SkyHigh76 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 As for M herself, the fight against ageism is an important battle in her career-long revolution for freedom. I think she needs to rebuild some political capital though to wage the battle successfully, and the best way to do that would be to do a few things that would surprise and win over the general public. I hope she does a few performances that focus on music rather than theatricality, or at least emphasize the music more. Many people expect her to do something theatrical (or controversial) at this point and though they will watch the performance I don't think it will translate as well to sales or spins/streams from the general public. But I think they would be favorably surprised if she did, for example, a down to basics performance of purely live vocals and instruments (sort of like her SNL performance of Bad Girl), which I think would do a better job of translating into tangible benefits for the songs and album. And in turn, I think she would then also be better positioned to advance her ideas if the general public is engaged in her music and therefore willing to listen. I totally agree.I wish she would go on the chat shows and do some acoustic performances of songs like "Ghosttown" and "Joan Of Ark".I think the general public would be surprised to see her in a setting like that....no props,no dancers,no controversy.....just Madonna and her *music*.

frzndrwnwrld Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I agree. I think she feels as if she HAS to have a big production. Not sure why. She didn't used to think this way. Also, she has less control over technical things during TV performances, which causes her to be nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozo1 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 ok so i just got home from work. I am streaming on spottily...i got 3 tabs playing this nonstop playlist on repeat and I just tweeted and web requested the top cities on that truth fly list. one thing I did differently was change my name on the web form also for twitter, i mentioned things like, "heard someone playing this song in a car and asked what it was! didn't know Madonna had a new song! it's amazing! play it so i can blast on my ride home!" "my mom just finalized her divorce and she loves this song! play it for her! she listens to you all the time!" "my sis broke up with her bf and loves Madonna. she listens to you guys! play living for love" etc... anyway...15 minutes and I did the major cities. I'm holding back on text request until tonight when I get to the Madonna party and get everyone to request! You cheeky/sneaky pretty thing. I heart you.

Katypatra Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I've also been playing LFL video on repeat. Are you guys doing it? The number of views has barely changed. I wish all Madonna fans could be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaguy27 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Ageism is really strange and oddly acceptable…it is so wrong to through digs at a person for their natural state of being. Could you imagine someone saying that same thing about someone's race instead of age? Is is that horrible to be 56yo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an_mdna_fan Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I heard it 2 times so far @ z100, so far the most played song in my memory except 4 mins and even more than hung up. The dj called her queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattress Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Ageism is really strange and oddly acceptable…it is so wrong to through digs at a person for their natural state of being. Could you imagine someone saying that same thing about someone's race instead of age? Is is that horrible to be 56yo? The worst thing to me is being a younger person and having to REMIND people in their 50's that they actually aren't elderly and can do whatever the fuck they set their mind to. That may be a better legacy than Madonna leaves her own peer group... that the young will truly respect and encourage the generations before them to hold onto their vitality.

darlanbrandt Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I was wondering if Shazamming LFL when you listen to it on the radio would help anything. I mean, it would be added to your tagged songs and the more people doing it, it would start trending among the most shazammed songs of the week. Since young people use it a lot and there's notification every time they release the "top songs of the week", wouldn't it help to show that the song is going up and grow interest on people?
