  1. I think both Music and American Life are dragged down by too many acoustic songs. They weaved them in with some electronic bleeps but it didn't disguise the fact she was going in 2 very distinctively different directions musically. From interviews she talks about it like it was intentional but I personally would have preferred the acoustic tracks to have been more produced a la The Power Of Goodbye or even Has To Be to fit in with the other tracks.

    I believe the press release for 'Music' or even Madonna herself described it as a "party album" which it certainly ain't. It is filled with good songs though so for that reason I still rate it pretty highly. But I always felt Mirwais was limited as a producer. Songs like 'Music' and 'Paradise' are brilliantly produced but alot of the others are pretty basic in comparison to the intricacies' of Orbit or Price's work.

    I'm a fan of minimalist Madonna. The tracks are given room to breathe. When you tire of the material and then come back it -- usually for me it feels fresher than any of the thickly layered grand productions of her past.

  2. Music was a much ACCLAIMED album for 2000- didn't fare as well on decade-end lists, though. It was a good album- not quite as good or cohesive as ROL, but she reached her pinnacle there in terms of albums (also with LAP).

    You don't have to defend Music. We all appreciate something on a given Madonna album. Music had the misfortune of being the follow-up to Ray of Light. It did bring us Mirwais who is my all-time favorite Madonna collaborator after Shep Pettibone.

  3. She voted for Diane Wiest in Woody Allen's 'Bullets over Broadway' in 1995. So, yes it's old news. I think all it takes is being a member of the actors union & then a couple of people

    who are already in need 2 endorse you...But she can't nominate people by herself EroticaBlu.

    Obviously others must be in agreement with (some) of your picks for any of them to make it on the ballot.

  4. what does that mean?

    It means she has voter privilege at The Academy Awards / The Oscars. She can nominated actors, actresses, herself in the acting categories -- she can also nominated Best Picture contenders -- and once the official ballots are done -- she can vote for the winner in any category.

  5. Mmm... But why did she do it in the first place then? The video got out there anyway, not officially but everyone has and had the chance to see it, it was already on the net back in 2003 and she knew it would just like everything else, it just doesn't make sense to me :confused:

    As someone who writes, I believe Madonna was seduced by her own ideas. When that happens you’re not interested in running away from them but what its leading you to feels good – you feel like you can move oceans, and truthfully in that mental and spiritual state you can. Once everything was all said and done, you take a step back – look at your creation and realize not only is it not for everyone but this time the consequences aren’t about me, they have far greater reaches.
