For people saying they would never pay to see Cher...I thought the same until I saw her on that never-ending "Farewell Tour". Trust me...it was fucking worth it.
Vocals, stage presence...you name it.... for someone who has lasted over 4 decades, she can perform circles around these pop bitches of today. On top of that, she can sing her face off, and act and tell jokes all at the same time, and have everyone eating out of the palm of her hand the whole show.
As for some saying her music is irrelevant...I call bullshit. She may be seen as over-the-top, camp, a showgirl (which she certainly is)... but she has a good number of songs that are undoubtedly classics in popular music.

I wouldn't mind seeing her in another old-Hollywood look, similar to the IB/Vogue era, but this time with a more stylized modern look...and with inspiration from some eras/ladies she hasn't touched yet (though she has done a lot). Still, so many options. Similar to what she did with the Bettie Paige look for the MET Gala and Purim Party (and not necessarily dark...though I wouldn't mind).

the fuck is this shit?
I am so sick of these "lists"!!!!! Written by men, and probably straight.
-
I actually like the tourbook cover. Very simple. Great color. Cool shot. I wouldn't mind....
-
There HAS to be a Blu-Ray format for release in the US too. I highly doubt they would only sell BR format overseas. That would be ridiculous. The BR format is probably just not up for pre-sale in the US yet.

I love Debi. Unlike so many other "friends" of Madonna that turned their back to talk shit.
Her show on Cooking Channel with her husband, "Extra Virgin", is pretty damn good. Like a mix between reality and cooking show.
I've actually made quite a few of her recipes - ALL fantastic, mind you.
I love when she's talked about getting Madonna to do some maintenance on her eyebrows back in the day, and M being so hesitant. haha.....

Blond Ambition Tour - on a night when she was really bitchy, angry, and cunty as hell (...y'all know what I mean
). Vogue VMAs 1990 - no explanation needed.
-
One of my favorite M songs. period.
-
No. Never. I just don't think anyone today has the guts, or the vision, to properly pull it off. They would probably try, but it would be cheapened somehow. It wouldn't have the guts to go as far as JML really did.
-
Madonna and Pet Shop Boys...
:bow: -
M and Ingrid both look good. I still like seeing the two of them together.

Listen to The Beat Goes On followed by Dance 2 Night
Better yet, create a playlist with American Life and MDNA together on shuffle
You'll hear a big difference in the mixing. More importantly, you'll need to turn the sound up when a MDNA track comes on. Listen for yourself
This will only work properly if your using CD rips or iTunes files.
Ok, I'll try it out... but also, what specifically do you guys hear? Can you explain the details, so I know if I'm on the same page or not, and what to listen for....
-
Ok...can someone explain the difference between "mastering" and "mixing"?
And why exactly did Demo's mixing suck?
And what do you guys think is the perfect example of mastering/mixing in Madonna's work?
just curious....
-
I wouldn't mind a few studio versions as extras. I want the real studio version to "The Erotic Candy Shop".

I agree that the market is there for box sets, remasters, etc. There are a small handful of artists that I've seen do it, and the product is nice.
Some of the rock groups do it, but mainly release their box sets (with remasters, live albums, demos, unreleased, music videos, documentary, etc.) as exclusive digital/itunes releases, with only a smaller production of actual physical collector box sets released.
Some of them are very nice. The Pink Floyd sets are really nice.
There's no doubt that Madonna and her team know artists are doing this, and doing it well. I personally think M doesn't think she's at that stage yet. She's not a nostalgic person, as we know...and I just think new work is her focus.
I do think she'll do them, but she probably wants to be able to spend the time really doing it right, and release them when new work is not as frequent.
That being said, Like a Prayer at least does deserve a basic remaster (by the best studio engineer). If they did the first few albums, why they stopped at LAP is almost like deliberate torture. Why? It was the last one that needed it.
And one of these days, the full Blond Ambition Tour. The fact that the most iconic pop tour of all time is not fully released...esp. the Alek K 'film' version...is kind of fucking crazy.
That would be one box set collection that deserves to show up sooner rather than later. A LAP remaster with extras, demos, documentary featurettes...paired with the full HD remastered Blond Ambition Tour (film version), and the live album of that show.
What a package that would be...
-
Wait a minute...we're getting a 2-DISC LIVE CD ALBUM???????!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF???????????
:ohmy: :ohmy: Not necessarily
Could come sooner
Regardless of the fact that she's releasing the full show on cd
If it's only coming out a month later than originally announced, I don't see why that would push anything back for next year at all.
-
Someone else must be writing Perez's articles. Because he should know well and good that she wasn't trying out looks for the tour...from the looks of it, she was trying out different looks for the MDNA photoshoots.
-
What's the remix used in the video? Does anyone have that (I think I'm missing it)...?
-
It's blocked already.
(I've noticed there's been quite a bit of crackdown on Madonna material lately...more so than usual).
-
They need lives.
They need logic.
-
Oh religion ...

I thought she said "Die fucker!"

The thing about the old rockers is that they do more shows, and often break up their tours into legs that go on for multiple years (sometimes). And they can do that because their show is so different than M's. Not saying playing instruments is not hard work, don't get me wrong...but it's just an entirely different discipline to execute night after night compared to a large-scale song and dance show more akin to musical theater (which probably also costs a hell of a lot more to take around the world). It's almost a totally unfair comparison.
Considering that the rockers are mostly 'legend' acts performing mostly greatest hits, and that they reach these numbers by going out for a much longer time on the road...it really shows how Madonna can still hold her place in their 'club' of ultimate touring acts while not relying on greatest hits, creating an entirely new show each time from the ground up, executing a show that is purely physical on every level, doing pop/dance music (a genre that usually is catered to only the youth). Who else as a solo artist, as a woman, is doing that...? Even if they rank higher than her on some of the overall charts, I think her accomplishments actually mean more...

You know, after I watched this film, I didn't get why people thought it was so bad. At least in terms of acting performances, I thought it was solid. The cinematography was nice. And the music.
I don't think the faults lie with Madonna, or the actors. I think it lies with Guy. I just don't see what makes him that good of a director...at all.
And the script itself was kind of weird. It's hard to feel any sort of empathy for the two main characters (at least 'till the very end)...which, to me, is maybe why no one takes to this film. It was hard to connect to them in any way, in terms of how the characters were written. But considering that, I think the actors, including M, did just fine.
MDNA Tour DVD/Blu-Ray Coming September 9/10

It's not bad. Kind of like it.
Very minimalist. The yellow has a 'caution tape - crime scene' kind of feel. Her expression kind of stares right into you...a bit cold, foreboding.
Considering the art direction of the tour book, tour promo, and album...it's definitely not what I was expecting. Still...much better than a backdrop screenshot.
