She looks incredible, especially in the blond bangs. I fear so much for her sometimes but I understand and see why she is so fearless...someone has to be. That said, I hope the tour is fucking secured. I always am nervous when she's on a stage...the crazies with guns are crazy.

I wonder about that I bought the album on Amazon and it automatically put me on their music service. I normally use Spotify I will probably keep doing that to be safe
No buying an album and agreeing to an Amazon Unlimited Music trial are completely separate. You good.

I fail to c how the lyrics are cringy. Unless empathy is an Alien concept. Even the explanation is in there. I KNOW WHAT I AM AND I KNOW WHAT I'M NOT. The question is 'Do u know who you are? *Do u know, Diane?'*
Cringe is now a dismissive buzzword to discard her. The song is classic Madonna message ... we are one and I will fight for you.
Sadly empathy IS becoming an alien concept.

Also I wished she would have come up with a better title than Bitch I'm Loca especially so soon after BIM.
I think the song title is a direct F YOU to all the moan of arcers about BIM. Madonna’s English verse/bridge is an album highlight

“The pressure to be silenced comes and goes,” she muses. “Let’s see what happens when my record comes out.”
The most important thing SHE says in the interview. She knows.
“This latest incarnation seems, perhaps, more intentionally unknowable than any version of the original superstar we’ve seen before. The eyepatch is armour, the name a defence.”
The most important thing HE says in the interview. She’s not willing except in the music.

But I redeemed weeks ago
It’s like a preorder you good. It counts from release day if the redemption was prior.

If we redeem the Madame X albums from June 14-20, will they count on first week sales?
I mean if we redeem on June 18, then they ship the album on June 22, do they count at the time when we redeem it by email or the time that they ship the albums to us?
Anyone can explain it?
Thanks
It’s a sale the moment it’s redeemed and will count from that date.

It’s clear from MDNA and RH the Deluxe is her album (even the cover reflects this) and the omissions for a standard are the record company mandate. This album is 15 tracks.

Let the Brazilians be insane and stream/make her song a hit!

Redeem Redeem Redeem the tour tickets. Just click and find an address in the US to send it to. It’s 2 minutes.
And push out the inevitable diminish because of the ticket bundle.

are they predicting 80-100k?
that's actually quite good. I was expecting lower (sorry, is that bad of me to admit? has nothing to do with the album, just the promo or lack of CDs in stores..)
It’s a great opening. No one buys cds anymore! I too am pleasantly surprised. Good going on the ticket bundle.

Mirwais has revealed himself as her most versatile producer. I wish she stays with him as a team FOREVER.
If I didn’t know it was Mirwais I wouldn’t have guessed. He’s on her genius level. They elevate each other’s individuality. Team Forever!

"It's a weird kind of energy
A bizarre thing that happens to be
An abnormal fraternity
And I feel more than sympathy"I wish this part was longer and was more prominent in the song! It's classic Madonna!
The most colossal moment on the album for me. Classic Madonna reminding us she could do this for a whole album if she wanted. Woke up with it in my mind.
The song is incredible and a MOOD...which I’ve caught today. It’s why I love Madonna..this message in this song.
I hope she’s dancing onstage in the video!
I feel this album is like the Drowned World Tour...with a few moments of Holiday mixed in so you know it’s all deliberate and not for our amusement. She’s a God.

I’ve literally been twerking to this since I woke up...this and God Control got me

He buries the lead...which is that the album is fire...with endless dismissal of her music since Confessions and the Madame X alter ego...and for the record...she used one with DITA and VERONICA ELECTRONICA...so she didn't copy Yonce on Sasha Fierce (as if).
The reviews are exhausting. -

Brazil is going nuts with this, they already created tons of lyric videos and mashups
I’ve gone nuts too. I must’ve listened 100 times today.

Honestly, having now seen the interview and also having read the reactions to her in this interview, I can understand why. Yes, she's "iron clad" Madonna and she's dealt with so much worse but fuck I would hate to be her. Obviously, we've seen her much more relaxed in interviews but in no way was she a bitch or rude so to read some of the absolute meltdowns over this just seems a bit over the top. Then again, that's the name of the game these days......a storm in a teacup over the most innocuous things. Then in the same breath people wonder why she's not Ms. Congeniality at every event she attends......hmmm......probably because she's fucking scared to look (or not look) at someone the wrong way cuz it means she's a bitch, or god forbid say the "wrong thing". I swear to God, she could say something as innocent as she prefers strawberries to blueberries and within 5 minutes the world's blueberry farmers will have dragged her on every social media platform known to man with comments to supporting them. Obviously, I'm being facetious but truly.....it doesn't take much for people to completely lose their shit......and all over nothing.
It's worth noting that the "career ending" performance of less than a month ago has barely had a mention in even the worse of MX reviews. Yet it was TRULY the end of the world for some.
We never learn. This cycle will be repeated many more times before the end of the era. God forbid she doesn't check everything off of everyone's personal list for the tour. But yeah....NO IDEA why she'd EVER seem a little uncomfortable
NOT. A. CLUE. 
On top of the fact she’s likely not sleeping, exhausted from rehearsals, dozens of interviews with imbeciles and being Madonna. Yes, she’s likely terrified because outrage can come for anything. Look at the drudgereport right now, a Sun interview and Guardian interview, both good...but the headline is “Madonna declares war on Instagram.”
I think she looks like she’s about to cry always lately. And her posture in that outfit is stiff and fabulous like the dancer she is. Her centered confidence throws off those without it.
I love the outfit.

Still dead a day later. Hungover from the brilliance. It’s an emotional experience this album.
Now all day I thought - this Madonna making this record is IN LOVE...I think she feels safe in the love she’s found - and then in the Today show interview she confirms the love and she looks so in love. Human in her love. I hope it lasts for her she so deserves it.
Love is freedom!

Can someone help me GET the lyrics “I wasn’t lost “ then the the “thing that hurt the most wasn’t that I wasn’t lost”?? Just don’t get it
Watch the Today show interview she explains it perfectly...literally answers your question. #paradox

WOW. I love when he called her "fierce & simultaneously vulnerable!"
Yes! I notice a delicate fragility that may be love or may be the relentless pressure of media scrutiny and fatigue. It was also apparent in the Today interview after the GLAAD awards ceremony. So powerful but so close to tears. She’s a peaceful warrior.

The final 30 seconds or so really moves me. It is this resilient song but those final melancholic seconds maybe expose the ''hurt'' that is caused by the things the song is reacting against..Or maybe it is the sound of gloom caused by the realization that it is not going to be such an easy thing to do, to change how things are going in the world. This song exposes a lot of emotions and, I'm just gonna say this, it is a masterpiece. It is growing with each listen.
I think the song shifts into a Lament at the end. It’s powerful.

It’s amazing and I love the repetition...which is a staple of Madonna’s (best) music.

The onslaught of outrage will come and she knows it. I support her 100%. She's an incredible artist and role model.
