loomer Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Btw, she also slagged Into The Groove years ago, saying almost the exact same thing in the Details(?) 1994 interview. I thought she had re-embraced it. She also at one point said I'm Breathless was her best album. Interesting that Evita was her biggest challenge. Time she challenged herself again and went back to the vocal coach.
loomer Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I'm struggling to read that scan, too damn faint. Actually, that's more like a photograph of the mag
loomer Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I find it both ironic and romantic that the separation from Sean drove her to get drunk. You love the Sean Sean got her into booze and S&M
StrikeItUp Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Oh, Madonna. Your taste level is so questionable sometimes. Even w/r/t your own work! Well she has said that Candy Shop was the best thing off Hard Candy. That Black Madonna thing and the possible imagery of Madonna in blackface is all sorts of LOLz though . I'm sure she had a coherent vision in mind about challenging our perception of such imagery, but the execution probably would've come off poorly. It would make the SEX backlash look like a simple slap on the wrists. So far French Vogue is already getting flack for this photoshoot.
Supernatural Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Why are you paraphrasing her? She never said the songs were retarded. She said singing them made her feel retarded. There is a major difference. Sometimes I get a strong impression that you are actually just desperate to hate her, its so fucking boring. agree!
Cherish Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks for the link! She's a class act, her interviews are always worth reading!
Knocka Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Why are you paraphrasing her? She never said the songs were retarded. She said singing them made her feel retarded. There is a major difference. Sometimes I get a strong impression that you are actually just desperate to hate her, its so fucking boring. ummm, yes she did. The songs that I think are the most retarded songs I've written, like "Cherish" and "Sorry", a pretty big hit off my last album, end up being the biggest hits. Anyway, great interview. I love how relaxed she seems in all her interviews these days.
Guest Pud Whacker Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 with all the fans comments, i can now see why she didnt want to answer this straight on: on the flip side, is there a time you look back on when you say, "fuck, i was pretty hot."? i will for her. YES, THE ENTIRE LAST 27 YEARS, go have a look.
Bitch Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 You love the Sean Sean got her into booze and S&M Is it really true; where that rumor come from? Was it in one of the biographies or something?
HolidayGuy Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks for posting that link- enjoyable read. Wonder if there are any other features (i.e. Rolling Stone's picks for her best music). Obviously there are going ot be some pics (other than what we saw), but that article would not take up 8 pages (even with pics).
loomer Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Is it really true; where that rumor come from? Was it in one of the biographies or something? I've read other people say it. I thought it could be one explanation for some of the stuff that turned up in Sex.
Bitch Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I've read other people say it. I thought it could be one explanation for some of the stuff that turned up in Sex. At least that would explain why he trussed her up like a turkey.
Guest Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Great interview there, can't wait to get my hands on that magazine! Nice to see her discuss her music in more depth. So 'Sorry' makes her feel retarded? Didn't quite get that.
agclef Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Got it in NYC, great read - nice to have her in a Music Magazine again AND on the cover - also talking about her music, refreshing.
Greeny Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I'm not sure but I thought the difference was simply due to editing? I'm not sure now Maybe just the editing......
HolidayGuy Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 agclef- anything else of note among those 8 pages? Anyone else think the interview ended abruptly? I.e. no "where do you go from here?" questions or anything to close.
Skin Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Jesus the black Madonna thing would have been a disaster! And doing that after adopting a black kid? That would have caused all sorts of hell for her.
Guest Hot Revolver Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Im sure she could of pulled it off
Bitch Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 That Black Madonna thing and the possible imagery of Madonna in blackface is all sorts of LOLz though . I'm sure she had a coherent vision in mind about challenging our perception of such imagery, but the execution probably would've come off poorly. It would make the SEX backlash look like a simple slap on the wrists. So far French Vogue is already getting flack for this photoshoot. These were shot by Klein. I assume that what he shot with M is quite similar to these. I find those shots rather fascinating.

I.e. no "where do you go from here?" questions or anything to close. I have to say a lot of interviews always do end quite abruptly - it's like an annoying style or something, not nicely packaged at all. Whatever, as for other stuff of note, I think everyone covered everything, nothing really shocking or that we really didn't know, just more of her confirming what we've heard over the years. My favorite parts are her talking about hanging with all the great artists of the early 80's, that's always cool. Another thing, the article starts with an outake from the Borderline/Lucky Star 12" sessions - one of my all-time favorites.
GimmeSomeMo Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I wonder if she could have made an effective statement about race and stereotypes with the blackface pics. Like AL though, it would give the song meaning that they didnt have in the first place and the record would dissapear in the controversy. I'm curious though. She has tackled race issues before but never this boldly. I wish I could see it.
afrolito Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 That was an amazingly insightful interview. I had almost given up on anyone actually asking her anything interesting, but this guy did his homework. As always I loved hearing about her early days in New York, and the fact that boy toy was her street tag! Who knew?! Oh I would have loved to have seen her painted as the Black Madonna. I'm sure it would have sparked major controversy, perhaps the most she would have ever stirred. I have no doubt the images would have been spectacularly iconic though. She and Klein are usually genius together.
smeowly Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 my wish list for interview questions: 1. what songs almost made the final cut on celebration and which songs didn't? 2. does she feel her mtv's have become less iconic (i.e. crappy) in the last few years? 3. how does she feel about declining radio play in the states as opposed to the rest of the world? 4. the reinvention and blonde ambition tour releases!!! 5. will the american life video ever get a release? 6. how she came to write and sing celebration and revolver for this new album
Queen Bitch Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 "You could just go out there and play guitar and sing your songs like Paul McCartney," but I'd be too bored. And so would everyone else Black Madonna would have been UBER COOL - she really needs to DITCH the other Guy.
acko Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 QB that dead pheasant in ur sig is ridiculous. But moving on... The Rolling Stone site says : STAY TUNED 4 BONUS Q&A with MADONNA!! so there's more
