Guy is an alcoholic which makes you age.
I miss your brain, the way you think
But I don't miss the the way you used to drink

So while mum is working on her record in London
Rocco and David get to spend some time with dad
Damn Guy Ritchie hasn't aged well. He looks way older than Madonna now.
-
Nope, Mercy's gonna be the star of the family.
I'm pretty sure it's going to be Rocco, actually. He's the most extroverted one of the bunch and really loves dancing, like his dear old mum.

Well I don't think Sambassile is a troll and, unless he's a little monster, don't think he's a candidate for the holy flush.
However, this place isn't a democracy lol
Agreed. I do think he could use a suspension to teach him a lesson, though.

I agree with everything you said except for the fact that Madonna stopped being 'artistic' after Confessions and Not American Life. Confessions is an incredible record.
Everything after that (bar the MDNA Tour) was pure crap crap crap. And don't get me started on Hard Candy, GMAYL and CELEBRATION .... oh hold on, REVOLVER??????? hahahahah
Gotta add that i do have high hopes for the new album, so fingers crossed.
Literally the one time he posts on the Madonna side of the forum is bashing Madonna.

Ugh, me too! I'd love to have an article about each era to be featured as liner notes. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything like that. Any suggestions?
Hmm, I can't think of anything like that either. I've included a write up for the whole decade I just made below. I didn't account for the length or number of characters of the original, so it may not format well. Just so you know, I wrote about the songs and albums in chronological order because it fits the biography format better. Of course, this is just a rough draft, so please feel free to add any corrections or revisions you think would make it better. Let me know what you think!
If the 80’s were a non-stop, roaring period of success for Madonna, then the 90’s contained some of her greatest challenges but also much of her most artistically rich and important work yet. The decade arguably kicked off with the provocative Sex book, accompanied by the naughty song “Erotica” featuring the alluring alter-ego Dita, igniting a reactionary furor among the media and conservative right the likes of which have never been seen before or after. Unfortunately, the commotion over the book obscured the wonderful album Erotica (1992), including gems such as the house anthem “Deeper and Deeper”, the euphoric ode to love of “Rain”, and the poignant ballad “Bad Girl”. If Erotica was about sex, then Bedtime Stories (1994) was about love, featuring soft, sultry songs created with top R&B collaborators like Dallas Austin and Babyface. The mysterious “Secret” showed a new side of Madonna’s music, while the grand “Take A Bow” featured one of the most cinematically breathtaking music videos ever made. “Human Nature” was a direct comeback to Madonna’s critics and a mission statement of her life’s work - express yourself, don’t repress yourself. Meanwhile, the hypnotic “Bedtime Story” foreshadows the groundbreaking electronic music she would make later in the decade. The touching “You’ll See” is one of the finest of Madonna’s shamefully overlooked ballads, featured in depth on the dedicated compilation Something To Remember (1995). The middle part of the decade would bring one of her biggest artistic risks yet - starring in the film adaptation of Evita (1996), Andrew Lloyd Webber’s broadway musical about the tragic life of Argentinian icon Eva Peron. The triumphant “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” is a testament to Madonna’s tour-de-force performance and showcases her strengthened vocal range from vocal training for the movie. At the same time, motherhood and a new outlook on life would inspire her to create the electronica masterpiece Ray of Light (1998), presenting a totally new Madonna to the world. The album features the haunting, soaring ballad “Frozen” and the exuberant, dance floor ready “Ray of Light”, as well as other highlights like the introspective ballad “The Power of Goodbye” and the pulsing, electrifying “Nothing Really Matters”. This compilation also includes the supremely joyful soundtrack single “Beautiful Stranger”, originally created for the comedy film Austin Powers. Fueled by the success of Ray of Light, Madonna next created the even more experimental, dance-oriented Music (2000), starting off with the smash hit “Music” which reaffirmed her unrivaled ability to create unstoppable dance anthems. The album also featured the trippy, defiant “Don’t Tell Me” and the thought-provoking feminist ballad “What It Feels Like For A Girl”, which included a controversial music video directed by new husband and film director Guy Ritchie. GHV2 ends with the new single “Paradise (Not For Me)”, unlike anything else in Madonna’s catalog and an indicator of a totally new musical direction. The song’s Asian-inspired video takes the viewer into a mysterious, absorbing exotic world and reaffirms her status as the greatest audiovisual artist of her time. More than 18 years into her career, Madonna is still creating fascinating, innovative songs and videos and we hope that you, like us, can’t wait to see what she does next.

I will probably get stoned for this but to me Madonna begins her career with Ray of Light album. Before than it was some crazy girl with sex videos and Marilyn Monroe hair.
You deserve to get stoned for that - your words about stoning, not mine. Absolutely pathetic for someone to say they are a Madonna fan and think like that. Madonna was a superstar for years before Ray of Light and was an inspiration for so many people. How can you dismiss her early career like that ? To read that she was just a crazy girl with sex videos and Marilyn Monroe hair is just insulting and not even funny. This thread is seriously depressing.
Damn, when you get jazzyjan (the nicest member of this forum) saying that you should be stoned... Girl, you better watch out!

whats the hangdog look on buckys face? youre with madonna dude, going to best restaurants - CHEER UP!
He probably was upset about the paparazzi. I'd imagine it's very hard to get used to be followed around by cameras and shouting reporters when you lead an otherwise normal life. Also, I always got a shy vibe from Brahim - I think it was hard for him to deal with all of the attention that comes with dating MADONNA.
-
It looks awesome! My only suggestion would be to get rid of the Dan Cadan liner notes and replace them with something new. I've never found it funny - it seems like the sophomoric humor of Guy's mates.

Harvey Weinstein: Madonna only called me The Punisher
“Madonna only called me The Punisher because I told her to get out of her house and promote a movie. In a world where so many people say, ‘Oh, Madonna, if you want to sleep today, it’s OK, sweetie. Let me tuck you in’, I was honest with her.” Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein on why Madonna dubbed him ‘The Punisher’ at the Golden Globes in 2012.
He's so arrogant about it! Madonna is many things, but she is not lazy. Sure, I can definitely imagine that she'd be difficult to manage or try to schedule, but that's because she has so many commitments - her music, her businesses, her four children...
-
Someone took a pic of her while she took the pic of the choir today :
She looks gorgeous here! That dress and lipstick and pulled-back hair do wonders for her. I hope this is an indication of the next era! -
I'm going straight to hell
and I've got a lot of friends there

I'm going to shoot him in the head again
Cause I wanna see him die
Over and over
And over
And over
And over
And over
And over
And over

they should make Bad Girl, Oh Father mandatory viewing in high schools across the nation..."before we say pledge of allegiance, you must watch this."
I've always thought that Bad Girl would be perfect for Health classes

We DON'T though, which is why it might be a treat to hear some songs in their original version.
I wasn't referring to Madonna with that, though. She probably tweaks and remixes her back catalog for live performances more than any other artist. However, most other artists that have had a career as long as hers (e.g. Cher or Paul McCartney) still will play the same songs over and over in their original versions for several tours, which I do find boring after a while.
-
Personally, it doesn't bother me as long as she only uses them as snippets as part of new live remixes of old songs, like "Candy Shop" mixed with "Erotica" and "Give It 2 Me" during "Celebration" on the MDNA Tour. It bores me to hear the same songs in their original versions over and over on tours.

Songs Madonna hates:
80's:
Cherish - Not sure why, but iseems she can't relate to it. Maybe she was forced to release it as a single back in the days.
I remember reading an interview from the LAP era that said she wrote in in ten minutes when she was unusually cheerful and that she normally never feels that way and thinks it's too light and unrealistic. I have to say I agree with her - it's my least favorite Madonna song of all time and the only one I can never listen to.
Songs Madonna hates:
90's:
Beautiful Stranger - I wonder why
I'm not sure why either, but there might be a clue from the last DWT performance of BS - Guy Ritchie appeared as a surprise at the end of it. I think she may have written the song when she was falling in with him. Perhaps it still reminds her too much of Guy?
-
OMG I was thinking about that one as well! Judging from this I can see one section of the tour being like:
Secret, Nothing Fails/Love Profusion, ___, Like a Prayer
This would be epic!!

I'm pretty sure the reason why Guy Oseary is still listed as Madonna's and U2's manager is because they are without a doubt Live Nation's most important touring artists and he'll still work directly with them. As for the other artists, he'll only be supervising their managers as a senior executive and not actually be working with those artists. However, I have no doubt that Guy has lower-level employees handling a lot of the day to day responsibilities for Madonna and U2 that a manager is usually responsible for.

I got invited inside Madonna's mansion to interview her and the first thing I see when I walked into the room she was supposedly in, Madonna, sitting on her throne — literally — and she was surprisingly excited to tell us all about what went down yesterday.
Madonna sits on a "literal throne" in her house

Rocco: Mom, how come you get to be in first class and we don't?
Madonna: It's because you're not me, okay. Mama needs first class. You don't. Now, if you talk back to me like that again I'll put you in coach.
Madonna ACCLAIMED: The Albums (2014 Update)

Oh interesting, you can definitely see how much the critical reception for some albums has changed since their initial reviews. Erotica and Bedtime Stories (both at 71) in particular I'm sure were affected by the Sex book backlash and would be rated much higher by contemporary critics.
