I think it's easily better than Confessions.This one has more ''tooth'' if that's the appropriate word for it.
While I really listened to Confessions a lot at the time, I find myself passing over it most of the time.

The nerve of you. Don’t bloody watch the interviews. I swear it’s lame ass “fans” like you that are really the worst.
Stupid shit like this, and the sheer volume of it online really gets my goat.
You get the “M.o.r.o.n.” badge of the week.
She already had a bad reputation among the general public, if they think she's acting like bitch it's not gonna inspire them to check out madame x

My favorite album since Music, I think I even like it better than Confessions.
-
On the streaming, I guess Quavo/Swae Lae's fans didn't bother to check out the songs. Looks like Anitta's DID, particularly in Brazil.
On the flip side, I didn't exactly run throught the above's back catalogue, either.

I’d imagine that as no one asked her about the Eurovision performance in any other interview, it probably was listed as topic non grata. He probably breached that agreement, which is why he was immediately shut down. She had ample time to address what he was masking in euphemism. She was clearly aware of it, and her response of staring him down and playing ignorant was as brilliantly defiant as it seemed steeped in foolish pride. That said, she seemed irritable from the beginning. I can’t imagine how dull it must be to do a press junket for two days, but in all honesty she really doesn’t have to approach her promo this way. She’s chosen to do it in hyper-concentration for over twenty years, and it always seems to try her patience to such a degree that she can come across as frankly rude and condescending.
Really, bitchy interviews aren't doing her any favors. Either do some kick ass performances like she used to do with the MTV awards, or do some sit down interviews with people she likes or feels comfortable with. Or don't do any, pay for some other type of promo like TV ads/billboards, etc.

And they all worship a diva they think should be #1, so it helps if Madonna is discredited and minimalized
-
Just the short videos for I rise and crave were some of the best things she had done in years

Swae was the 7th most popular artist on Spotify

There is just so much out there, it's overwhelming. If you don't like something immediately, you move on. So if they don't want to hear a duet with some old pop star they don't bother.
I'm guilty of that too a lot, though. Like if I discover a new artist i might click on a couple of their top tracks, if I don't like I move on. I don't have to buy a full album and give it a shot like before.
And like sometimes when you'd play an album and always skip a song. Then you forget and hear a few seconds and then you think this isn't so bad. Then eventually that's one of your favorites. I don't have a chance to do this very often anymore

For such an intelligent artist, I am always shocked at how thick her fans are. I don't expect everyone to be a genius but can't you think creatively even for a second?
So you are more intelligent because you want more experimental music?
-
Well, I still prefer her to go in a more pop direction ultimately. Even if radio still won't touch her.
I was a little surprised after all the talk of being inspired by Portuguese music, there weren't a few more acoustic/stripped down songs.
-
I was already over MDNA at this point, although I grew to like some of the songs later. Rebel Heart, the final product, I liked at first but really don't ever listen to.
This one I think I will enjoy for life. Hard Candy I listened to quite a bit the first few months after its release, but only like a handful of the songs now.
Honestly, the is the first album since HC that I actually purchased. Although I streamed the others enough to probably count as a sale.
I like Madame X enough now I understand why people buy collectors/multiple editions now. I would if I could afford!

Ugh I hate Dark ballet and love crave!
I feel like these collabs at least were very well done and inspired vs 4 minutes/GMAYL
-
I like the Future mention, I do think Quavo really elevates the song
-
She looks great but that ART thing ruins the look.
That was kind of cringe when she told the guy in the band he looked grumpy and told Jimmy about being comfortable with his sexuality.
-
Well she partnered with artists who had very big streaming numbers -- Maluma, Quavo, Swae Lae. Obviously it didn't really work, but at least I personally really like all the songs.

The funny part is Rolling Stone picked Rebel Heart as one of their top 5 albums of 2015
Didn't they only give it 3.5 stars?

I figured she on there since it was posted

There is absolutely nothing offensive about this song. Good grief.
I agree, I'm just saying it makes it very easy for people looking to be offended.

These are probably the same people who accuse her of buying her children or adopting them for media attention. When she had actually done some good in the world. I still remember her saying how David was on the verge of dying when she adopted him. Not to mention her other children, or all her charity work.
These people who rip her to shreds to tweet, but don't actually do anything of significance with their lives.
-
That comment about adding something bonkers isn't necessarily bad. At least she's given credit as a producer, and it says Mirwais created a decent run of the mill modern pop record -- not much of a compliment.
-
The lyrics -- I'll be gay, if the gay are burned? If the poor are humiliated? Isreal incarcerated?
But it is a bit offensive. She'll be poor, she'll be Africa. So she's gonna give up all her wealth and move to a third world country? Sure.
She means well, but comes across very badly. The song is bad, and the optics of it are even worse.

Some of these songs are going to a bitch to sing live
She might have trouble figuring out where she is with Come Alive, I Rise, Looking for Mercy since she repeats the lyrics so many times!
