jacket Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Is the way it is spelt. I can't get over it. Someone explain to me why it is spelt that way? Is it a proper noun? Is Ghosttown a place?
Shane Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I don't think there is any deep reason. Just for a neat "look," I suppose. Artists have been doing nonsense spellings for decades. Just think of half of Prince's canon. She did the same thing with HeartBreakCity.
HolidayGuy Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Her team missed a letter in that guy's name in the LFL video- and look at her spelling on social media. So the occasional questionable grammar usage should come as no surprise.
Elysium Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 We live in the age of Instagram where words are squashed together next to a hashtag...it's no big deal...it's good that our language is evolving! #ghosttown
Guest CJM Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I still can't get over the fact there is no comma in Bitch I'm MADONNA 😩😩😩
Guest HaveASit Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I don't think it has a reason, it's just "cool". Other artists do that too Anotherloverholenyohead - Prince Whatchulookinat - Whitney
Platinum Gold Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 It's edgy and cool lol but she spells it Ghostown on ig so who knowa

So the occasional questionable grammar usage should come as no surprise. Erm, "that guy" happens to be Friedrich Nietzsche - one of the most well known philosophers of all time. For someone who is as well-read as Madonna is, that error was shockingly amateurish. Seriously, Google autocorrect is your friend - team Madonna
Apples388 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 As for GHOSTTOWN, I like the way it's spelt. It's artistic license. Love it.
loomer Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 So as not to be confused with The Specials ICONIC "Ghost Town"
Guest bluejean Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 This is probably why the song and album is flopping. She'll destroy her legacy if she doesn't fix all these errors! It's Guy's fault though, she needs to fire his ass then resign to Warner. They may not know how to make radio edits but they can at least spell!
Mozo1 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Spelt is making me laugh all on its own. Or, Spelled is mayquing me laff all on itz oun.

So the occasional questionable grammar usage should come as no surprise. By "that guy's name" you meant the incredibly famous German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche?!?!?! OMG! LOL!!!
jacket Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Seriously do we need a thread for this? This is probably why the song and album is flopping.

HolidayGuy Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Yes- I wrote "that guy" because I didn't feel like looking up the spelling .
Carta Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I am completely against the evolution of language as a result of laziness! Carly, I agree with you re BIM!!!
Strilo Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) The only thing I hate is the tiny trace of auto tune on her vocal. Not for cool synth effect, which I'm fine with, but to fix off key singing. We all know she can sing it right without any help, so take the time to do that! Other than that, I love Ghosttown. My favorite song on Rebel Heart, I think. Edited April 7, 2015 by Strilo

You could find traces of autotune on any song, DP and GT use it for deliberate effect as well.
Nikki Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 i like it and it helps with that adam lambert now suddenly releasing a song with the same title (which is getting pushed majorly by warner, btw.. and its not even out yet)
Guest PRPapi Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I still can't get over the fact there is no comma in Bitch I'm MADONNA THIS!!!
5iVe Elements Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 How about Dance 2Night? X-Static Process. She misspelled that so badly too
