  1. I think they wanted to tie Madonna in but they can't accuse her of not trying new thing. MAriah and Whitney are just formulaic cash cows but Madonna has challenged even her fans with musical changes in direction.

    I do think in part they are right in part about the identity crisis but ultimately, it's just another journalist writing what they want to read but not necessarily what is actually happening.

    And the part about Christina Aguilera? Is she still going?

  2. I feel bad for American Life. Snubbed on the CD and DVD. The Director's Cut definitely deserved to be there. I think it's a milestone in her career.

    I think it's a millstone in her career. Madonna has very wisely dropped it for the time being - both American and UK soldiers are dying at an horrendous rate in Afghanistan and to bung that on either offering would be a PR nightmare and miss the point of the collection.

    It's about celebrating her successes and enjoying her music and not out to make controversy at this point. It would unnecessarily overshadow other work if the journalists jumped on it.

  3. What's the point of a forum if we don't have differences of opinion??!

    The haters make some of the funniest comments and remarks. So long as they are not personal we should just sit back enjoy the ride - it's Madonna folks, not the United nations.

    I think we're all just bored of the wait now. It's been dragging on for so long we just want the bloody product.

  4. The DVD tracklisiting is great - I can completely understand AL not being released though given that the war in Aghanistan has taken over from Iraq and is a sensitive issue in both the US and UK with a lot of deaths recently. She pulled it originally and releasing it now wouldn't do her any favours.

    As for classics missing, I'm fine with that as they are available on other compilations - I'm just pleased there are so many exclusives - it's a surprise from Warner's!

    So, which videos still remain unreleased on an official DVD release? There can't be many now.

    Everybody

    Bye Bye Baby MTV

  5. I don't love it; it looks like a GAP commercial. But at least it looks a lot better than what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be full of those awful paint splatters graphics ... UGH. I hope she got some decent moves/choreography going on in this video because it is the only thing that can really make this from a mediocre effort to something interesting. From the stills it looks like she will be doing her jerky JUMP-type moves again which will make her look like she doesn't know how to dance properly around these young professional dancers.

    Good call. It may as well be her H&M advert part II. I like watching Madge in a vid not a load of extras from Step Up. Why can't she make an effort to appeal to her core fan base of ageing old queens and not a bunch of youngsters who thought Ray of Light was her first album?

  6. ^Those are Anna's quotes about the video details, and the last 2 is from Tribe, this is nothing new. The video premiere date was announced on Madonna.com and it's in a week.

    yeah, it was several days old but I hadn't seen some of it as this post updates so often. I thought I'd add it anyway for those that might have missed it.

  7. I found this at madonnatemple:

    The editing for the video is done and is about to be sent out to

    TV channels worldwide to be broadcast in about 10 days.

    Madonna is looking lovely in a short wig, a short black skirt and

    similar sunglasses to the ones she was recently wearing in Portofino…

    Many guests are to be expected including Jesus Luz, Lourdes Leon,

    a few dancers from the Sticky & Sweet Tour and some fans as well…

    A little controversy is to be expected as well as Madonna

    undresses Jesus Luz during the video!

    Apparently, director Jonas Åkerlund decided to use the album version

    of the song instead of the Benny Benassi remix!

    Also, some changes are to be expected in the Celebration album

    tracklist after some fans have expressed their discontentment

    with the use of Immaculate Collection versions for some tracks!

  8. I'm not sure how well Burning Up is known outside Madonna circles. It wasn't released at all in the UK. I doubt it really did much chartwise across the rest of Europe either. Still, between BU and Miles Away, I would dump Miles Away.

    It mentions Dress You Up LP edit - there wasn't an edit of the LP version? Do they mean just the standard LP version?

  9. It does seem odd that some albums have so many songs put forward and some others don't but unlike most artists, she's in a tough position to choose from so many hits. How many other people can have nearly 70 singles to choose from? It's testament to her stunning back catalogue that we can get our knickers in such a twist in the first place.

  10. um, he's face...?! He might be too young for my liking, but I don't think many would claim that his facial features are ugly.

    I say it "JEE-ZUS".

    I remember reading that Madonna introduced him to Harvey Weinstein as "Jesus".

    Someone said here a while back that it's not pronounced Hey-sus like the Spanish way - as he's Brazilian, it's pronounced more like Jee zus as it's Portuguese.

    As for his sideburns, I thought someone meant his pant moustache! That guy could do with a sack wax :lmao:
