ruey Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Alright, I realise this might be a ridiculous thread to start, but I'm keen to find out what you guys think. If you could imagine (and by imagine I mean fully fantasize about it!), Madonna recording ANY record by another artist, what would it be? Now, you have to imagine this world in which the existing record by the original artist ceases to exist and that it was one released in an actual Madonna era. (We can dream right?) And why?For me it would be, without a doubt.... Lead single: Indestructible Robyn is so obviously influenced by Madonna. I love this album's assured energy, it's very reminiscent of Madonna's earlier pop records all the way up to Confessions.

Guest Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 very interesting thread but i'm not really good at this..
Stephen Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 For MDNA, I wish her lead single would have been Solveig's Just Came to Say Hello song
Phineaspoe Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 For MDNA, I wish her lead single would have been Solveig's Just Came to Say Hello song I think that's essentially what she paid him to do. Alas, he failed.
george28 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 You might all think I am nuts, but when I read this thread, automatically in my mind came Madonna singing "Break Free" from Ariana Grande, lol. Maybe it's because it's one of the two songs I only like of hers and Break Free being my favorite, and I just think it would have been an even bigger hit on the dance floor with an even more positive message coming from our Madgesty!
MerGirl Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I've actually never thought that Madonna should record someone else's song, it's been more in terms of sounds I would like her to explore, or working with certain people.
george28 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I agree with wanting her to work with certain people, and that is why when she records another new album I would love her to work with Dada Life. these guys right now are the best new thing to happen to electronic music and they along with Madge can work magic!
promise to try Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I want your sex, (George michael), well, for obvious reasons!! pr Father figure!
habitant Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 As great a Cyndi is for herself, True Colors would be amazing on True Blue album. Even from the same time and nice title coincidence (maybe even a title track?)! And I think M could sing it just as well. Different, but just as good. Or if Erotica era was not to be such heavy in theme and sound, M could easily record early Ace of Base material - All That She Wants, The Sign, or Happy Nation.
nefarious Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I want your sex, (George michael), well, for obvious reasons!! pr Father figure! Yes! Father Figure would be amazing for her. The end always reminded me of LAP
paradise Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 everything but the girl's 'walking wounded'
promise to try Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Yes! Father Figure would be amazing for her. The end always reminded me of LAPand the beginning to Vogue!!!
mnino Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 1. "All Is Full of Love" by Bjork would have been perfect for Madonna. Even the video for it. It would fit perfectly post ROL. 2. I also wish she'd have recorded "Protection" with Massive Attack for ROL. 3. "Teardrop" by Massive Attack (which was actually a song that they thought she could sing for them). This would have been a soundtrack single. 4. "Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado for Hard Candy. 5. "Criminal" by Fiona Apple for MDNA after "Gang Bang." 6. "They" by Jem for American Life. 7. "Lament" by Mount Moriah for Rebel Heart
Monkey Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Only girl in the world Please don't stop the music Promiscious girl Say it right What you're waiting for Beautifull Rolling in the deep I only picked tracks from successfull and commercial divas!!
Icykiller Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Metric´s Gimme Sympathy. Had M ever made a rock inspired album, I think this would've been a nice sound.
Rainbow Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) My choice: Fame - a straight cover - a live performance would be fun These Boots are made For Walking - a live performance also fun Northern Star - Mel C - very Live to Tell in many ways - Edited February 11, 2015 by Rainbow
HarleyQuinn Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Supposedly she was supposed to sing 'I was made for loving you' for a KISS tribute album. I want that to happen.
Icykiller Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 If it´s a cover then I so want her to sing Venus in furs from The Velvet Underground. An intense and sexually charged performance on tour would be necessary as well!

Messiahxxx Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 During MDNA era I thought Electra Heart by Marina ans the diamonds would have been a great comeback album for M. Like a cheeky commentary on the pop world in general, with all those pop girls with fake personalities /characters. And speaking of covers, I would love her to do Use Me. I don't remember who sang it originally, but I loooooove Grace jone's version.
le smoking Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I always wished that she recorded Nelly Furtado's No Hay Igual instead of Spanish Lesson. I think it's produced by Pharrell too.
Guest stormbringer Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I remember thinking at the time that M should have recorded Martika's - Love... thy will be done, might have fitted in nicely on the Like A Prayer album
rocknrolla Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I do this a lot. Recent: Hideaway by Kieza (what LFL should've been), Elastic Heart (by Sia) I also wish she would have done Say it Right and Hello.

Guest HaveASit Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Total Eclipse of the Heart, looove this song
peter Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I guess the most infamous song that was rumored to be recorded (but ultimately wasn't) was "These Boots Were Made for Walkin' " -- coulda been cool, I guess. Really would have fit with the themes on Erotica -- not just in the obvious 'kinky boots' kinda way, but the whole vengeful/hurt/angry emotions that came out in songs like "Thief of Hearts" and "Waiting." Another song that I wish had made its way to Madonna (instead of All Saints) was the William Orbit-produced "Pure Shores." It was very liquid-y and the sound was her signature sound at that moment. Too bad she didn't get the chance to help write and record it.

All the Orbit tracks done on that All Saints album would have suited Madonna. The killer bit at the end of 'Black Coffee' is crying out to be Madonna-fied! They should have been shopped to Madonna....Shaznay would still be rolling in the royalties! I do love Lana Del Rey and thought 'Video Games' would have suited Madonna in one of her more contemplative moments.
