Husam Elzien got a reaction from NowRadiate in Rumor : New album / Update page 23
She could but then it would be seen as repeating herself a la Confessions especially if it ended up taking a similar sound. Also, depending on when she would release this disco album, it could also be seen as Madonna trying to play catch up with the other girls who put out disco-inspired albums this year. I mean best case scenario, everyone loves it. Worst case... the album single handedly overwhelms the disco upswing and kills the disco revival making every one else's disco album age horribly for a while.

Low-key the one good thing to come from that song was that the messy rollout for the single botched the rest of the era so much that it forced Madonna to do away with her "I'm not doing the older hits anymore" philosophy for touring.

Husam Elzien reacted to steady75 in Candy Shop? Not again. But how often?
Everytime a fan endorses her trolling of us with Candy Shop live, a gay man loses his ability to walk quicker than heterosexuals. Just think about what you’re doing here folks.

Husam Elzien got a reaction from Voguerista in Lo Que Siente La Mujer Drowned World Tour Performance
Madonna cut it from the setlist because she didn't want the song to be a single because it sounded too similar to Beautiful Stranger but Warner Bros did and were ready to bypass Madonna by using a filmed performance from the tour as the video so she cut it to prevent them from doing that.

I swear to GOD, if she goes back to her Aldo Diaz days AND is being a little troll to the fans, I'm gonna buy 864512 copies of Chromatica

Husam Elzien got a reaction from NowRadiate in Kevin Antunes destroyed Madonna's reputation as a Live Act.
Yeah I love Janet too but some of those costumes were a choice. Also, Janet gained some weight so that might be why she chooses baggier clothing and why the dancing seems off. When she first toured after the baby, she went hard to lose the weight and she looked great, the costumes were nice and choreography looked amazing. Also speaking on the subject of singers replacing people. Janet needs a new creative director for her shows or at least someone to convince her its okay to not do all the hits in one show because I'm done with the medleys.

Husam Elzien got a reaction from Velvet Rope in Kevin Antunes destroyed Madonna's reputation as a Live Act.
This! The cancellations for Madame X can be forgiven considering she was going through a lot of knee problems and was still trying to do as many shows as she could. Also, here's the thing, everyone wants to blame Kevin but Madonna is the one who gets final approval for anything before it goes on stage so it's more her fault than his, he's just doing his job. I want her to ditch the drum beats/808's and bring back the live band. I saw a video of a private performance she did, and Express Yourself was in the set and it sounded so lifeless and it lacked fullness because it was using a weaker drum beat, and before anyone says anything, I know the original Bray Mix and the Shep Pettibone Mix probably used drum machines but those drums were fuller and augmented the song. I understand that she wants to update her songs to make them sound modern but some of it has crossed the line from updating the sound to cheapening it.

I think it sounds perfect just as it is. I mean it could be worse, Britney used to just pop the CD into the player and go for it.

Husam Elzien reacted to luluthecat in Teasing the Immacluate Collection related suprises
Because I don't have a CD player or a disc drive, or an iPod, neither do I like using up memory on my hardware, it's loads of faff, streaming is just how I and nearly everyone on earth listens to music now. Also she's Madonna and her back catalog should treated like (digital) gold dust and accessible to everyone!!

I would add American Life to this list but it essentially began the downturn of Madonna's career commercially speaking.

Oh...my bad darling I forgot that POSE was a show ?. Madonna would actually be (*cough *cough) amazing as someone bitchy. She would be playing herself.
All she ever said to me that I was shorter than she was. That cold bitch! I got no razzies because I can act. SHE cannot!

call me crazy but I love her WTG-YCD voice

Husam Elzien got a reaction from NowRadiate in Unpopular Madonna Opinions
I feel like she brings out the hits if the album cycle doesn't go as she planned it. Like American Life didn't go down well so Re-Invention was full of hits. Rebel Heart was marred by leaks and the BRIT fall so she brought out the hits on the tour.
I also think she's singing with the grills on in the recording studio and she needs to stop because it makes her vocals robotic and then on top of that she adds vocal effects.
Can Madonna just do another straight forward dance pop album? I don't think anyone will fault her.

If Liz Rosenberg was never in the picture is this the Madonna we would've been seeing? I know comments like these annoy people but it's been on my mind...on a side note I think of Liz as her 2nd mom

I like I'm Going to Tell You a Secret because Madonna was more likeable and approachable in it. Madonna in Truth or Dare just seemed insufferable and you couldn't relate to her.
