. Funana fans unite. Love this sad sentimental bitter sweet song.
Funana is so personal. It probably broke her heart not to include Michael Jackson because she really loved him. I love Funana so much. I am so glad that I purchased the Deluxe box set.

We are 3 longtime madonna's fans: my sister, my best friend and I... every album they are less and less interested by her new music. For madame X it's terrible: they were first totally horrify by Medellin (let's say raggaeton Madonna is not what they expected to), then they watch eurovision (embarassed and bored). When the allum was out, there was not even one song they liked. I tried with god control, a bit of disco doesn't kill anyone, but they really dislike the album. I gave up. I said to them, guys you're not really a fan anymore, but in fact I was wrong, they listen more madonna's old hits than myself. In my case, I allways want Madonna to be praised, but in fact, I don't listen madame X, and even less and less madonna's music (except when I'm drunk or nostalgic or in a special mood). Maybe I'm the one who is becoming less and less fan. That why I really want her to look back and do a greatest hits tour or something for her legacy. Because 10 years without a commercial succes for a superstar like Madonna is too much to handle.
The difference between us is that I do not put people famous or other wise, in boxes. I do not try to dictate art or insist that it speak directly to my personal needs each and every time. There are billions of us on the planet and I respect that truth. And I don't participate in fan blogs with the purpose of killing the energy or informing people that there heroes are fading. I thank the powers that be each and every day that M did not stop after The Immaculate Collection. Madonna is the mother of reinvention and always has been and my journey with her has been magical. M has grown so much since Lucky Star, Like A Virgin and even Like a Prayer. Personally, I am far more interested in what M has to say today than what she said in 1985... 86...89. If I wasn't, I would not waste my time on a "fan" blog in 2019. It is a big world, find something that speaks to you but please don't waste your time telling others that our star is falling.

Nobody does ballads like Madonna. Nobody. Look at her last two albums alone and look at the quality of the ballads. Joan of Arc, HeartBreakCity, Extreme Occident, Looking For Mercy, etc. They have power and soul, which isn’t easy to capture. But Madonna captures it all the time.
I agree. M is a ballad master. We need a Something to Remember 2 some kind of bad. Susan Boyle remade You'll See and it was shit. There was nothing special about Susan's version. Susan can sing very well but it is M that makes her ballads sparkle. Every M remake that I come across fails the test and that is even more true when it comes to M's ballads. It is the magic inside of M that makes her ballads so beautiful. You can't practice that. You can't learn that and you can't counterfeit that.

This.
That remix is pointless. Atrocity.
Too low quality to really make that assessment really. I hear potential.

I’m really happy where Madonna is in her career. Rebel Heart and Madame X are her last two albums. WOW. Any artist would die to have just those two in their catalogue. These albums just enrich an already amazing career for Madonna.
Well said. So much beautiful music and that is just her last two records.

She is nowhere near the record, is she?

Oh wow.
talk about being condescending and patronizing.
It is called a reality check. Have you heard what passes off as a hit these days? And I didn't mean it as a complement.

Batuka is too deep for most people. It isn't a song about embracing being a fat girl, getting raunchy with a stranger, drinking heavily, or being a self aggrandizing celebrity. Those are the types of songs that people go for today. Narcissism and fluff are what is in and Madame X is entirely too intelligent and poignant for the general public. Batuka and the rest of the material is far too meaningful to be consumed by the general public. It is a special record full of special songs. Rejection in this case is the greatest aphrodisiac.

Personally I find Ghosttown a little "try hard" and doesn't sound fresh.
Wow! Ghosttown is a classic Madonna ballad. There is nothing "try hard" about it.

I don't find Madame X all that cohesive. The Latin, world music, pop songs all clash with each other. But I don't mind, since Iike nearly all of them.
For me, MX is the album I have been waiting for. While the last few albums have had their moments -- GITM, Beat goes on, love spent, falling free Avicii demos -- I haven't really liked more than half an album since Confessions. THIS is the I may be 60 and radio won't touch me anymore, but I am still going to do what I want and I am still a badass album I knew she could still make.
I am still astonished that there are 6! features here, and I LOVE them all! I was truly expecting a hot mess, considering how much I disliked 4 minutes and GMAYL. As well as champagne rose or whatever the hell was with Quavo. I was pissed at Diplo for Living for Love (he has done much better), and yet I love Future! I had always wanted a world music album from Madonna, here we go. I had even posted in another thread how I always felt Madonna was missing a happy to be alive song in her discography. Here's two! -- Ciao Bella and Come Alive. I was slight anxious about two of the songs Come Alive and Crazy, since I really liked other songs with those titles and that they would be hard to measure up. For me, they did!
The only slight disappointment is that I don't feel transported to Lisbon listening to MX like has described in interviews. For me, it is a pure pop album. Which is probably what I really wanted anyway.
Like others have said, the lack of any song charting anywhere, the album falling off the album charts in two weeks, no blockbuster tour to look forward to even, has dampened the excitement of this era. I think Madonna herself has accepted these things, I think it took MDNA and Rebel heart to get her to this point.
I wonder why Bruce Springsteen's or Cher's fans do not write their obituaries everytime that they do not chart appropriately? Oh yeah, because kiddie bop charts do not apply to legends.
As for the tour, you shouldn't write off a tour that has not even started yet. None of Madonna's tours have disappointed and Madame X will definitely deliver. Madonna is always best live.
MX is a play from the begining to the end sort of album. Madonna's greatest albums all are. Like a Prayer.... Erotica... Ray of Life.... American Life... Confessions... and Madame X.
And... Madonna's discography is massive enough to absorb a few tracks that you don't care for. She does have hundreds and hundreds of songs to enjoy. GMAYL is not her largest jewel in her crown but she has more killer tracks than you could fit on five or six albums.

Waste of time remixes. Thomas Gold’s is probably the best only because it’s slightly different from the usual dross her remixes have become.
Make your own if you can do better.

The mixes are just what I need right now. I so need to rise, up above it.... up above it all. Definitely will be purchasing when available. Anthemdonna is back. Xoxox

After a second mass shooting yesterday, in a night club, God Control is dead on arrival. No network or club is gonna play this song. Madonna's message is wonderful but it will not be perceived that way by the general public. They will see it as glorifying mass violence and making it "sexy". America has a problem and Madonna will be a scape goat as we would never blame our NRA party or their A+ ratings. Very tragic.

Wow this new MNEK remix is one of her best remixes in a long time.
Agreed. I love remixes that reinvent, revitalize but do not dillute the original

the remixes have been the only disappointment this era
The only disappointment for me has been the lack of remixes. Where are the complete Dark Ballet, I Rise, Crave, God Control, and Batuka remixes? I need them. I Crave them!
-
I actually love this remix. Of course, I purchased it and listen to it fully. I do not judge music without the receipts. Just saying. I purchased the Tracy Young remixes for I Rise tonight too. Have to support my Queen.

FG is my least favorite song on Madame X and I absolutely love it. What does that say about this record? Faz Gostoso is fire!
-
The video is absolutely gorgeous.

I love Crave just the way Madonna gave it to us... dripping with mmmmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm! Eargasm x1000%

Am I the only one that reeeally loves it? Out of so many tracks only 3 or 4 are trend-chasing, and Living For Love is her most underrated single ever, would’ve been a classic if it was released in the 90s. MDNA is the true stain in her discography, Rebel Heart is not.
I love Rebel Heart! You are not the only one. It was a great era.

Madame X is a great record as is.... but with the addition of the bonus tracks, it is phenomenal.
