    I don't know. My strategy these past months is being super harsh with trolls and now I ve been called cranky twice in less than 24 hours :lol:  I'm becoming the Dorothy Zbornak of the forum.

    I've had a complete stranger call me by my first name on a forum before, even though there was no way of knowing it, it creeped me out a little bit.

    Just curious (in USA no one even knows what EV is) ...why is it considered cheesy? 

    Is it because it looks cheesy and it’s just like a huge American Idol with so many different cultures that it comes across as messy ?? 

    I'd say it's considered cheesy because the songs, outfits and performances are usually camp or laughable. I think this is the reason it's got this reputation.

    I don’t care either way if she performs at ESC - a great perf to watch if she does, no loss if she doesn’t. I personally doubt that it will have much promo effect (see Super Bowl vs gmayl and MDNA).

    My issue is that it’s in Israel and that this particular ESC is already contentious. I fear it will play into negative connotations of her tone deafness with certain issues that are already widespread about her.

    Sorry but she got a US Billboard Top 10 hit with GMAYL because of the super bowl.

    This would be great promo, it’s watched worldwide. As someone else said, this helped Justin, and his song wasn’t even good.

    On the subject of the dolls posted a few pages ago, I remember watching this a while back during original airing and how ungrateful Madonna comes across and it just maybe me but I don't like the way she just grabs the doll from Graham Norton. A small gesture like that says a lot about a person

     

    Dolly, if Madonna’s diva antics upset you then you should step off the train.

    This thread should be closed until there’s a worthy rumor or an official press release.

    Why do you guys think that everything is so quiet?

    She had leaked music/singles since Music in every era, back in the day there where Anne String or whatever insiders even leaking photos or demos,  but nothing now? So:

    -The Israeli hackers was behind everything in every era so now that he’s trapped there’s nothing?

    -She found out the person on her inner circle that was leaking stuff and fired that one?

    -She finally has an inteligent team that works offline with extra security?

    What happened?

    Everything is offline this time, no internet / WiFi, hard drives have to be given to people by hand.

    having this thread open allows us to discuss the making of the album and have fun speculating, no harm in that.

    What bugs me personally is the beautiful Game situation. Just because she sang a few lines from a song no one has heard before all of a sudden it was the first single then when that didn't happen people keep mentioning it as if it's a done deal like how dare she sing a few bars and not release it? Who says it's even a new song? What if it's an unreleased song? All these basic's keep going on about it and nothing was ever ever confirmed. People, the song (if it's new) may not even be on the final album! Have you even considered that? The fact that she performed some of it means NOTHING!!!!

    It wasn’t on the track board she accidentally leaked last year, but some fans seem to think it’s been renamed to Dark Ballet.

    I'm still curious as to what happened with it seemingly being targeted for release last year, she said last year we'd get music by end of the year (2018).

    did stuff get moved around for better release timing or did she go back and re-work the album?

     

    Well for a period last year fans thought she’d actually been secretly working on the album longer than she actually had, and that it was ready to drop after the Met Gala performance.

    There were several quotes of the album coming Q4 2018 but with her seemingly having a break from studio in the summer (again, fans assumed it was finished because she posted Miwais sessions wrapped on Insta) and then going back to the studio later last year, it was becoming more clear the album wasn’t coming 2018.

     I think she’s working on it until she’s 100% happy with it, which is a good thing because it means we’ll get the best. But it is apparently finished and being mixed / mastered, which is exciting.

    hoepfully this is a bit more helpful to you.

    What if she decides to put up the first songs on ITunes again!!! That would be awesome, if the record is coming out in April. About 4-6 songs would be perfect, although it's not going to happen most likely.

    No thanks, this was done as a way to try and get around the leaks, but the problem was the first 6 songs were mastered completely different from the rest of the album and it shows. I don’t want any flaws in mixing / mastering with this album!

  9. Agreed January should no longer be a bad month to put out new music with streaming now being the lead platform, in fact, she’d be getting in there a head of anyone else if she were to drop a new single.

    i don’t know about anyone else but I get so bored in January waiting for the year to get started and new music to come out, the thirst is real.

    Oh c’mon 🤷‍♂️.......nobody has a not got a clue! ‘Killers’ was the only legible word on that whiteboard, who knows that’s even the name of the song?! 

    Also I remember everyone going absolutely apeshit the day Living For Love (which I love) leaked, saying it was as good as Hung Up and Music etc, and now proclaim it to be utter crap.

    Wasn't that because of the vocal effect they added on the final version?

    Okay, so... Some info I got from someone apparently in the know. It's not world shocking information, but interesting nonetheless and time will tell how trustworthy this info really is, but I decided to share it regardless. If only for us all to have something to discuss during the holidays:

    • Do not expect anything in 2018.
    • Official info will begin to be shared little by little in the first weeks of January.
    • At the moment the definitive track listing is not done yet.
    • She really put her heart and soul into this album. No fillers here.
    • "Killers" is indeed a killer track.
    • She didn't play it safe. She took risks musically and he really means RISKS. Some of the tracks people will be like "WOW, what is that?!" At first listen. Of course a couple of tracks are less innovative, more commercial. But even those are top notch.
    • Some tracks you can't compare to any other music out there really, at least not that he knows of.
    • The only thing is that it's not a very cohesive album as a whole. But the tracks are so out of this world that you couldn't care less about cohesiveness. but according to him, the album is not messy (as he thinks "Rebel Heart" was).
    • It's no secret that there will be Latino influences on the album so to a certain extent people who love tracks like "Spanish Lesson" will be happy. But of course the Latino tracks do not sound like "Spanish Lesson". They are way better. The influences on this album are incredible.
    • In his opinion, this is her best album since COADF.

    Don't shoot the messenger...

    Thanks for sharing. Much appreaciated.

    The positive reaction to your post here, as opposed to the negative reaction on Popjustice speaks volumes about how I feel about most of the members on that forum.
