    I guess I'm in the minority, but I didn't care for the Vogue performance. She looked great, but all she did was walk around.

    I would have preferred Some Girls, but I agree that Vogue was good to have for the general audience that didn't know the new songs.

    I would have loved Falling Free, but wouldn't have removed Like A Virgin or Masterpiece. It could have been squeezed in somewhere. :)

    I would really love Mark "Flood" Ellis to work with Madonna

    Oh wow. Really weird. I got an error after I made the thread, but then I saw it was posted so I didn't check it. Sorry! LOL

    Anyway, I originally said that most of time when I look at the liner notes of an album that I love, Flood is involved in some way. I would love for him to work with Madonna. He doesn't have to be producer. Most of his credits involve engineering and mixing. I think he's incredibility talented.

    I thought about this because I was listen to New Order's album Movement and looked it up on Wikipedia. I thought to myself, "Oh look. There's Flood again!" :)

    • 1993: U2 - Zooropa (Mixing, Loops, Engineer, Producer)

    • 1994: Tom Jones - The Lead and How to Swing It (Producer)

    • 1997: U2 - Pop (Producer, Keyboards, Mixing)

    • 1998: Barry Adamson - As Above, So Below (Producer, Mixing, Instrumentation, Theremin)

    • 2002: Echoboy - Giraffe (Producer)

    • 2012: Foals - Holy Fire (Co-Producer & Co-Mixing)

    This person needed to calm the fuck down. :lol:

    Yeah. He was very intense with his hatred for this release, but I can understand. Considering who Madonna is and the massive amount of hits she has, she deserved a proper hits collection and that's not what Celebration is. I do like how technical he is with the review though. A lot of songs were butchered for no reason. Radio edits exist and could have been used instead.

    I have the dvd... it was the first thing I ever bought of M's (I felt she finally deserved some of my money), the quality is patchy, the censoring is just silly and it is only missing six fucking videos (Everybody, NRM, Oh Father, Bad Girl, Fever, DW/SFL) which could have been put on because at this quality they can't be using all the dvd space. Again, like everything else about the project it is just sloppy... but it's nice to have most of the videos all in one place and the upscaling on my bluray player makes it bearable.

    Yeah, I stayed away from the video collection when I heard about the quality. Why did they use single layer DVDs?!

    What glitches? :ohmy:

    http://requiem4adream.wordpress.com/2009/09/19/celebration-a-retardation/

    MUSIC - MASTERING ERROR: multiple digital pops and clicks that are not part of the original recording can be heard throughout this song.

    DIE ANOTHER DAY - MASTERING ERROR: Track fades up late due to the incorrectly placed track index on the American Life album. This is ridiculous. The unaffected album version appears on both the US Promo CD single and the Die Another Day film soundtrack, all Warner Bros. releases.

    HOLLYWOOD - MASTERING ERROR: Track starts abruptly and end of “American Life”‘s fade out is audible.

    EVERYBODY – FAKE EDIT

    This uses the full length, original 12″ version as its starting point (as did the official 7″ single version), but is structured differently. While the overall idea for this edit wasn’t horrendous, whoever was placed in charge of actually executing the edits needs to be tortured. Slowly… painfully.

    DRESS YOU UP – FUCKED UP INTRO

    What the hell happened here? This isn’t a mix variation so much as a mastering error… the album version started late with severe tape pinch/phasing issues right at the top. Of the four beats on the intro, all but the fourth are missing.

    EXPRESS YOURSELF – FAKE FUCKING FUCK.

    The most offensive. In a failed attempt to kindofsortof recreate the video version, they have taken the complete intro straight off of the Local Mix, “zipper” included. The actual, official video version starts at the percussion and is specially mixed to have echo on the line “Do you believe in love…” which is dry on the Local Mix and therefore not present here. This new monstrosity then incorrectly cuts to the 7″ Remix/Edit version and then again where they have BUTCHERED the song right at the bridge. A bad edit jumps the track from the end of the chorus to the repeat of the bridge which kills the structure of the track. This version is unlistenable.

    CHERISH – FAKE EDIT

    The original album version cut to the length of the super-short Immaculate Collection version. AMATEUR doesn’t begin to describe how bad these edits have been executed. Poor edits result in creating entirely new lyrics! How about this chestnut… “Can’t get away, I won’t let to” ?! They render all prior complaints about bad edits on Madonna’s releases void. Again, unlistenable. In the cases of “Express Yourself” and “Cherish,” why not just use the fucking Q Sound remixes?! They’re the exact same length as the fake edits and it’s not like there aren’t 6 others from that release present here.

    EROTICA – FAKE Radio Edit

    The edit points are around the same places as the OFFICIAL radio edit, but are poorly executed. The worst is around 3:30… they cut a beat late making for one of the sloppiest moments on this royalfuckupofacompilation. I don’t understand why this needed to be recreated as the official edit appears on countless singles and 2001′s GHV2 compilation. Oh. And the “surface noise” on the end of “Erotica” overlaps the beginning of “Justify My Love”.

    DON’T TELL ME – FAKE Radio Edit

    The least offensive/noticeable fake edit, but incorrect nonetheless. The true radio edit was a unique mix for the very last second that does not feature the “whimsical strings” tag. For Celebration, they have chopped off the end, but the first millisecond of this tag is audible.

    The 2 disc version is on Amazon for $12, which is a good deal, but I have a question:

    Did they fix all the errors or is it still a glitchy mess?

    By the way, the main reason I'm considering getting this is for "Into The Groove." I've been listening to it on repeat lately and would love to have the original version.

    I wish "Like A Prayer" and "You Can Dance" were remastered. I would pick those up as well.

    Madonna on an arcade Game

    The only video game that Madonna was actually in was Snatcher for the Sega CD. The game takes place in the future. It's similar to the film Blade Runner. She's at the 1:35 mark. They replaced her with Marilyn Monroe in the other versions.

    If you investigate the poster, this is what it says:

    This looks like a poster from the late 20th century.

    What? You know who she is? You've got good taste for a youngster.

    This is very old. This kind of printing technology hasn't been used since the last century.

    Keep your hands off that, will ya'. It's gettin' pretty fragile.

    Just how great is Music (the song)?

    it reminded me of the first album, particularly Everybody.

    I felt the same way. I remember downloading it on Napster the summer of 2000. I was shocked when I heard it because it reminded me so much of Everybody and I never thought that would happen with a new Madonna song. :) It has become a real signature song for her, just like Vogue.

    I went to the exhibit, It was really cool. I definitely would love for her to do something similar in the future. The book was around $350. They had one on display. It used onion skin paper. Very thin and fragile. If you bought it there, it came in a cardboard box. This is the version of X-Static Process that was played during the exhibit. I remember being disappointed that this version wasn't on the album. LOL

    I was at Tower. Didn't get an autograph. I was pissed. Went back to Tower and gave my name and address. They gave me a 4'x4' lightbox print. I chose the N.

    A few weeks later, I got a package from Boy Toy Inc. It was the X-Static Process book with no cardboard sleeve. It was autographed and personalized. Woo hoo for me!

    I was thinking of selling this stuff, but not sure what to charge. I don't want to rip people off, but I also don't want to under sell it. I was going to put the book on Amazon, but none of the ones on there are autographed, so does that mean that mine is worth double?

    Original Crazy for You

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    I found this interesting. It's an interview with Jon Lind, one of the writers of Crazy For You.

    http://www.songwriteruniverse.com/jon-lind-123.htm

    Early on, I wrote "Crazy For You" with John Bettis. We got a script for a movie called Vision Quest. We read the script, and John and I wrote the song in one long day. The movie studio fell in love with it and wanted a new artist named Madonna to record it, and perform it in the movie. John and I had no idea who she was! Phil Ramone produced it, but as it turned out, the release of Vision Quest was delayed for 58 weeks. The storyboard of the film was very similar to the first Karate Kid movie. Vision Quest was about wrestling instead of karate.

    During this 58-week delay, Madonna released “Holiday”, “Borderline”, “Lucky Star” and became the biggest artist in the world. She was on the cover of Time, Rolling Stone and Billboard. Then one night, I was in a restaurant. A friend saw me and came up to me enthusiastically and said, "Congratulations, I just heard 'Crazy For You' and it’s Madonna’s next single.” I found out from her that the song had been re-produced by Jellybean Benitez. This was one of those great moments where a songwriter realizes “there is a God”. The song became Madonna’s first #1 ballad.

    Madonna To Present GLAAD award to Anderson Coooper

    AC is fine, however.. IMO it should be the other way around and Madonna should get a long deserved award. I think she deserves it more than anderson. I know, he probably choose to stay private about his PRIVATE life (as others here explained before me) but Madonna has done so much for the gay community for over 30 years now.. and she is giving someone ELSE an award? this almost feels like an insult.

    I agree.
