Still at Number 23 though on Scottish album charts.

I don't know what is stiff about dancing up and down stairs and climbing tables and chairs and hanging her legs over bars
LOL! I agree.
I also agree with what someone had said earlier about often the backing track being too loud, whereas we could hear her this time. I would love Madonna to bring back having her back up singers beside her supporting her and a change of band or musical director. I know a lot of us hark back to that amazing Girlie Show band, or DWT.

It was a 1000 x better than Eurovision mess. That should have been Eurovision. I loved everything about it and it wasn't too preachy. American Life is always going to be one of those songs you know is going to be never going to be sung note for note well, the only thing I found a bit off was it was as if she was reminding herself of the lyrics out loud at the start? And when the band member put the guitar on in between such a short gap of singing. She was full of adrenaline, but I do also agree, it could have one been doing with one more oldie but goodie.

Has she? Keeping the strongest songs from the public when promoting her new album? Don't you think something like God Control or I don't search I find would of gone down a storm at the Eurovision and generated far more interest for Madame X over Future ?
Hate to be critical this album is amazing but just my thoughts.
You're 100% right. Even I skipped (for first time) through a lot of the released songs (except Medellin) thinking for first time I don't like any of this new stuff. Now hearing the stronger tracks I'm like WTF?! What are they actually thinking releasing mediocre tracks first?

It was the oddest version of LAP to do, out of all the reinventions of it at that type of show, considering S&S, RIT or RHT. And comparing performances at Live 8, Live Earth and even Billboard Awards. I do agree with what a lot of reaction videos are saying about the staging - why no one (or perhaps they did and she didn't listen) advised against singing while trying to walk down stairs sideways with a heavy costume/cloak on.

Well Future has went in at 50 in Scotland, not even charted in other UK charts, and Medellin did well in Scotland too. Come on Madge and ditch London and give us some Scottish dates ffs!

Thank God she still tries hard at 60. She could’ve joined a knitting club years ago. Madonna is fuckin fierce.
Oh come on, she's already admitted she was bored in Lisbon, she has a contract to complete and whatever anyone says, she is still the original material girl after the almighty dollar. Don't fool yourself by saying she could have given it all up at 60. She could have retired years ago and peddled GH tours every now and then. She's a performer and she loves it. Yes we're all grateful she's still making music but behind the scenes, I don't believe it's for the good of the fans. It's for her obligation to contracts and income. If it was all for the fans then we would see more things like VIP packages including meet and greets etc.

I know people are saying about spreading a message, but Eurovision is known for its camp vibe. Also, it is a non-political show. It's strange why she obeyed Superbowl instructions to the letter but disregarded Eurovision rules.
Compare this to Superbowl, or even, LAP at Live 8. It was a flat performance and the sound hasn't been good for BMA and now this. Bring back Stuart Price who was a genius and worked so well alongside her. LAP is a great song to get audience involvement, put your hands together. Instead it was very dire. I get that this is probably her setting up the premise for the Madame X tour but maybe not best suited for Eurovision.

That pic of her attending the funeral - I love when Madonna channels her Bette Davis look!
-
On the subject of celebs on social media, I noticed Glenn Close has spoke often about how much she admires Madonna. On her official Twitter, a guy tweeted her to say that Madonna said Erotica was a great record and she replied to him saying "read the web chat, loved it-Erotica/Girlie Show-special place in my heart, M is THEE Queen GX"
-
I love when she channels Bette Davis! However, this look is more Joan Crawford I think....? EEEK, I love it. Madonna needs to be in the remake of a Bette Davis film!
-
hey thank you that's nice !
Well you're always so positive, you provide a lot of knowledge and pics that I've never seen and you just come across as a really nice, genuine guy! If you ever come to Scotland, let me know.
-
Don't you remember when 50cent said M would release a single with the title Girls gone wild everyone didn't believe it was going to be a single, then after the it's been released for the 3rd single people were expected Some girls, love spent or i don't give a , then after it was turn up the radio everyone believed love spent would be the 4th sinle and on and on.... it 's never been crystal clear what the singles would be especially days before the album was officially released.
Aw Preston, you are always a wealth of knowledge! I always look forward to your posts! I would have loved Some Girls to have been a single
-
Love when she looks like Bette Davis. I'm sure she will morph like her when she's older. Love to see her being interviewed with a whisky and cigarette
-
Why are you so sure?
M isn't stupid and she's not called the Material Girl for nothing!!
-
These people are so far from the light.

I think she is will continue to sing Human Nature, Ray of Light, Music and La Isla Bonita, until the age issue is dropped! So let's stop any age talk now!!!!
-
Me too. So maybe it's off air now :-(
-
Me too in the car! Glad I'm not alone!

I listen to it on my IPAD through "Tunein" free radio and I have just checked and it's still working. They're playing 'Broken' just now! Which is such a good song
-
I could never get sick of the songs that have made me bazillions of dollars! hahahah
+1! Everyone usually hates their work at some point and there are far far more demanding jobs out there such as teachers, doctors, nurses and care etc but if you knew for two hours doing same thing you'd get 1 million plus damn right we'd be rehearsing in lounge before hand!

Well I loved reinvention because I got to see songs performed I never imagine she would do again and that was amazing. However, what does really irritate me is eg on Stick and Sweet request some nights she sing Express Yourself and then say "ok enough of that shit" (Cardiff). Well that shit is what made you famous and what always gets the most response of the night so embrace it and don't diss old songs. Respect your work a bit more.
And sing bloody Bad Girl!!!
Madame X album general discussion

Rebel Heart is my favourite Madonna album since Confessions, in particular, the demos and songs left off. The Beautiful Scars demo I must have listened to multiple times every day for a year I'm sure. Maybe in time I'll get the Madame X 'hype', but I just don't enjoy listening to majority of songs on it. I think (in my opinion) it depends the state of mind/place you're in. The songs on Rebel Heart are where I still feel a huge part of me is personally so I can connect more to them than Madame X.
