IsaacHarris Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 BS came out when I was 8 years old, so forgive me for being late to the realization that it is FANTASTIC. Strangely, there is NO VIDEO on Youtube, but whatever. The beat is everything; upbeat, kinda funky, kinda electronic. It makes me feel like I'm in a desert hookah lounge or something. And it's groooovy as hell too! Best thing William Orbit has ever created IMVHO. I love a good dose of Bitchdonna every now and again (I Don't Give A, Gang Bang) but I'M ALL FOR her groovy little love songs. Lyrically, it's got that lightheartedness of True Blue and I don't mind that one bit. The way she sings 'if i'm smart then I'll run awaaaaaaaaaay. but I'm not, so I guess I'll stay..." is so warm & lovely. One of the few Madonna songs about affection that I can actually relate too. And isn't she HOT as fuck in that video? THOSE MOVES! I didn't remember her molesting Mike Myers though It's my favorite late-90's hindu-yoga-mama-goddess-Madonna track!

Guest Not4Pussies Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 she oozed sex in this video which was great to see her being sensual and playful after the seriousness of ROL love the song. my favorite parts: to know you is to love you, to love you is to be part of you.

adreeyen Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I was just thinking about this track earlier when I was listening to Amazing. I don't really get why people say they (and I'm A Sinner) sound the same/are rehashed ideas of one another. Yes, they all go for that specific sound, but there are many differences and, either way, they're all fantastic. Beautiful Stranger is an A+ track.

Mensch Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 my fav part of the video is when sings, "I looked into your eyes, and my world..." Wen she bends down and throws her arm around! The song is perfect. The video's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Papi Si. Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It's one of the best songs she's ever done and probably in my top 3. It's weird cuz everyone knows this song and its one of her most enduring hits but I never see it in any "top Madonna song" lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5iVe Elements Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I love this song from the start. I tried singing this on karaoke. Its hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloane Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I wouldn't call it one of her best songs but it works and I still listen to it every now and then. My favorite part of the video is when she turns around and starts inching her shirt up. Interesting move, very Madonna. The video was on Youtube as late as a month ago. Hmm, guess it got deleted.

ryan Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Oh I love that VMA clip! Did she not hug/kiss Henny? They cut away so we will never know, but.."DINNER IS OVER!"

I've been trying to say this for years! Yeah, I'm a Sinner does include a dosage of Orbit's fav "Ease on By" sample, but it's really at the end of the song. And I saw that as paying homage to M's previous work with WO. And that sample is used heavily on his ROL remix. You can hear it a little bit in BS, but I don't see it in Amazing. Anyway, Beautiful Stranger is very UK swinger, while Amazing has a 60's surfer vibe. They are 2 different songs in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Papi Si. Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 What was that face for? Was that when her and Jlo were having that minor beef or something? It's just typical Madonna being a brat. I think award shows are something she's never been able to stand. So when she won and everyone went crazy, she looked at Guy was like "lol" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't call it one of her best songs but it works and I still listen to it every now and then. Agreed. I appreciate it for being mainstream in sense of bringing in new fans. But will say she looked hot as hell in video. Miss Tandonna.

ryan Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 But YAS baby. The song is fantastic! I was 9 at the time, and it was so great to hear a new M song just almost after a year of ROL being out. It was a groovy track, and the video was smoking hot! I always had to tune into VH1 and MTV everyday just to see the video. Ugg, the summer of 1999 <3 <3 <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with my family and it was fun I really didn't think that I was going to win anything! but I was lucky to get 21 dollars after investing just 2 dollars. ...Anyway, after that I heard Queendonna's beautiful stranger and it was a perfect night.

HolidayGuy Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It doesn't get much recurrent play in the USA, but whatev. Another of her great singles. And, I also dig the Calderone club mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
