Pablo94 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Hear my out before you lynch me Okay maybe I have oversold it to get your attention, but I Ghosttown is incredible, I fear that the Internet has made us all so jaded Could you imagine if Vogue or Like A Prayer was release now, we would had it and be so cynical. So sad
Pablo94 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 I'm not saying Ghosttown is in the league of Vogue or Like A Prayer but you get the point
jimster48 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Ghosttown is BEUATIFUL song video is amazing madonna is so sexy and her mom's pic and Lourdes pic it's later on will be classic madonna video it's better than I remember or this used to be my playground I love both those songs
Guest Ivy Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Um NO! Ghosttown wishes it was a bad girl but instead is more a jimmy jimmy but just more boring
Jazzy Jan Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Um NO! Ghosttown wishes it was a bad girl but instead is more a jimmy jimmy but just more boring Ivy ! Always laugh when you dislike a song I love. Now 2 out of 2 my friend, as you also don't like the Power of Goodbye but all good. I am an unashamed fan of Ghostttown. Love the song, lyrics and video. The same as how I love Bad Girl - the song, lyrics and video. Everytime I hear Ghosttown, I think what a beautiful song it is.
HavenHigh Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Only similarity is that both can be labeled as ballads. And the already-dated production I guess. Bad Girl had a subject matter that was not the average "you left me" ballad-type, not suitable for radio at all, it wouldn't have been a big hit even without the SEX book controversy etc. Ghosttown is her attempt in the late 2000s Ryan Tedder/Leona Lewis ballad style, would have been a hit if it was a Celebration bonus track or something...
jimster48 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Her voice is beautiful she sounds like Karen carpenter it's my favorite ballad and messiah
Jazzy Jan Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Her voice is beautiful she sounds like Karen carpenter it's my favorite ballad and messiah Jimster, she does have that wonderful Karen Carpenter style of singing in her ballads. Full of warmth, feeling, sadness and emotion plus we can always understand every word she sings. I think this so often - as a singer she is shamefully under-rated.
MeakMaker Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 How on earth one can possibly compare Ghosttown to Bad Girl? I mean you guys having bad dreams or something? Bad Girl is legendary.. From the video to the live performance on SNL. It's such a dark and emotional song... Ghosttown is just as good but thematically it's actually positive and uplifting. Lyrically they are at opposite ends. Musically they are both ballads but GT is a power-ballad while BG is a 90's r&b ballad.
Apples388 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Erm.. odd comparison. If anything I would say "Ghosttown" is the next "Power of Good-bye." Her first big ballad single since TPOG certainly.
XXL Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I love this song One of her finest ballads EVER Pity this album is not getting any chance by radio They wholly deserve to be played If these songs actually got any airplay we wouldn't be having half the conversations in the charts and demo threads You bet if Justin Bieber's handlers released those songs they'd get the shit played out of them on radio
5iVe Elements Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 If there's one song that should've been #1, this is it.
Guest Ivy Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I love this song One of her finest ballads EVER Pity this album is not getting any chance by radio They wholly deserve to be played If these songs actually got any airplay we wouldn't be having half the conversations in the charts and demo threads You bet if Justin Bieber's handlers released those songs they'd get the shit played out of them on radio I could see Justin singing Bad Girl. And Jazzy you need to step up your game I actually see Heartbreak City as Bad Girls equivalent. Both beautiful ballads with similar dark subject matter. I would need resuscitation if she sang these two in the slow ballad section of upcoming tour. Or alternatively go for a piss and beer when she sings Ghosttown and Power Of Goodbye
horn Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 BG is a mini movie whereas GT remains a music video. BG all the way for me.
karbatal Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Bad Girl is incredible . Ghosttown is a fine vid .
HolidayGuy Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Bad Girl a 90s R&B ballad? At least the ballad part is correct. "Take a Bow" is an R&B ballad; BG, not so much. I wouldn't compare BG and 'Ghosttown," anyhow. Both had strong videos, with the edge to BG, while "Ghosttown" gets the edge as a track.
Pablo94 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 Oh lord this topic is really why you should never post a thread whilst drunk, what the fuck was i thinking Ugh
Guest Pud Whacker Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Bad Girl? are you on Kurt Cobains cocktail?
Pablo94 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 Bad Girl? are you on Kurt Cobains cocktail? Clearly, this is why i should have a care worker
Brasileiro Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Bad Girl video is one of her best, GT is pretty clichê filled unfortunately. However GT is a gorgeous ballad.
Pablo94 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 This thread needs to be deleted it's like a symbol of my drunken shame
Querelle Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 If anything I would say "Ghosttown" is the next "Power of Good-bye." Her first big ballad single since TPOG certainly. Nothing Fails is much bigger - apart from its reduced production and no promotion. It was a bad time for that precious song.
5iVe Elements Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I thought this was about the song not the video. I'm not saying BG is bad. It's good. But GT (song and video) is better for me. I don't think the GT video is full of cliche. I think the BG video is very literal.
Guest Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Bad Girl = an apple. Ghosttown = an orange. Both are different and wonderful.
KalamazooJay Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) I just don't see them as comparable in any way. "Bad Girl" has a mood, ambiance, and vibe that's falls in its own category. It's insanely brilliant. Her SNL performance took it to a new level. The way it began with the spotlight on her, in all black, looking vulnerable. It just mirrored how she must've felt at that time with the backlash in full force. "Ghosttown" SHOULD have been a massive comeback single. It had all the right ingredients. I can see how LFL didn't connect, but this, this should've been it. I feel like SHE wanted it to be "the" single as well. Ah well. The performances and image she portrayed while promoting it were ON POINT. Edited July 26, 2015 by KalamazooJay
Jessica Rabbit Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I hear 5 times at work in montreal. It's huge on Q92 in montreal.
Kurt420 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I don't think the title of this thread fits the OP. I totally agree with the OP! The nitpicking about the most tedious things that goes on now when she releases something is nine times out of ten completely unnecessary.
