    Songs she should NOT perform this tour

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Personally I would love some old-school arrangements the way Like A Prayer used the '80s remix - it was brilliant. No techno re-workings of her songs, they are high-energy enough. Would love to hear (never going to happen) Physical Attraction, NO 4 Minutes please - older arrangment of Holiday, Into The Groove, Open Your Heart and La Isla.

    I hate to be in the minority about this - but - that was actually what I was hoping for after she did Evita, that she would take a more 'adult-oriented' direction, especially with the ballads, etc. Now that MADONNA seems like a different person entirely, I truly miss Madonna the balladeer. Believe me, I'm all for dance-music, but I love what she did on Like A Prayer, it was thoughful and adult-like, also look at Ray Of Light, another brilliant direction...

    I see the usual suspects still have the sticks inserted deeply into their anal cavities. Geez....nobody predicted that. :manson: I think we all could've predicted the reactions of SOME a year ago without knowing the first thing about the song/album. If she would've went the HC route again they would've hated it, if she would've tried to follow in Gaga's footsteps she would've been desperate, she does a very Madonna-esque track and she still can't catch a break. I think it's safe to say she is beyond able to please the "usuals" at this point....some here obviously just have a chip on their shoulder about everything she does, no matter what it is lately...music or otherwise. I just don't see how some can analyze a little pop song so INTENSELY. How can people be so offended by a song that has "cheerleaders" commanding us to L-U-V MADONNA...with the song title Give Me All Your Love?? :lol: It's obvious that this song is not meant to be taken so seriously and analyzed like it's Mozart's last work or something. Chill the fuck out....have a joint! :fag:

    The song is fun and not what I expected at all and I mean that in a good way. It's like a throwback to ROL era (very Beautiful Stranger) and 80s Madonna vocals meets New Wave meets the 60's.....definitely not what's happening on radio right now so I think she did a good job of sticking out from the rest yet blending in enough to be able to get radio play. Even the song in it's current incarnation sounds like a hit IMO and it's going to be a blast live.

    I'm also old enough to remember fan reactions of many first singles. With Erotica her well had run dry as it was a inferior rehash of JML to some....Secret was just a bore and a bit of desperate attempt at M trying to "down with what's hot" by hooking up with Dallas Austin.....Frozen was labeled weird....Music was laughable and just HORRIBLE "do you like to boogie woogie. OMG SHE'S LOST IT!"......DAD was tired and the worst Bond song ever.....HU was too gay and frothy.....and of course 4M released in March of 2008 which had the misfortune of sounding SOOOOOO 2007 (just ancient!) and of course desperate. It's the same ol' song and dance every time.

    And may I just add how much I love her sassy little "it's time FOR!!" at about 2:30....how Madonna 1985 Madonna is that? Oh and the little reference to Lucky Star!! :wow:

    VERY WELL SAID KURT! :thumbsup:

    Jane Graham: Why Material Girl Madonna is looking frayed

    Saturday, 13 November 2010

    Seeing Madonna embarrass her children by dragging yet another star-blinded young stud onto the dancefloor this week, it struck me that the 52-year-old Ms Ciccone has now completed what will probably be her final transformation — from the Queen of Pop to a sad, sorry, salutary tale.

    Does Madonna really imagine, as she slaps on a fake smile and pours her punished body into another leather basque, that the world is gazing on in envy and admiration?

    Probably, a lifetime of being surrounded by toadying yes-men looking to bask in the glow of your fame and wealth can do that to a person. But to most of us, she simply seems to grow more delusional with each cruel passing year.

    Of course it’s the bizarre coping mechanisms celebrities like Madonna employ to combat the deterioration of collagen which have created the cultural consensus that time is ‘cruel’ to women. Her high profile struggle against getting older — cryogenics are surely only a shot of courage away — suggests that successful females in the public eye have no choice but battle against the inevitable until the bitter end, looking less heroic and more pitiful with each new photo shoot.

    But this week I went to see Lisa Cholodenko’s new film, The Kids Are All Right, and was presented with a 52-year-old with a different approach to middle-aged womanhood.

    Annette Bening — aka Mrs Warren Beatty — is also 52, and looks it. Her jowls sag a little, her neck has a hint of turkey to it, but she’s not only far sexier than Madonna, she’s also one of the most dignified and high-achieving players in Hollywood. And she seems — gasp! — happy too.

    If half of what’s written is true, then Madonna is addicted to testing out any new technology which claims youth-injecting properties.

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying a bit of Botox to cheer yourself up, but the results of Madonna’s obsessive experimenting are not attractive. It’s not just that she appears, alternatively, puffy, swollen, gaunt or stretched; there’s also a haunted look of fatigue and desperation in her eyes.

    Bening on the other hand looks rested, contented, soft and maternal. Her face is full of personality and warmth and exudes calm confidence.

    Madonna’s hunt for youth has of course become literal; since her divorce from Guy Ritchie she has paraded a series of men barely out of adolescence alongside her.

    She must believe that her lithe baby-boyfriends make her the envy of other women, but, really, they just make her look like an insecure embarrassing mum who never gets to have an interesting conversation.

    How ironic that Bening is married to Beatty, the old bed-hopper Madonna famously failed to tame but who gave it all up the moment he met the formidable Bening, with whom he settled down and had four children.

    Bening has proved that it is possible even in Hollywood — the most looks and career-obsessed neighbourhood on the planet — to get off the ladder to have children, allow yourself to be almost forgotten by your peers, and return to make some of the best work of your life in your early fifties.

    Madonna, the most fiercely competitive pop star of the last three decades, hasn’t made a good record for five years, though she pedals furiously to keep her profile skyscrapingly high.

    There is so much she could learn from the intelligent, benevolent, self-contained Mrs Beatty — but the truth is, she probably can’t bear to look at her.

    FIRST OF ALL - does anyone take ANYTHING in the "UK PRESS" seriously...?
