I don't know if that's the intent with the DB vocals, but it's one way to look at it anyway.
The effects on the non-Nutcracker sections could be similar to the reasoning for GC.
-
In GC, she explained that it's like her lips are wired together, though that won't stop her from speaking. In DB, the distorted Nutcracker section, I dunno, just seems like it's meant to sound scary- because what happened to Joan of Arc indeed was scary, eh?
-
^Indeed. CULTURALLY ENRICHING, she continues to be.
As for the "old man" line, Trump's only 12 years or so older than M- would she really be calling him "old"?
-
I don't mind the vocal effects too much- at first, they can be a little jarring, but there's a purpose behind it, especially in tracks like DB and GC.
Plus, it's not like we don't get to hear her "regular" voice on the album.
-
Perhaps the beach scenes were shot when Madonna wasn't in Portugal? Anyhow, who was freaking out about it? For myself, I simply pointed it out ; it wasn't meant to be a serious thing. It certainly shouldn't take away from the video experience.
"Batuka" is an excellent addition to M's incomparable videography.
-
The standard edition also has the nice cover, and some pics not in the deluxe edition. They all serve their purpose.
-
Madonna rising the horse is one thing. Hopefully someone can post that quick side shot of the face from "Batuka." We know that M had a body double for the video, which was the figure we see in the beach scenes- hence, the lack of views of her face.
This is not a big deal- as someone mentioned, she's had body doubles before.
-
Nope, doesn't matter that it wasn't her on the beach- just kinda funny that they went to the trouble of hiding the face for almost all of it, but then that one quick side view where you can see it's not her slipped in.
-
@boy skeffington They only show a side view of the brunette figure on the beach- and, to me, it didn't look like M. The face is hidden in every other shot. And, yes, it's certainly her in the house parts.
-
Very nice video- and moving.
In one shot, you can see it's not M, though, on the beach with the women.
-
May be able to add RM to that list of songs featuring the women.
W/ill have to try another computer'; it keeps pausing after so many seconds.
-
Sideris- why cry, as long as it's available to view *somewhere*? Nonetheless, it will probably be on Vevo/YouTube.
If anyone's thinking in terms of charts- M's tracks are unlikely to get enough views to chart on the Hot 100, no matter what day the video is released.
-
Bring it on, Madame.
-
I guess we've heard all of her comments on older songs/videos, as TheTagPolice has not posted any new ones lately.
-
The remix was already sent to clubs, I imagine (given its charting). This is a commercial release, though I guess it could inspire some DJs to play it.
-
Iconic F- the "Dark Ballet" was also released on a Friday, wasn't it? Not that it matters, given that even with a full seven days in a premiere week, her views can't compete with today's "current" acts, especially in the USA.
Just enjoy the work.
-
"Batuka" wasn't one of my favorites when I first heard it (the repetition, but then I "got" it), but I've come to enjoy it. Looking forward to the video.
-
^Yah- sounds good.
For extended counts, "Paradise (Not For Me)" and "Iconic: could be fourth clips for Music and Rebel Heart, respectively. Then there's also "Nobody Knows Me," though that was years after American Life; but it could still count as a video. I forget what kind of footage "Best Friend" had as a video interlude.
Hoping she features prominently in "Batuka, with her "castmates."
-
GT- are we counting "Bye Bye Baby" from the VMAs as a video? Tour backdrop videos could extend an album's count, too, if produced in that era.
Looking forward to the "Batuka" video.
-
How in the world has the album dropped 823 positions from yesterday on UK iTunes?!?
-
Shaun, three digital copies of the same item? I hope you forwarded the links to a couple of others to spread the MX gospel.
That difference in the one shirt, what was advertised vs. actual product, indeed is ridiculous.
-
Didn't think about that with her mother, but it makes sense.
I like that she professed her love for vinyl.
-
Still GC for me, though many are worthy to take its place.
-
Thanks for posting. More Mirawis, as one of her more experimental collaborators, is a good thing. I think some of the AL tracks perhaps weren't varied enough from each other (think th tracks starting with the guitar licks), but that's not an issue on their MX collaborations.

Yes, no shocker, and it will be no shocker when the Granny/Shammy nominations come in.
