    The lyrics so far

    [Excerpt from 2018 Met Gala Performance]

    [Verse 1]
    It's a beautiful plan
    But I'm not concerned
    It's a beautiful game
    That I've never learned
    People tell me to shut my mouth
    That I might get burned
    Keep your beautiful lies
    'Cause I'm not concerned

    [Hook]
    'Cause your world is such a shame
    'Cause your world's obsessed with fame
    'Cause your world's in so much pain
    'Cause your world is
    'Cause your world is

    [Excerpt from 2019 Eurovision Performance]
    [Verse]
    They are so naïve
    They think we're not aware of their crimes
    We know, but we're just not ready to act
    The storm isn't in the air, it's inside of us
    I want to tell you about love and loneliness
    But it's getting late now
    Can't you hear outside of your supreme hoodie, the wind that's beginning to howl?

    [Lyrics quoted from the Rolling Stone review]
    People think I'm insane
    The only gun is in my brain
    Each new birth, it gives me hope
    That's why I don't smoke this dop

    American Life is her worst album, just dreadful, boring, dull, uninspired songwriting, same monotonous guitar on EVERY song etc

     

    Thank God for Confessions and Hard Candy, which is extremely underrated and probably the last Madonna album that the General Public is aware of, judging from the bizarro rollout so far, it certainly won't be Madame X

     

    I was not happy when I found out she was working with Mirwais again, probably my least favorite M collaborator, even Music was a huge comedown compared to ROL, I just don't like his boring producing style at all

     

    Not at all

     

    Confessions volume 2 please Madonna?

    American Life is her best album

     

    thank you next

    Last night I was only able to see the edited version with Dark Ballet missing. Now that I've actually had a chance to really watch the full performance, it makes the absolute hysterics from the media (not in the US thank goodness) and in this forum completely and utterly RIDICULOUS. In fact, in terms of history of this forum, I think the absolute absurdity of it all can only be compared to "Gagagate" as far as just how irrational people are. The fact that the absolute, over the top hysterics in this forum lead me to believe before watching the performance that I was about to witness a career suicide....a Britney '07 type moment is actually quite pathetic. Truly, a NEW LOW for this forum. So incredibly disappointed in some posters....not because they didn't like it but because of their reactions and how they feed into the over the top bullshit. In regard to the media, some bum notes and a questionable musical arrangement don't equate to the type of vitriol she's getting. I dare someone to say she should ignore the US after the absolute ugliness I've seen from the European media today. Clearly, some of the criticisms are rooted somewhere else FAR BEYOND her Eurovision performance.

    Now that I've seen it in full and without having insane hysterics pre-shape my opinion, I can honestly say she delivered last night. She hit some questionable notes but I can spout off ten other performances from the top of my head that are far worse. Will agree, it's time to step up the musical arrangements and Quavo works on the recorded version of Future but his stage presence is non-existent. Outside of those two things, I saw NOTHING wrong with this performance. #sorrynotsorry. This wasn't meant to be a light, dance driven number....clearly it was meant to be heavy all around. Perhaps that's not appropriate for Eurovision....which is what makes it all the better to me. 

    But yeah......let's keep waiting for the disco banger to pop up and for her to slip on the leotard again and do the crabwalk 🙄  Not everyone can come into the future indeed. Wake up!

    THIS 100% preach

    In another hand it's not because we defend Madonna that we didn't notice the execution. When lots of people is degrading her for her voice, dancing etc I think it's our duty to focus on the good details instead. The like a prayer midi music was less than ok. The voice well, no good but not terrible also. I think quavo drown the energy of the performance. I'm aware of that. But like I said the message in the context is more important for me. Future is a good song. The costumes was really nice. The setup and the background also. The cinematography was amazing.  I could criticize many M performances but I choose to stand with her vision. Especially when people aren't very nice to her. She's the boss. 

    I don't think I'm delusional. Sometime you hit beyond the stars, sometimes you don't and that's ok.

    hate it how much Madonna is being BULLIED by media outlets all the time

    I mean let's face it, this was her first big official performance for her new album (yes I know we had the Billboard awards) and they were just waiting to rip her to shreds

    this needs to stop and seriously I believe this was all planned from the beginning, something sinister is going on here

    Wouldn’t be surprise if 90% of the article was written in advance
