I don't know guys, but I'd blame her record label.
I dont either. until we know how this really happened, its hard to say. maybe Guy did everything he could but M gave some copies out?? who really knows... (well, obviously the evil people know what happened!).
-
Fair point. The new RH fits better in the context of the new album and as an album closer, so I can see some logic behind her choice of changes. However I still don't think it is the better of the two, and the Avicii sound is what she asked for, that's like saying, Ray of Light is a William Orbit record.
... maybe she just wanted some songs that she could get her guitar out for on tour

Sorry but there is nothing that could convince me that the original Rebel Heart demo is not the best version. There was a general consensus among fans on different boards that the song should've been lead single or second single and with good reason, it had all the ingredients of a perfect pop song. The album version simply has no bang, and no power.
"Best" is obviously subjective. She wanted to make a Madonna record, not an Avicii record.

ooops... it's here...
BEAUTIFUL SCARS demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BEAUTIFUL SCARS final
REBEL HEART first leaked demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> REBEL HEART final
WASH ALL OVER ME all demos leaked >>>>>>>>>>>>>> WASH ALL OVER ME final
BORROWED TIME demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BORROWED TIME final
i really don't get why they tried really hard to remove any Avicii sound in these demos (except BS)...
GHOSTTOWN for 2nd single after hearing all of this...
No. All finals are better than demos. Even BS Im getting into the new version. i think we are just too used to the old ones. But from a start to finish sonic journey, all the final versions are awesome.
Not sure about singles, theres so many that are great. Im thinking Inside Out coudl be a single.
-
Beautiful Scars shits all over the demo. Otherwise do you think Guy is gonna be fired? HOW COULD this happen? After all the massive leaks. hat kind of team de MERDE does Madonna have. She's surrounded by mediocre incompetents.
She needs to get Beyonce's team.
-
I dont think Im still understanding the vogue sample. Does it makes sense? I dont even think its new vocals, just the vocal used from the last tour.
other hand, the holiday sample in VVV is perfect.
-
Hold Tight & Iconic are so good, please god help me!!!
WTF with Beautiful Scars, Rebel Heart & Wash All Over Me?

RIP Beautiful Scars. Why, Madonna, WHY?
-
so i still dont get the explicit warning - on body shop??? holy water (is pussy offensive?)
-
iconic, was never really fussed by the demo, now ..

-
It could be the earlier demos...

-
why did she ditch the rehearsal dress last minute?
i wanna know this too. although she did look very uncomfortable in it in the rehearsal. it looked like something from hello dolly, glad she changed.
-
if you buy a video on itunes, does it count towards official singles sales? if so, then wouldnt the video be released the same day as the single?
-
So, do we think it could be a single? A bit left field, but it would definitely get attention.

From people's comments thus far, I predict that this will join LAP,ROL, and COADF to give her a critically acknowledged masterpiece in four consecutive decades!
Not saying that I think those are her best albums, and Music received basically the same acclaim as ROL. However the critical consensus is that she has three unassailable masterpieces, one 80s one 90s and one aughts. Now, she may very well add a fourth.
I hope so too - the thing is that what the general public and critics consider 'great albums' are really only an assessment of the strength of the singles. Not every song has to be amazing (everyone expects some fillers), but the singles must be amazing. And the singles must sell. It will be interesting to see what singles we get from RH. I think WAOM and Messiah could be singles if they get the right mix.

According to LindebergBoy in the Madonna-Infinity forum, who seems to know what he's talking about, the newly leaked demos are mislabeled.
"Living for Love" is actually demo 3, while "Messiah" is demo 4. Both are earlier demos than the ones that leaked in December.
The new "Wash All Over Me" demo is demo 3, i.e. a later mix than the ones that leaked in December. Demo 4 (Avicii's final mix) remains unleaked.
interesting. although the new LFL demo sounds closer to the final than the December demo.
-
Autotune Baby is great. The baby effects are a little pointless and gimmicky - i dont feel like they are needed. apart from that its a great pop ballad.
I thought the same thing .. that maybe in the final version they have taken that out, but since its still called AB, i presume its there in the final.
-
I;m LOVING the new messiah demo. Percussion and new strings are are flawless. I hope they keep the dancy bit in the final.
-
The drums on Joan of Arc tho. Wasn't expecting that
Reminds me of her American pie. At least were getting the acoustic as well.
-
Is this the finsl or demo? It's got that strummy guitar that was in a lot of other demos but not in final versions ... Maybe ... But it's kinda cute anyway.YUCK...not liking Autotune Baby at all...DOUBLE YUCK
New sex is awesome. JOA might need a few more goes.
-
Super low quality snippets of Autotune Baby, Trust No Bitch, Alone With You, Take It Back, La Isla Bonita (Dubplate) and the final version of Hold Tight just leaked..

very super low quality. alone with you and take it back sound like the most fun, but obviously dont fit the rest of the album.

It samples "Vogue" "let your body move to the music" "let your body go with the FLOW" LOL
apparently. but just thinking about that last word in this new context kind of makes me feel unwell.

I think I would have gone with "Im glad you brought your raincoat, i think its begining to rain.."
-
If I had to bet, I would guess that the surprise sample of an old Madonna song at the end of Holy Water would be "your love's coming down like.... rain!" from Rain, but if anybody knows what it is, don't tell me if I'm right or wrong cuz I wanna be surprised.

that would be great.
in the background of the HW demo you can hear 4 minutes playing, but i dont think that's it, as the rumour is that it is a 'classic' song, and 4 minutes is too recent.

The same people make heaps of these things, mostly about movies. Sometimes funny, but you have to wonder if they spend their whole time on doing this it sounds a pretty miserable life. I was going to reply on utube but couldn't bother. Like, it's not even supposed to be jesus, and art doesn't need to make sense...
