I think this is the worst she has looked since that green lawn dress but even then facially she looked stunning. This makes her look like a knackered bunny girl. Did she sit with the talent vacuum Victoria Beckham? I can't believe she is that desperate for PR that she is seen with someone who has kept themselves in the spotlight doing nothing but buying PR and staying in a sham marriage with her dull husband.
-
I agree with many of the above and I think Jimmy, Jimmy probably wins it. I think Pretender is pretty corny too.
-
For me it is Into The Groove - to create a pop song so perfect and so early in her career proves her talent. Subsequent huge songs have their place but this was just her and Stephen Bray, before all the producers were brought in. A simple song about a boy who caught her eye. It came out of nowhere and Madonnamania exploded on a worldwide scale.
No pretense, no hype. Just pop genius.
-
It makes me laugh how they say she is much more talented than Madonna! We've heard it a thousand times. So, far, she has got some good pop songs but is so bland on video. When Madonna looks at you on screen, there is a sexual intensity. When Gaga looks at you, there is just a vacant expression. Too over styled as well - no defining, individual look. Just wearing whatever is in.
-
I think Oakenfold is suffering from being around for so long - if exactly the same music was produced by some upcoming DJ like Deadmau5, I think the reaction would be entirely different.
-
I didn't really like the electro remixes from AL like Felix Da House Mount Sims - I hope they are more COADF electro pop.
-
The whole Erotica period was brilliant from a video perspective. I loved them all.
There are very few bad videos she has made really. LDLHA and YMLM aren't great but she was pregnant for those so I can forgive her and 4M doesn't do much for me either. Other than that, she has a superb body of work.
Compare it to Prince and Michael Jackson - Prince videos are always very cheaply made and not very inspired. Michael Jackson's were ground breaking for Thriller but after that just became dull, bloated efforts.
-
As I said before, I think the packaging would be a concept just using old photos. Any project like this would create mock ups and various designs before agreeing on a final one.
I hate the photo but I like the way the package folds out as a crucifix. Totally Madonna.
-
I'd be happy if one of the songs was as strong as Flo-rida's 'Right Round' . It's just been No.1 in the UK and is a great pop track but I am hoping for a move away from all that RnB stuff. All those tracks suffer from over production. As for DJ Frank, I find it strange some homeboy would jump into bed with Madonna - surely it would kill any street credibility?
Just give us a good pop song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I assumed they were just doing it for the interest they could make on all the money. I really don't think the concerts will happen or at least, only the first few will happen.
However, given how many loony fans have had surgery to look like him, it would not surprise me if they just stick one of those on with a fedora over the eyes to do all his old (see also: tired and repetitive) moves.
-
im glad this cover is a REJECT.......that VanityFair cover shot is old news now and
its waaay over used....try takin a new pic madonna...please?
i do like the tree top birdie crow pic tho.
I would have thought that any pictures used were purely to give an idea of the packaging overall? Once they have decided on the packaging, they can go off and create a shoot in line with the final product rather than doing a shoot and then creating the packaging around it.
I'm sure Madonna will decide the look she wants to go with later on and can work with the photographers in line with the product requirements.
Three songs is great though - so long I like them and the rest of the compilation hasn't got some glaring omission!
-
HC already had 2 sounds on it by 2 teams, adding a totally different third one would have made it into a mess.
I don't see how Stuart could have made the album "huge" though, when "4 Minutes" would have been the only thing to get major attention anyway.
I meant, lessening the presence of the other producers and having more of Stuart to create a general flow which is not really there.
4M is a real odd one. Although the single was massive, I think it actually had a negative effect on the album. It scored by picking up Madonna fans, Justin fans and the Timbaland sound that was very in. But, I think a lot of people would see that as representative of the album and not want a whole album of that sound by Madonna.
Back to the original point, have the PSBs produced anything for anyone else recently? They did quite a good job with Minelli but that was 20 years ago.
-
EH ? you got something against the UK ?
I don't think it is an anti-British statement. I think many Madonna fans see it as a fresh start and an end to the last ten years of her experimentations with all sorts of producers, the funny British accent, preachy religious stance and hopefully a return to her roots.
I'm a Brit and would like to think we will get a much more US clubby sound like Erotica or the First Album without all heavy presence of the lastest trendy producer and some thinly-veiled preachy Kaballah rubbish.
-
Surely Timabaland is far more guilty of regurgitating his sound that Pharell? Pharell's stuff on HC was great but the production on 4M sounded like a sea lion honking a load of horns in a circus.
Personally, I'm not sure the Pet Shop Boys could have done Madonna justice. They haven't really had a classic song that has caught the public attention in over 10-12 years. Really Go West was their last big song with staying power and that wasn't theirs anyway.
I do think that if Stuart had come in on some of Hard Candy and the urban feel was lessened and the overall look redesigned the album would have been huge.
-
Excellent news. She is obviously fine after her recent fall so all is well. If it is Oakenfold as rumoured, I think we should get something good - the style of his own songs is not too heavy on the production which I think is what she needs after Timbaland.
-
if alfred hitchcock and janet leigh had a falling out - would either remove each other from their reels? get real jonski!!!
Get real, Pud - This is Madonna! I'm surprised he still has kneecaps.
-
"Offical Website"?
Anyhoo, did someone say her NEW LA appartment? Are they are speaking terms now or did the NEW go back to before they fell out?
Also, he has videos from The Girlie Show and Blond Ambition on his side showing his directorial stuff. If they had fallen out, wouldn't she remove all that?
-
Oh it would be great if Doves could hang on the Top 3 for a second week. That would make up for not reaching the top position. And it baffles me how easily Calvin Harris got to Number One while M's "Get Together" struggled. Without GT, "I'm Not Alone" would have never existed.
I think that is seriously overstating GT which is a pleasant enough tune but not a strong track...
Calvin Harris's track is a classic and it owes a lot to the house sound of the mid-nineties that was huge in the UK.
Have to say that I am not aware of the Doves track though.
-
I really don't know what to think! Her interpretation of classics is so hit and miss now, I will just wait and see what she does with it although I am expecting just an acoustic version in the Spanish bit.
-
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!
-
Must be time to get those cheeks plumped up again. Another ruse for her to go to hospital and appear with mysterious brusing around the face.
Convenient the paps were there...
:flirt2:

I always thought ROL was really boring and unoriginal. I prefer Give It 2 Me by miles.
My favourite might have to be Deeper and Deeper. Just love the club vibe with the dark undertones.
-
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.
-
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.

Out of all the GI2M remixes, his was the best by a mile. Eddie Amador and Jody Den Broder's were just standard club efforts that have been around for 15 years and Fedde Le Grand's mixes were forgettable although the sound of 'now'. Pete Tong's were just awful and Sly and Robbie's were pointless. He also produced one of the few decent remixes from the American Life album for Hollywood. However, his remixes for Sorry and WIFLFAG were very dated and unoriginal.
