Etips Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Madonna looks ten times better as a brunette. I wish she'd ease up on the blond bombshell thing. I also wish she had kept her hair long and dark for the duration of the entire Like a Prayer era. Favorite songs: • Like a Prayer • Cherish • Express Yourself • Keep It Together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevermind Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 "Act Of Contrition" - one of the greatest things she's EVER done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songkaiwen Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Dunno why... but Madonna being serious for a whole album does not do it for me! My favourite song is Cherish. I really do not know why it was not a HUGE hit, because the lyrics and beat were one of Madonna's best. However, this era's videos were very very iconic. LAP... EY... OF... They were great videos that cemented the fact that M can be a serious artist. Overall... this album was kind of a downer for me after the fast pace fun of True Blue, but the videos were miles better and Cherish beats any song on TB but OYH!

I wish she had kept her hair long and dark for the duration of the entire Like a Prayer era. Too right. Her look here and those photos are the best thing ever. :vanitybonet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSD Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Voted for Like A Prayer as favorite song, with Oh Father in second place. Just because Like A Prayer is such a versatile song, with so many different good versions/performances and Oh Father only works as a ballad.

MaddysMuff Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I voted for "Till Death Do Us Part". Have always felt a connection with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pud Whacker Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 one of her best albums. it was all leading up to this. everyone was infatuated with madonna, then she became an international star during the who's that girl tour and by the time 89 rolled around, people wanted to be let inside. it was perfect.

Lymon Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Like a Prayer is simply the greatest song ever. It is my favorite Madonna song, and my favorite song ever. It's just brilliant, and the music video is incredible in every way. I love this entire album, it flows really well and shows that Madonna can be a serious artist. A masterpiece in every way.

Guest Pud Whacker Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 That's a great review, but I wouldn't call Michael Jackson an ordinary pop tart. That's stupid. but he was. even before his sacred death. anyway, that review rock'd it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Lecter Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Ah, Spring 1989. A young Dr Lecter had just got his results from his 11 PLus (UK exam you take at, erm, 11) and as a reward MAMA LECTER said i could have anything i wanted (within reason, she still is a bit of a tight bitch)..so i got the LIKE A PRAYER album...and to this day, that smell of Patcholi oil reminds me of it, and my album sleeve still smells of it And who can forget the premier of the Pepsi ad...LUSH GO AHEAD, MAKE A WISH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acko Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 That's a great review, but I wouldn't call Michael Jackson an ordinary pop tart. That's stupid. The world was in awe of Micheal's talent, intrigued by his reclusive persona but MJ would never b a 'threatening' performer like Madonna. Of course NME would consider MJ a poptart in the '80's...I think his music had 2 become retro 4 them say something nice about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coked Up Baby Boy Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 A good artistic jump for her, but an overrated album. It has some nice moments: Prayer, Promise To Try, Oh Father. Some decent but average moments: Spanish Eyes, Keep It Together. And some really shit moments: Cherish [never liked it], Love Story [which is a tuneless MESS]. I always felt like i needed to BE there at the time when it launched to understand it's impact. Hearing it later on though, i can't say i was ever blown away by it. Some good songs though.
