Is that the point ? She could have died years ago (and she sure did to me), it wouldn't change the discussion, would it ?

That was her big thing to say she wanted electronic music to be emotional, yes.
And it was true
But Bjork did make emotional eletro music, did'nt she ?
I bought her Cds before ROL was released. She was all over MTV, winning awards at that time....
Madonna helped then, for sure ! She made hit singles out of electro.
-
I kind of agree with bluejean
Of course she helped popularising eletro with ROL/M but it existed and began to be popular before...
Bjork usend ti be huge, but not a single single of her made it to the top. Frozen did !
The thing that Madonna makes the best (beside from the incredible good tunes) is her ability to change/evoluate. She's been changing her voice, her looks, the production, the messages... what's what keeps the world and pop idolators entertained and sometimes fascinated, because her ability is fascinating.
And she's always herself through it all...

We need some news... desperately...
-
a double album would be great, even if it's 2 separated albums...
isn't Prince doing this soon ?
-
I still haven't listened to superstar or the birthday song in full. *hides* I gave them a try but re-did the CD without them. I don't mind Give me a bucket though. I hope the album will stick to a darker theme.
That is silly.
Superstar is a good song, very catchy, well produced. It's good ! It's intended to be immature/childish...
-
Waiting
Secret Garden
Where Life Begins
This jazz/urban production worked very well... her spoken voice on it was the best... Erotica too, of course.
So much better than Justify My Love to me....
-
If she promoted everytime, it wouldn't be an event anymore.
To be efficient, she must not do it for every album.
Next time she promotes, it might be massive.
-
Even the videos she shoots for her tours are better than what she releases for her music!
Not true for the MDNA era !
-
Can we rely to these sources like Drowned Madonna ?
How can people get access to some tracks ?
If so, they can surely leak...

Pure pop perfection, nothing weird about it, very catchy tune.
Wasted single material, yes.

Madonna has answered this singing crap in the No Bull interview in 1994. No more discussion!
What is this ?
I don't remember/know...

I loved it then, ilove it now. I was living in New york at the time of the album release and yes it's not an album to go to the gym and that's exactly why i love it. It fits perfectly in Madonna's discography broadening her musical landscape. From the cover to the content it's cearly not commercial, i don't know if it was Madonna's intention but she had to release this album at one time or another in her career. I'm very curious to know what the unreleased track "React" sounds like. I love all the unreleased tracks from AL (set the right is probably the only in your face political track from this session). It's clearly not an album made for the top 40 even though Love profusion is a perfect pop track. It's an album neither Britney, Kylie, Gaga or any other pop tart could have made or will ever make. I remember checking the news at the time because it was the Irak war and there was a debate on Fox News about wether or not she should have had her american citizenship revoked. Radio sucked at the time it was painful. It was the beginning of the hip hop overtake and last days of the teeny bopers (thank god). When i returned to France the next i was surprised by how much praises the album got but the musical landscape in Europe was also completly different than in America.
Thank you

Sorry but the single American life didn't have mainstream appeal. Lyrically it didn't connect with people and the song wasn't lead single material. None of the songs on the album were. Which was the main problem. Hollywood is catchy but it's totally second or third single material. The song American Life doesn't have that wow factor of a Like a prayer, Vogue, Music, Frozen, Hung Up etc. How people cannot see that I don't know.
Well, reading this I think that AL (the song) is definetely underrated...
The song is catchy, addictive. It's electronic with a very special acoustic chorus, have punch-line with the rap that everybody knows here.
It was different, edgier, maybe not universal enough but it's still a a very good song to me and the fact that you are saying this, under-rating the song, is totally due to the politic bullshit of that time for I'm convinced that in another context the song would have connected with the masses, would have hit the charts well and you wouldn't be talking bad of it...
The fact that a song can be lead to the top of the charts and connect with the mainstream is not only because of what is the song, but it's a whole bunch of things that make a hit song, the appeal, the airplay, the image of the singer... and so on.
-
I just testify here, I'm not debating. I remember that a lot of US fans, more than others, did hate AL at that time.
I'm glad to see most of fans loving it right now (music critics seem to have gone...)
Of course AL didn't do well commercially and had mixed reviews almost everywhere (also because of the political debate), but yes, there was something specific with the US. From outside the US, I can tell you were were watching bad reviews even on TV coming from America that were very harsh... Much than from anywhere else...

I remember a time when US fans really didn't like AL, some even hated it... so don't you say under-rated by whom !
That was the time when people thought she was anti-patriotic... and yes it threw a shadow over this fabulous record.
Did it grow with time on you ? I guess it did... or maybe these fans left the forum ? there were plenty of them...
Yes, the albums is absolutely great.

It has happened always, and all over the world, not only US.
And teenagers want somebody to identify with, and when we were teenagers we did the same. How many female singers above 40yo were famous when we were teenagers? Tina Turner was called "the grandma of rock" when i was a kid, and she was like 40. Cher was like ANCIENT and she was in her early 40s. And that's all.
Thanks to Madonna, things have changed a lot. Nobody calls old Jennifer Lopez, for example, but Madonna was called old when she was her age. Madonna is opening new paths. Few people say that Kylie is very old, even though she's older as Madonna was when she released Hung Up.
It's true, what you say about M opening new paths.
Not true, tahat ageism is the same everywhere. It seems that she has to struggle more in the US, sorry...

thanks !

Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak
Not the same technical kind of bridge !
There are less bridges than before...

I didn't see the part where the praises get diminished, sorry.
I hope it's not me, cause I didn't do that at all...
