I've never seen the Drowned World or This Used to be My Playground music videos
-
I never understood why everyone hated the Sorry video - it's not perfect but I think it's a lot of fun to watch, I'd certainly watch it over Hollywood or 4 Minutes. But then I again I really like the Get Together and Jump videos lol
All I want from the next album is a sensual duet and topless photoshoot with Rihanna

Thank you so much Mattress for the Royal Box info/pictures! (and everything else you post)
Looking back now I understand why the GHV2 artwork is considered lackluster, but I was a relatively new fan back then, and seeing all the pictures of her in the booklet thrilled me for ages. This was back when I didn't know MadonnaShots existed, lol.

My question is - is Waiting about Warren Beatty? I recently read her 1991 Vanity Fair interview where she talks about (I'm paraphrasing here) how difficult it is to accept that you can't change peoples minds, and I instantly thought of Waiting.

Reinvention, Confessions, Sticky & Sweet and MDNA - all in Canada

While we're on the subject of album artwork variations, does anyone know if all the Like a Prayer booklets are now solely printed in black and white? I bought the album in 2001 and it came with a b&w booklet - it wasn't until years later on madonnadiscography.com that I saw that the centrefold photo was in colour, and that the end pages were powder blue. I thought I bought a faulty copy or something but it seems like they're now all printed in black and white...?

Omg thank you, thank you Le Smoking!! Those are perfect! The colors look great! Not too over-saturated.
Glad to help !

I think she performed La Isla Bonita before Erotica on the first night of the Confessions Tour.

Rescue Me! Though every time I listen to Angel I wonder what the video would've been like.
-
I watched the performances a few times - I found the editing a little jarring for some songs at first, but now I love everything. As many people have already said, the photos in Like a Virgin/Love Spent worked so well and gave it a great 70s vibe, and the crowd shots in Like a Prayer were so much fun. Though I do have a few minor quibbles -
GGW - I wish they showed much more of the screens during the dance break. It was absolutely electric live and the dance closeups took a lot of that away imo.
I Don't Give A - I wish they showed Nicki during the "there's only one queen and that's Madonna - BITCH" part, and I wish they focused on a singular shot of the very end when she raises her hand and "smashes" the cross behind her.

I used to love Hollywood when it first came out, but I haven't listened to it out of context in years.

A book where she catalogues and discusses all her visual output, and another on every single song she's released.

After Ray of Light and Music, this was the 3rd studio album of hers I heard and I loved it instantly. I've always thought that the record had 2 distinct halves - the first half is a lot more contemporary and dealt with pretty straightforward lyrics/sounds, while the songs from Forbidden Love onwards are the real "bedtime stories" - poetic, romantic and melancholic. The segue from Sanctuary into Bedtime Story is when she exits her mind and body and gets unconscious. And it's all so seamless and consistent, like an unfolding book, so I don't know why she said that she struggled with making the album sound cohesive with the different producers. I think it was her 1998 interview in Q where she said that a lot of people didn't "get" this record, and I think this was what she was talking about.

Waiting - I listened to it nonstop while going through a breakup.
-
I prefer the standard over the deluxe - she kinda reminds me of Jesus on the deluxe cover and the red is so striking, while the deluxe cover is exciting but is ultimately just a glam shot.
-
Live Nation plastic bags? Lame! I preferred these iconic bags.
They ran out of these bags at the Toronto show even before the show started !
practically every female in the building were buying Girl Gone Wild tees. -
it wasn't that hard to find darling....
the indigo in the Maulife Centre had around 50 copies...and 14 or so last time i was in.
oh? They totally sold out when I got there.
but either way I'm happy her magazines sell out
-
I FINALLY tracked down a copy of this today after searching/calling every bookstore and newsstand within 2 hours of me! It's been sold out everywhere !!
