  1. The saddest thing of all is that we will probably never see her in another role :( :( :( !!!!!

    I think she should ve been amazing in Mamma Mia but having in mind how look obsessed she is (which I loooooooooooooooooooooooove), she would ve never played a mother to a 20 years old!!!! But can you imagine Madonna singing most of ABBAs songs? I would ve died!!! And she would ve looked amazing in the movie I think!!!!!

  2. When people say that "she has to bring it"

    in the sense that she has to make a great album again ala ROL or COADF.

    and "she needs a really big hit", what do they mean?

    i think if she really tries and does something groundbreaking and from her heart, it will connect to lots of people as always and it will be hit. but a desperate attept at hit will make her just look stupid like 4 minutes. it didnt really feel like a madonna song...

    Because when i say that 4 Minutes, although number one over there did not help Madonna's image, and Sticky and Sweet didn't help either....

    because that song wasnt really her. it was t&t.

  3. the 2nd backlash was in 2003- mid 2004 (us and eu). it still hasnt ended in us. in eu it ended 05-08. now general public probably dont care in both eu and usa. she has to really bring it with the next album if she wants to be a force to be reckon with. just a great album will be enough to make all europeans crazy about her. i dont think she ll ever do amazing in usa from now on. she ll do big tours there and thats it. maybe a first single in top 30 but thats it. she ll probably never had another n 1 in usa.

  4. 1987 or 1988. I remember being just a kid but I still remember watching my cousin's video cassette with music videos. The first videos I saw of her were LAV and Material girl. I thought to myself that this is the most beautiful woman in the world. Later I bought a video cassette where there were the videos of La Isla Bonita and True Blue.

    My parents had LAV album. In 1989 I bought LAP album and I really loved it. I was amazed by Vogue and by BA, which I saw on tv.

    Erotica felt like a let down but I still played it very often. I didnt like BS too. I loved Evita and just when I thought she lost it, I heard ROL. Its one of my favourite albums. Music was a let down. So was AL. Then I really loved COADF (probably my fav album) and HC.

  5. I don't remember anyone hating Hung Up or Confessions in the beginning. If anything, it got loads of praise and then after a while people got tired of it and the disco theme but when Hard Candy came out Confessions seemed like the best thing since sliced bread in comparison.

    Or maybe that's just me.

    I had that feeling too. If I have to be honest it was the same for me. But then I began to really love HC. And I love it today, though not as much as COADF. HC is shaping into her most underrated album. It is actually a great MADONNA album. It is her, its pop, its great, it has some great lyrics and melodies.

  6. It was an inevitable flop IMO. It's just not a single. At least Hollywood or Lurve Profusion may have been minor hits. American Life came and went within like a week's time. I don't think it was the war shit or controversy that killed the album - it was THAT SONG.

    Unfortunately I must agree.Half of Music and AL were hard to listen to... The elementary melodies, the stiffness, the lack of any happiness, those were never her trademarks... She always touched people, because she was making first and formost pleasant, melodic, relatable music. That was not the case with AL and it rightfully flopped. But thanks to it we got the great COADF so it had some meaning.

  7. I like Celebration - the original one. Its so positive, I love it. I like its dated sound.

    The video though is horrid. She should just invest some time and money into her videos. How did she come from Frozen, Vogue, Express Yourself to this, I can still get it.

  8. Stuart Price in Attitude Magazine on Madonna not working with him after COADF: "Madonna felt that COADF hadn't been a success in the US. Warner records were also saying the same thing. She needed that voice that was telling her to do that and she looked at what was really successful in the US and although I think it wa...s a little late in the curve, she worked with Timbaland and Pharrell."

    L'invecchiamento, Photoshopped e bellissima Madonna.

    These shots are taken from the Dolce & Gabbana photo shoot Madge did back in April -not the sunnies one (though looking at those pictures, it isn't hard to tell where Gaga gets her style inspiration) -but for the chi-chi Italian label's 2010 Fall/Winter collection. This may or may not have been around the time she had a little something done to her face. Really? I don't care. It's not like she looks radically different (c'mon, she does not) nor is she trying to force some homogenized, Montagesque, Countess-Blandula-look onto her features. The Italiante features are still intact: the dark, large Latin eyes, the angular brow and chin, the full mouth. Here is a fine, fit 52-year-old fab-o woman keeping her sh*t together, and, if I may say so, doing it very, very well.

    Also? Nice rack.

    People are sniping over the Photoshopping. But I don't see anyone -apart from Diva Julia, actually -calling out Gaga for that Rolling Stone cover. This might come as a shock, but, it must be stated: the entire music/movie/fashion/celeb world relies on Photoshop. Men, women, kids, even pets. Who created this? Us? Them? We're back to the chicken/egg argument. Maybe being less harsh on older women is a start in broadening our perspectives and expectations; if we demand "au natural" from Madonna, we ought to demand it from all of D&G's campaigns, and, more broadly, from every single fashion designer, retailer, band, entertainer, performer ... everyone. And no one -repeat, no one -will be ugly, but simply unique and individual. No? Fantasy, you say? It only takes one person to change their perception. I adore the non-Photoshopped photos myself; she's just beautiful, though I'd love to hand her a facecloth to see the skin and not the makeup. That, alas, feels like a tall order.

    When it comes to actual plastic surgery, we expect our performers to look a specific way, and certainly Madonna is well-aware of the scales being tipped toward youth in the Western beauty stakes -especially when it comes to women. Some ladies choose the odd nip and tuck to complement their aging features -they're not "holding on to their youth(s)", forpitysake, they're doing maintenance. Just as there's nothing wrong with getting old, there's nothing wrong with a few fixings here and there, either. Minor keys, not major lifts (to borrow from Leonard Cohen) are what makes for aging gracefully. Madonna is a perfect example of this.

    Kudos, bella. I hope you get many boys to carry your groceries. When you're done, send them my way. I have that very same damn dress for a start --and the rack. I'm working on the wrinkle correction. Honest.

  10. Joni Mitchell Calls Bob Dylan Fake, Madonna Shallow

    Posted about 19 hours ago

    Decades after anyone really cares, Joni Mitchell has decided to launch all out attacks on the state of music, and the world at large. According to the LA Times, Mitchell says that Madonna was the crux at which the world became stupid and shallow (referring to Madge as Nero). She then said Bob Dylan was a fake:

    "Bob is not authentic at all: He's a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception. We are like night and day, he and I."

    Ouch. But it's not all doom and gloom. She did manage to blurt out that Jimi Hendrix was really as cool as he seemed.
