I wonder if some of the love for Rebel Heart is due to it (and WAOM) being the first new music we'd heard from her since MDNA? Generally the first track we'd hear would be the first single and we'd have months of listening to it before the actual album would come out. This time around the RH demo came first and everyone listened to that instead.
Petitions and stuff like this seem like a bit of overkill though. May as well go and start one for her to release Love Spent.

I actually thought this was true til I watched the video proper!! I was going to say WTF! Lol
-
I was asking people who listened to the demos AFTER the album came out. Didn't mean for this to be a shit fight over which version of the songs were better because isn't that all personal opinion.
And I always find it dubious when people make claims like "if she released *this* song it would've been a massive smash." Weren't people running around saying that about LFL? And didn't people say the exact opposite for HU? (It's too "gay" it's too disco the abba sample is too prominent etc)
Anyway we were very lucky to have so much material this time around. Unfortunately not with her blessing. Ultimately though I'm more than happy with the album we got and it's still top 3 for me!
-
I get that she's taking the piss because everyone says that she shouldn't wear them, but I wish she didn't wear them SO much! It's nothing against her, I don't like them on anyone really. The gold tooth was cool though.

Who cares tbh
Like really who HONESTLY cares

Nothing Lasts Forever is life itself. Better than Best Night.
One of my favorite RH tracks but BN is still king for me. Such a great beat to NLF!!
Also cant say I agree with the Avicii demos being "better". I much prefer the album versions simply because I find his sound already dated. Glad they made no appearance on the album proper! "Urban" Madonna all the way for me.
-
I wouldn't write off all the "demos" straight away because even she said that she wasn't sure which versions she should ultimately put on the album. Some of them are clearly incomplete but others could have easily been on the album.
I'm not prepared to replace the album versions with the alternate versions because I feel Rebel Heart is pretty perfect as it is. I am happy to listen to the demos in addition to the official stuff though.
I've said it before but I think she has a really great opportunity to be innovative as an artist by releasing these demos in some form. Like a "Madonna - Evolved" where she can select several specific songs and release the outtakes, alternate versions, remixes etc in one complete "package" for each and she could discuss the process of making the song and how it evolved to its final form? It wouldn't make her money necessarily but it could contribute to her "legacy". It would probably be a lot of work so I doubt she has time or if she'd really want to anyway.

LFL connection?
Not so much connection but a lot of people referenced the early house sound of LFL and that it reminded them of parts of Rescue Me.
-
Seems a bit random to reference it in an Insta post for no reason. Must be on her radar for some reason. I know a lot of people made the LFL connection early on so she might've picked up on it. Maybe a mashup?! Look forward to hearing it though if it is performed!
-
Just wondering if anyone who didn't listen to the demos initially has gone back and had a listen?
I listened to the unreleased tracks of which "Nothing Lasts Forever" and "God is Love" are my favorites, but I'm finally getting the chance to listen to the demo versions of the released ones. (They are on youtube!)
Surprisingly I found the demos just as good as the released versions and in only one instance (so far) better. (Illuminati).
The Devil Pray demo is pretty great and I don't mind Holy Water. Would've been happy with either version. Hold Tight demo has some better parts but some average parts so I'm divided on it right now.
Thoughts?
-
Finally heard the demo version!! The demo kicks ass too. Love the "cowboy western" sound to it! Both versions are pretty ace. She easily could've put both version on the album like she did for Love Spent on MDNA! Still a killer track. My top 2 with Best Night.

Her fans are becoming worse than fucking monsters. Whiny, entitled cunts. Harden up.

Dana aka whosthatgirl got a job as a Grammys seat filler just so she could try to meet Madonna. Security kicked her out when she tried to approach Madonna.
Afterwards she complained about this little girl being photographed with Madonna saying it's unfair she was allowed to take a picture with her and she wasn't. 
I know she means well, but remember when she did yoga outside M's house?
-
WOW. Can't believe how shit the demo is. Hahahahaha wtf?! It's so bad!!
-
Still my number 1 album track. LOVE IT. The beat is fucking killer and her voice is amazing. I can't get enough! Need to find the alternate version!!

Surrender to the pleasure (wanting)
When we breath in together (waiting)
It's either now or never (for you)
This feeling will take over
No sex tapes, no camera (wanting)
Just you and me together (waiting)
Repeat it like a mantra (for you)
I'm in love, I'm in love
:inlove: -
One of my favorite TV shows! I always recommend it to people!
-
How many old non single tracks has she performed on new tours. Not many. I think the likelihood of performing something like beautiful killer would be very slim.
-
Hahaha I said the same until this morning I found myself crying at Messiah. Its such a flawless album.
I think right now BS, RH and maybe Erotica are my top 3. RH is a kick ass album, sadly though it looks like it will be severely under-rated in the long run.
I wonder if Madonna even remembers the non single tracks on BS. LOL
-
It seems like the odd album out as it never got a "proper" tour. Even I'm Breathless had tracks make it on BA! She's even hit up the Evita soundtrack more!!
Inside of Me
Forbidden Love
Love Tried To Welcome Me
Sanctuary
..all kick ass tracks!!
Call me silly but you know what other song really fits in with RH? Love Don't Live Here Anymore. I've never really ahd a thing for this track but listening to how she sings it with so much emotion and to know this came out on LAV it's really strange how she was never considered a "vocalist."
-
Just wondering if anyone has gone back and had a listen after listening to RH?
It sounds so good. It is probably my favorite album or at least top 3, so I always enjoy putting it on, but it fits so great with the RH tracks. Her voice is so good on this and the tracks really hold up after 21 years!! For some reason I get the same vibe from the tracks that I do from RH. It's kind of sexy and romantic. Anyway I hope we get some more tracks on this tour from this album.
Seriously I think "A beast within" style opening montage to Sanctuary would be pretty fucking sweet. I know it would be really unlikely but Forbidden Love would also be pretty cool to hear.
Even though it's not on this album, I Want You would be pretty fucking spectacular too.

This is annoying as fuck.

Pretty much. Even if it's just a track here or there.
