[M / X: Madonna on UK X Factor. The rumour is gaining momentum.... or not?]

"Rebel Heart" will contain elements of "Human Nature" ("Express yourself / Don't repress yourself") so don't worry babe.

That sounds fagtastic!

Can we expect any element from the unreleased outtake "Waving with the Crowd" in future live performances? After all, she once mashed up Erotica with the unreleased "You Thrill Me" as well.

Or maybe some elements from "Sitting on the Whole World" ?

I think "Britney, Don't Do It" will be more likely or maybe a mashup of Messiah/I Could Be the Devil

[M / X: Madonna on UK X Factor. The rumour is gaining momentum.... or not?]

Madonna's X-Factor setlist revealed

The Queen will perform 3 songs.

2 songs from the new album and 1 oldie but goodie.

The 2 new songs will be "Living For Love" and "Rebel Heart".

The oldie but goodie will be the major catalogue hit and fan favourite, "Turn up the Radio."

ARE YOU WITH ME?

I read that she's going to perform her smash hits Candy Shop and Human Nature as well as the upcoming lead single.

[Madonna - Arioso [1999] (Demo Clip) + William Orbit Comments]

I was not aware that fans loved Cherish so much. I've always found the song to be cheesy. Even so, I wouldn't mind hearing it live, anything to replace a song that been done over and over again. I'm looking at you Human Nature! lol

I agree. I love Cherish but I can see why it's considered cheesy at this point. It's one of the more light-hearted and radio-friendly songs from LAP and imo it always stuck out like a sore thumb on that album along with Dear Jessie.

The video is gorgeous and lovely but I think... and please don't hate on me for this guys, but I honestly think that Spanish Eyes or Till Death Do Us Part would've been better single choices than Cherish and Dear Jessie, which in my eyes were simply released because they were more light-hearted and easier for the GP to digest. Cherish is a cute and beautiful song, but it's kinda forgettable imo.

Back on topic...Do we have any information on whether this song's going to leak? I am dying to hear it!

[Top 7 essential music Videos... Really?!]

So I was watching a channel here in Canada called BPM (dance music station) and they have a show called Essential, where they play a selection of the featured artists music videos for 30 min.

I just watched the madonna episode which was dated for 2010 and they played the following 7 videos:

- like a Virgin

- into the Groove

- crazy for you

- LA Isla Bonita

- like a prayer

- get together

- hung up

What would be your essential 7 madonna videos that you would have selected for this TV show for a national audience to see?

Into the Groove? Crazy for You? GET TOGETHER??? Why did they choose to play those instead of some of her most iconic videos? And where the fuck is VOGUE? If I were to choose, I'd play:

Like a Virgin

Papa Don't Preach or La Isla Bonita

Like a Prayer

Vogue

Ray of Light

Don't Tell Me

Hung Up

I think these 7 are a good recap of all of Madonna's looks and re-inventions. They're essential imo.

[Can we officially say that Madonna writes the best bridges ever?]

Nothing takes the past away

Like the future

Nothing makes the darkness go

Like the light

You're shelter from the storm

Give me comfort in your arms

FUCKING SLAY! Best song ever!

["Something to Remember" (the SONG): A forgotten gem that hardly gets any attention]

I love this song. Definitely deserved it's spot on Something to Remember and in the end made up a great title for the compilation after the whole I Want You mess.

[Madonna - Arioso [1999] (Demo Clip) + William Orbit Comments]

While waiting for the leak of "Arioso", please show some love for "La Petite Jeune Fille":

YES OMG! I live for that song. The whispering throughout the song, the production, her vocals...

It's called Ariosa, DrownedMadonna wrong once again

It was apparently a misspelling since "Arioso" mean airy in Spanish.

[Song of the Week 8/3/14 : GIVE IT 2 ME]

I prefer Infinity, although her vocals in that one are crowtatstic . I've never been too fond of Give It 2 Me. It's one of the Pharrell produced songs on HC that still sound like unfinished songs, demos to be exact. The other ones being Candy Shop and Incredible. I think his work was kinda hit or miss on HC I still respect and admire him as a producer, though.

However, Give It 2 Me is one of those songs that you can't resist dancing or singing along to when it comes on on shuffle. That said, I keep catching myself doing exactly that, lol.

[Madonna - Arioso [1999] (Demo Clip) + William Orbit Comments]

OMGGGG I've been thinking about how much I wanted this song to leak while reading whoop's list a few days ago. I can't believe it's coming...this is too much for me. :crying:

["Music" appreciation thread.]

This album is probably one of the few albums I can listen to without having to skip some of the tracks. While it has it's ups and downs, it has huge replay value. Even some of the tracks I consider rather weak are not as bad as making me want to skip them, because they're still interesting. This album manages to balance cohesiveness and diversity without coming of as a cluster-fuck of other artists' rejects (see MDNA).

[Till Death Do Us Part - Appreciation Thread]

One of my all-time favourite Madonna songs! It's definitely one of the stronger songs from Like a Prayer and I personally think it could've been a great single with a great video and while I love the video for Cherish I always considered this song to be much stronger and single-worthy than Cherish or Dear Jessie.
