I listen to it more than Love Spent tbh.

Very funny. NOT.
Wow, can't take a joke? I thought everyone here has quite a good sense of humor. I guess not.

Why are you obsessed with your flop thread? It's over, it's gone, get over it and start another elimination thread to get over the huge tragedy and loss.
Um, I wasn't the one that started the elimination threads. And my thread wasn't a flop until "several" people started to bash others based on their opinions and called them flop fans, but good...if you think it was a flop then don't come in there when it reopens.

Not "cheesey" but very literal. Madonna is a rebel, yes, but at this point she doesn't have to say it.
Yeah, I'd prefer something like Candy Heart tbh. She loves candy after all...
or "Sex Drops"Rebel Heart is perfect, you guys need to sit down and stop judging something based on it's cover/title.

Let's hope she'll sing her best songs Human Nature, Candy Shop, Hung Up, Vogue, Like a Prayer, Ray of Light, Music and La Isla Bonita again and ignores all the other songs from her catalogue.

This should be mentioned in the Unpopular Madonna Opinion Thread! Oh wait...
-
But Human Nature is her new signature song doncha know, so what better song to end on.
Yes, Human Nature and her HC-hit single Candy Shop. (Does she even know that the latter one wasn't even a single or is she in denial?)

This is fucking AMAZING!!! Wow...I'd probably make it a little longer and mix it with some other articles and reviews for the albums/songs. Other than that it's absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for!Hmm, I can't think of anything like that either. I've included a write up for the whole decade I just made below. I didn't account for the length or number of characters of the original, so it may not format well. Just so you know, I wrote about the songs and albums in chronological order because it fits the biography format better. Of course, this is just a rough draft, so please feel free to add any corrections or revisions you think would make it better. Let me know what you think!
If the 80s were a non-stop, roaring period of success for Madonna, then the 90s contained some of her greatest challenges but also much of her most artistically rich and important work yet. The decade arguably kicked off with the provocative Sex book, accompanied by the naughty song Erotica featuring the alluring alter-ego Dita, igniting a reactionary furor among the media and conservative right the likes of which have never been seen before or after. Unfortunately, the commotion over the book obscured the wonderful album Erotica (1992), including gems such as the house anthem Deeper and Deeper, the euphoric ode to love of Rain, and the poignant ballad Bad Girl. If Erotica was about sex, then Bedtime Stories (1994) was about love, featuring soft, sultry songs created with top R&B collaborators like Dallas Austin and Babyface. The mysterious Secret showed a new side of Madonnas music, while the grand Take A Bow featured one of the most cinematically breathtaking music videos ever made. Human Nature was a direct comeback to Madonnas critics and a mission statement of her lifes work - express yourself, dont repress yourself. Meanwhile, the hypnotic Bedtime Story foreshadows the groundbreaking electronic music she would make later in the decade. The touching Youll See is one of the finest of Madonnas shamefully overlooked ballads, featured in depth on the dedicated compilation Something To Remember (1995). The middle part of the decade would bring one of her biggest artistic risks yet - starring in the film adaptation of Evita (1996), Andrew Lloyd Webbers broadway musical about the tragic life of Argentinian icon Eva Peron. The triumphant Dont Cry For Me Argentina is a testament to Madonnas tour-de-force performance and showcases her strengthened vocal range from vocal training for the movie. At the same time, motherhood and a new outlook on life would inspire her to create the electronica masterpiece Ray of Light (1998), presenting a totally new Madonna to the world. The album features the haunting, soaring ballad Frozen and the exuberant, dance floor ready Ray of Light, as well as other highlights like the introspective ballad The Power of Goodbye and the pulsing, electrifying Nothing Really Matters. This compilation also includes the supremely joyful soundtrack single Beautiful Stranger, originally created for the comedy film Austin Powers. Fueled by the success of Ray of Light, Madonna next created the even more experimental, dance-oriented Music (2000), starting off with the smash hit Music which reaffirmed her unrivaled ability to create unstoppable dance anthems. The album also featured the trippy, defiant Dont Tell Me and the thought-provoking feminist ballad What It Feels Like For A Girl, which included a controversial music video directed by new husband and film director Guy Ritchie. GHV2 ends with the new single Paradise (Not For Me), unlike anything else in Madonnas catalog and an indicator of a totally new musical direction. The songs Asian-inspired video takes the viewer into a mysterious, absorbing exotic world and reaffirms her status as the greatest audiovisual artist of her time. More than 18 years into her career, Madonna is still creating fascinating, innovative songs and videos and we hope that you, like us, cant wait to see what she does next.

Yes, it was a tired Daft Punk sound mixed with Confessions that she's done already....... but I liked it and wanted it to be true. Oh well.
I think that's "SuperPOP" you're referring to.

What a beautiful idea to have Paradise as single for the compilation and imaginery for the packaging. Beautiful!
Thanks, karbatal! I think Paradise and the whole geisha thing was the perfect imagery of 90's Madonna. Sensual, spiritual & mature.
Great artwork! I loved the original cover, but hated the back cover. They should have just used another DWT promo pic.
One thing I really liked about GHV2 was DW/SFL being included on the tracklist. I would remove DCFMA and add it instead.
I had it on the tracklist for quite a while, but I think since this album is already quite ballad-heavy I wanted to have more energetic and more memorable songs. I personally think that NRM is much more remembered among Madonna fans than DW/SFL. They're both great tracks nevertheless, but NRM also serves a better transition from BS to Paradise.

I like how you have a page devoted to the Erotica era. Were you going to do a page like that for each era? I think it's a good idea.
I also LOVE the red/pink color scheme. It's beautiful!
Thanks, buddy.It's an amzing artwork... 1000000 better than the original.
I notice that in the last 2 pages you put pictures only from the erotica era. Was that on purpuse.
Yup, that was on purpose. I'm a control freak and I want a GH compilation to be a sort of retrospective, at least in terms of imagery. And I hated that there was no chronological order in the collage, as well as 80's pictures of Madonna being mixed in, when this should've focused on her 90's tracks ONLY! I'm gonna make a collage page for each era.
It looks awesome! My only suggestion would be to get rid of the Dan Cadan liner notes and replace them with something new. I've never found it funny - it seems like the sophomoric humor of Guy's mates.
Ugh, me too! I'd love to have an article about each era to be featured as liner notes. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything like that. Any suggestions?
i love the artwork and the colors! gorgeous!
Thank you so much! I chose red, because I wanted it to be complimentary to the Immaculate Collection.
Awesome artowrk !
Thank you! -
It's crazay! Even if I think hating on LAP is pure insanity, I don't think that person shouldn't be a fan.
Exactly. I love LAP and I think it's one of her best if not her best song, but I understand if people don't like it or prefer other stuff. Madonna's catalogue is so full of different types of genres and so is her fanbase. Many of us seem to have quite a different taste in music and if someone became a fan of hers during the 90's and thus can't relate to her 80's stuff, then let him.

Sorry. Hahaha I have to admit that I was hardcore stanning during the HC era, lol. I was rooting so hard for Beat Goes On, Candy Shop and DWRY to become singles and ended up being really pressed over Miles Away and Give It 2 Me getting it. The latter one has never been a fav of mine but the video and the single release made me hate it even more, eventhough I keep catch myself jamming to it and singing along, lol.Girl, YASSS!
Girl, what?
...girl bye.
Hard Candy is an excellent album, with great and well-produced tracks! (Many of them had huge hit-potential) Unfortunately, it was Madonna's last Warner record and thus resulted in her not really being too passionate about promoting it the way it should've been.
-
It's hilarious. Bunch of people convincing themselves that they're Madonna fans. Quite embarrassing really.
You don't have to like everything Madonna does to be a fan. Get your shit together, girl. You being pressed over people expressing UNPOPULAR opinions is what's actually giving me a headache, lol.
Or shall we all try to be Little Madonsters that scream Yaaaassss at everything Madonna does, even when we think it's shit? No thanks. I'd rather be considered a flop fan than having to pretend to like everything she shits out.
-
Now there is this 'cultural appropriation' shit going on. Man, I'm not that old (23), but I miss the days when people weren't a bunch of fucking sensitive pussies.
Do you mean how people are being called racists for adapting elements or imagery from different cultures in their videos/performances?
-
This looks so good, really. Amazing job!
Thank you!

MPowered, look at my new siggy. It's soooo powerful
Ugh I love it!!! Gosh, Madonna perform that fucking song on tour already!!! She was gonna perform it on RIT apparently and it has been considered for inclusion on S&S too, I think. A travesty has never really gotten it's time to shine.
This, and "Rain". When Madonna went Japanese, she could never do any wrong.
Rain is one of my favourite videos of her!!!
-
I would replace Cherish with the single mix of Keep It Together actually, it flows so much better with Vogue. CHerish sounds like a True Blue leftlover.
It does! I finally came to appreciate Keep It Together more than I did a few years ago. It's perfect, actually.
-
TUTBMP doesn't belong to ANY "hits compilation" although it went to #1 in the US
It's one of her 'obscure hits' like Angel, True Blue, Who's That Girl, Causing A Commotion, Keep it Together, Rescue Me...
Agree. The ones mentioned by Fighting Spirit would've probably been less obscure if they had music videos. But TUTBMP remains the most obscure of them all and one of the least remembered tbh, eventhough it had a video.
-
The artwork is just...
But I wouldn't use any images of Madonna on the cover, so that it looked like a better companion to The Immaculate Collection. I would cut Paradise, since it was never a single. I'd also put the tracklist in chronological order (since TIC was) and replace a song with TUTBMP, because I just LOVE A League of Their Own!
Sorry if it seems like I've been too critical!
Thanks! No, that's absoultely fine!
I put Paradise (Not for Me) on there, because I wanted it to be the "new song" on the album. I think GHV2 could've been promoted better if there was a single release to back it up and Paradise seemed like a smart choice to me since the release of GHV2 coincides with the release of the DWT DVD and because it already had a video. Another option would've been Impressive Instant, but I prefered the Geisha concept of the Paradise video for the artwork so I went with that.
I didn't want to put This Used to Be My Playground or I'll Remember on the tracklist, because they were already released on STR and I though putting them on GHV2 as well would've been overkill.
-
NO WAY Erotica sounds more dated than LAP. NO FUCKING WAY.
In my opinion it does. But let's agree to disagree since this is the "unpopular opinion thread", okay?
If you love "B-day Song", do raise your hand!

Anyway, people (mods and forum "gods") have been making troll/mock threads all the time. It's nothing special...but if people actually agree with this topic, why not keep it? It's their opinion and they're entitled to their opinion, even if it's an opinion not many people share.
