    Borderline or Burning Up?

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    Both are incredible. The whole album is one of the best debuts ever. So it's hard to pick.

    I remember not liking "Borderline" so much when I first heard it many years ago (I really got into Madonna in the 90's) but once it did kick in, I realized the levels and pure genius of the song. And the video. And the soulfulness of the backup vocals. I also ADORE "Burning Up" but my vote goes to "Borderline"

    Rebel Heart Tour DVD

    That looped audience is also on the live album, it's so annoying, makes it unlistenable for me. There just isn't a constant whooping and cheering at any concert?!?

    I still don't actually own MDNA on DVD, I've streamed it once. beside the horrendous artwork, It's badly edited to the point of being unwatchable, and the filters look seriously amateur. The Confessions Tour DVD however is perfection! She just needs to repeat that!

    Let's just hope it isn't Madonna left by herself to finish editing the show for DVD again like last time, haha (as people expressed earlier in this topic). The sound editing/mixing especially is a mess, plus the filters, and should be completed by someone who knows how to do post-production.

    There are plenty of people in New York they can hire, even a student could do a better job than what was outputted. Not that it's completely unwatchable for me, I still like to watch my fave moments. But certain moments I don't ever watch again.

    Anyway, I CANNOT wait to see RHT it it's finality aired somewhere (fingers crossed) and then to have the DVD (fingers crossed). Keep it as natural to the show as possible hopefully... this show in particular doesn't need crazy hectic editing, or overdone post-production.

    Will the crowd in Nashville be as tragic as Toronto?

    Not fair to totally shit on Toronto... the crowd seemed really good the second night. Although the crowds here do seem to be getting more walking dead in general, haha.

    Anyway, sometimes it's just the night.

    Normally I don't care about the crowd at most shows (usually at clubs and music halls or whatever you call them). But at an arena I notice it more. But still, I just have my own good time if I'm enjoying the show.

    Out of all the stars I'm most impressed by the guy from the Eagles. I love how members of incredibly respected male rock bands have given respect to M this year, first the Led Zep guy wishing her a happy bday and posting the Justify Whole Lotta mashup, and now this Eagles guy attending the tour. I think this is the first time members of classic rock bands (apart from U2) have attended one of her tours?

    (tho the Eagles guy did sound a little bizarre in that tmz clip)

    Oh wow, didn't realize one of the guys from the Eagles was there. Love me some of that era of music, and very cool they show some love for Madonna!

    Ashton Kutcher never moved all night long. Every time I looked back he looked exactly how he does in the picture, just straight faced and just there.

    I can't stand people like this at shows... especially pop shows with beats and upbeat performances. And it's usually tall straight men and I am always stuck behind them wondering why they are so damn close to the stage and I have to crane around their statue figure while I'm trying to have fun, lol.

    Tonight I'm in this sort of mood...

    My friends and I were just watching this over the weekend (Truth or Dare one)... I had to throw it on because my friend was telling a story about how she showed it to a class in her university course in the past couple of years. She's in her thirties but finally finishing her degree after working for a while. The class was pretty shocked! haha Love it!!!

    Top 5 Album Covers

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Pfft.....anyone that would put Erotica over LAV, TB or even HC doesn't have a clue. Haven't had my coffee yet but I'm pretty sure I'm right. :)

    Sorry but Erotica = overrated in so many ways. Not that it's not great but almost everything else she has done is better. Sometimes people like rooting for the underdog primarily because it's the underdog. ;) oops did I say that? I'm not apologizing but I should get some coffee before I post anymore....lol

    I can see people rooting for the underdog 'Erotica' musically and chart wise, but I don't know if that rooting would include the cover? Maybe for some I guess? haha

    Not me. I am obsessed with the cover all unto itself. I especially love it because it was something different from her previous covers. And it's still her gorgeous face.

    Plus... I DO like her album covers where she is posing in some outfit (especially all of the 80's covers - very iconic) but I feel like some after that could have been more. I don't know, she's gorgeous and all, but she's just standing there (ROL, Music, HC) or lying there (BS - however, I LOVE 'Something to Remember').

    Not that i'm trying to insult them... hello, Madonna is stunning on all of them... but I like the covers from her best that seem a little different I guess.

    If Deluxe Versions of M Albums Were To Be Released...

    When 'Confessions' first came out and absolutely ruled my brain, I kept thinking because the production is so gorgeous, it would have been amazing to have an extended version of the album as a second edition, almost like 12" mixes, with some amazing breakdowns in the music, some extra vocals even, and sure, some full on mixes.

    I think a fan made some extended mixes of the songs back then and it was cool to hear... Anyway, I believe this would have been another cool edition of the album to buy.
