Glad she's home recovering now.

Cherish is the one song from THE IMMACULATE that Madonna has completely disregarded since it's release. I think she herself would probably chose to replace it. Likely with Burning Up. 
It really is the prefect collection. It was THE go to album in the 90's people used to put on before they went out so I think Dress You Up would have fit perfectly for that reason. It keeps the party going and the Like A Virgin album is the only studio album to have two tracks instead of three, or four in True Blue's case. 
The truth is that pretty much any track from the era could have made it really and it would feel like it belonged.
I think the metric is if you removed a track and added something else which would be missed more and in hat respect they got it perfectly right. Everybody & Burning Up sounded like prototype Madonna and didn't have the sheen of Holiday, Lucky Star & Borderline.
True Blue was never getting a slot after Sean (also see Causing A Commotion which I'm certain was about their marriage), and Gambler, The Look Of Love, Dear Jessie, Oh Father & Keep It Together were regional. You couldn't have a regional single on something as ostentatiously called The Immaculate collection. 
So it was between Angel, Dress You Up, Who's That Girl and Hanky Panky.
She loathed the Who's That Girl era for personal reasons and coming after La Isa I think only one latin flavour would have been picked. Dress You Up is the clear winner for me. 

While "Who's That Girl" is cute and deserved a place on the compilation, "Live To Tell" is far superior in every way. And True Blue is her biggest selling album with 5 Top 5 hits, it's only fair it's extensively represented (we're already missing "True Blue" the song here). 

I’m surprised by all the calls for WTG to replace Cherish.
WTG is a rewrite of LIB so having them both on there seems redundant. 
Cherish isn’t a song I care much for but the IC mix is the one I find most tolerable, so I say leave it.
Upon release I vaguely remember being annoyed w/some of the edits more than the remixed tracks. I learned to love the whole thing though, flaws and all. It all works. 

I wouldn't replace anything. Probally more edited versions of the songs and I would add Dress you up and Who's that Girl

Glad she's home recovering now.

Yeah but that’s the key difference: we’re not her family. They don’t owe everyone a full report and chronology of what happened.
She’ll talk about it in time if she wants to.

Let's all take a very big deep breath - hold it - and release slowly.
She's home, recovering - that's all that matters right now. Opinions on how she got here or otherwise are no longer helpful.
It happened - she's now recovering - let's focus on that and moving forward with her.

I wouldn’t replace anything on it but I think it would have been cool to have these 4 released as “The Royal Box" or as b-sides to the 4 singles released (JML, CFY, H, RM):
Dress You Up - Q-Sound Mix
True Blue - Q-Sound Mix
Who's That Girl - Q-Sound Mix
Causing a Commotion - Q-Sound Mix
 
 

I do miss both DYU and WTG, but I can see how all the other songs are superiour, so no swap is needed.
Apart from the unfortunate inclusions of the remixes of LAP and EY (the single edits are way way better) there is ONE HUGE FLAW with the IC that I still can't get over (almost 30 years later lol) and that is the horrible remix of ITG, sure the intro is dramatic and fierce, the mix is ok, but Shape ommitted the middle 8 not once but twice! the song lasts longer than it's original version so there really is no reason why it's not there other than that they really loved this super bland piano solo instead of "live out your fantasy here with me..." it is what makes the song great!
Same thing is done to Borderline and Lucky star, though with less dramatic outcome, but they both miss their defining adlips near the end, again they are there in the original single edits, so they're not cut because of time constraints, and therefor unforgivable haha!

I just want to see the correct version of Holiday on the first album, the mixes of Lucky Star and Borderline on The Immaculate Collection restored and Dress You Up on Celebration corrected. I'll live with the rest.
Cleaning up the album releases and singles so everything is order would be a bare minimum job and wouldn't hurt also

Maybe a video treatment was completed like they were going to film it. I'm almost certain it doesn't exist.

Dannii and Kylie went to the Reinvention Tour

The way they need to merge so many songs (correctly) so that her streaming numbers actually work out.

July 7 we get the Hollywood single so hyped!

Yeah the one time a download card would be been great we don’t get one 😒

That's probably what it was! I hope it happens! A download card would've been nice with it.

I thought the Musical direction on Sticky & Sweet was really good and worked really well for that era and tour. Unfortunately the quality wasn't kept. I felt like Antunes declined after.

My changes would be the track list (Including some unreleased stuff from Ray of Light & Music) & the title  
MADONNA: THE SECOND COMING - Greatest Hits 1992 / 2001
Track List
Music Ray Of Light Beautiful Stranger Erotica Secret Don't Tell Me Deeper And Deeper Human Nature You'll See Don't Cry For Me Argentina Revenge (unreleased from the Ray of Light sessions) This Used To Be My Playground Frozen Drowned World / Substitute For Love What It Feels Like For a Girl Nothing Really Matters Little Girl (La Petite Jeune Fille) (unreleased from the Music sessions) Rain I'll Remember Bedtime Story The Power Of Goodbye Take a Bow

I have to agree, songs she hasn't performed in a long time like Causing A Commotion, Rain, Nothing Really Matters, Get Together - the list goes on! I would hate her amazing discography to not be heard.
