ruey Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Just listening to the MDNA tour version - how fucking amazing is this song? If any reason to love MDNA, this is IT. Ironically - as much as I love this song, I also can't help but feel how under utilized it's potential is... anyone else have these feelings?
mamifero Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 My favorite MDNA track. Period. And Yes, totally underrated.
loowee Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 One of her best songs post 2000 but the vocal completely killed it.
Ai Papi Si. Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Acoustica version is luxe. Album version is too but yes the vocal is so processed. It was unreal live. MDNA era doesn't get enough credit IMO.
ruey Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 One of her best songs post 2000 but the vocal completely killed it. I wonder why they did it the way they did??? One would think Madonna & co. are intelligent people... who use their brains
Flip The Switch Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 The vocals, distortion and overproduction killed the album version for me. Still of the best songs off MDNA and is all about the tour version.
anastaza Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I was not big on this song initially, but now it's definitely one of my favorites from "MDNA."
promise to try Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Acoustica version is luxe. Album version is too but yes the vocal is so processed. It was unreal live. MDNA era doesn't get enough credit IMO. best song of that album!! and I hope, in a few years, this era will be more respected, ala HC, or Erotica...
Guest Hunterlas Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 One would think Madonna & co. are intelligent people... who use their brains Are you suggesting Madonna isnt intelligent? A woman who doesnt uses her brain? ...my heart goes out to you. You sound so stupid, I feel sorry for you. Now thats out of the way, let me say: LOVE SPENT is fucking everything. E V E R Y T H I N G ! ! ! !
promise to try Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 madonna needs and album, ala umplugged, to make people rediscover these type of gems from her discography.Just her, the musicians, and her voice
5iVe Elements Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I cried so many times to this song. Beautiful.
Iconic Fetus Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I love it, I was so happy when she added the song to the setlist, i wanted to be the fourth single.
nick00 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Personal favorite on the album, and most fans surprised was suppose to be bonus track up until the last minute. Feel sorry for you guys who missed it on European leg!
madmark Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I WISH she had included the "Love Spent" moment when I saw the MDNA tour... that is now my favourite part of the DVD. That performance is now one of my faves by her ever! Love the acoustic version best for sure. But also love the album version... I remember not thinking I was going to like this song at first when I heard a snippet, especially since the lyrics are unique, but it definitely became a highlight of the album quickly!
madmark Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 madonna needs and album, ala umplugged, to make people rediscover these type of gems from her discography.Just her, the musicians, and her voice Something to Remember II could have a lot of moments like this included, Love Spent acoustic (especially HQ), Joan of Arc early version, etc... fingers crossed that she releases it or something like it!
Guest Hunterlas Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I was in Chicago the first time she performed it... It was my first time in the Golden Triangle. I was so happy already and then she started siging Love Spent. I thought I was gonna fucking die!!!!
elijah Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Its THE SONG on MDNA. But Madonna was setting the trends to release her weakest songs as singles so naturally that wasn't one. If it was up for me THAT would ve been the lead... Its hard to gasp the decision to release the 3 MDNA singles when you have Love Spent Beautiful Killer and I m Addicted (another possible candidate for the first single).
ruey Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 Are you suggesting Madonna isnt intelligent? A woman who doesnt uses her brain? ...my heart goes out to you.

We agree on the Love Spent being amazing, so let's stay on a good foot.

Yes so many fans at the time seemed to be hoping for LS for the third or even fourth single, but never happened.
Apples388 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Best song on MDNA. Best song from the '06-to-RH era.
ryan Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 That final minute......DAMN SOOOOOOO FUCKING GOOD Love both versions But the album version is life.

If it was up for me THAT would ve been the lead... Its hard to gasp the decision to release the 3 MDNA singles when you have Love Spent Beautiful Killer and I m Addicted (another possible candidate for the first single). I agree. Those were the three best songs on the album, yet the three weakest were release. Truly mind-boggling.
Shane Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 One of my all time favorites. In fact, from Love Spent to Beautiful Killer is one of my all time favorite stretches on a Madonna album.
loowee Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I'm Addicted Gang Bang Some Girls I Don't Give A Beautiful Killer Love Spent Masterpiece I Fucked Up (different production) Best Friend (different production) Falling Free This would've been a pretty solid post-divorce album! What was the point of those jolly songs (TUTR/GMAYL/SuperStar/I'm A Sinner/B-Day Song) on the record?
Guest Hunterlas Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I'm a Sinner is life Yes! and so is Turn Up The Radio! MDNA forever motherfuckers.
HavenHigh Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I like the live version a lot because it eradicates all the bad things of the album version: shrill vocals, too fast melody, some of the silly lyrics and the cheap production (what was the point of the Hung Up reference by the way?)...
Ai Papi Si. Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Huh, me lake you marry? Tear me that you war me? Spin your loaf of meat Spin your loaf of meat
