GimmeSomeMo Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 of course. shes been doing this since the start. it never affected her actual work. all of a sudden its an issue. just like how M suddenly has to pamper her fans out of nowhere. ridiculous. Yes clearly 3 endorsements 2 of which only aired in Japan and one was super super high profile and basically meants she really hit the big time (Pepsi) are exactly the same as tracksuits, gyms, lipsticks, vodka, sunglasses etc in the space of five years. It IS part of the Livenation deal as it seems but it doesn't mean it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacHarris Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Fab. The dance contest is a cute idea, and this deal will encourage me to drink even more Smirnoff. And no they did NOT use both bits of Candy Shop & 4 Minutes for Madge's little cameo? PS- I'mma win that contest, join the upcoming tour, & persaude her to sing LDLHA. Thank me later.

Lucky guy Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 pretty much. oseary talked about artists as "brands" before. If he really knew anything about brands, he wouldn't have convinced Madonna to sign a deal that constantly dilutes and overstretches her brand via all these dreadful endorsements, but I must still insist that this isn't a bad one. It's relevant to music; it's a young and quite cool campaign, it will reconnect her with a young (and dare I say it straight) crowd. It's simply a case of marketing -in the UK Smirnoff is marketed as a mid range quality vodka; in the US it's clearly marketed as a budget vodka. This campaign is a UK one right?

adreeyen Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 A lot of people I know like to drink Smirnoff. If this could be marketed with Madonna's new music (which won't cater to a younger crowd, but can be accessible to all ages), I can see this deal being a success for her.

XXL Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Your constant Gaga obsession aside, I thought Madonna was supposed to be a lot classier than Lady Gaga. What happened to that? These deals are part of the recording/touring industry. For small artists and for big names alike. It's how the movie industry works too. Still the Gaga headphones were cheap and yes Madonna is way classier on every level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I just read this on Facebook, i know it's probably false but i guess rumors are best than nothing !

jonski43 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 anddddd we're complaining again.......... good ol M fans Yes, I can't believe the negative vibes either!

XXL Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Personal opinions aside, you'd think fans would be used to this by now....quick recap.... 2007 Live Nation 360 deal. How is this any different than her putting her name to VCR's, cars etc. in those Japanese ads in the 80's? Or Pepsi for that matter? Or any of the other 10,000 things she's endorsed over the years. Why is this an issue only fairly recently?? Furthermore, how does any of this affect her art? She's always been a "sell out" (for lack of a better term) and she's also always managed to deliver the goods. Some people on here are pretty obtuse. And in some cases they have crap tastes as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loomer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Smirnoff is a good brand in the UK -it's not a premium brand like Grey Goose or Belvedere Yeah, I always thought Smirnoff was quality. I mean it's no FINLANDIA or as expensive as Grey Goose which is more of an American thing but it was always the standard. Vodka is vodka at the end of the day *swigs a bottle of Asda Smart Price* I can't stand Red Square, that stuff tastes like shyt. I guess Smirnoff is roughly equivalent to the more stylish Absolut in stature. And trust Dr Lecter to approve of a VODKA deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeSomeMo Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I HAVE TO BUMP THIS! PEOPLE! OMG This will sound silly but it sounds like Madonna to me. Something about the chord changes.

Nikki Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 maybe its a mix. but I kinda like it.. not for a serious "deep" track but just a very big dance hit. i assume its more solveig.. i dont hear a lot of orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic_system Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Personally I think it's just a random song and it has nothing to do with the album.
