Anyone else get the feeling Chelsea handler secretly wants to be Madonna's bff? She always goes to her oscar parties yet always talks shit about her like shes too cool for Madonna. Her comments about M always seemed contrived to me.
yes...in her books she casually mentioned her but never outright disses her...

From June 15:
Madonna has recorded enough songs to make two or three albums, but like a photographer, more is better since there is more to choose from in the end. All I know is that Interscope is very impressed with what they have heard, and that’s not just PR hype. We often hear of how “great” an album is by an artist’s PR team and when the album is released, it’s not so good. Madonna’s MDNA is a good example. Early hype and early reviews had the album compared to Ray of Light. But when reality hit, it wasn’t nearly as well received.
However, the good buzz for Madonna’s next project comes from within Interscope. But they are concerned and confused about how the album should be marketed. Should it concentrate on the adult contemporary songs she has recorded (there are quite a few)? If nothing but EDM songs make the final cut, will she be accused of recording another MDNA? Interscope knows that radio won’t play the songs, so they are looking to market the songs in other ways.
One of the songs will likely be used for an upcoming movie. Given how Interscope turned the fortunes of Lady Gaga’s “Applause” around by featuring it in a KIA commercial, you can bet they will use the same method for Madonna. There will be some performances, but not many; Madonna’s management and Interscope are aware of how much Madonna is bashed after any performance she gives these days.
Madonna would be wise to learn from the mistakes of Mariah Carey, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and other divas, who face an increasingly ageist music industry. If she wants the album to be any type of success, she has to tone down her image. She has been stuck in a “Look at Me!” rut that is turning off some fans who have stood with her since the beginning. This isn’t about ageism, which I admit Madonna is a victim of more than any other pop star in music history. This is about creativity. Madonna ‘s biggest strength has always been the ability to reinvent herself so much that she comes across as fresh both musically and aesthetically. Her current incarnation has run its course into the ground.
She also has to market the album to her audience, which is largely made up of adults in their 40s and 50s. Marketing the album to teenagers (which she has done for her past two albums) will be a nail in the album’s coffin.
In any case, Madonna is no doubt putting more effort into her latest album than she has in years. Let’s just hope the efforts pay off.
some valid points in there....however her audience is late 20's-50's ...I think 30's is the most concentrated demographic
-
if its a ballad, and released, then it would be her first ballad single since. lay down a nice ballad and then smack us with the dance album...
-
How old is Chelsea? Is she not in her 50s? what fan as a kid, is she saying?
shes only 39...
-
I wonder if Madonna believes in aliens
-
the important thing to remember is that most people and famous people like and respect Madonna.
Howard Stern is obsessed with asking any of his guest who know Madonna probing questions about her...he would love to be in the same room with her.
Chelsea Handler too...shes another one who talks shit but would take a shit in her pants if madonna was in the same room with her. I think chelsea has a cynical attitude about everybody...shes aluded to being a fan as a kid in her books...

she can legally cover any song released of his but she would need permission for a sample or special deal made for using unreleased vocals to build a song around. but anything is possible!
-
theres been enough evidence mentioned for me to lean towards 'the giver' soundtrack ...buys her time to finish the album properly too while the fans feast on Messiah
-
whatever promo she does, it should involve performances and product sponsorship/tv commercials
-
Don't forget about Sarah... -
You can always leave.
In fact, please do.

musically? Frozen or Oh Father

I think its so interesting that people are worried. Ive never been worried about a new Madonna album. excited yes, worried no...ive disappointed in certain albums way after the fact but ive seriously enjoyed and have been fully entertained by all her albums when they come out. most you guys can probably understand what I am saying.
-
she still looks like Madonna to me.
-
The thing that bums me out a little bit about Madonnagram is that it's deflated my perception that she doesn't really think about her past (in terms of her career/work/etc.). It took me a while to learn to like the fact that she just focuses on the present, but Instagram makes me think she spends more time trolling herself on the internet and in her photo albums than she used to let on.
I like that she is reminiscing , like a lot of us do on Throwback Thursday
I for one am waiting with bated breath for the autobiography....maybe it will be volumes, released quarterly over a span of two years...
-
Did it turn ugly though? Just seems a lot of indifference, on both sides.
Madonna said he should come out of the closet, Michael called her a witch...and then Janet got involved...
-
I love it. to the poster of the vid, I hadn't seen this for the first time until 2008. there are still interviews and various things im still discovering.
-
alright what im gonna say now isnt specifically about people here but just in general. what is it with those obvious non-fans always trying to come for the stupid "but MJ is not your boo he hated you, called you a witch" BS??? and what do they think that makes of MJ as a person?
and how is madonna wrong for praising MJ? it's like the woman cant do anything right with some people. (well, most people)
and... whenever madonna says one negative thing (that hardly ever is even negative, sometimes just playful) about another artist she's the evil one. someone explain that logic to me please?
that never made sense to me. and also when people say shit about M it's in their world always justified. opposite happens and she's the bitter desperate bitch. think of mariah, cher, whitney.. they all said nasty shit about her but madonna is somehow the evil queen. fuck that bullshit!
and obviously if he didnt like her he wouldnt go out with her and smile with her to photographers..
why is someone automatically and obviously a 'non-fan' just because they have a point of view that differs from the PC rainbows and butterflies perspective of Madonna. the truth is that Madonna and Michael had a nice friendship for sometime but it turned ugly. on both sides. and she never really went out of her way to befriend him afterwards (that we know of)...and then he died. like most relationships in the world, when someone dies, the problems that were present seem so stupid. I think that's where Madonna is. I think she really deep down respects Michael and regrets not talking to him for as long as she did. some Jackson fans and some Madonna fans, don't see it that way and jump to be cynical/skeptical...but that's okay, it doesn't mean they are less of a fan.
-
I wonder if Madonna was in the room when he googled her...Madonna: "actually its more but we don't know exact #s pre soundscan"
but anyways I don't care if he googled her or not, I google her all the time! what is interesting is that only 4-5 tracks will hopefully make the album, the remaining 6-8 are from avicci?
-
You know what's also comical? The fact that you're making assumptions based on what someone said on a messageboard, and they weren't even serious. But yeah, 'how the mighty have fallen' and all that. I like how 'fans' are eager to take the most random piexe of info (and that person was just throwing ideas out there, not stating it as a fact) in order to discredit Madonna

Papa Don't Preach

This was a down moment for the Queen. Thank god for live 8 and confessions that followed. She had a lot of fans worried during the American life (even though this album is my fav) and then this sell out shit
I was a Britney fan, so I was rooting for both of them on this track. The video is the biggest problem.
