Guest Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 whats the original version?!!! This is from wikipedia In 1983, Curtis Hudson and Lisa Stevens of the group Pure Energy had written the song "Holiday", which Madonna recorded and released as the third single from her self-titled debut album.[3] After the single's commercial success, Hudson wrote a song sounding like "Holiday", in case Warner, Madonna's record company, wanted to release a similar song to it.[4] He named it "Spotlight" and offered it to Madonna, who recorded the song for her 1986 album True Blue.[1] However, Madonna didn't include it in the album because she felt that it was similar in composition and structure to "Holiday".[1] When Madonna decided to create You Can Dance, she and Stephen Bray reworked the demo composed by Hudson[4] and Madonna asked Shep Pettibone, who had remixed her songs from True Blue, to remix "Spotlight" and included it on the album.[1]John "Jellybean" Benitez, who had recorded the original demo during the True Blue sessions, assisted Pettibone in remixing the song I think Stephan Bray confirmed in an interview once there was an original, un-remixed version of spotlight recorded for True Blue which didn't make the album cut.

Gosh I want to believe all that but Wikipedia is 99.99% wrong. So I hope this is the exception!!!Maybe someone just copied and pasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb19 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 You have all the L-U-V I gave you everything you need Now it's up to Y-O-U Are you the one, shall we proceed M-A-D Don't make me L-U-V It's time for Y-O-U It's up to L-U-V I want your tbh I love the original bridge from GMAYL. That combined with the original chants by M make it way more aggressive and less frivolous. I like GMAYL as a battle cry (which makes both the song and the tone of MDNA clearer), rather than a cheerleading (which does feel a little *shoot me* desperate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonoka Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm alright. Don't be sorry but it's true. When i'm gone you'll realize I was the best thing that happened to you Yay, I was waiting for someone to post this! It's probably even more so the music which makes this bridge so great, I just love how it sounds with the higher-pitched instrumentation, it's hard to describe it, but for whatever reason I just love it and always have since the first time I listened to it!

HolidayGuy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Wouldn't "Beauty's where you find it..." be a third verse? I view the "rap" more as a bridge. And for CAC, someone mentioned "So we can kee..." but it is "I hope you find what you're..." that is the bridge as someone mentioned). Just keeping it technically accurate. LTT's is a doozy. Interestingly, two of her greatest tracks- LAP and ROL- don't really have fresh bridges. LAP's is what we first hear her sing in the song. M has had some great ones, that is true.

Guest Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Wouldn't "Beauty's where you find it..." be a third verse? I view the "rap" more as a bridge. M has had some great ones, that is true. "Beauty's where you find it" is the bridge of Vogue. (The vocal melody and music shifts completely from the previous verses.) And it is quite possibly the best one she's ever written IMO. But another one that's blasphemously overlooked in this thread: And when you gone, he might regret it. Think about the love he once had Try to carry on, but he just won't get it. He'll back on his knees to Express Himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
