Because my husband is considerably younger than I am, I do find myself preaching to his gay friends why Madonna is one of the LGBTQ community's greatest ally. It's really sad that so many do not have a frame of reference and actually believe people like Gaga or Taylor did more, when none of these artists put themselves out on a limb as much as Madonna did at the height of the AIDS epidemic. But it's not even the ignorance that bothers me, it's the disrespect.

I’ve always felt MJ spent the majority of his career recreating Thriller. In that sense, he played it safe and made music that appealed to his core fans. This differs greatly with Madonna, who keeps switching her musical styles at the risk of losing fans along the way (and probably did).
-
Oddly enough, I actually liked Future more after her Eurovision performance. It's rather unfortunate that it followed a very off-key and lethargic LAP performance, and this is how most of the GP will remember it.
Madame X is quirky in that many of the songs, even if they're not my fave, works well in the context of the album. I can't imagine if the rumours of a visual album are true, I might appreciate Future even more.

Given that enough time has passed, I think it would be amazing if she reunites with some of the original Blonde Ambition/TOD crew for her Vogue performance. If there's a time for burying the hatchet, World Pride would be it. And for a generation of gays, that movie and tour is absolutely seminal and is still groundbreaking today.
-
Anyway, at this point it seems the set list is a done deal. The other question is do performers at Pride typically sing live? I'm just wondering if she'll be singing over prerecorded vocals like she does sometimes.
In my dreams, it would be fab if she brings back Donna Delory.

Honestly, Express Yourself is an example of a song with a strong message that will resonate but isn't depressing. Even Human Nature seems like a better choice.
In the end, I just don't want Madonna to get the same brutal reaction she did from Eurovision. She can sing One More Chance for all I care if I knew the audience will love it.
-
I find that Economist article offensive, even though the overall tone is positive. Why should she sing about wrinkles and menopause? No one ever asks Bruce Springsteen to sing about erectile dysfunction, enlarged prostates and urinary retention. It's not hard to see why Madonna gets so sensitive about these "age" articles sometimes.
-
Didn't someone say she's also recording a live music video at Pride using a remix?
-
This would be a great backdrop for her PRIDE performance.
-
Maybe they think the video might actually hurt sales because of backlash....
In which case wait until she has that #1 in the bag, then release the video.

Look, in all honesty, the gays at pride island will be so drunk, high, and fucking to really care what is happening on stage.
Gives new meaning to “I Rise”
-
At this point, it won’t surprise me if she switches out Vogue and throw in Killers Who Are Partying.....might as well go for the whole mood killler package.
If I sound negative, it’s just that I think this whole era is being underserviced by these perplexing promo appearances. She started with such a bang at the BMAs!
-
Mensch, please tell me the other oldie ISN'T American Life.
-
Let's hope she does Express Yourself, is she's not doing LAP.
-
People will be BORED by this setlist, not offended. That's the difference. I can see the latter making her perform it out of defiance and pushing people's buttons. But I'm sure bored is not the reception she's aiming for. She is still an entertainer.
-
If she was aware of the altered vocals used on her Eurovision upload, she must at least know how that original performance went........And that also dispels the belief that she "doesn't care what people think."
-
As much as I hate rushing to judgement, I feel like the short set list she did at Stonewall might even be a better idea than this rumoured one.
-
Ugh...she's gonna turn into that Debbie Downer that no one invites to parties anymore because she kills the mood. People don't always want to hear the about "downfall of humanity." Sometimes all we need is some optimism and a holiday.....
-
I can't really picture Quavo performing at Pride though....."Future" seems like an odd choice. I understand that she's political these days but she needs to read a room sometimes......this is supposed to be celebratory.
Didn't Mensch mention that "I Rise" will be a remix?
-
If pitchfork just wants web traffic, wouldn’t bombarding them with complaints and emails actually backfire and encourage them to post more crap like this?

^^Don't forget the WIFLFAG video!^^
-
1. Madame X - 8.5/10
2. Rebel Heart - 8/10 (I don't get the sudden distaste for the album recently by some fans. I think it has some of her best, most heartfelt songs in recent years, after seemingly phoning it in for the last two albums. It's a good step back in the right direction. )
3. MDNA- 7.5/10
4. Hard Candy - 7/10

Looks like another epic video. And that first part when she is narrating seem to reinforce this might be part of a longer film (?documentary/visual album).
I just hope the SJW won't start accusing her of capitalizing on the Pulse shootings, especially during Pride month. I say let this album have a full week first before releasing something controversial.

1. God Control
2. Crave

MX can still show up on a year end list since these lists seems to be arbitrary and writer dependent. They rated RH half a star more lol.
And what a shocker, Beyoncé and Bruce ranked highly....*yawn*
