Samo Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 A lot of hardcore fans have mixed feelings about this era from 96-97, but I fucking loved it! Madonna was EVERYWHERE to promote the film and soundtrack, and she had more love and respect from the general public than she ever had up until that point, just watch her Oprah appearance on YouTube The film was a huge box office success earning over $140 million worldwide in 1996 dollars, about $260 million if adjusted for inflation today, and it's success kickstarted the comeback of the movie musical in the 2000s. The soundtrack was another big seller and proved once again that MADONNA CAN SING it also featured the Academy Award winning Best Song "You Must Love Me". I have so many fond memories of this period, it was a real triumph for her, and her finally becoming a mom was the icing on the cake The Golden Globes win, AA performance and win Billboard awards appearance, Oprah and Rosie O talk show appearances EVITA premieres all over the world, Madonna on the cover of every damn magazine etc. Such a great time to be a fan What are you're thoughts?

dollhouse Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Loved it but she kinda wasted it going to the loo with "The Next Best Thing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samo Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 I just remember a lot of happy memories and the general public respecting Madonna Who would of thought just 4 years after the SEX book when everyone hated her. Even the media was kissing her ass around this time and treating her like the Queen that she is. The PR machine around Madonna for the film and soundtrack release was INCREDIBLE, Liz Rosenberg really earned her pay checks back then! Madonna should of had that same PR machine working for the MDNA album But it was not to be... Non traditional promo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick00 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I think the best part of era was her amazing voice on the soundtrack, and I really enjoyed how passionate she was regarding everything about the era. I feel M was so dynamic and creative throughout the entire nineties even with any minor flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Madomination Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I remember people having doubts about her singing Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Not only did she pulled it off, she turn it into a hit and made it her own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
