what’s your memories with this song? ?
 

Spanish Eyes without doubt!
Nothing Really Matters or Beatiful Stranger?

How gorgeous does she look?:

I don’t think you are racist. I think it was a good post to discuss and think about....especially being she listens to a lot of rap and all kinds of music we may or may not like. ...and you never know what might inspire her. Anyway, thanks for starting this post. And Hang in there. Xxx

My goodness people are so over the top nowadays... relax i have just said they always listen to the same kind of boring rap music... it's like i have insulted i don't know who and i am the worst racist on earth and i don't what else crazyness... i really miss the pre social medias era where you could discuss with people without being immediately labelled as racist or bullyer or sexual abuser... i have insulted no one for god sake ! Literally i have just said they are always listening the the same kind of boring rap (implying there is much better rap out there imo) nothing more ! Good lord everything is taking so much crazy proportions nowadays.... i will not even post on that topic anymore, this is becoming surreal... close the topic, keep on insulting me of racist (if people knew who i am and my history they will lnow how ridiculous it is, but i don't even feel the need to justify myself...), delete the thread, do what you want, really i will not even go on, it is useless. Sometimes it's more intelligent to just not answer anymore...

Drowned World
Gambler or Burning Up?

The thing in that situation is that he's not just a boyfriend, i will even go as far as saying the fact he was her boyfriend is a detail for people. She was not talking about just an ex boyfriend, she was talking about a producer who had a huge impact on her glory days in the 80's. Can you imagine, just for a second, that you are John Benitez, and Madonna comes on tv, millions of people watching the show, they show a picture of you and all she has to say is "oh no, he's just a shitty ex boyfriend". Can imagine the lack of respect, or consideration it can feels for him or anyone who knows who he is ? Cause most of people (the grand public, non Madonna fans) don't have a clue who he is, so when they had a chance to know he is the guy who produced iconic tracks like Holiday or Material girl, tracks they've been singing and dancing to for almost 40 years, she just insult him and do not even take one second to say he is the producers of her early worldide hits. Reallt there are excuses for that attitude. I love Madonna more than anyone can imagine, but that time she fucked up big time for me.

I mean the guy even owns unreleased Madonna tracks (like "Work your finger to the bone) and he never tried to make money with it like some other have done (pre-Madonna for example). I once had the opportunity to talk with him and he is such a nice guy... 

Thanks for your kind words. I’m shocked she’d say that about him too. 

Thank you so much for this thread... i had plans to make one similar one of these days... People don't seem to realise how much the guy is responsible for the Madonna sound of the 80's... He has basically produced or remixed her best 80's tracks from 1983 to 1986. He is a real sweet and nice guy in real life. He has never ever bad mouthed Madonna or wrote a book and tried to get money... Yet last year on Graham Norton when they showed her a picture of him she asked them to take off the pic and called him "Just a shitty ex boyfriend". I was in a shock. From a woman who always tell us to act with respect and who praise peace among human beings i found her behaviour so disrespectful... and calling him "Just a shitty ex boyfriend" when he was the person who produced all the hits of the beginning of her career was so reductive. This is the first time her behaviour really hurted me...

Into the Groove (the best dance song she did in my opinion)
Holiday
Deeper and Deeper
Vogue
Everybody
Bitch I'm Madonna
Girl Gone Wild
Bitch I'm Loca
Ray Of Light
Where's Party
Hung Up

As you know, Jellybean did a lot of work and mixes for Madonna early in her career. I was just taking a look at Wiki. It's amazing all the work he's done for other artists too. Is it me, sometimes it doesn't seem like he gets enough credit for what he’s done? So, from  these Madonna songs below that he remixed and/or gave, helped with, etc., which are your favorite....and do you have other knowledge or insight on him? I love them all except for "Borderline" and "Like A Virgin" (except for her tour performances of it). "Holiday" would be my very favorite. I also love "Burning Up". I know Madonna didn't sing on Sidewalk Talk(even though it sounds like her), but, she wrote it for him and I loveeee it too. I would love to see them do something again after all of these years.
 "Borderline"
 "Burning Up"
 "Dress You Up"
 "Gambler"
 "Holiday"
 "Like a Virgin"
 "Lucky Star"
 "Material Girl"
 "Physical Attraction"
"Spotlight"

I think they should start organizing the spotify catalogue at least, put the original albums, not the reisues, there are songs in his 12' remix version instead of the original, like dress you up, the cover of "madonna" has a black stain in M's nose, Pray for Spanish Eyes has a glitch at the beggining, etc, Madonna doesn't deserve this

To me, she actually looks like Madonna atm

This is something that needs to be worked on. Fans complain about it, as well as the remastering of her videos on YouTube, but it all does matter at the end of the day!

I mean, have you guys seen her digital catalogue on Spotify or iTunes? It's complelety unorganized and incomplete compared to other pop legends like Kylie or Cher.  

One of the things that really bother me about Madonna and her management is their disrespect towards Madonna’s legacy. So much of Madonna’s past work is abandoned. There’s no cohesive effort to constantly emphasize on her as an artist and her name, and that is probably one of the reasons why she might be less popular now than she used to be and not as often mentioned as Michael Jackson for example, because for an artist that has literally created the blueprint for touring, theatrical music videos and meaningful, provocative albums and “appearances”, she and her management are always silent about her music and her previous works as a whole and even her name, her presence as a celebrity, unless there’s something new to sell.
When a new single drops, social media will feature posts, banners and new profile pics, her website will have some slight new redesigns, her app (which is a disaster), her fan club..etc. they do get updated but then once a week or two have passed on the era, they’re done and you’re left with this same theme for the next 3-4 years.
There’s no emphasis on past hits, no anniversary releases, no merchandise celebrating past eras and not even any future tours that feature songs from recent albums. Her last 5 eras had songs that only got performed on their own tours and never mentioned again, no small show appearances unless there’s a new record coming, no interviews, no magazine photoshoots, and when the miracle happens it’s either a cheap magazine or some foreign branch of a big one or a mediocre photoshoot or outfits, she also doesn’t give much attention or care for what she wears or the quality of her posts on social media.
Many artists have made each post on Instagram feel like a curated work of art or a professional new photoshoot. All these have a major impact to an artist’s image and how interesting they look to the public..etc.
Many artists, many of whom are indie with a fraction of Madonna’s budget or popularity, release beautifully packaged and designed color vinyls, box sets, great merchandise with original and very unique designs, even the clothes they sell feel like genuinely well-made and well designed pieces that you’d like to buy even without the artist’s name on them, but for somE reason, they only celebrate Madonna’s legacy with a tweet if we’re lucky or some random website releases a limited low effort re-release of an old record, or some cheaply made, badly designed yet over-priced apparel or objects are made.
Everything feels low effort, low budget and uninspired, like she and her label don’t even have a heart in it anymore. Don’t get me started about how terribly designed single artworks are and how this trend for bad photoshop is even affect her album artwork. Images are shot low quality or when edited, given high contrast to cover the details instead of proper airbrushing which ends up looking really cheap. The logo on her sewn mouth on the standard edition, what is that??? A drop shadow effect??? I wouldn’t do this to a selfie and I’m not even a celebrity or anything.
The website design is a disaster, the fan club is dated and clunky, the app had me spend 8 months emailing back and forth with the team to fix a login issue to no avail, not to mention outdated and hardly has anything interesting or extensive, only bits of info and a bad design and it crashes often or doesn’t feel stable even on the latest iPhone. Doesn’t she like to have a source of knowledge about her that matches her image? A comprehensive source of photography and info about her entire career? I get the excuse that she likes to look forward, but it’s not like she’s going to burn anniversary discs on her computer by herself or even design her own website by her hands. You can do both things especially when she has 3-4 year gaps between eras where she’s not doing anything and her team could be handling the legacy stuff.
Singles are released with minimum effort. There’s always a deal like Super Bowl or Eurovision or Grammys for the lead single and beyond that? It’s complete silence. They say she spent $5m on the Billboard performance. That money would’ve been much better spent on a visual album or more performances for the other singles or a better iTunes marketing deal like Beyoncé had the whole iTunes Store covered with her albums when she launched her self titled visual album or hell been a payola deal that everyone does these days. But no, you have one single and then a tour and now even the tour was plagued with cancellations, tardiness, embarrassing moments not to mention the lack of filming which would’ve been free promo for her. Everything felt so silent and the era was dead after Eurovision, not to mention she sang a promo single, a weird excerpt of an album track and a 30 year old hit on her biggest ever promo opportunity instead of some actual single... 
Whether it’s longtime hardcore fans you’re after or new audiences, these things have a huge impact on maintaining an artist’s image. Her legacy matters and when a label emphasizes on that gold mine she has, they can always help keep her relevant instead of looking for the next rapper or sexy young talent to sing a mediocre song with and blame its underperformance on sexism and ageism. Bowie passed away but they find any excuse to release some anniversary edition or collector’s box for him every few weeks. Metallica does the same and they made two albums for MJ after his death lol.
Madonna is no less important and if she’s not as relevant, it’s not only because of ageism and sexism but also because of lack of intelligence in marketing her and maintaining her image. The decision-making process behind her releases and managing her appearance, image and legacy is really cringeworthy at this point and it doesn’t match the value and the status of someone like Madonna whose work made peopke easily define music as “before and after Madonna”.
Can we celebrate 8 years Girl Gone Wild with a vinyl? 5 years of Ghosttown with another vinyl or a piece of merch from set? Ray of Light with a box set? Confessions Tour? How about re-releasing those Celebration and Royal Box sets that we can actually get from her store instead of paying hundreds to eBay scalpers? Or a restock of MDNA, Celebration and Hard Candy vinyls that are now out of stock and selling for $200-$500? I’d rather that money go to her than anyone else.
Hell, even release the SEX book with new packaging or past tours on 4K Blu-Ray like thousands of movies that aren’t even true 4K being released in a better upscaling with AI Machine learning techniques, and past music videos that are still in SD.
They’re not even sending singles to radios anywhere but US, UK, Italy and few other places (to my knowledge), why? They’re underestimating her and their scope and planning for her career is so limited and they aren’t looking at how her legacy can be a huge investment. She doesn’t have to be dead for them to celebrate her...

3. Do you listen M's music everyday of the weekend? ¿just the half of the week?, ¿hardly ever? Sometimes I don’t listen to her for a couple of weeks and then suddenly I listen to constantly for a whole week. 
4. Which decade of her carrer do you consider the most interesting or the one you like the most? The 90s without a doubt. For me she didn’t do anything wrong from 1989 to 2001. Those 12 years were her truly immaculate years for me.
5. Name your favourite album: Music
6. Name your favourite tour: The Blond Ambition Tour
7. Favourite ballad: I’ll Remember
8. Favourite album cover: Ray Of Light

10. Do you think Madonna will make a new tour?, when? Yes I think she will. My guess is in 2023.
11. Apart from Madonna, are you a fan of any other artist / band? 
I love many other artists. As a pre-teen I loved Michael Jackson more than anything in the world. I still love him today but I’m also very much into Janet, Whitney, Britney, Björk, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Ariana, Mariah, Justin Timberlake, Radiohead, Beck, Sufjan Stevens, Daft Punk, PJ Harvey, Billie Eilish and many more. But Madonna will always be my number one. 
12. How do you want Madonna's next album to be? I want it to be short and tight. Max. 12 songs, preferrably only 10 and with a tight and clear concept when it comes to visuals and musical style. Kind of the opposite to Rebel Heart and Madame X even though I love them both despite of their flaws and chaotic structure. It would just fit her to do something short and sweet now.
