Looks like article was planted. people feel really intimidated by her comeback and having success ; efforts are on to sabotage her. Lol, they're so scared she'll slay. one article by one newspaper of the right / far right , proud MACA instrument(they ain't hidin' it)with a blatantly obvious agenda ... so a compliment , really !

I believe that the thing that Madonna will be most disheartened by is indifference. Just look at Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson as examples of that. I do really think that Mariah, Janet were really industry products, that is why their music died years ago, and now is the Beyonce and the gags, their music will fade just in a couple of year. Today I heard What it feels like for a girl, album version, at a big Mall.....and 18 years later, it still sound so good, like it was a new song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alquemist Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 For the German fans out there: https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/musik/rammstein-madonna-taylor-swift-stormzy-springsteen-neue-musik-clips-a-1264569.html Translation: Eye patch instead of cowboy hat! Yes, but no: Not with Madonna! The 60-year-old will release her new album on 14 June and has now also released the clip to her comeback single (directed by Diana Kunst and Mau Morgó). Of course, it's a fashion festival in which the album protagonist "Madame X", apparently a Mata Hari-like spy with an eventful past, is introduced: "I have been kidnapped, tortured, humiliated and abused", Madonna speaks in a sacred intro, "In the end I still have hope. I still believe in the goodness of humans." Also: "Like A Prayer" reloaded. But that doesn't have much to do with the rest of the clip because it's about the initiation of Madonna's wedding with the young Colombian reggaeton star Maluma, who cuts a very good figure here. Madonna not always, even if she sucks provocatively on the big toe and gives a Tango-Gouvernante with whip. Eye patches, red, white, black are presented, but in the end, when the bride dances in white over the banquet table, she wears her Western hat again - her spare crown since "Music". So she's just like her old self. BTW, this is the BEST online translator out there: www.DeepL.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veroelectronica Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Im very happy the queen got rave reviews but tailor snake kept getting garbage reviews after having released her mediocre and ridiculous kindergarden bomb at the similar time with our queen. Its a karma. Lol Im happy the queen still pulls great reviews at her age and after 37 years. Unbelievable.

side_streets Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 There is another negative one in Guardian. I will post the text, but not the link here. Madonna ft Maluma Medellín This opening salvo from Madge’s new Madame X alter ego is an embarrassment of Latin-pop cliches, meaning that whether you’ll like it or not depends entirely on the extent to which Despacito makes you want to obliterate your own crotch with a half brick. Pronouncing the “ll” in Medellín with a soft “J” sound will win props with those appalling backpackers who went to Colombia for three weeks in 2013 and still see themselves as unofficial envoys to South America. Other than that, there is little here to invoke love, hate, or any feelings at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always though he is one trick pony, BUT he has grown and has become very diverse! Medellin combines ROL Madonna (thank god!), subtle and effective chill production with reggeton and cool euphoric Latin post-chorus (or chorus?). Its a real grower. I turned from almost hating it to really liking it. Bravo to M&M. I totally agree! I thought he was a one-trick pony after American Life, but then he surprised me with Future Lovers. I think Medellin is further proof that he's got skills and more great ideas to share with us. The word I would use to describe his work on Medellin is subtle...you can tell it's Mirwais, but it sounds like he's stretching muscles he might not normally use. (If there is a co-producer on the song, as rumored, then that explains a lot.) I'm totally psyched to hear what else he and Madonna do on this album!

side_streets Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 https://www.wmagazine.com/story/madonna-medellin-taylor-swift-me-music-video Sorry Taylor, Madonna Made the Best Pop Music Video of 2019 So Far. But is That a Good Thing? t's 2019, and a strong case could be made that Madonna has released the most compelling music video of any major American pure pop artist so far this year. On one hand, that shouldn't be too controversial a statement. Madonna is a master of the form (indeed, she probably wouldn't have become a global superstar without her compelling visuals). Her reflexes are still sharp, and the tricks of the trade she employs still bear fruit. In short, she very much knows what she's doing. On the other hand, her "Medellín" video, featuring Colombian star Maluma, isn't going to be mistaken by anyone for her career best. Nor is it likely you could point to any objective measure as proof of its superiority. The project certainly isn't going to be the most viewed music video of the week, and while the song is already at no. 1 on Billboard's Latin Digital Song Sales chart, it may not reach her past heights. Madonna's fan are certainly extremely loyal (her tour ticket sales are still notoriously strong, and we likely won't see her camp out in Vegas for some time), but they aren't the type to put a YouTube video on repeat for hours at a time to inflate views, nor try to get people to download the song on Twitter with fake Starbucks promotions. They're mostly adults. They have jobs. That's how they afford those concert tickets. Still, Madonna knows how to procure a fresh and unique visual. Spanish multimedia artists Diana Kunst & Mau Morgo directed the video, and their only previous exploits in the medium are two videos for Rosalia and one for A$AP Rocky and FKA Twigs. There's also the fact that she knows what to do when a camera is on her. Go back through her video filmography and you'll notice most of her videos include at least one set up where Madonna is secluded, usually just up against a random wall or background, and left to improvise through dance and general vamping (indeed, that's the entire strategy behind at least a few of her more cheaply produced videos). Here, the vamping takes place with Maluma on a bed. She ends up licking his toes in a moment that didn't seem preplanned. It's weird, but it's also classic Madonna. Even with all the stylistic flares, Madonna can still one up any other aspect of the video just by being herself. Whether it was through the bulging screens of an '80s TV set or your MacBook Air, Madonna has a way of grabbing your eye through a screen and staring you down mischievously until you get the sense that this lady could do anything by the time this five-minute music video is up. Then she usually does it. That's why she's a star. Compare that to this week's other major pop music video, Taylor Swift's Brendon Urie-assisted comeback "Me!" The 29-year-old's candy-colored video looks like it takes place inside whatever goes on inside children's entertainer Jojo Siwa's ponytailed head. It's been compared to an already warmed-over Instagram aesthetic, and perhaps the nicest way to describe the video is that it's the product of someone who heard La La Land was loosely inspired by the French musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, and then decided Jacques Demy's classic should be rebooted as a Disney Chanel Original Movie. It probably leaves anyone who has ever filed a tax return feeling limp. Some have even theorized that Swift is intentionally targeting YouTube's powerful toddler demographic with the video. Hey, those video views for "Baby Shark" are no joke. Whatever the case, in just four minutes and eight seconds, the video manages to obscure any sense of authenticity, growing sophistication, or personal complications Swift had accrued. It's not a reinvention. It's a retreat. Swift's fellow millennial pop icons haven't done much better in 2019. Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" and "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" were serviceable to her arguably superior songs, but certainly weren't aesthetically classic. Former Fifth Harmony girls Normani and Lauren Jauregui show promise, but aren't fully formed as solo artists just yet. Same for Ava Max. One wishes Ciara, ever a slept-on talent, got more money for her "Greatest Love" video. If Lady Gaga, Rihanna, or Beyoncé had dropped music videos this year, perhaps we wouldn't be having this conversation. To be sure, there's still lots of artists working outside of the mainstream concept of pop super stardom who have made great visuals this year (Solange's PhotoBooth-shot "Binz" video is transfixing in its confidence and intimacy). And there's also a whole of 2019 left. Still, if Madonna invented the career framework for the modern pop star, she serves as useful ruler to compare others. It just doesn't bode well for our general cultural evolution that she's still the one leading the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
