Madonna’s bloody arm in Madame X shoot

[drivebitch 1,894]

What’s this all about? What’s with the blood? Was Madame X in battle?

It was probably added after the fact cuz the shot looks pretty basic, would have been even more basic without it.

Madame X is a secret agent, travelling around the world, changing identities, fighting enemies, bringing blood to basic pictures.

Not even a rotten corpse in the middle could have made this photoshoot look interesting...

Nobody's gonna talk how in the booklet they literally photoshopped the same head onto two different poses? So bad. I still cant believe fans hold this awful shoot in such high regard. Klein's worst until that awful Monroe V mag shoot.

I love the standard and deluxe cover, it's not genius but I always thought the photoshoot has some great pictures in it.

Yes, as much as I don't always agree with how they differentiate between Standard and Deluxe, both covers are very awesome and unique.  Rebel Heart Standard cover/Deluxe are awesome, but the tracks between the albums are ridiculous especially since they left off the title track "Rebel Heart" on the standard edition.  The artwork usually doesn't bother me as much as the tracklist.  Many of the Deluxe version tracks since MDNA belong on the standard version.  Say hello to "Beautiful Killer".

I agree, I love all the 2010s albums... the problem is the huge tracklists with weird choices like Autotune Baby instead of "Queen"...

Joan of Arc and Love Spent acoustic are a piece of art, its a shame we ended up with their generic remixes.

But at least we have lots of good demos during RH. Her team should hire us @Adonna

For Rebel Heart deluxe and super deluxe it's almost like the autotune BABY itself did or assorted the tracklists, no sense in most, I mean leaving the track that could have been lead (Rebel Heart) as a deluxe makes no sense but at least attracts people to buy the deluxe digitally or physically

It's a refference to Saw franchise since she is dressed as Jigsaw lol

What a joke… whyyy? Album title track not included… 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This booklet decision was Trolldonna in full force mode and lowkey iconic:

Apart from that I quite liked that whole album photoshoot?

What about that pic where her legs are way too long for any human being and the lenght ratio is totally fucked up. I'm not able to look at that pic, it's ridiculously obvious. 

That one pic posted under. Now imagine the lenght of her legs if she put her legs straight and stand still... Ridiculous. Her whole body is double size lenght.

Isn't this a picture made to the booklet? That would explain the distorted proportions.

I don't know, I'm honestly surprised with this photoshoot hating!

She went for the Bayonetta proportions with this one 🗣️

Does anyone else also hate the way Steven Klein edits/retouches his photographs? It’s always so damn tacky!

[Tudors 695]

Madame X era was not good cool or interesting. Album was ok I guess. Not an era I revisit often. Kinda why I'm not excited for any new album. Rather have old songs leak or released officially

Wait? You really didn't know the Standard version of Rebel Heart didn't include the title track "Rebel Heart".  The standard ended with the 14th Track "Wash All Over Me".  But of course the Deluxe Version ends with "Rebel Heart".  It and the other four tracks before it, are considered "Bonus Tracks" on the Deluxe. 

I think Madonna and most fans pretty much think of the Deluxe version as the standard. I personally do not like when artists have multiple version of an album.  If it was something added during a new re-issue, that would be different, but all these variants just are money grabs.  And of course, I still buy them ALL!!!  LOL!
