Uh yeah, there are a lot of songs by Hole that are far more legendary to me than Smells Like Teen Spirit
-
SHE'S GOT LUPUS!!
-
Acclaimed by who? Aging grungers from the 90s? Nirvana isn't my cup of tea, but regardless I can appreciate the artistic merit of things that I don't necessarily like. But calling that the greatest song of all time?!? Calling it a song is a even a stretch...
-
Sorry, so nirvana has the greatest song of all time lol?!? What's it called?
-
What a stunning picture of her!!! Never saw that before
-
Vanity Bonet is that you?
Please, Vanity wouldn't know what a Camden or a quid was ...
-
I don't think she looks as she's had major work done recently, she's gained weight like she usually does in between albums, that's all.
lol unfortunately she's gained it all in her cheeks honey
-
Commercial doesn't necessarily have to equal being devoid of any actual artistic or musical value...
-
People really think Lana Del Rey is not commercial ? Like really really for real ?
Who wouldn't want their work to be successful?
-
ROFL @ anyone that thinks madonna isn't a commercial artist concerned with commercial success. Celebrity perfumes, celebrity fashion lines, celebrity gyms...she's not doing those things for the "art" of it! Madonna is way too competitive of a person to not care how successful ANY of her projects are, as evidenced by her recent singles that have been so painstakingly made for commercial success that it sucked the soul out of them completely. Her earlier singles were so successful because they were both high quality songs AND had commercial appeal
-
Yeah,I like the fact that she's getting out there and appearing at awards shows.This type of exposure is important.It creates a "buzz" for whatever she's gonna do next.She needs to continue these high-profile apppearances.
Exactly! That buzz has been missing for quite a while now because of all the "non-traditional promo" , and regardless of how big you are, or how old or young you are, or how great or not you are....out of sight, out of mind with the broader public. Nobody is above that. It's amazing how a couple of minutes at the Grammys has had more people talking about madonna than they have in years. Some of it good, lots of it bad (as usual), but at least people are actually engaged enough to talk about her at all. Buzz is important!! And hopefully she keeps it going to build some momentum again.
-
For starters, it's just great to be getting herself out there in the public eye on a more regular basis like she has been lately. For the past several years, it's only fans/loons that have had any idea what she's up to, so her music just gets overlooked
-
And might I say Production, as an album, is one of the finest achievements in French electronica, Daft Punk included!
-
Try a god damn search on iTunes for starters...

No. It's not like saying Mirwais and Madonna are the same type of artist. First of all, unless I'm mistaken, Mirwais doesn't release his own albums, putting himself front and center. Daft Punk do. Yes, they are producers/writers...but they put themselves out there as artists themselves, with work done in their name, with them front and center-as the 'act'. Not the same as Mirwais, Orbit, etc. (unless I'm unaware of them releasing their own 'solo' work). Secondly, I never said Madonna and Daft Punk were the same type of artist. Of course not. What I was saying was that as much as DP are producers...they are also "artists" in their own right, putting themselves out there as the act (not just the producers 'behind the curtain' in the studio.)
Anyways, my original point had nothing to do with comparing Madonna and Daft Punk. It was using Daft Punk as an example of how "old-school" can become "new-school" - fresh and current ... and commercially successful - if done right. That's all.
Uhm, are you for real, child?? Mirwais and William orbit are both "artists" who both have albums putting themselves out front any centre. Sweet Jesus...

Finally watched this, madonna did a great job and looked waaaay better than the Grammys. Still not quite her usual energy but hey she's getting over an injury. Loved it for what it was!
-
Not a Miley fan AT ALL, but it is great just to be able to see Madonna out there again with some consistency. It feels like it's been forever
-
Well. I don't think dressing like willie Nelson on a Sunday did her any favors, what with the cane and such.
-
Eek, er. She looked 80. But sounded lovely.
-
Jesus. I'm sure they offered her a seat, how can they invite her and not reserve a seat?? Whether she chooses to sit in it or not is an entirely different matter
-
Oh I completely agree with you on that, it's great to be provocative but not at the expense of others
-
I'm not saying she should've done the black madonna thing, but please. She's done plenty of stuff that hasn't gone over well with the masses. Isn't that what we love her for?! I don't see her as ever having done things to try and please the masses in the first place...
-
Jesus people, let's just be happy if she's there at all!! A new song isn't going to happen. The end.
-
I might just draw your attention to the use of the word "speculating" with regards to that list of possibilities...
Deeper and Deeper Number One smash
in ARCHIVE - Madonna

Amazing song, and THIS is how you reference yourself in a cool way. It was like vogue pt. 2 but so much more
