IsaacHarris Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Personally, I think the opening look should have been used on the S&S tour (the pants, the lace top, THAT HAIR). I live for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaacHarris Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 She's SUCH a hot bitch. UGH The Music finale was top notch. Notice her energy in every single move. She was ecstatic to be away from Mr Ritchie; after being cooped up in that damn English Castle for so long, HC was her chance to be free again & dust off her pussy. 2008 was THE year of Madonna.

rb19 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I like the different arrangement of what essentially went on to be the tour performances. The hair and outfit are great though. It seems Miles Away was pegged to be a single from the start - I don't understand why Warner didn't let her put out Candy Shop as a promo single or a taster or whatever. 4 Minutes was going to be a hit come hell or high water. I was wondering yesterday - were any other HC tracks ever planned to be singles? Promo or otherwise? Were there any remixes commissioned or anything at all?

madonnasuperfan01 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Totally. I even had an elaborate hypothetical music video for it & everything I also had some ideas for a video, it could have been epic. Hard Candy as a whole is so underrated. It's not her best album for sure but it's also not the total piece of trash people (including some Madonna fans) pretend it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
material_boy Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The Roseland Ballroom is closing soon, so let's remember it by watching this ICONIC performance by the one and only TRUE queen of pop and life in general. Dedicated to Isaac Harris Wow. I hadn't watched this since it first happened. Egads, I remember fans being soooo angry with that rock rendition of "Hung Up." (Those anti-"HU" threads must still be here on Nation somewhere. I forgot that Justin made an appearance here. I recall thinking that she'd perform "4 Minutes" at the Superbowl since it was the perfect venue for the warped marching band track, but then I remember that Justin is banned for life, so no way she was going to trot that out. I wish she'd put a strong emphasis on the Pharrell tracks from this album / era. The whole project seemed like it came out five years too late, but the Timbaland tracks seemed particularly lazy.

IsaacHarris Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hard Candy as a whole is so underrated. It really is, but time heals all wounds & people are slowly getting into it It's STILL my favorite Madonna album though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogue992 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Was she lip-syncing that show? I'm not sure I remember she sang the verses and mimed the rest on GI2M, but the rest of the show was live (someone correct me if I'm wrong) I love the Hard Candy Promo Tour (and HC as well, totally underrated)!

It so was. It so was. It was her chance to be wild again, and wear all the funky and outlandish clothes she wants. She let the freak back out!

Don't know if others remember, but I recall when HC was just released that a NY that radio station played candy shop, beat goes on, 4M, & possibly MA. I also remember hearing on another NY radio station at the time--- D2N & GI2M remix. I know the album has been polarizing for long time fans, but I'm surprised HC wasn't more of a commercial success in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latinbold Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Beat Goes On would have been huge. Always plays it during warm ups and everyone (specially straight dudes) groove to it. She's misguided often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick00 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Loved the album then, love it now, so much more than the album that preceded and followed it in fact It's funny because I feel HC is one of her least innovative & original sounding albums, but it has been one of the albums that I've played most from her. HC & M first album always helps to get me in a good mood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugbyguy Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I loved her look in 2008 and her outfits remained very consistent right up until the end of the year, lots of black, the gloves, big sleeves, bow ties on almost everything, lots of toned skin under sheer black, those thigh high black boots, the mermaid hair, the way they did her eye make up. She looked so fresh. I loved the Cynthia McFaddon interview, the salmon pink dress from Cannes, her outfits at Guy's premiere and her birthday. Her tour costumes remained consistent as we'll and I particularly liked the chunky gold necklaces from Give It 2 Me, her bday, and the pink version's for the La Isla section of Sticky. Could someone post pics of all her public appearances that year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacho Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I remember so many fans being so negative about this at the time. Still have no clue why. The forum back then was very polarized towards this whole era, and frequently nasty with leftover theothersnore ASSHOLES setting the tone and shouting everybody down that had anything positive to say. I remember even appreciation threads would turn into gross trashfests. I dreaded visiting the forum back then! Good riddance to them! I remember every press review praised this show. This show was a lot of fun in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
