Your Unpopular Madonna Opinions


Guest Lum

Recommended Posts

Heartbeat is one of her best songs ever. Hard Candy was more a return to form for Madonna in terms of her early music than Confessions on a Dancefloor was.

LAP must've been one of those 'you had to be there as a young fag to buy it during its release & really experience it' type of albums, cuz I don't like but two of the tracks on it really. Not into THAT Madonna.

ROL as an album does nothing for me. It's gr8 background music to clean to, fold clothes or something. Soulless Electronica, much like COADF.

LDLHA needs to be a (bigger) thing :wow:

Swept Away (post-Pee Pee & Amber's sex scene) contains some of her best acting.

The dubstep breakdown in Gang Bang NEEDS to go.

Hard Candy is THE album/ era of the 2000's. Not opinion, just fact.

01. I hate "Take a bow" and "Live to tell"

02. I love "Shoo-bee-doo" and "Jimmy Jimmy"

03. I don't like the álbum versión of "Holiday" (but I admit that when I Heard it live it was one of the best moments of her shows, at least for me).

04. I think that everybody should do with his body and clothes everything they want but I think that in the last years she doesn't use her imagination. The "Hard Candy" cover (for example) is very similar to what she wears on the "Turn up the radio" videoclip and things like that... I'm sure that in her closet there are lots of clothes but now she's always wearing the same black "mini-trousers" and things like that...

I think Nobody Knows Me, Xstatic Process and (especially) Intervention are really shit.

The opening of MDNA tour is awful. Her confession booth and rifle are beyond naff.

I think S&S tour is boring and her worst tour so far.

I dislike the Bedtime Stories artwork. She looks like Barbara Cartland. The pastels are horrid. The different font sizes in the booklet make my eyes hurt. The front cover is bad.

Impressive Instant would have been a failure as a single and been laughed at.

I love LDLHAM.

She should have released Each Time You Break My Heart herself.

I love Where Life Begins and think it should have been a single.

I love Gambler.

Hard Candy is mostly shit.

Virtually all the 12" remixes from the Erotica album are crap.

Human Nature is terrible.

Swim should have been a single.

Bedtime Story video is pretentious.

She should work with Mirwais and Orbit again. And Nelle Hooper.

WIFLFAG was a perfect third single.

Fever should not have been a single and should definitely never have been given the second track position on a brand new album.

Nothing Fails should have been the lead AL single.

Can't Stop would have been a better single than CAC.

Hard Candy is shit.

Confessions On A Dance Floor is overrated.

I don't want another Ray Of Light.

I don't want another Like A Prayer

I don't want another Erotica

I don't want her to work with past producers. EVER again. It won't be the same.

MDNA is the best album since Ray Of Light. It does Music better than Music, it does American Life better than American Life, it does Confessions On A Dance Floor better than Confessions On A Dance Floor and it does Hard Candy better than Hard Candy (the last one it's not that 'Hard', no pun intended :lol:)

- Some of my least favorite songs are among her biggest hits:

Like a Virgin

Material girl

Like a Prayer

Express yourself

Vogue

Take a bow

4 Minutes

. Her taste in singles for the past 2 albums were dull and gave me the shyts.

. I do not have her albums previous to Erotica...none, just my fave songs

. From Erotica and on, I have bought or got all her albums and enjoy 90-100% of them fully.

. I NEVER get my fave single of the albums I've got be released as single, let alone have a VIDEO! urgh!

. I prefer Revolver in the demo version by that other singer. Madonna's version is so fucking weak and ehr voice sounds like quite distant.

. I adore Some girls sound and lyrics, love the "got their fuck me porn star heels on".

etc

You couldn't say it better sister! Agree in all you said.

I guess I can understand your point there, however for those of us that were waiting and in our teen angst, early adulthood, LAP had a lot of "firsts". But you have to realize that the last new material we had was from 1987: WTG/YCD, so to get as close to a concept album as she had ever tried before... we got the real shit.

It was her first duet on an album with Love Song.

There actual dance remixes for LAP, EY, KIT that were completely reworked and used new instrumentation, which had never been done with her singles prior (I don't count the extended versions of previous singles)

She utilized parts of her voice we hadn't heard before, she took risks w/ songs like Love Song, but Promise To Try, Dear Jessie, Oh Father and Act Of Contrition were painfully revealing at that time, and also peppered with irreverent pop ditties that kept taking you from one place to another. Its still quite jarring to hear the end of PTT go right into Cherish.

I'm speaking for myself obviously, but I'd say at 13-14 years old having songs and videos like Express Yourself, but especially Like A Prayer that until that point were not

areas of social empowerment and responsibility in regular MTV rotation.

So I guess this little fag did hole up in my bedroom trying to figure myself out through, IMO, the most fundamentally human and revealing Madonna album yet.

Thank GOD I was only 11 when True Blue came out! LOL

Hard Candy is my favorite album.

Sticky and Sweet is my favorite tour.

Like a Prayer is my least listened to album.

Like a Prayer the song shits me, I don't like it nearly as much as others. (Probably because I've heard it TOO much)

I love GMAYL and 4 Minutes and especially American Life.

I like Brahim but I'd love to see M with a guy AT LEAST in his mid 30's, it would be hot.

Get Together should have been the 2nd single from Confessions (actually I think quite a few would agree with me)

MDNA has half amazing songs and half shit songs, even though I like all of them I would not miss some if they were erased from existence. Good but unnecessary songs haha.

Confessions Tour used to be my favorite but now a lot of it bores me.

The orgy part in The Girlie Show makes me cringe, I think it could have been left out.

Apart from MDNA all albums from Ray of Light onwards are listenable from start to finish and completely brilliant.

Celebration original is better than the Benassi remix

I agree!

To be honest I really don't know what's unpopular other than from what I've read from this site. None of my friends listen to Madonna. Believe me, I've seen their iPods.

Reading testimonials here over the years, it seems as though anyone who was a pre-teen/teen when Erotica came out had some sort of sexual awakening because of it. That did not happen for me at all....lol. I don't think Erotica is anywhere close to being her best work. Don't get me wrong.....there are certainly some brilliant songs on the album and I love the concept. Now, looking back it definitely has it's place in her body of work, I would never say she shouldn't have done it, but at that time, coming off of her "golden years" it was a CLEAR step back musically. This was at a time when I was just getting into all of her studio albums and honestly, I don't think I even finished Erotica the first time I ever listened to it. I simply did not connect with it at all. I was 12 when Erotica was released and I don't think I gave it a true chance again until I was 19 or 20 years old.

^ You need to read Slant's review. And the people calling "Erotica" the song boring are fucking nuts. I can understand not liking it (to each his own), but "boring" is the last thing I'd call it. That song fucking eats everything she's done in the last five years for breakfast.

I think Nobody Knows Me, Xstatic Process and (especially) Intervention are really shit.

Nothing Fails should have been the lead AL single.

Can't Stop would have been a better single than CAC.

i disagree with a lot of this, but the one in bold stuck out to me. At that time Madonna was really at a peak (even WIFLAFAG did moderately well), and I think "Impressive Instant" could have done well. I don't know why. I just have a feeling. She was riding a wave at that time.

This is what the early '90s version of Madonna would think of much of what Madonna has done during the last 10 years:

tumblr_l9fsp25D5r1qbk0zj.giftumblrm2aefnbm7o1qk0d9t.gif

I wouldn't speak for her. I think if you go into Madonna's projects only seeing the things you dislike (and talking about them AD NAUSEUM to boot), you're gonna learn to hate them regardless of whether they have merits of their own that can stack up against anything she's done. Every single Madonna album has an attribute that makes it stack up well in her catalogue. Regardless of how imperfect it may be.

This vocal minority around the board that believe she's a desperate bat who hasn't cared about her music since 2000 is so tired. If people pulled their heads out of the Cardboard Hat 200 Shart maybe they'd be a little more open minded.

How can everyone like everything? Just insane.

Confirms how much I wuv you all :inlove:
