    @Prayer here's the Fraternity Vacation OST:

    And most interesting...
      When she's not even credited on film (only Reggie was).
    Seems all that time Reggie just pitched her voice on the version used on film to make sound she wasn't singing it but anyone else.
    But, as you said, business is business.
    Btw, this pitched version featured on film is nowhere to be found on YouTube, I do wonder why.
     Check out yourself.

    I'd actually be surprised if the retrospective deal with Warner, The Biopic and the greatest hits tour being the first time she's actually allowed herself to look back and then her nearly dying a few weeks before launch night hasn't totally spooked her. Like she was tempting  fate.
    MJ was just about to embark on his final ever tour.
    Prince was writing his Biography and the first Deluxe of any of his albums in Purple Rain.
    George Michael was just finishing his documentary Freedom about his life and wrapping up the Deluxe for Listen a few months before they all died. 
    Mama was probably like..." do not tempt the gods"

    If i'm not mistaken, it was for this scene:

    But she freaked out and deemed it unsafe, so they had to find a work around to simulate the "falling" 
    I believe it's mentioned in the FUSE special.

    She had totally scrapped everything from that whole shoot. We've got some pictures when M's pictures hard drives have been hacked back then and we've got tons of outtakes leaking (remember when that guy has been arrested by the police), otherwise we would not even know that shoot has happen. If she has ditched the pictures make sense she would have also ditched the video. I'm talking about this shoot :

    Keep in mind that at that very time she has scrapped a whole chapter of visual works including several sets of shoots : 

    If you look closely, the tread mill shoot is a total different shoot, curly hair, different set etc... It was made for the shooting of the "Give it 2 me" video which, at that time, was still the album title. For the people who were around at that time, remember the first low quality snippets that leaked from "Give it 2 me" ? I'm the person who has leaked them (hope the police won't arrest me now 😂), Here's the story ;
    At that time i was moderating the DrownedMadonna forum (Madonna Fanzine forum). My nickname was Preston and i had that pic with the giant boombox for those who remember ahah. So, there was that israeli girl, Anna Hendstridge (i'm talking about the real one, not the fakes clones that appeared on other forums later). She was totally working inside M creative circle. She was giving exact and precise clues about music, videos, shooting several weeks before they would happen. I'm talking about real info, this could be the exact lyrics of a line of the "Celebration" track when no one knew she had recorded a new track for the best off, she would describe the exact jewellery M would wear on the cover of her new album etc etc... She also told us about the track "Latte" and that was YEARS before it leaked. That was some serious shit. To this day, she remains the best insider that has ever been on the Madonna community. She also told us early on the process that M had record early versions of Give it 2 me, like one called "Infinity" and describing the precise sound of the demo. When the "Infinity" demo leaked years later, she was, as usual excatly spot on. Anna is the one who told us about a first video for "Give it 2 me" being shot during a shoot where M was on a tread mill and wearing blue sweat pants. At that time the unreleased shoot hadn't leaked. A couple of years later, the unreleased pics leaked and indeed there was a shoot where M was on a tread mill wearing blue sweat pants. Now about the first Give it 2 me snippets, i had been given by Anna Hendstridge herself. She told me precise indications as to how to leak them, one by one etc... She told me they have been recorded on a phone during that video shoot. (I precise that was way before M shot the Give it 2 me video we all know dlrected by Tom Munro). I will never in my whole life doubt anything that girl told, everything she said was precisely spot on. Now for those who were not around at that time i can understand you can be doubtful and it's only natural, but those who were on Fanzine at that time know what i'm talking about. She wasn't posting much, but when she was, believe me, it was something. We would spy her every move on the forum, every single world she could post 😂 That was something...
    You must keep in mind that the Hard Candy schedule, especially we M got close to the release, was not the classic process. Many changes of directions visually, change of title, changes on the face lol. All that at the end of the process ! The album was to be called Give it 2 me, she has made several photoshoots, then she scrapps everything, all the photoshoots ( supposedly cause she hates the way she looks, and it's true that the styling makes her look wash out and she made her new round of bigger cheeks just after that) she changed the title of the album, pick just a few pics for the promo (she didn't have enough time left to make new shoots, so she picked like two or three pics for "Dazed and confused" and "Interview" Magazines. Scrapps the Give it 2 me title (and the music video of the same title) and comes with the title (Hard Candy). Until the end, it was all last minutes changes. There was also the "Black Madonna" theme that was scrapped (shoots have been made too) but that was earlier in the process.
    Ps : for those interested, that girl Anna Hendstridge also revealed back then, that three different versions of the track "Give it 2 me" do exist, one is the released one, another one called "Infinity" that have leaked since then, and another one called "Get pumped" (still unleaked to this day).
    She has totally diseappeared after the Celebration best of release. At that time the forum also closed. By the end, a few people, probably jealous or angry started attacking her, trying to prove she wasn't a girl and that she lied on her personnal life (not being a girl, not living where she said she lived etc...). They couldn't attack her on her info cause everything was spot on so they've found something else. Later there have been fake 'Anna Hendstidge" accounts being made on various forums like PopJustice etc but they were fake and so posting fake info... Some people still confuse her with these fake accounts to this day. The one and only real was posting on DrownedMadonna/Madonnafanzine forum around 2007-2008.

    I know from a reliable source that an unreleased video for "Give it 2 me" has been shot. The unreleased pictures that leaked of M with the blue pants on the treadmill are supposed to come from the set of the video. She probably didn't like the way she looked cause she also never released the pictures from that shooting (just one for the cover of Interview Magazine on the Boxing ring but she was wearing a different outfit).

    There are no unreleased videos - alternate versions / early edits of released videos would or do exist
    RE: Holiday, the decision was made to record a video for Burning Up instead (6 months after it's release) as MTV was mainly promoting rock videos at the time. M confirms no video for Holiday in her April 1984 Australian interview with Molly Meldrum in an outtake.

    The swimming pool scene wasn't from the Like a Prayer music video, it was from one of three Pepsi commercials that was shot, but remain unreleased after what happened with the first commercial that aired.

    tomasjohn reacted to stefo in I want you (early vox acoustic fanmade mix)   
    This afternoon in an old hard disk I found this weird but nice version of "I want you", a track I really worshiped, especially in my adolescence years (still mad she created a live performance of this, singing on the piano, for the DWT and then chose to cut it off, it would have been perfection!)  Anyway, I made this mix with the stems, when they came out I don't remember how many years ago, and I enjoyed listening to this today, especially for the early vocals  and the soft acoustic  arrangement wich went out just using the strings, bass, guitar and piano lines with some effects. I don't know if it can be any good for anybody here but, in case, enjoy it

    Well, in regards to TS, she is correct. Courtney has been correct a lot of the times. She taught us about Harvey, and she introduced and named “trolls” online, and was the first person to get sued from a Tweet — Courtney is Brilliant. She is her own enemy tho.

    I bet that KTU version of Shanti/Ashtangi is in there somewhere, that’s an example of a version that is almost the same but with little alterations and added stuff but still something I’d love to have in good quality vs a classic radio rip.

    tomasjohn reacted to Roland Barthes in Mirwais will release a book about Madonna & him   
    He's actually promoting the first tome of a trilogy about his work. Now it's about Taxi Girl, his first band. The second tome will be about himself and the third one about Madonna. No trash talk there, when asked about her during the promo he's always praising her, when reminded he said she drove him crazy during the recording of Confessions so he left, he was quick to say that he was the one having a meltdown and  needed mental help then  but she treated him the best one could considering his breakdown. He alsi added that people have the wrong impression of her and they would be surprised to know how real and funny she is and he wants to get the record straight. It will also be about the music business.
    And he does not know about his new album. Sorry Kylie fans, and to torture you even more, he said he has two tracks with her but does not know if they are gonna be released since he may record totally new stuff. The reason why he does not release stuff is because he believes streaming fucks the artists, the Madonna tome will be about this too.

    Didn't she say the video for Rescue Me was made up of the  Caio Italia footage because she felt it was a time in her life where she felt she needed rescuing? Anyways Either way the songs are fun and The Look Of Love is actually her most overlooked 80's single. It really was a window in to her work on Like A Prayer. It has the same DNA as Oh Father / Spanish Eyes and would not have sounded out of place on that album at all. Perfect after Til Death Do Us Part.

    Who’s That Girl was very much Madonna at her lowest point when her marriage was not going well and the relationship, which only lasted two years and she filed for divorce Dec 87 a few days after The Look Of Love was released. The marriage was in its baron wasteland. She withdrew and tried for another year in 88 while her career was sorta on hold and the divorce went through early 89 before Like A Prayer. The whole era probably feels too painful. Causing A Commotion has always been about her relationship with Sean.
