It's such a shit song!
Everyone is entitled to like and dislike what he or she fancies.
In the end, this statement says more about you than it does about the song's merits.

DJ and OMC were not singles in the US. No airplay whatsoever and no commercial release. Hey You was a single on iTunes here and even had a video. Thankfully it had no airplay. Pharell produced that turd. No wonder he's been overcompensating now.

Revolver is really a throwaway single along with Celebration, which doesn't sound half as good as the version that originally leaked. I was going to vote Dear Jessie but I know better than to desecrate the pillar that is Like a Prayer.

I like all of those songs. Ones less than others but "Hey You" takes the cake as the worst ever. It even got a stupid montage video and a single cover.
My feelings when I heard it for the first time and ever since...

Picture Her As This Classic Actress
[Blind Gossip] Some have been taking this Academy Award-winning Actress to task for playing dress up as a favorite Classic Actress. However, while you were busy paying attention to that, another Creative Performer was actually making quiet inquiries into playing Classic Actress in a film!
Creative Performer is not unattractive, but there is just something about her that makes it difficult to picture her as the Classic Actress. Creative has worked with her own hair, makeup and wardrobe people several times over the past few years to see if they could help her physically pass for Classic. We don’t know if they have succeeded. We also don’t know if Creative really has the acting chops required to pull this off. Even if she does, it would still make for some shocking casting and lots of controversy.

Classic Actress: GK

Q: Have you ever heard Madonna’s ‘Like It Or Not’ from ‘Confessions on A Dancefloor’? It was her attempt at making a Goldfrapp record. ‘Black Cherry’ to be specific.
Alison Goldfrapp : ‘Never heard it, that song. I couldn’t care less what she or whoever does. Madonna is always copying other people’s work. yuck.’
Q: Well you guys are quite good at it yourself : ‘Ooh La La’ was a T-Rex rip-off. ‘Cologne Cerrone Houdini’ could have been any Gainsbourg song on ‘Historie de Melody Nelson’. And those are just two examples.
Alison Goldfrapp : ‘We have a perfectly legitimate post-modern explanation for that. Those songs are an Hommage! We steal like magpies but we pay tribute to our heroes at any chance we get, in interviews etc.. . Everyone should know by now that Marc Bolan was my idol growing up. But we’ll never be caught following the latest trend or collaborating with the hottest DJs and producers just to get their names on our record sleeves. That’s not our style.

Fuck me you fuck wits! What the fuck are you lady gaga fans? Your all as fucking bitchy and fucked up!.

Act 2 from Blond Ambition remains her most epic section of a tour (and of any tour period). But this one was pretty strong.

I'm still not over people claiming to hear "unapologetic" in the billboard clip

These last few pages...

I can only picture her performing TUTR or FF (it can become her new P(NFM)). I think she may use a snippet of GGW like she did with MG (the hey yeah yeah...part).

BULLSHIT. BULL-FUCKING-SHIT to all of it.
I am so fucking SICK of this crap. And usually in the name of "social justice" or "intellectualism". Bullshit. It's becoming it's own fundamentalist religion. Church at tumblr. Reception at twitter.
"Oh, if you're not one of us, how dare you do anything positive with 'our' movement/culture/community/etc."... Jesus fucking Christ... how can anyone expect to have allies if all you do is bite the hand that feeds you?
And the Macklemore comments are old. Enough well spoken, independent thinks (away from the self-righteous 'social justice' mob) have already made good arguments against most of this shit.
This type of shit is becoming far too prevalent and it worries me... how the FUCK are we supposed to evolve if everyone is supposed to stay in their own little space dare they be "silencing the voices" of that actual community? How dare people want to express themselves and help the cause....? How dare people be inspired by other cultures and communities...?
This "taking away our voice" shit is really just a reflection of your own insecurities. Far easier to point the finger at others than actually be a REAL solution.
And god forbid people with an influential platform actually want to do something. These folks would be bitching if they didn't too!
Nothing but self-righteous bullshit. Ru was right - the end of the "movement" or "culture" will be our own doing. People blind to the bigger picture, all in the name of their own politics.
Bravo!

I don't have high hopes for the next album. It seems that she only spent a couple of weeks in the studio and she's concentrated on other things now. I don't expect a new sound or groundbreaking songs. Another MDNA with better production would be nice...

I think it's real look at their addresses it's the ARPANET
They are Scholars using arpa
Hence, the tone of the thread. I wish there was one about LAP and JML.

Blond Ambition Tour - Yokohama
Blond Ambition Tour - Barcelona
Blond Ambition Tour - Paris [as yet incomplete]

Girlie Show - Fukuoka
Drowned World Tour - Detroit
Reinvention Tour - Lisbon
Reinvention Tour - Paris [as yet complete]
Confessions Tour - London
Sticky and Sweet Tour - Buenos Aires
MDNA Tour - Miami [and other shows]
(please feel free to correct me and I will amend the list)
Let's tawwk.
I mean, a lot of people say 'less is more' so when it comes to the earlier shows we definitely had that and maybe to a certain extent Sticky and Sweet from the more recent tours.
Drowned World was glazed ass shit like someone had just downed 3 benzodiazepines and then went behind that camera and I hated it because it did not capture the show at all.
Reinvention - well, the footage from the documentary is filmed in a very similar fashion stylistically to what we got later for Confessions (oh, hi Jonas!) - which is basically, "Let's make Madonna look like a goddess" which is all great and all that but in certain places it feels a little bit too polished and pretty and cutesy with all the dramatic slow-motions (oh hi first segment of Confessions) and all that stuff. However, I have to say I do like it.
MDNA - wow, the 'more is more' concert film concept went to colossal heights with this and the bubble burst so spectacularly the juice was all over everyone's faces. Defective discs, bad sound.. just everything.. oh God, I'm awfully sorry for having offended thee and all that. However, in some respects, the DVD/Blu-Ray fiasco was ironically the 'perfect' ending and closure of a very tumultuous chapter in the Madonna history (namely the MDNA era).
Blond & Girlie were both the best and let's not even pretend that they weren't. Particularly Girlie I think. The way it was shot was just spectacular. Love it!

Now that I think about it, it would've fit perfectly in the cowboy section. She could've done it in the style of the original instead of Gone or something
Also - does anyone know if one of the NY shows was supposed to be canceled? I went to Madison Square Garden in the afternoon of one of the shows (think it was the 2nd or 3rd) to see if tix were available or if I could buy a tour programme; but there were people dismantling/packing up the merch booths, saying that the show had just been canceled.
American Pie instead of Gone or The Funny Song (preferably since I love Gone) would have made a huge difference!

My boyfriend just gave me the dvd as a gift for my bday and i finally saw DWT complete for the very first time...
I love the first section, the second one is weird and artsy but i it was great, cowboy section was average for me tho, the latina section was good and passional and the last bit was great as always.
IMO the trifecta is: BAT - CT - MDNAT
This tour is weird, she seemed but into it at S&S, even the production is minimalistic in a few songs, also the setlist is kinda weak, i mean she could had sang American Pie, Amazing, Cyberraga, TAB, TPOGB...
Those three are my favorites too!
I saw DWT live and though it was definitely more exciting in person than on the video, it was still pretty joyless. I mean, it's called Drowned World for a reason. I found the combo of the (Un) Funny Song + Secret + Gone + DCFMA + WIFLFAG to be way too slow. I loved Secret (one of my faves) but the rest kind of dragged in my opinion. I was also really annoyed that WIFLAG was in Spanish. Imagine having listened to song all summer long and when you hear it in concert and want to sing along, you can't. And for those non-English speaking people that will certainly point out that "we listen to song in different languages all the time", it's not that it was in a language that I don't understand (I have a pretty good grasp on Spanish), it was because I couldn't connect to it like the original. P.S.: I would have had the same problem if she sang Shanti/Ashtangi or Cyberraga in Spanish.
I do like DWT but it's not the piece of art some claim as a whole. The first half is flawless but then it looses steam. Thankfully LIB, Holiday and Music make for one of her best tour endings.

"One of the postings on this topic claimed that Madonna's
image is fabricated by the (presumably male-dominated) music
industry. I replied in an earlier posting that everything
I've read about her indicates that that isn't so.
After thinking about it, I realized that's probably why she's
so threatening, because she CHOOSES to act that way, and
portray herself that way, and makes no apologies for it.
How much easier it would be if we could simply blame Madonna
on the sexist record industry."#unapologeticbitch1985
I never listen to "Secret".
