remember the leaks for Hard Candy? There were all sorts of misleading clips of music that gave no idea of the final result.

The whole point of it is that it is ordinary. Did you all not get that? Its an album that is essentially a celebration of living. Much like her whole career is...But I think the idealistic hedonism that MUSIC initiated as iconography totally suited the album and the era that ensued. I personally think no title could have fitted the album better...
It's not an album that I think of as a celebration of living - the single maybe but not the whole album. But like most things, it is all open to personal opinion and each person's views should be respected.
Paradise (Not for Me) would have worked equally as well if they had gone with a different art concept. Amazing would have worked well in place of Music. WIFLFAG would have been a great title too. In fact, may of the song titles could have worked as the album title. It's just that we are used to it now like all her other ones.
I'm just not bothered about song titles - it's the actual song that is important. Don't Stop was fine as a title but has the worst lyrics - "sing ladidahdi"

Speaking of the CRUSHINGLY PEDESTRIAN....
My surgeon takes care of that.
I hope it's not the same one as Kylie's - judging by your avatar, the "House of Wax" look is all the rage.

btw, here's a 320 KPB HQ Version of the Oakenfold Dub
thanks very much for this by the way! Do you actually have the promo?
Denmark often seems to get the lead on her songs. They had a promo for Music Inferno too.
A new song, new video, new remixes!
*pop*

"Erotica" had most of its lyrics removed, "Deeper And Deeper" had a new melody, both of them are almost brand new songs in those incarnations. Coincidentally both of the originals were on GHV2, it's not like she ever dug "Bad Girl" out or something.
"Rain" was only half of the chorus in an interlude video. Also, from all of her studio albums, it's only Erotica & AL that didn't have any live performances on the current tour.
They were still used in one form or another though. I just don't believe she has a problem with either of these albums. Yeah, they are not used on S&S tour but she's dropped Hung Up now and there is no COADF either but I don't think she has ditched that album either. It's just she has such a large back catalogue to choose from. She can't represent every album, every time.
I will be pleased when the bloody tracklist is released and then people can get on whinging about that instead beating the shit out of anyone who makes a suggestion one way or another.

I can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that the name of the single was changed at the last minute because Madonna did not feel it appropriate to release a song called Celebrate after such a tragic accident in Paris last week, when people were killed and seriously injured at her concert. In fact Madonna herself tole me that she wanted to scrap the release altogether and replace it with a re-release of her 1992 smash, This Used To Be My Fairground. After much persuasion from record company execs, she agreed that this was not a good idea and relented on the proviso that the track be renamed. This is also the reason for the delayed release date - they'd already begun to press the original CDs so look out for some very rare items surfacing on auction sites soon.
UNTIL NEXT TIME
14th Sept is a long way a way. I don't like it when they release a song to radio too soon because people are bored of it or have illegally downloaded it before it is even out.
-
We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. But given that in the years since the releases of both Erotica and American Life she's tended to handle most of the songs like soiled diapers - at arm's length, in rubber gloves, and with a pair of tongs - I think it's probably safe to assume that there won't be teasers featuring images or music from either album.
Erotica, Deeper and Deeper and Rain have all featured on recent tours - I think she is very proud of both bodies of work. Just because the reception wasn't great, does not mean to say that she doesn't like them.
I didn't think I would ever see the day when she would sing Material Girl again but she did. If she can pull that one out of the bag, I think anything else from her back catalogue could spring up (except American Pie which would be pushing it

Hi
I personally believe that ALL True Blue singles should be included in this collection...
If there is any album in her career which spawned consistent massive worldwide hits with all single releases then it is True Blue...
I would love to be a fly on the wall throughout the tracklisting dicussions...
I just wish/hope they are using a traditional 'method' to compile the tracklisting of a greastest hits. That way it shouldn't really matter if they include 'only' 1 track from BS but 4 tracks from LAP, nothing from AL but 5 tracks from TB...
A hit is a hit regardless of what era/album it comes from and therefore thats what should be represented on this album and if that means bypassing some of her work e.g. AL in favour of bigger/older hits then so be it...
Can't wait for the official tracklist to be revealed no doubt there will be some odd inclusions e.g. YMLM over DCFMA!
Anyway hope i'm making sense!
Kev
I assume you are looking at it from a US chart perspective. If you follow the British charts, one of her largest markets, every single she has had has gone top 40 since Like A Virgin. Every single from LAV except MA has gone Top 20 and a majority have gone top 10 - around 60 singles. It just won't happen that every single will be included. A two disc set is the most we could expect.
-
Firstly, I have missed the second video? I have been through this post a few times and can only see TB and ITG but no HU?
Secondly, I am slightly concerned they have used the IC mix of ITG and not the original!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope we are not getting that mix again!
-
It made it to number 4 in December, when there were loads of novelty records in the chart and it pushed True Blue ahead of Brothers In Arms to be the biggest selling album on 1986, so to say it wasn't loved is wrong.
Not wrong at all. I mean it isn't loved in the UK in the way other songs by her are loved. The guys from the US here seem to have such a fondness for OYH that just doesn't seem so apparent on this side of the pond. As for pushing ahead of Brothers in Arms, that album was released in May '85 so after 18 months of release, I would expect TB to push ahead.

Must admit, this was funny ten years ago but everyone has done it now including the Spice Girls so time to ditch the drag queens persona stuff. It would be better if it were just Madonna fans dressed up rather than professionals. More fun.
Still, I will look forward to the Madonna bits.
-
can't say I'm impressed but it's only a snippet and only an advert. At least they are doing some promo work!
-
her last truly great and original show.

I say thay should suppress TIC /GHV2 ONLY digitally at least for now
a couple of things about TRUE BLUE .. the make my video contest was only in the US ...IN THE REST of we all got the "car video" it was cute and simple , also TB was a bigger hit than LIB that song has grown in stature due to time and inclusion on many tours . At the time of TB release it was another HUGE single by Madonna .. no one expected OYH to come an overshadow it.
23 yrs later EVERYONE remembers PDP and OYH but at the time critcs praised the 60s retro pop feel of TB. I hard to believe now that madge had so many big singles back to back that they were stepping on each other ; I think in the hits collection they should acknowledge that and put the hits that some may have "forgot" .
In the UK, Open Your Heart has not overshadowed TB. From reading posts here, clearly OYH was a huge hit in the US but in the UK I don't think it is nearly as loved. The video is remembered for it's basque but TB and LIB are equally remembered and from a song perspective, probably more popular. They were both No.1s here too whereas OYH only made it to No.4.
If she only put LTT, TB and LIB on, I don't think there were be too much argument over here for dropping the others.
-
the funny thing is that Guy O asked on twitter what song needs to be on the record .... that shows you that he probably doesn't even know Madonna's catalogue! ahahahhaah
I think that anything he does is a token gesture for the fans and I don't think the majority of what we say has any reflection on the final result. Madonna releases what she wants to release. I'm sure if there was an astonishing amount of votes for American Life, she would go for it but if it were something like True Blue, I think she would just decide her own way.
I'm not sure where I stand on True Blue. Ultimately, I've got every bloody version of every single anyway so I am more interested on whether anything is being remixed and the new songs.
-
I certainly hope so! a new YCD would be great
No it wouldn't! I don't want 7 tracks remixed just for the sake of it. I mean a friggin' alarm clock!
-
I haven't checked out the other pages so forgive me if this has been posted...
Here is a leak of the single by French radio.
-
No, I won't have that. This is a pretty decent song, though lyrically abysmal. These sales are crazy, well above any expectation. I support JLS for being social trailblazers - they're the first UK black band in chart history to make a legion of white teen girls WET. I don't know any of their names but a couple of them look ABSOLUTELY FUCKABLE in the video to this song. One has a really nice face, another has fantastic arms. A DESERVED #1.
What about MN8?
-
I heard Radar on the radio. It's just the same old monotone electro pop like the last few singles. Really terrible and uninspired. She could still get number one but she doesn't deserve it with this song. It's appalling.
-
Most of the remixes from COADF were monumentally bad - dull electro rubbish that just didn't do anything to the songs. PSB and Paper Faces mixes were about the only exceptions.
This wins hands down but there was never much competition!
-
I don't rate JA videos really. ROL is unoriginal, American Life contrived and not great, Music was ok but a pretty simple concept and Jump was just knocked out in a day although I like parkour running around Tokyo.
However, I do like the song and dub mix is enjoyable enough. I can really hear how Get Together would fit over the top of it so I expect a mash up soon.

I'm totally with you!
Let's wait for the full stuff but I fell the same about the dated sound of it
We've always the remixes to look forward to - Calderone, Rauhofer and Tracy Young anyone
-
she's definitely been inspired by Calvin Harris' "I'm Not Alone", using the early/mid nineties club sounds like in Frozen. I was reading that after years of landfill indie and R&B, people are getting back into the older style club music and just wanting to dance. Classic rave nights are springing up. It's very Europop.
I expect it will tank in the US though.

I wonder if Deeper and Deeper will finally get a video release? I can't imagine the banana eating scene being too controversial now. Burning Up has also not been released on DVD. I doubt we will get any film soundtrack videos.
2 CD set though is good news.
As for the cover, out of all the shots of her that could have been used, it wouldn't have been my first choice but there we go. However, it wouldn't surprise me if there are more than one cover at least for the two different CDs.
