  1. Do we count this as an official single or not?

    For the yes argument, remixes were commissioned, a physical Cd and downloads available.

    For the no argument, it was not pushed to radio, not promoted in any way and no video made.

    So was it an official single and thus her worst performing ever song?

  2. I am sad I even started to read this thread! Totally ruined the illusion and image I had of her in my head. Will NEVER read another blog of hers again! She will look back and cringe at this herself I'm sure. What is Madonna thinking? Dakota Fanning is 2 years older then lola but is WORLDS APART in maturity....but then again Dakota was always mature and sweet for her age. Lola is just trying too hard to be hip and cool and use the lingo of NOW. Its obvious just by the way she writes and dresses herself that she is VERY attention seeking. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

    Wow, you're a cunt.

  3. I think she needs to find someone who can actually inspired her to create something fab just like ROL.

    I remember she was fishing around after Evita and dun really know what to do until she came across W/O and gave her the inspiration. Billboard even called her "Artiste" and said she can predict the future music trend. :dramatic:

    Therefore I think it would be better if she releases a new album in 2015.

    I agree with all of that apart from 2015. I don't think I can wait that long.

  4. :clap:

    I could live with an album not being to my taste if it was a passionate effort on her part. What I can't stand is the half arsed, 'let's stick a record out as I'm contractually obliged to' mediocrity. In some respects, her being without a record deal is a blessing as she can pursue her other endeavours and make an album when she's truly inspiredto.

    Exactly, Queenie. I only really like about half of the Erotica album, the rest just does nothing for me at all. But at least I can appreciate the effort that went into it, even if I found it misfired a lot of the time.

    I believe she passionate about Erotica. I don;t hear any of that passion in Hard Candy.

  5. I don't think an album full of 'good' songs is enough for someone like Madonna.

    She needs an album full of really great tracks. Sure, there were a couple of 'good' tracks on Confessions, but that felt like a cohesive album, it flowed beautifully... everything from the cover art to the song writing to the theme and the promotion smacked off time and effort.

    And that's what let Hard Candy down. Her writing input appeared minimal, the crafting of the music was done before she even sat down in the studio, the lyrics to many of the songs quite banal. Not every track on Confessions was a work of beautiful prose, but at least it was her sound.

    She worked at Stuart's house for months; she was with Orbit in the studio constantly for Ray of Light. Hard Candy was the sound of a woman out of ideas forced to fill a contractual obligation.

    Like others have said, I'd be happy if she disappeared for a while, re-grouped, and got her fighting spirit back. Let Gaga have her moment in the sun; let Kylie rip off Confessions, let Britney make another album that sounds just like the last three ... then come back Madonna and show them how it's really done.

  6. Beat Goes On was amazing and so was Dance 2night'

    I would agree with that. But those tracks, 4 Minutes and Give It 2 Me do not make a great album.

    Hard Candy was a half arsed effort, it did not sound like Madonna had put much work into it, and now she has basically admitted it.

    I'm not expecting every album to be a Like A Prayer, Ray of Light or Confessions. But I do expect more from her than just recording other people's demos.

  7. Some of us have been saying that for two years now and have been having the shit ripped out of us by the LOONS who insist she can do no wrong. :rolleyes: Thank heaves for true fans, who see it as it is, like me. :angel:

    While dubbing yourself an angel is slightly dubious, I agree with everything you said.

    A have always said a true fan is someone who as well as applauding the success, is wise enough to appreciate when it's all gone wrong and doesn't try and defend her for the sake of it.

    The loons are called loons for a reason, which is why they'll never ben taken seriously.

  8. In my world, these songs are burning in a place called Hell of Excrement:

    "I Know It"

    "Pretender"

    "Jimmy Jimmy"

    "Love Makes the World Go Round" (album version)

    "Causing a Commotion" (album version)

    "Can’t Stop"

    "In This Life" (album version)

    "Did You Do It?"

    "Goodbye to Innocence" (demo)

    "Queen’s English"

    "Don’t Stop"

    "Freedom"

    "One More Chance"

    "Don’t Cry for Me Argentina" (Miami Mix)

    "Into the Hollywood Groove"

    "Push"

    "History"

    "Hey You"

    "Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You" (album version)

    "It’s So Cool"

    :lmao:

    The only ones I'd disagree with are Dont Cry For Me ... (Miami Mix) and Causing A Commotion.

    Other than that, spot on, sir!
