Guest ursaminorjim Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 What's there to bitch about? Videos are just a bonus to all this. Sure, I want this to include everything she's released, and sure, I know that's entirely unlikely. I think a lot of the griping stems from the rather haphazard...okay, I'll say it, the unspeakably atrocious manner in which her catalogue's been handled, from compilations to reissues to video collections - you name it, they've botched it. And that casts both a lot of hope and a lot of expectations on this set. After all, this is her last hurrah with Warners, so it stands to reason that everyone wants it done right. I'm keeping my expectations to a bare minimum. That way I can't help but be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 So the MADONNA.COM newsletter confirms the 2 DVD release Dear Madonna Fans, As announced last week, an important Madonna release is to hit the stores on September 29 (September 28 outside of the United States). Celebration is the ultimate compilation of Madonna's biggest hits, which were all remastered and selected by Madonna and her fans. Also featured on this upcoming release are two brand new songs co-produced by Madonna and Paul Oakenfold. The first single, also titled "Celebration," has just been sent out to radios worldwide and is available for download from iTunes! Make sure to get your copy of it and to celebrate the song that is soon to become another worldwide hit for Madonna! Celebration, the album, will be released on CD but also as a 2-CD set, both of them being available for pre-order from Amazon.com: Pre-order the CD » Pre-order the 2-CD set » More Celebration-related releases are to be detailed within the next few weeks, including a special 2-DVD set and more — so stay tuned! Let's get the party started, it's a Celebration! The Madonna.com Team Madonna.com That email also indicates BOTH of the new tracks on Celebration are co-produced by Madonna and Oakenfold. I hope that's an error -- because "Revolver" was rumored to be produced with Frank E or DJ Frankie or whatever the heck his name is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, that Anna girl said that "Revolver" would be the other new track. Interesting. A new development.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so crap, it wouldn't surprised me if they pressed Mariah Carey's "Obsessed" on the album by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to look at most other artists compilations, video collections, remasters, live DVD's etc to know that Madonna fans are missing out. I really don't think it's all Warner. If Madonna wanted all her tours, all her music videos, rare tracks etc released then it would happen. The thing with Madonna is that she is always moving forward, and squeezing in all the less memorable music videos would make no sense to her. She probably sees something like 'True Blue' and thinks "who would want to see that again?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertogerard Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 When I first heard there would be a "Celebration" DVD, my first thought was Finally, Justify My Love, Don't Tell Me and American Life on DVD! I can't imagine Madonna NOT putting Justify My Love on the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's an error -- because "Revolver" was rumored to be produced with Frank E or DJ Frankie or whatever the heck his name is. Did Guy O, or anyone from WB ever confirm this Frank E/Lil Wayne collaboration? EVERY press release i've read so far has mentioned Paul Oakenfold doing two tracks. I highly doubt WB would just forget to mention a producer, and major hip hop star like Lil Wayne. Hmmm... It would be so funny if Revolver turns out to be another Oakenfold track. The song just got more interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danny86 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 ^It's probably meant to be a surprise. The Kanye West collaboration was NEVER officially announced either, yet we all knew about it because of fansites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if his name is gonna shift more units, when no one here has ever heard of him before. Kanye West is and was a superstar.....big difference. I think the biggest surprise is that Paul O produced both tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afrolito Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 ^I was referring to Lil Wayne. Guy Oseary confirmed Frank E at the same time as Oakenfold. Whatever Guy O said then, is at odds with the latest press releases NOW. Perhaps she scrapped Frank E and Lil Wayne, when she realized how shitastic it sounded...who knows. It still begs the question of why they would need to keeping something a surprise? Especially, when radio is about as excited about Celebration, as a case of the crabs. If Lil Wayne is on this track, they should be shouting it from the rooftops, and not even mentioning Frank E producing the track, makes no sense at all. As I said, the press release clearly states that Paul O produced two tracks, but we'll know soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with reliable sources confirmed it's still there and it's still happening. And that was a Madonna.com newsletter, not a press release.

Guest Danny86 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Completely revamped? WTF?! It has some tweaks due to it being LIVE, but most importantly the same LYRICS are featured, which were just as bashed as "Revolver", or even more. Oh and the "Candy Shop" DEMO is the first track on Hard Candy without ANY CHANGES, so that would mean it's not a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The Revolver demo we heard has 20 times more hit potential than Celebration in the US. It's possible that Oakenfold remixed the song and they are using a remix. But I honestly think it's an error. The only place we have heard that he produced 2 tracks is Madonna.com. Is that really a reliable source of information? I recall an occasion Madonna.com publishing "news" that originated from a fansite. I trust Guy O and Anna's twittering over the person who runs that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafter69 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I hope it showcases some videos that never made the tracklisting of the GH JML and Erotica may be a problem cause it means automatic R rating. wasnt EROTICA supposed to be included on the 93-99 collection, and i think i even remember a tracklisting coming out and the original title was 92-99 and then suddenly EROTICA was removed and the name changed to 93... am i correct? Seems that video really scares WB. you'd think after all this time though, that its not as scandalous as 1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BI don't think the "Eroticaù" or "Justify My Love" videos are going to be a problem this time.The Drowned World Tour dvd and Confessions Tour dvd were released with the pa stickers. And remember the Video Collection wasn't as important as this release will be.It was a very random release actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe she's gonna keep it for a full studio album for Live Nation. I can't wait to see the tracklists for the Dvd and the 2cd set. And I'm anticipating the video for "Celebration."

I'm sure they'll be glaring ommissions on this Celebration DVD release. Don't be surprised to read about Madonna fans complaining left and right once the tracklisting is revealed. This is crappy record label. At least Pet Shop Boys practically give everything to their fans videowise.PopART and LIFE IN POP Dvds are examples.

Didn't Madonna record a 3rd song for the gh called I'm Sorry that was dropped? Maybe this is the 2nd song Oak remixed. Possibly the press release is correct. The song could show up as a b side to revolver. Edited August 19, 2009 by maddyfan171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 That would not surprise, that is true. But, the CD tracklisting (if accurate) looks pretty darn good on the whole, and if the CD actually will have the LP LAP and video edit of EY (hopefully 7-inch), then who knows, maybe the DVD will be well-handled. (less-than-stellar planning for the single maybe means it's working on getting the releases RIGHT. ha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
