Guest Danny86 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think that’s reading too much into her words (where she also said that it was a ‘party anthem’ and she liked the idea of lots of people dancing to it). I’m sure if she her pre-occupation when recording ‘Hard Candy’ was how the songs would work live, she wouldn’t have Timbaland, Justin, Kanye and Pharrell all over them. Why is it reading into it too much when it was her actual quote? I don't see why's it weird to say Madonna's main focus is performance and since we all know she only tours with new stuff, it is not a stretch she already thinks about performance while producing an album. Plus apart from 4M, all the rest of the collaborations worked well in the show anyway. Not to mention that everyone assumed Kanye was only on the album to get a hit even though shortly after the song was recorded, at the Warner listening party Madonna stated BGO is not meant to be a single. Yet it was prominently performed as the second song of her tour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 How interesting that she wrote GI2M to be performed in a stadium. Its a pity she couldn't manage to sing it live. The chorus was mimed and the parts she attempted to sing were horrible. I don't think I have heard one good live vocal of GI2M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It's not as if it's exactly a difficult song either. The problem with her is that she ISN'T doing things with the thought of them being performed live. She either uses edited enhanced vocals or surpasses her limitations in the studio with a vocal she can't create live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think its why why she never did a live perfomance of 4mins other than on tour. She really needs to get back to singing within her limitations. We know she can sing because her live performances of YMLM, Drowned World and Lament are really good. She also sounded in good form at Live 8.

Yet it was prominently performed as the second song of her tour... It’s reading too much into it because it was a comment she made about one song, not the album. The actual quote is on the Wiki page for anyone interested. It doesn’t remotely come across as ‘I only write songs that will sound good in a stadium’. I’m sure when she wrote ‘Music’ she knew that it would be anthemic as well. The performances may have worked well, but that’s because they made it work. If you were writing songs thinking of how they would work in a stadium, you would not think ‘oh I will need to wheel out some big screens and get Kanye/Pharrell/Justin/Timbaland to record some footage that I can play while I dance around’. That sounds *terrible*. Kanye’s involvement was prominently advertised in the promotion of the album, going so far as to be mentioned prominently on the sticker on the front. Clearly they wanted to sell his involvement. Not for a second do I think he’s on there so that Madonna could get him on big screens on her tour.

Carta Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 When the album is released on Monday, the single should get a boost thanks to people cherry picking tracks (e.g. Celebration and Revolver, which could chart in both the US and the UK the week after the album hits iTunes).

Just curious, did you see Coldplay last night at Wembley Stadium or are you planning to go tonight? I went last night and they were amazing. Such a gret live band and the sound was perfect. So much better than when I saw Madonna there. They had fantastic video screens as well and their ticket price are a third of what Madonna charges.
