  1. but Madonna is supposed to be head and shoulders over the competition and she's always done her own thing with a "fuck the masses" thing,

    She was capable of doing that a lot more pre-American Life. Afterwards she hasn't been able to re-capture the interest of radio to play her songs except in Europe and obviously she seems disatisfied with that, otherwise she may have not created Hard Candy.

    Madonna is respected more for her relevance after nearly 3 decades in the music inducstry more than she is for her albums. She has the pressure to constantly remain relevant and it seems that's what's taken the front seat of her thoughts as opposed to creating an edgy album.

  2. If he had said Pat Leonard i think i would have agreed with his statement as would most people here. But I honestly think Stuart was good for one album only. His techniques of going through old disco hits and making them Madonna songs makes him a bit of a one trick pony. Not that I think Pharrel or Timbaland is better, but whatever.

    She needs a real musician/songwriter to work with.

  3. The show was fantastic. The real highlight was the She's not Me performance. That one really tore it down. There's no denying she's a phenominal performer, to the extent that my aunt actually thought the performance of Candy Shop was great and she absolutely hates that song.

    But i would say that the Toronto crowd was a little disappointing compared to the Re-invention tour, though i would not say it was dead. In fact I would say the audience was great considering most of the people were over 40.

    And as unfortunate as it is, it appears that everyone would rather Madonna spoon feed her greatest hits to them as opposed to putting on a great elaborate stage show. She could make her job a lot easier for herself if she wanted, but she always challenges herself which is very impressive.

    And p.s. Give it 2 Me is a great closer. It was hilarious at the end when they played Holiday and everyone thought she was going to come out for an encore; she's got to stop that!
