ryan Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well MTV has been doing Live premieres lately for the music videos, with a following live interview too. So it would be cool for M to go down this route. Plus, theres a chance M could do one of those mini documentaries that Nicki, Gaga, Beyonce, and Britney did.

bliss Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Madonna should do two *excellent* videos for the first two singles.I hope she doesn't kill the momentum of the album by releasing a questionable second single with a lame video (like she did with HC). "Give It To Me" destroyed that album's hit potential. The HC project died an early death. She should've released "The Beat Goes On" as single # 2 I pray she releases the right singles for this new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather her do something for Fuse or Palladia rather than MTV. Those are the true music channels now IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernatural Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 For the first single, perhaps she should do no video or one in which she does not appear. I like the idea of the Queen of MTV not even doing videos anymore. That would be quite a riposte to MTV for no longer playing them, would avoid the negative comparisons to Lady Gaga that would otherwise be made, and would certainly garner far more media attention than any video that she could make. Plus, only Madonna's die-hard fans buy her singles anymore, so it's not as though she would be losing any sales by not having that promotion. George Michael tried not being in his own videos and all that. Just made his demise come that much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickens Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 George Michael tried not being in his own videos and all that. Just made his demise come that much quicker. But he did that in the early 90s when videos still mattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 4M although it was a very big hit destroyed the fate of the album, as it wasnt a Madonna song..it was a proper Justin & Timbaland Feat Madonna song All the negative reviews and the criticism she got for jumping too late on the tiresome Timbaland bandwagon damaged the whole Hard Candy era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was probably the only song that would've been such a big pop hit on that album, regardless of it sounding like a Timberlake/Timbaland song. This thread is really getting out of control. We're never going to be able to find rumors and news with all this discussion of other albums. I admit I am guilt too. Moderator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Give It 2 Me" is a great tune,but it didn't stand a chance in America."Beat Goes On" was the logical choice for the second single.If she had filmed an excellent video with Kanye and Pharrell,there is no way that this song would have been ignored.It would have easily found an audience.She could have had two Top 10 hits in America.

After "4 Minutes",the follow-up singles should have been "Beat Goes On","She's Not Me" and "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) I would rather her do something for Fuse or Palladia rather than MTV. Those are the true music channels now IMO. But those channels get 1/20 the viewers. (Very) Slowly but surely MTV is integrating more music in the channel, especially MTV2.

"Beat Goes On" screamed single release. I don't know what her team was thinking. It was one of the most popular tracks on that album. Radio would have lapped that shit up like the previous single. She had her chance to score some U.S. hits by adding some hip hop stars. But alas she went solo and released a generic track resulting in a big fat flop. Not even "Miles Away" could save that sinking ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Furtado or any popular pop diva could have sang that song with Justin and Timbaland. It wouldn't have made any difference but at least Miss M scored that one and only hit from HC era. It will be interesting to see if the new single next year will be a big U.S. hit. She may need another "featuring" to increase those digital and airplay sales.

Guest SuperPop Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I disagree."4 Minutes" became her most successful single since "Vogue". 'Hung Up' was bigger than '4 Minutes' worldwide still '4 Minutes' was huge but not for any Madonna related reason..As Live It Up just said, Nelly Furtado could have sung it (or only Justin) and it would have been as big as well.. and that is easily proved by the fact that it didnt sell at all the album ('Give It 2 Me' came after the release of the album) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing could be said for any number of Madonna singles.For example,if Britney Spears had recorded the song "Music",it would have been just as successful.

elijah Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 From William Orbit's twitter - "u gonna pee your panties when u hear what's cookin" OMG!!! 1) lets hope he talks about Ms lp; 2) she is probably back in the studio NOW; 3) lets not get overexcited by their reaction - I think Guy Oseary said that Celebration/Revolver was "off the hook" or something like that and while I like both songs I didnt pee my pants. They werent as good as say Confessions tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carta Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Nelly Furtado couldn't have performed 4M - without Madonna, it wouldn't have existed, since she created it with Justin, Timbaland and Danja I think the references to 4M being Madonna's biggest hit since "Vogue" in the US refer to sales. Of course, we're talking about two different eras here, and any hit in the digital age is going to sell more than even a smash in the physical age.

HolidayGuy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Some discussion of the recent album is understandable in a thread about the forthcoming album. But let's try to stay on the topic at hand. In terms of Hard Candy: "4 Minutes" probably was the only single that was going to do well in the USA, as all others- even "Beat Goes On"- are mostly Madonna, and radio would not have loved it. In regards to the new album- perhaps if it's fresh and sophisticated, radio (especially Hot AC) will give it a chance, to some degree. I still don't expect much pop love (would be surprised to see a track peak top 20 at pop, like "Hung Up")- but Madonna often surprises, so we'll see. If William Orbit is referring to his work with Madonna, let's hope it lives up to the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
