I know: Dump that reductive Like A Prayer-wannabe that goes by the name Living For Love (I mean, honestly, been there, done that) and go with Bitch I'm Madonna. And, instead of performing it in indoors, perform it outside (a la Taylor Swift MTV Awards long ago) like the bad bitch that we know she it. Oh, and drag out Nicki Minaj and bust shit up, while at the same time saying, "I'm too kool fo yo shit award sho!"
Or, something to this effect. But, please, for the love of god, please no more choirs.
BLASPHEMY!
LIVING FOR LOVE IS LIFE.

Deleted probably because of leaks...

What happened to the album thread without spoilers??

GRAMMY OPENING: We fade in, Lady Gaga appears in a gorgeous golden age of Hollywood dress, looking fierce. She begins singing one of the the jazz numbers from Cheek To Cheek, it doesn't matter which, as no one cares. Suddenly, a figure rises out of the stage with their back turned to us. The figure is wearing a very expensive men's suit, then we notice a well quaffed head of grey hair. The audience starts applauding thinking that it's Tony Bennett. Then the figure turns around to face us...It's NOT Tony Bennett...It's MADONNA!!! Gaga looks at her quizzically and says, "Hey, you're not Tony Bennett!" Madonna looks at Gaga and winks, saying, "Bitch, I'm Madonna!" The audience explodes!!! Madonna yanks the grey haired wig off her head and tosses it into the audience. The fags in the crowd dive for the rug with wild abandon.
Madonna and Gaga join forces in a duet of Living For Love. Madonna sings and dances to the first verse, then it's Gaga's turn to shine and show how she can blow. Madonna looks at her with her arms folded, suitably impressed with her booming vocals. As we start to go to the bridge, the beat changes into a hip-hop rhythm. Nicki Minaj hits the stage wearing almost nothing, all big lips, big tits, and big ass! She raps a new verse from the soon to be released Living For Love remix.
Just when you think it can't get any crazier, here comes Gwen Stefani and a couple of her harajuku girls, singing Hollaback Girl! Madonna then gets Gaga, Nicki, and Gwen in line and they segue back into Living For Love, only changing the "I'm Living For Love" to "We're Living For Love!" The song comes to a frenzied end with Gaga on her knees wailing. Finally, they all clasp hands and show everyone the true SISTERHOOD OF GIRL POWER!!!
I can go a few years now without seeing M in a men's suit....

Hmmmm
Gaga:
Friendship is only friendship when it is real. Passionate and relentless. Forgiving and joyful. Don't forget today to have real moments with your friends. Not a text, or a tweet, an Instagram-- that's all deceit. Hold real hands, kiss genuine lips, be a truly strong human force.
M's thoughts on that...

I LOVE Borrowed Time!!

My god, some people really think that it's ISIS (the Islamic State) that she refers in Illuminati?
It's clearly the egyptian goddess, she even sings "pyramids of Egypt" in the same sentence. Journalists are getting more and more ignorant these days...
And they call themselves critics/journalists....

Can't wait to see Shakira 'slay' Madonna.
-
Im not crazy about Inside Out, its not a standout track
-
Tour? We'll have wait until Agoust- September.
You were right once, I'll give you that. Time to wait and see if this pans out too.
I will spare you from this closed door for now....

I do find it bizarre that they were so unaware these leaks were coming. The press were reporting info on these songs months ago, and that must have raised an alarm.
I definitely think that they knew a hack had happened months back (was that the "bad" thing that was referred to along with all the demo information?), and wanted to try and nullify the damage and threat of a leak by recording more music and altering the course of the record.
These are all demos - they sound quite rough in parts, and i wouldn't be surprised if we only see a few brand new, unheard of tracks, and the rest are a selection of these demos, but worked on and polished up. Hopefully thats the job Blood Diamond was brought in to do.
Also his last line about it "all being revealed at some point" is very dramatic - certainly gonna have the conspiracy theorists clamouring for more!
I think Guy knew about the leaks early and was working on making sure M didn't find out. But he failed in doing so and now has to claim that he found out about them the same time as M.
I was pretty sure MNEK will be featured on the album version of LFL. If not on the vocals then as a producer, but he is obviously not, which makes me think the released version is not the one that was supposed to be the end-product. The current version also omits the "Lord-lord lift me" part, which I totally love in the demo version. I hope when they relaunch the single, they will send out a different version/the music video will feature a longer version. Remixes are usually not recorded months before the single is released, especially since she most likely hasn't decided about the first single when she collaborated with MNEK in July. It's just a bit strange to me that MNEK made only a remix considering the way he was talking about the track in his interviews. Also in the Billboard interview M was quite strange about the whole situation - she referred to it as "the version that can be heard now", etc. Well, who knows, I guess we are going to find out soon enough.
I hope we get a video version for LFL with his feature and the "Lord-lord lift me" part.
The "single version" of Living for Love could feature MNEK and be slightly remixed, which will mean more people will buy it when it is "officially" released in February or whenever.
They should also have had a few lyric videos prepared for BIM and LFL to keep it chugging along until March...
This.
Yeah I want cool lyric videos for songs.
I have a wierd feeling living for love is going to be remixes a la Celebration for the video...
And this.

While we are awaiting the reveal of the results and Jimmy's beautiful artwork, here are the songs that just missed the cut:
60. Causing A Commotion (718 points)
59. Like A Virgin (734 Points)
58. TIE : Dress You Up and Beat Goes On (744 Points)
57. Hollywood (764 Points)
56. Xstatic Process (770 Points)
55. Angel (834 Points)
54. Die Another Day (842 Points)
53. Sorry (844 Points)
52. Secret Garden (862 Points)
51. Impressive Instant (864 Points)
So the LAV album only has MG, as a single, left to vie for the Top 50. No love for LAV.
Then again, I didn't vote for them either.
Two of my Top 50 are out. Not too shabby.

"Love this #rebelheart"

She'll take us to church...
I expect her to open the show with Alicia on backing vocals and a huge choir. She'll be literally lifted up away from the stage at the end..
Poof!
Disappear!
She'll ascend to heaven!
And Oprah will feel like she just got home.

Ok so if a feud doesn’t exist then why add fuel to the fire by singing an Express Yourself/Born This Way mash-up leading into She’s Not Me on the MDNA Tour, describe Born This Way as ‘reductive’ and fire other shots over the years.
Loved Madonna from the start, but her Instagram is nauseating at times, the female feuds post being the worst to date.
Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Er.. NO. Go take another fucking selfie dumbo.
"Er"?
YOU WANT TO FUCKING go "Er" with ME?
The audacity of you, you stupid useless nobody?
1. Yeah number fucking 1. Is that supposed to insult me? That is not me in my signature, dumbass bitchcunt. He's GEORGE HILL. http://instagram.com/yaboig_hill
2. Your presence alone is more nauseating than Madonna's entire Instagram account.
3. You are one of those SAD, PATHETIC gays falling into the "I loved Madonna but __(insert some disgusting faggy verbal diarrhoea to fill in the blank)" type of fan who needs to fuck off from this Earth.
Noticed you blocked me from replying to that last message, brave of you.
Just wanted to say thanks for the laugh, but on a serious note, people with mental health issues shouldn't be a laughing matter.
And of COURSE the guy in your sig isn't you, that was silly of me. Can only imagine how ugly you are, ugly as your soul.
Goodbye imbecile, would love to stay and talk longer but I have this thing called a LIFE, you should try find one in 2015.

I didn't download anything until today. I already paid for the album last Saturday, my contribution to M's coffers is done. If I listen to an unfinished version of what I paid for, I will not lose any sleep. I am not sharing with anyone what I have. I will purchase at least two tour tickets as usual so her bottom line won't be hurting due to my previewing of her songs. What else could I have done to support her financially? These are my two cents on the subject for whatever it's worth.

Who wrote/produced Beautiful Scars and Graffiti Heart??

-
Is it allowed to ask which songs have actually leaked? Holy Water? Some other Avicii stuff?

Madonna
Rebel Heart (so far)
★★★
You'd have to say, if nothing else then Madonna has plugged into the modern world's realities in two very big ways: nothing is safe online; and if you get rolled (by leakers, trolls and North Korean hackers with bad haircuts), roll with it as hard as you can.
If we accept her claim that this premature release of six tracks from Rebel Heart, ahead of a full album in March, was forced on her – last week's leak of what may have been unfinished versions of songs being not just unofficial but unwanted – then she's making the most of a bad situation.
A year ago Beyonce dropped a full album, and videos, without notice and blew everything up for a while. Now Rebel Heart has commandeered the cultural conversation for a few days and put Madonna where she hasn't been for a decade or so, at No. 1. In this case, on the iTunes charts in 36 countries we are told.
Not everything about the six new songs is a surprise, given Madonna's "people" this year have been strategically peppering the interwebs with song titles and collaborators, including here the modestly confident Kanye West on one song, and on another track the modestly dressed Nicki Minaj. The main surprise, I guess, is whether the six tracks reflect Madonna's past, present or future, and the answer to that seems to be, all three.
On Ghosttown, a deeper-voiced Madonnarelives her better ballads (think Live to Tell) over a resonant electronic bed that serves her effective singing with warm electric piano chords. Then there are the '80s/'90s house sounds (piano, hints of gospel in the backing vocals and reach for euphoria escalation) of Living for Love and the acoustic guitar-with-electro-cowboy of Devil Pray (that will remind you of Don't Tell Me from her album at the turn of this century, Music) that is matched with a melody that doesn't attempt to hide its familiarity with House of the Rising Sun.
Not as convincing are the here-ish and now-ish moments. Unapologetic Bitch is a dancehall track with the voice tweaked at times to sound cartoonish amid Jamaican off-beat guitars and squawky synthesiser noise. here's no real connection with Madonna, almost as if she's been dropped in from another track.
The Kanye-produced Illluminati (with Madonna reciting a list of all the ways most candidates are not really part of the classically defined Illuminati, though they may be part of the paranoids' new world order) is colder and harder sounding, in the way of West's own recent work. There's some edge to it but not much menace that would really thrust it into compelling.
It's still more accommodating for a casual listener than Bitch I'm Madonna where, with the vocal assistance of Minaj, Madonna and producers Diplo and Sophie work very, very hard to irritate to penetrate. Noises poke and grate, repeating on you like fingernail scrapings, her voice gets tweaked more and more, and the stop-start rhythm swings from electro dance to lurching strides.
It's contemporary – even if it sounds like it might actually be Britney Spears and friends doing another homage to their inspiration, Madonna – but is it believable? And that is the issue that may not be fully answered until March because the issue with Madonna in the past decade and a half hasn't turned on the fact that she has been trying to be on-trend, even if that has been a constant criticism.
For a start, that was always her calling card, her ability to be on or just ahead of a musical or fashion style that might have been breaking in the clubs or alternative/underground scenes but had yet to transfer to the mainstream. That and a great ear for the right producers and co-writers to help her transfer the trend into marketable music.
Secondly, it is the point of pop music to be of the moment (and Madonna has always been a pop artist, not a vocalist of note, nor a lyricist of depth – that wasn't in her remit).
Madonna's difficulties, at first intermittently but then consistently, have been in the area of matching her understandable quest for relevance – or rebellion – with our perception of her topicality, in personality as much as music.

I'm away for just a couple of hours and this happens...wtf is going on
. why can't we talk about who leaked the tracks? where can we talk about it? fuck I missed everything

This "controversy" is just noise. In every "era" M sheds some so-called fans and gains new ones. This is nothing. Ask a coworker or someone on the street and chances are they don't even know her album leaked. Back in 1992 even monks new about Erotica/SEX/Body of Evidence.
