elijah Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I really love the Madonna voice here (start 1:40): Its mature and I think she sound so soulful: can you imagine her working with Annie? I think the result could be quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luluthecat Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 @ dollhouse - What?! I love her voice here! Just perfect. She sounds like herself. I love to hear more records performed in her natural (un-forced) vocal range as she has a beautiful voice. For me my main issues with MDNA come from her singing in higher pitch which she can't reach naturally now that her voice has aged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frzndrwnwrld Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I agree! I would like her to sing lower. The MDNA version of Like A Virgin was really well done. It was a totally different vocal style that she should explore in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest I'llTeachYouHowTo... Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 she sounds lovely but the song itself is just so shit. ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt420 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 She WAS in the middle of recording the fabulous funky, soulful Hard Candy when this song was recorded....so it's no wonder that fabulousness would carry over into this track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky guy Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 She insisted on having the biggest part in the song, which was a waste of time, because her voice sounds horrible on it -and it's a horrible song. I really like the idea of the song, but it's just rubbish. If Annie couldn't write something decent (and it seems clear she couldn't), she should have just got those artists to collabarate on her (excellent) cover of 'Shining Light' by Ash, which she later released on her GH compilation. That would have sounded great, and been an uplifting song for a charity. (Please shut your eyes, the video is APALLING) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acko Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 She insisted on having the biggest part in the song, which was a waste of time, because her voice sounds horrible on it -and it's a horrible song. No she didn't, Annie went on Record as 2 say she CHOSE Madonna 2 have the biggest part cuz it would garner the most publicity 4 her cause. & it's that typical Madonna range we all know & love.

(& miss) No she didn't. She implied that Madonna had asked for a verse in order to do it, and that she had said yes because having Madonna on there would garner more publicity, so giving her what she wanted was better than not having her at all.

Apples388 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 And that "Shining Light" video is fantastic! A great example of a small budget going a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boy skeffington Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Madonna sent back her part and had sang an entire verse instead of just the chorus. No demands or conversation. Annie chose to use it and it had Madonna's blessing obviously since she sang it/sent it. No drama at all LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Well either way the song was a terrible flop and raised nothing. The end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluejean Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I know, you said that already. I love Annie too but I would have preferred a proper duet with Madonna. They could have done something for Something To Remember, that would have been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madonna_fan1988 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Am i the only one that listens to this song only until Madonna's verse is over and than turn it off? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 its a bit of a non-song, especially given all those involved. i had always wondered if there was a madoonna-only version knocking about, but guess not if she only did one verse / chorus. a proper Madonna / Lennox duet [on a good song] would be great.

Chimera Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's a shit song and I'm sorry but her vocal isn't very nice. I agree...she sounds so bored...not exciting at all...her lower range can be very sexy and soulful but this is pures crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikeItUp Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's a shit song and I'm sorry but her vocal isn't very nice. Especially when they layered Madonna's paper-thin vocals with Annie's wounded sparrow-vocals. Musically you couldn't hear Madonna, not the right track for her (and those awful Hard Candy vocals). And the song was crap to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini1313 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 her voice is soulful, however its the mixing/sound engineering that is way off. her voice needed to be tweeked out, its too bland and flat. it couldve sounded much better in terms of quality.
