    yeah i'm not really sure what the purpose of these remixes are. i'd just as well listen to the album mix.Ā 

    True. I listened to the original after I played the remix and the album version is much more interesting sonically.

    Although you could describe it as a quite repetitive track on first listen, there's something in its structure and arrangement which is just so unique and what grabs me throughout the song.
    There's so much tension and mystery about it, don't really know how to describe it.

    Most of these nuances get lost in the remix.

    The outro is stunning indeed.Ā  Actually wish the choir tooĀ was used more during the song.Ā 

    Flip the Switch,Ā  I know.Ā  I do love this song but actually feel that her vocals are a bit off in this.Ā  For the first time ever,Ā  she sounds nasal to me in this.Ā  Madonna never sounds nasal so a bit of a shock.Ā Ā 

    She sounds kind of raspy, right? It's very different, but I actually think it adds to the song's vibe. For the pre-chorus, she switches to that soft, high and almost innocent tone which is a great contrast.Ā 

    Many people complained about the autotuned vocals on Madame X, but what I really love are her diverse vocal deliveries. My fav section is Killers - Crave - Crazy - Come Alive - Extreme Occident. For each song she chose a different vocal style. Amazing!Ā

    Having said that, I can see why some may not rate it as highly as others. It's more of a "mood" track than a full-on, blows-your-mind song.šŸ™‚

    True. Also, I wasn't instantly impressed by it, but its magic unfolds more with each listen.

    There's so much attitude and soul in it. The vocal delivery is sublime, as @Jazzy JanĀ said. In another thread someone was complaining about the autotune, but I think it's very subtle (if used at all, the verses sound pretty natural). I LOVE its use during the choruses towards the end when her note gets pitched up. "I don't seeeeaaaaa---eearch...". You know what I mean?Ā

    When she sings ā€œmy god look at me nowā€ she is like aĀ 90s rock goddess andĀ that energy..Ā I have never heard her sing like that before. Wow. Thatā€™s what make the song so special.Ā 

    Yes, my favourite part of the song. I love it very much. Phenomenal pre-chorus and great, catchy chorus.

    The only minor criticism I have is that the portuguese part of the chorus has a slightly more muffled sound quality which makes it obvious that it was another vocal take.
    Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely NO problem with spliced vocal takes, it's a totally normal part of vocal production, but I don't like it when it's audible.

    However, her delivery per se is very charming and the bilingual chorus makes it even more special.
