Game: + and - of Madonna Songs

[InfinityWithin 278]

Express Yourself (Shep's Spressin' Himself Re-Remix)

 

Positive: Quite experimental, nice (almost) acapella parts, probably great on a dancefloor

Negative: A bit messy, too long, and there are some noise effects that are a disturbing

 

Next: Erotica (Madonna's In My Jeep Mix)

[mr00mister 902]

(let's go back to album versions please)

[survivalartist 6,745]

Erotica (Madonna's In My Jeep Mix)

 

Positive: Chunky, funky drums add a nice bump and make Erotica more of a fun club/dance song than something to fuck to.

Negative: Sounds like a few other official Erotica remixes with different names and relatively tame differences. 

 

Next: Bitch I'm Madonna (Demo Mix)

[MeantToBeIconic 999]

Erotica (Madonna's In My Jeep Mix)

 

Positive: Chunky, funky drums add a nice bump and make Erotica more of a fun club/dance song than something to fuck to.

Negative: Sounds like a few other official Erotica remixes with different names and relatively tame differences. 

 

Next: Bitch I'm Madonna (Demo Mix)

 

Which demo? The solo version or the "I Just Wanna Beat" one?

[survivalartist 6,745]

That is a great question that I am unable to answer.

 

Next: Waiting 

[MeantToBeIconic 999]

Waiting

 

Positive: I love the funky horns and beats. Plus, it created the surprisingly good "Did You Do It?"

 

Negative: Eh, the chorus. Nothing all that great, y'know?

 

 

Next: Justify My Love (MDNA Tour Interlude)

[Jorick 1,497]

Justify My Love /MDNA remix+ Great mix, great new video.Love the haunting feeling that the remix [and the original version] have. - I wish it had the full lyrics and the remix is too short.Next up: Bedtime story /RIT interlude

[madgefan 10,237]

Bedtime Story RIT,

 

Positive: Good version based on the Orbital mix released in 1995.

Negative: Never released officially in any form.

 

Next, Sugar Honeybunch

 

[Jorick 1,497]

Suger Pie/Honey Bunch + Blends in great with LAV, i like this performance. Vocaly mwha.... I don't know. There is better. - skirt hoola-hooping, seriously!! 😀

[Jorick 1,497]

Next up: Die Another Day / Original version

[MXRXNCHX 1,133]

Die Another Day

 

Positive: The instrumental it's awesome! The break with the claps and the laughing it's epic

 

Negative: The song was bashed af. It was nominated for a Razzie, not fair

 

 

Next is Till Death Do Us Apart

[mr00mister 902]

Till Death Do Us Apart

 

positive: again, we have a happy melody with sad and honest lyrics. ironically, it's a pretty danceable tune.

negative: it would have been an amazing single. also, sometimes I feel it's a little too long.

 

next song: X-Static Process

[Jorick 1,497]

X-static process + with a title like this i expected something else. I was plesantly surprised. Beautiful lyrics, Beautiful arrangement. - Should have been a single. Next up: I'll Remember

[MXRXNCHX 1,133]

I'll Remember

 

 

Positive: The beat and the lyrics are pretty awesome. The official remixes are cool, also

 

Negative: Even if it was a commercial success, I think it is kinda underrated

 

 

Next is The Power Of Goodbye (will anyone complain about the official remixes?)

[Winn 2,358]

Power of Goodbye

 

Positive: Gorgeous green hue video, M looks fabulous. Haunting technoey bleeps that help to define the overall essence of Ray Of Light album. I also love that live performance with her vocals, "Do you wanna go higherrrrr." She gets a lot of flack for that performance but it was pure Madonna to me. And those dresses with that long hair. Stunning. One of my favorite tracks from the album.

 

Negative: Yeah. Those remixes. I've never used them once in a Madonna mix and I've used some bad remixes in my time. Lord knows I've tried but they are absolutely without a doubt unusable.

 

 

Next: Don't Stop

[Jorick 1,497]

Don't Stop + Actually love the laid back vibe of this one. Love the 70ties feeling.- The lyrics, seriously; sing la di da dee......Next up: Deeper and Deeper / RIT version

[mikenmark 433]

Deeper and deeper

 

Positive: has shown that it can be a ballad, a dance track or a banging club mix (or indeed a big band RIT version)

Negative: "when you know the notes to sing, you can sing 'most anything." Need i say more...

 

Next up I'm addicted (MDNA)

[InfinityWithin 278]

I'm Addicted

 

Positive: Everything (!!!) about it, except...

Negative: "I need to dance" *cringe*

 

Next: White Heat

[MeantToBeIconic 999]

White Heat

 

Positive: This is actually my favorite non-single from True Blue. I LIVE for that chorus, yes gawd.

 

Negative: I hate how in the very beginning the crook's voice is panned to the right. I always get scared that one of my earbuds blew out for a second.

 

 

Next: Runaway Lover

[survivalartist 6,745]

Runaway Lover

Positive: The lyrics! A fair warning indeed from the hunter to other hunters. 

Negative: The production. Although I love Orbit and Madonna this one was phoned in. 

 

Next: Set The Right

[madgefan 10,237]

Set the Right,

 

Positive: Nice demo with meaningful lyrics, like most of the AL demos out there.

Negative: It could have been a great b-side, oh well.

 

Next,

 

Deeper and Deeper (RIT version)

[MeantToBeIconic 999]

Deeper & Deeper (RIT Version)

 

Positive: I love the rework. I love my tour versions to be crazy different, so it gets a +1 from me.

 

Negative: It was only, what, 4 minutes long? I need at least 5 and half minutes of that sweet sweet D&D.

 

 

Next: Drowned World/Substitute For Love

[Winn 2,358]

Drowned World/Substitute For Love

 

Positive: Gorgeous vocals, nice lyrics, lush sound. I love this song. Sorry I bring up remixes all the time but that's how I listen to Madonna and remix for this (BT & Sasha's BuckLodge) is a mix I still spin to this day. Clean stomping kick and nice play with her vocals. An outstanding Madonna song in every way.

 

Negative: Probably her weakest intro of her tours, though I do love me some Drowned World Tour, don't get me wrong. Being the least of a group full of masterpieces is hardly "negative."

 

Next: Give It 2 Me

[MXRXNCHX 1,133]

Give It 2 MePositive: To this very day, it sounds like if was released a few months ago. It's very clubby and great for working out.Negative: The single cover (that's just me), I think it's very underrated (on Billboard Hot 100 its peak was 57, WTF!!!) and everyone complains about the ''get stupid'' break. Next we have You'll See*don't let this topic die*

[madgefan 10,237]

You'll See

 

Positive: AMAZING vocals, she got it right! Like a Whitney and a Céline lol

Negative: It got performed only twice, on the UK Top of the pops (playback though) and on a few US DWT stops. Wish she perfomed this again!!!

 

Next, Like a Prayer at the BAT
