I was 11, and wasn't really aware of the press lashings she was getting. I remember the local kiss station played tracks from the cd before it was released and I happened to catch the tail end of Fever on the radio and LOVED it.
My parents refused to let me buy the cd, so I stole it from the store by undoing the shrink wrapping, taking the cd out of the case and stuffing it down my pants. My favorites were Fever and In this Life, which is weird because now I think they are two of the weaker tracks, and tracks I didn't like back then (where life begins, secret garden) are some of my favorites now.
I still loved the album back then, but I knew I wasn't gonna be playing it on family trips like I did with Like a Prayer. Oh well.

Haha - look it's just my opinion. I think a lot of the songs had potential, but they were ruined by awful awful production and sounded like they decided to just finish the song before they reached the pinnacle of what it could be.
DWRY could have been FUCKING AMAZING. Instead, it's just pretty good. Dance Tonight is a prime example of a song that just sounds utterly lifeless. The production on Voices ruins it, and Heartbeat is ruined by the crow vox.
-
Hard candy was bland and lifeless which was the main problem. It wasn't all Madonna. The production sucked. Thin voice, wan instrumentation. The only great song was Give it 2 Me.
-
Do you think Madonna will have another go on the road where she goes all out w choreography and physicality a la MDNA and sticky, or did she reach the pinnacle and is now going to have more tempered choreographies going forward?
Let me just say I haven't even seen or watch Rebel Heart aside from the Who's that Girl performance, so this is in no way a criticism of her current tour - just a general question.
-
My ranking changes a lot but:
1. Erotica
2. Confessions
3. Ray of Light
4. Music
5. Bedtime Stories
6. Like a Prayer
7. Madonna
8. True Blue
9. American Life
10. MDNA
11. Rebel Heart
12. Hard Candy
13. Like a Virgin
Even my least favorite M album is better than most others best efforts.
-
And North America and Europe and Australia - so I guess Africa or Antarctica will have to be it thenIt's tricky, because we already have concerts officially recorded in both Asia and Latin America
-
For me MDNA had higher highs and lower lows. Rebel Heart is fairly steady for me. Like there's no song that gave me chills the way Gang Bang and Falling Free did. It's consistent. MDNA is half great half throwaway.
-
Beautiful song. If not which one would you say is her best song this decade?
For me, Falling Free is her best and most beautiful song this decade. Gang Bang is probably my second favorite. So fuck all those who hate MDNA!
-
Madonna wants people to love the work, not her. She doesn't revel in people's adulation. It's unhealthy for her fans, and it's unhealthy for her, and she knows that. I'm sure it's a prime reason she's been able to stay sane all these years under the microscope. She knows what's real and what isn't.
Whether the general public is aware of it or not, I think it contributes to her sense of strength as well. After all, it must take a hell of a lot of willpower not to derive a false sense of self from fawning fans. I don't know of any other superstar who's fully able to resist it and then you've got the Mariahs and Gagas who just wallow in it.
-
MDNA probably had the most flexibility of any Madonna tour yet. From adding the snippet of Give it 2 Me in Celebration, to adding full songs like Holiday, Everybody, and Music on select stops, to even adding a show stopping performance like Love Spent.
Do you think Madonna will tinker with this tour as she becomes more comfortable with performing it?
-
I have floor tix on Los Angeles I want to trade for San Diego or Vegas. Anyone down?
-
Unapologetic Bitch needs to be a single. Period
-
Look at sex as being a positive thing despite living in a society that loves to tell people it's wrong
Got into art because of Madonna.
Her stamina is something I always think of if there's a day I don't feel like working out
Speaking my truth even if it's not in accordance with societal views
Practiced yoga
Learned to choose my words wisely. Speak less and what you say has more impact
-
Does merchandise get added into tour gross reports?
-
How long does it take to become legacy?
-
I don't blame her. When a good portion of your time is on the road think about how many public toilet seats you'd sit on.
-
I think you mean Let it Will Be
-
It has to be a well-muscled gay man
-
How's 2nd night comparing to the first? Does it seem any more polished? Kinks worked out?
-
oh man it's gonna be hard to keep from watching videos for 6 more weeks
-
I remember people thought she was scaling back her dancing due to old age back in the DWT days lol. She showed them wrong. She will have to do it someday. Hope we're not there yet - I'd like to think she'll have some fire to prove she can still do it at 60 so we'll see where the next tour takes us.
As for this one, I'm not going to watch any videos - difficult as it may be- until my show in LA in October, so no opinions on it either way.
-
She sings exactly like a spoiled rich girl who took vocal lessons while growing up. No nuance or character.
-
How much time does Madonna spend on the heart. I have two pairs of tickets and not sure which one to get rid of. The first pair is row 1 dead center of the lowest loge. The second pair is in the back of the floor section.
At first I was gonna ditch the floor seats because I didn't think I'd be able to see much, but now it looks like those seats would be fairly close to the heart stage. Any advice based on seeing the show tonight?
-
Her knees look really raw... Hope she's not in too much pain
