ONE WORD - HOW???????????????
She leaves me speechless.

I was 14 and waiting for this album to come out was the most agonizing experience of my life at the time.
I rushed to the record store in town, after school, went straight home and popped in the stereo. I closed my bedroom door and gave explicit instructions to everyone in family that I was NOT to be disturbed. 
(I still do this with every new album - the first listen is an EXPERIENCE). I unfolded the lyric booklet so I could read along as she was singing. I was shaking with anticipation as I started listening. My expectations and hopes were otherworldly. This was my first new Madonna album. I had been a completely obsessed megafan for just over a year at that time, so I missed out on every new release pre-Erotica. This was truly the biggest thing in my life. All that being said, I cannot lie - initially, I was let down. It took a few listens before I realized its brilliance. I was disappointed, at first, that there was a lot of speaking instead of singing (or, what felt like a lot at the time). I didn't pick up on anything being particularly catchy, like the Madonna I was so used to hearing. But with each spin, I fell deeper and deeper. 
And little did I know then how much her music would change and evolve through the years, and keep getting better.Now, it's forever a part of me. It truly helped define and mold me as a young teenage gay boy, coming to terms with who I was and the man I would become. I owe a great deal of my strength and self-acceptance to this album, and of course, to Madonna in general.

I completely agree!!!

I'm going to need some evidence that your psychic abilities have come to fruition in the past, before booking a plane ticket. -
I'm 95% sure I'm going to Miami. Vegas would just be too much.

FANTASTIC demo.

I don't wanna talk about it right now
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out
I can't be a superhero right now
Even hearts made out of steel can break down
Every revolution starts inside a broken heart
Every new beginning starts when something falls apart
Can't you hear a voice inside that's calling out your name
What you risk is what you value, nothing is in vain
-
You could thread a needle
With a teardrop from my eye
She's a poet.
-
Wow, so many incredible lyrics. She really is an amazing songwriter!!
There are way too many for me to list, but Rebel Heart has some of the best ever:
Who am I to decide what should be done?
If this is the end, then let it come.We're only here to love
Like there's no tomorrow
So let's live each moment like
Our time is only borrowed
Love is pain and pain is art
Show me your graffiti heart
Never say never
Anything is possible
Always been a rebel
Overcoming obstacles
I can't give you perfect
But I can give you forever
I said oh no, I want more
That's not what I'm looking for - what an incredibly powerful line, it gives me chills. This is MADONNA, through and through
So I took the road less traveled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness
Somehow, I survived
Tough love
I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depths
Of my rebel heart
If you try and fail, get up again
Destiny will choose you in the end
If you don't make the choice
And you don't use your voice
Someone else will speak for you instead
What you want is just within your reach
But you gotta practice what you preach
You pay with sweat and tears
Overcome your fears
Never let the fire inside you leave
I can't
Icon
2 letters apart
One step away
From being lost in the dark
Just shine your light
Like a beautiful star
Show the world who you are
Who you are
Yeah, there's another side of you no one sees
There's a burning fire that's underneath
Baby don't you know you were meant to be
Born to be
Meant to be
ICONIC
FUCK YEAH

He is sooo cute! Such a power bottom lol
Oh YES!! He's the one that was making me feel some type of way during UB with his sexy ass moves.
I want him. -
Unplugged?!? Like acoustic??
Yep.
-
I still remember how I felt after hearing this song for the first time. I was listening to the radio and the dramatic intro immediately got my attention. Then the voice kicked in and I realized this is a new Madonna song. Omg I was stunned!! I had no idea she was capable of pulling off a vocal as powerful as this. The "you think that you are strong but you are weak....." part nearly brought tears to my eyes. Her voice was just so perfect! The wait til Evita seemed to drag after this. I was so ready to hear a full album with this "new voice".
On a side note, this time of year always reminds me of this song. That video with the leaves and just the overall sound/vibe of the song is very fall/winter.
All of this!! My very favorite ballad ever. I honestly believe it saved my life.
-
The Unplugged Demo is very cool!
-
So?? What do we think of the new demo that just leaked?
-
She posted on Instagram that it was a night full of surprises. What did she mean by that?
-
Only listing my Top 3 because anything after that changes too frequently.
1) REBEL HEART
2) EROTICA
3) LIKE A PRAYER

Demo 4 not 1 Bill d'amour
It only leaked yesterday

Oh man, my memory is so incredibly foggy. I was 10 years old at the time. My uncle (my mom's younger brother) has lived in NY forever, and we were planning a trip to visit him. A month or so before the visit, he called us to tell us that he got tickets for us the see "the play Madonna is in" because he knew how much I loved her.
As far as the play, I'm pretty sure a lot of the subject matter and dialogue went way over my head, but I do remember just staring at Madonna the entire time in absolute awe. I just couldn't believe that I was in the same room as her!
She looked so beautiful and I thought she did great.
After the performance, we went to wait by the stage door to try to catch a glimpse of her leaving. She eventually came out with Sean and my dad took a couple of pictures (this one being the best):
That moment happened so fast. I remember she practically made a beeline from the stage door to her car. We were standing right by the car.
The day we saw the performance (July 1, 1988) was the same day of the Letterman interview w/her and Sandra, so I'm guessing it was taped that same day?
OH and the next day my family and I were out bouncing around Manhattan and we saw Sean eating by himself at a sidewalk cafe.
So yeah, that's my little story!! Can't believe that was almost 30 years ago.
AMAZING!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
-
Somehow, until yesterday, I missed the very first demo (I guess??) where she sings "I let you in my kingdom" and "you left me with this mess", it has completely different instrumentation. It's GORGEOUS!!!!!!
-
I'll be there, and I am FUCKING EXCITED.
YAY!!! Have an AMAZING TIME!!!!!!!!
