Game: + and - of Madonna Songs

[mikenmark 433]

Take a day

 

Positives: love the happy vibe, kinda reminds me of an Idaho mix of revolver. 

 

Negatives: bit too much bang.  Why you so nasty?

 

next: like a flower

[mr00mister 902]

Like A Flower

 

+ that glorious D# chord on the chorus! it gets me every single time! the atmosphere behind the song, the instruments slowly fading out leaving just the acoustic guitar, M's vocal performance, the drum sequence, everything!

 

- being a little more objective, it lacks the quality of the rest of the Ray Of Light tracks. and Laura Pausini's version doesn't make it any justice (it literally changed the theme of the song from "i know it's over but i will remember the good things" to "please don't go i'm nothing without you" which is the complete opposite).

 

next song: Dance 2night.

[Stevo 6,452]

Like A flower:Pos: has a nice ambient feel. Like the guitar.Neg: as it's a demo, it sounds "incomplete" slightly. Only a slight negative and of course I know it would have sounded better if it had made it onto the album.Next song: I Know It?

[Stevo 6,452]

Oops, I walked off mid-post to get a drink so by time i posted, another post got done before mine. Ignore my last post and use mr00mister's song instead ☺I'd of deleted mine but I could only see how to modify a post, not delete it.

[Stevo 6,452]

Sorry this is a mess lol, I should have just edited my post to rate dance2night. Dance2night:Pos: like the overall funk sound of the song. Neg: only minor but I think the tempo is a bit slow and ploddy, if that makes sense? Next song: I Know it

[voguemadonna 656]

I Know It

 

Positive: This song is definitely very 80s pop and I think Madonna sounds pretty good in it

Negative: It hasn't aged very well

 

Next: Back In Business

[survivalartist 6,745]

Back In Business 

 

+ An attempt to blend the jazzy 40s/50s sound of the film with the modern sound. 

- "This ain't no hit and miss" - I beg to disagree. This is the one that would get a skip within the first 5 seconds in the days of the CD.

 

Next: Did You Do It?

[MeantToBeIconic 999]

I've been so busy with my countdown, I forgot to play my game!

 

Did You Do It?

 

Positive: I love the remixy rapping over the Waiting instrumental. And the lyrics are pretty gross, which is awesome.

 

Negative: More Madonna than "waiting... for you..." please

 

 

 

 

Next: Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

[MXRXNCHX 1,133]

Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

 

Positive: This is pure life. The production it's amazing!

 

Negative: It wasn't a freaking single, nuff said.

 

 

Next up is WIFLFAG (Paul Oakenfold Perfecto Mix) *I've been listening to this remix in loop for the last 4 hours, sorry :v*

[mikenmark 433]

WIFLFAG perfecto mix

 

Positive: a real club banger, dance music done right.

 

Negative: sounds way too much like Skin club 69 remix

 

Next: Nothing fails

[slave 128]

"Nothing Fails"

 

Positive: Everything. This song is like heaven. The short guitar intro, the lyrics, those pulsating synthezator sounds, her voice. Honestly, it's totally in my top 10.

Negative: M. didn't write it herself....

 

Next: "Living for Love".

[survivalartist 6,745]

ElectrickOrus98 beat me to it   LOL then he fixed his.

 

Living for Love 

+ Its a song, it was the lead single for "Rebel Heart". She is a hot matador.

- Too "Like A Prayer" meets Eurodance for me. Expected more from a Diplo and MNEK collaboration. 

 

Next: I Deserve It

[MXRXNCHX 1,133]

I Deserve It

 

Positive: It's placed perfectly on the album, after Music, Runaway Lover and Impressive Instant (all of them dance tracks) feels like a fresh breeze, very relaxed. 

 

Negative: Even if I like the song, I found myself skipping it a lot.

 

Next up is Words

[voguemadonna 656]

Words

 

Positive: I love the "But your actions, speak louder than words..." part

Negative: It's a bit repetitive

 

Next: Gang Bang

[mr00mister 902]

Gang Bang:

 

+ the atmosphere that creates. you feel like you're actually gonna kill someone // the "drive bitch!" part.

 

- her vocals are a little monotone on the verses. it feels like a compulation of car sounds more than an actual song.

 

next song: Bitch I'm Madonna (ft. Nicki Minaj)

[survivalartist 6,745]

Bitch I'm Madonna

 

+ So much fun! An orgasm of a tune with that sexy lawnmower/grasshopper EDM sound. I love that so many have remixed it and none have succeeded. Don't slow the vocal.

- Nicki Minaj. 

 

Next: Laugh To Keep From Crying

[Dazedmadonna 18,464]

Laugh To Keep From Crying

 

Positive: Mmmm.. idk

Negative: It's bad

 

Next: Cry Baby

[voguemadonna 656]

Cry Baby

 

Positive: I think it's supposed to be a funny song. If it is, it definitely pulls it off

Negative: It's on of my least favorites off of I'm Breathless (which is one of my favorite albums). I always skip it.

 

Next: I'm So Stupid

[survivalartist 6,745]

[Dazedmadonna 18,464]

I'm So Stupid

 

Positive: Although many people dislike it, I think it's a really strong track, not the best on the album, but it has it's potential.

Negative: She didn't use it on the Re-Invention Tour, and that's really bad since the tour mix sounds gorgeous.

 

EDIT: @@DickTracy beating me for a sec ;Nnnn

 

Like A Virgin

 

Positive: Love love love this song

Negative: Her vocal sounds a bit too "chimpunk"ish

 

Next: Time Stood Still

[MXRXNCHX 1,133]

Time Stood Still

 

Positive: EVERY SINGLE THING

 

Negative: It makes me cry 

 

Next up is Shoo-Bee-Doo

[survivalartist 6,745]

Shoo Be Doo (Be Dooo BayBay)+ The title! It sounds like it will be some sort of doo-wop or silly song and its a heartfelt, piano driven pop song.- NonezoNext - Alone With You

[mikenmark 433]

Alone with you

 

+ve: "Look it up".  I'd like to think that is what she used to say to Brahim, Hence the shade with the teacup in the Barbara Walters interview.

-ve: Never made it to a final version, would have loved a big 80's tune like Flashdance or Fame

 

 

Next: Mer girl

[Dazedmadonna 18,464]

Mer Girl

 

Positive: Chill song, beautiful lyrics, powerful vocals

Negative: None

 

Next: Vogue (S&S 2008 Remix)

[voguemadonna 656]

Vogue (S&S 2008 Mix)

 

Positive: My favorite tour version of Vogue, I love how the elements of 4 Minutes were mixed in.

Negative: None

 

Next: True Blue
