I thought it was a good performance. I liked the special effects and the staging. I honestly didn't think her vocals were that bad at all.

Sorry if this has already been posted. Interview at about 2:22:00 and performance at 2:44:00.

Is it just me or are all these songs slowly creating the Madame X album universe...itâs slowly becoming more clear. All these different sonic genres meshed with a solid production and her knack for melodies, to fuse together a âfuturistic worldâ record...
i think this is the best use of a new vocal technique+vocoder. It was hard to digest but the more you listen, the more ambitious and experimental it feels.Â

Love it. The lyrics. The trumpets. The Don't Tell Me reference. I think Madame X will end up being one of my favorite albums of all time. And to think she's this far in her career and can still produce such incredible music. While I loved RH (top 3 for me) this era keeps blowing me away. It's a reminder why I love her so much. There is no one like her.

Yep love it. Damn they sound so good together. Between this and Medellin, I feel like he is her best collaborator. This sounds like a hit to me. The lyrics are so good especially the outro. Regardless if it's on her album or his, I really think it needs to be a single. We are getting so spoilt this era. She has not put a foot wrong with anything. Can't wait for "Bitch I'm Loca".

This definitely more sounds reggaeton like compared to MedellĂn. The clip sound great though. The first part is a different song right? Or is it all Soltera?

Thanks for the scans. Great interview, only wish it was longer.
The photos are incredible.

True. Am seeing rave reviews everywhere on this forum. We are not even getting the trolls which is fantastic. Noticed a lot more trolls when Rebel Heart was released. Â
In general I'm seeing a lot of positivity about the entire Madame X era. Not just here but in the media in general. It feels like most people actually want her to succeed. I think that there is such a drought in creativity from the current artists that Madame X is a refreshing change. People are actually recognizing her artistry.
-
BTW is it strange we haven't been told of a video date? Medellin had a big release but there is no news about a video for the "official" first single unless I've missed it?
-
I feel like the verses are the best part. The lyrics are legit.

After spending the day listening to it I think  this is my favorite track of all three so far. Canât stop listening. Even more so than MedellĂn.Â

Current time In Melbourne, Australia

Song came out (legally) at midnight. Do people not understand time zones?

The âOoohsâ remind me of the chorus of âVeni, Vidi, Vici â

It's actually quite a sweet and hypnotic song.
  The lyrics and song
are addictive. It's stuck in my head... MADONNA &Â Swae Lee voices together are
AFâŒ
Yeah I agree. The lyrics are incredibly sweet and I think she sounds amazing. I really like sound of the music too. Especially the guitar at the beginning.
She has yet to disappoint me with any of the tracks released so far. I would probably say I Rise is the weakest of the three though.Â

Yes, the prices in Europe are also very high. I have to buy a new parfum, how is Vetiver Extraordinaire? Is it too classic?
Itâs a woody fragrance which I prefer. Try this site for review / description.Â

I'm a bit 50-50 on the Emma Gonzales sample but the song itself is great. Love her voice on it and the overall message of the song. Two for two so far. I don't want to jinx it but I'm starting to think she's about to deliver another masterpiece. Everything is blowing me away this era.

Absolutely killing it. The pictures are amazing and I love the reference to Anne Sexton. The article looks like it will be a great read too. Really liking the positivity from BV.

Yes
right and I foresee raising sales for "portrait of a lady" parfum.
Itâs not a cheap perfume. In Australia it retails for $500 for 100ml. Its actually very nice too although my favourite Frederic Malle perfume/cologne is Vetiver Extraordinaire.Â

Bill, I think you should not look at charts anymore concerning artists like Madonna. I mean, nobody expects Bruce Springsteen's new single to be number one. However, people expect quality and surely good opening numbers. For years I stopped looking at charts regarding veteran acts. I didn't pay atenttion during Rebel Heart, never expected any song to chart. Same with Madame X singles.
I think Madonna is focusing on hyping the album, something that is really working on favour of artists these days. I guess that is why we get I Rise on Friday and maybe the new single next week! I may be wrong because I am not in Madonna's head, of course, but I think she's calculating the exposure, views, etc in order to get new fans and having a succesful tour!Â
I agree.Â
The other issue working against her is radio wonât play her. Her streaming numbers arenât much different from other acts that chart but they get additional support from radio while she doesnât. That most disappointing part of that is her music is still better than most of the crap they do play.

I thought that was Diane Von Furstenberg?

Great new article from NME, apologies if this has been posted elsewhere.
The ages of Madonna â the evolution of an icon

Great performance. It felt really joyous and happy. Love her and Maluma together. He seems so genuinely happy to be performing with her and I think thatâs part of the reason they have such great chemistry.Â

Madonna's CONTROVERSIAL & SHOW-STOPPING Eurovision performance
in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum

Damn almost 40 years in and a Eurovision performance has ended her career. Who would've thought.
Seriously the hysteria by the media and some members here is next level.
