Deeper and Deeper
2000-2010:
Music Don't Tell Me
Die Another Day
Jump
Celebration
Hung Up
Get Together
Sorry
2010-2020:
Girl Gone Wild
Masterpiece
Ghosttown
I Don't Search I Find
Living For Love
Crave
I would love this for a Greatest Hits Set List. If I were to add a few more songs or somehow mix them in, I'd add; Messiah, Joan Of Arc, Beautiful Killer, I'll Remember, and Nothing Really Matters.
Thanks again for all your comments and votes!!!! You are all a blast!!!

IamZod got a reaction from aprilshack in Madame X Tour Merchandise
The only good thing about the VIP book being sold on her store is it will at least stop the greedy twats who are selling it at inflated prices from being able to get away with it.
