  1. I wouldn't jest if I didn't know she was ok. :agnetha:

    As for her suing the paparazzi, talk about biting the hand that feeds. With all the recent pics of her and Jesus, many of which the paparazzi must have been tipped off about, she is not in position really to complain.

    It's very easy for stars including Madonna to drop out of the limelight, despite what people read.

    IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE PAPARAZZI, DON'T BUY THE BLOODY MAGAZINES OR LOOK AT THE SITES!

    We are responsible for their existence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY AND REMOVE THEIR OXYGEN!

  2. I have to agree with what you stated regarding "the most iconic".

    I like to add, that later generations will not be familiar with many of the photos posted in this thread. I do think "True Blue" will be more recognizable by the masses, yet their will be generations which will not recognize it and even more know who Madonna may be to the extent we know her.

    I feel so old sometimes when I read people saying their first album was Ray of Light or Music!

    I consider myself a latecomer as I only bought Like A Virgin in the summer of 85, albeit without Into The Groove on, then buying Madonna a few weeks later. At the time, I was pissed off when they add ITG to the former and a new cover to the latter.

    Yeah, to me her really early stuff is the most iconic as that is what made her famous. True Blue was the first time she was really taken seriously and the album cover did a lot to convince people of her maturity as an artist.

  3. I wonder if this is just some spin. Why would they say it was a Madonna 'classic' and then say "The Look of Love" which had a limited release and didn't do very well. I love this song but it doesn't add up.

    As for Who's That Girl - it will be interesting to see it done but I am not expecting a highlight.

  4. I think the first real one I can remember was the "Healthy" T-shirt one with her armpits on view! So many people saw that and were amazed she wasn't cleanly shaven it got everybody talking. It's still a classic though. I even saw it on the wall in Eastenders!

    There's also the one with the black mesh vest and frizzy hair with the yellow and purple lights. That was very big and got used a lot.

    True Blue is a definite all time classic, as is the crotch grab from Express Yourself, the vogue shot, DSS movie poster, Material Girl vid and the BA conical bras. Subsequently, the cowboy hats from Music are always at her tours for sale, favoured by the slappers here :england:

  5. I still think it's a more interesting album that COADF, it's better produced than American Life, it doesn't just descend into sameyness like ROL, it's more fun than Music.

    Thinking about it though, I could quite easily remove Candy Story, Incredible, Spanish Lesson and the original mix of 4M. I just happen to love Dance 2night, Beat Goes On, Give It 2 Me and Miles Away. Voices and DWRY are ok too. Repackaged without the ropey boxing theme, this could be a much bigger hit.

    I'm thinking of creating Confessions of a Candy Store and combining the songs I like from the two to make one killer album to listen to.

  6. Dont forget though, that the Lottery show was a blank canvas. But X factor has a music pretext which is quite disturbing and distracting. While I don't think it is impossible, I don't think it's likely. I mean Madonna is so obviously adamantly against these talent scouring shows.

    Has she said so? I'm sure if she could get some great publicity and sales she would do it like a shot. But yes, I would be concerned about the live singing - if it were a dance track, then her vocals are notoriously weak and it would be bad to appear and sing flat when there are technically better singers auditioning. But miming would be even worse!

    I wonder if that is why she hasn't done it before?

  7. I love Oakenfold's remixes of Hollywood and Give It 2 Me - they are two of my favourites ever but I wonder about his actual song writing abilities. I suppose he will supply the sound and she will do the rest. It's odd though as his star is fading rather than normally picking people on the up.

    If we don't get our hopes up, we might get something good by surprise!

  8. It wouldn't surprise me if she did do it. She did TV promos for COADF and the National Lottery for Frozen and it paid off but she didn't for HC and I think it really suffered not reaching the general public. If Beyonce, Britney and Mariah can do it, M shouldn't think she is above it. It would be great publicity and a quick win.

    Yes, it might be cheesy but music entertainment is so segmented these are the few shows where you can reach people who wouldn't go out and search for her stuff by themselves.

  9. I still think it is her best album since Bedtime Stories - pop songs and ballads. 4m and Spanish Lesson aren't so great but there are some real gems on there. Remarketed and with M not having all the personal problems, this album could have been huge.

  10. I think he meant "gem" in the sense of an unreleased older track, just like how Guy Oseary said it:

    "We are trying to get two new tracks on the album. But not sure if they should be "never before heard" gems, or simply start from scratch."

    The gem will probably be one of the widely leaked tracks like Revenge or Gone, Gone, Gone to teach us a lesson for internet piracy. :tongue:

  11. I prefer the demo of TAB without Babyface's vocals. I think it is superior but out of all the BS tracks, I would not be bothered if it got missed off. I prefer Love Tried to Welcome Me and Inside of Me of that album.

    I really hope they do go all out with a massive retrospective even if it were a limited edition but I really am expecting a half-arsed hits compilation with the bare minimum staples.

    Can we get Guy to confirm anything? Like if we actually have a say or if this just some lame attempt to get some hype. If the track listing is decided, why are we bothering!

    PS: I love Oakenfold's remixes of GI2M and Hollywood so I am looking forward to a collaboration.
