    MDNA #1 in 50 countries

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    It's all been so low-key. I know the discussion at the moment is US-based, but it's even worse in the UK. At least the US had Superbowl (massive promo) and GMAYL went Top 10 (even if it was "bought").

    In the UK GMAYL was a complete flop; no one saw the Superbowl apart from hardcore fans (1:00am on Sunday anyone?) and no one even knows she has a new album out. I was playing it today at work and one of my colleagues asked, "Oh I didn't realise she had a new album out." She did like "I'm Addicted" though.

    SIGH! Again, it's either M or InterScope/LiveNation to blame. I know she's busy with the rehearsal, but she should be put a week just to promote her shit. As fans, we did our best, i guess.

    Perhaps they already know the number of how many albums were sold and how far ahead from Lionel's new album, that's why they don't even budge. Trying to be optimistic here.

    Madonna's 'MDNA' is potent stuff

    Madonna is a bitch out of order, a bat out of hell and a fish out of water. At least that's what she compares herself to in the song "Gang Bang," off her brand new album, "MDNA." The album officially comes out tomorrow, though it leaked online late last week. Madge's claim about being broken, angry and alienated is a succinct self-analysis.

    It's been four years since her last album of new material, the longest gap of her nearly 30-year career, which would explain the fish-out-of-water feeling.

    As far as the bitch out of order and the bat out of hell, her venomous personal lyrics on this album make it difficult to distinguish Madonna, the pop legend from Madonna, the mortal whose eight-year marriage to director Guy Ritchie ended in a bitter divorce.

    "I tried to be a good girl, I tried to be your wife," she sings on "I Don't Give A."

    This confessional intimacy makes it difficult to criticize Madonna for imitation, which she does indulge in a bit on "MDNA." To that charge, the material girl is just as much of a smart shopper as she's always been, using the baddest guest stars (including Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.) and the best producers (including Martin Solveig) to bring her sound into now. If she can't define the times, she's certainly not going to be behind them. And really, anybody she's borrowing from wouldn't be making music if it weren't for her. The racecar basslines and Skrillex-style monster breakdown would seem forced if not done properly. But it's Madonna, and even if she is a fish out of water, she can always get into the groove.

    Guy O. Should cancel it, copy some of the nastiest tweets from Mongsters and call out THAT THING on her hypocrisy with her anti-bullying lies. Would be Atomic on her image.

    they should cancel the twitter chat and move it to facebook instead. when you search #askmadonna, there's a lot of garbage and hatred out there. there's no way they can beat 20 million lost soul lil monsters.

    it turns out #AskMadonnaAboutGaga :rant:
