    Songs with the best vocals?

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted · Edited by tomwiggz

    I love the way she sings "I feel loooooooooooooooooooooove" in the Future Lovers/I Feel Love mix from The Confessions Tour. I also love her Papa Don't Preach voice! It's almost a little raspy but in a good way. The soft sound in Promise To Try and The Power of Goodbye make them some of my favorites. I think the way she sings in Falling Free is very beautiful as well. Crystal clear, but you can still feel the emotion. Funny because I read that she was sick the day she went in to record that.

    "Open Your Heart" was surprisingly my favorite, I thought it would be "Gang Bang" because that was amazing when I saw it live (still is). I can't remember if she even did OYH at my show, but she probably did lol. It was just very warm and uplifting in a different way than the original track is. My favorite interlude is still my favorite from when I originally saw the show and that's "Best Friend/Heartbeat". There's almost some kind of supernatural/robotic/zombie vibe to it that I love.

    All in all it was good, the visual effects in the intro were way over-done and beyond annoying but luckily they toned down once she began with "Girl Gone Wild". Sometimes I felt like the music was down too low or something and her vocals were unnaturally loud, but maybe that's just me. I also found the lighting/filter effects rather harsh at some points too. She looks like a cartoon character for most of "Vogue". We'll see if the DVD is any different! Confessions is still my favorite though :p

    Misheard Madonna Lyrics

    At first I thought in Future Lovers she was saying "give me evidence of his brilliance" and I was like geez wtf is her problem. I'm not religious whatsoever but I thought it was kind of rude and snappy hahahahaha

    My friend who I brought to the MDNA Tour with me texted me a few days after and claimed she "sucks at rhyming" in Like a Prayer and gave the example: "just like a mystery, you are a mystery" LOL.

    Isn't Kanye's rap on Beat Goes On kinda...insulting?

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    I don't think that's what the rap was about

    This came on my iPod on shuffle the other day and it reminded me of this. Look at some of the lines in Kanye's rap - they really don't seem overly complimentary towards Madonna:

    I'm like a vampire on the full moon now (Madonna being labelled a 'vampire' by critics throughout her career)

    I don't know about you now but I think I wanna try something new now

    cause you was losing your breath now

    Uh, 'cause you be doing it to death now

    She be doing E to F now

    What's left now?

    All lines which kinda allude to Madonna having been around for a long time and being well past her peak (she be doing E to F now = she's at the bottom of the barrel). Then he raps:

    Mr West now

    Can you get any more fresh now?

    I think I just did, just now

    ie he's the new talent here and he just served Madonna.

    I got the feeling that the rap was about him being more fresh than ever and the rest was directed to whoever the song was about.

    But to answer your first question, yes, I find it insulting that his rap was added into the album.

    Do You Consider "I'm Breathless" An Album?

    Although I agree that it's an album, the fact that it's all inspired by that one movie sort of takes something away from it for me. Almost like it had to be only one thing. I understand what a concept album is, but this almost seems like "if we could put more songs into this movie these would be them"...and I'm not so into the movie anyways.

    It's an album, I just don't look at it as a Madonna album, almost like an album she was enlisted to make.

    anyone that has the time or patience to sit down and critique the looks of children is better off getting a life. Simple! Whether it is Honey Boo Boo, Bobby from Eastenders or one of Madonna's kids.

    I'm not saying it's smart or right, I'm just saying it's someone's valid opinion and it doesn't make them any more "messed up" for thinking it than it does you for thinking the opposite. And I can't imagine anyone is sitting around all day and critiquing her appearance...They took the time to make a post (like we ALL do), it is what it is.

    Oh shut up. She's a damn child, and it has nothing to do with madonna as an artist. It's pointless to bring up and fucking STUPID. Stop trying to defend it. These are unpopular opinions that are in reference to madonna and madonna ONLY

    Well that wasn't really my point, but okay. :)

    I don't agree or disagree because frankly I don't care about or pay attention to her kids, but how do you figure it's okay to think a child is cute but it's not okay to think a child is ugly? That's just silly. It's not like anyone is running into her on the streets and calling her names. It's an unpopular opinion on a message forum. What kind of logic is that anyways? Unless it's a positive opinion don't share it? Well, you're in the wrong thread then lol. Sorry but, children are people. People can be attractive or ugly. Most of you surely have no problems ripping Honey Boo Boo to shreds, but god forbid someone makes fun of one of Madonna's children.

    • I like both "Jimmy Jimmy" and "Superstar", and think both songs are cute.
    • The Erotica album is very overrated among fans.
    • Drowned World Tour was her worst.
    • I cannot stand "Angel", I think it's her most annoying song.
    • "Nobody's Perfect" is a better song than people give it credit for.
    • She looks terrible with a pixie cut.
    • GMAYL was a good lead single for MDNA.

    Did anyone here become a fan because of MDNA?

    I became a fan as a kid around 2002ish. I started obsessing over her in 2005 during Confessions but I'd say the MDNA era I fell further into fandom. The MDNA tour is my first (and probably only) Madonna tour (It was amazing, I'm just not crazy about concerts). I learned a lot more about her from this era but I didn't really make me a fan, since I already was one. It was my re-awakening :p

    I did take my friend who was a big Gaga fan (he had even attended the Monster Ball) to the MDNA Tour and afterwards he was like "Madonna put's on a way better show and her dances are so much more complicated!" He then went on to talk about how there is very little physical movement on Gaga's part during her shows hahahaha. So maybe I was able to make him a fan through MDNA :)

    I was born in 1992, I became a fan around age 10 when Music/American Life were out. However, I was not a fan from those albums. I found The Immaculate Collection on the side of the road in front of my house while waiting for the bus, lol. Half of the CD skipped so I grew up listening to mostly hits from her first two albums. My mom used to say that someone's going to have to play "Borderline" at my wedding, and I got an earful for explaining what a virgin is to the other kids in the neighborhood. I was so in love with her, but I don't remember needing to "find out" who she was. It was like she's just someone you're born already knowing.

    Over the years I obviously saw her more and more and then really dove into fandom around Confessions when I was in middle school. That's when I discovered there was way more to her then just catchy pop songs. As far as musical changes, I really love when she does new stuff. One of my reasons for liking her is that she doesn't repeat herself.
