HolidayGuy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 "Finally heard live" in your tag makes it sound like M's never ever performed it live. But, agreed, it's long overdue, especially for a tour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacket Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Another cover by a singer who is never questioned on her ability to sing proving just how difficult Madonna's songs can be to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciccone's Cheeks Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 there´s a lack of sweetness in this performance... Agree. Regardless, it's by far one of my least favorite M songs esp #1 songs! lol Hate the sedating as shit generic Babyface production. The lyrics are classic M but woulda prob. LOVED it if Pat Leonard or the like produced it. It should've had a darker more Live To Tell-esque production. To this day beyond baffled how it's her longest #1 in the US. The irony...w/ all her mega worldwide smashes, her longest US #1 was one of her biggest under performers w.w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpb4uthink Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I like Kelly. Whenever I see her on a talk show , she is so down to earth and real. Glad she likes Madonna songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciccone's Cheeks Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I like Kelly. Whenever I see her on a talk show , she is so down to earth and real. Glad she likes Madonna songs. I like her too. And she's def. shown a lot of M love over the years. Her audition song for AI was Express Yourself! I heard she's even sweeter in person/real life! Just think she's kind of stuck now with her career (image, sound etc)...Heartbeat Song was 'pleasant' but basically shit and a poor mans version of all her 'dance/pop' songs. Any song that has the name 'song' in the title is almost an instant fail imo lol. I still say her roots/trademark 'sound' that I'd love to hear her return to is rock/pop. There's plenty of songs like that on radio now (the song Uma Thurman I could totally see her singing!) She's still young and I think if she loses some weight, gets better management and material she could def. come back. Radio was *obsessed w/her exactly 10 years ago. She positively was as beloved by radio like Taylor and Katy are today. She fcked up w/ My December and most def. this last album :/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horn Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 M sang it so effortlessly whereas Kelly sang like it's end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmmmm Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 She did good to me. Congratulations to her on her pregnancy, 2nd child on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glindathegood Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I think the verse part is good, but when she goes into the chorus she tries to belt too much. Madonna's style is much more subtle, which gives it the sweet quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promise to try Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 if/when madonna decided to sing this,Im sure the babyface sound would disappear,as what happened with you'll see and david foster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmark Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So cute that she covers this... but once again, the complexity of many a Madonna song really shows when you hear someone trying to cover them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkspur Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I think the verse part is good, but when she goes into the chorus she tries to belt too much. Madonna's style is much more subtle, which gives it the sweet quality. This is how I felt listening to this. I love Kelly and love that she sang this song. It is interesting how there is criticizing of Madonna's singing and yet she owns her songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5iVe Elements Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I think it's nice. Definitely not up to par with Madonna but because her voice is unique so it's hard to cover her songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CJM Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I don't like covers of Madonna's song. This is no exception. They just can't capture Madonna's emotion and passion in a song. M also has an extremely unique and distinct voice. It's so easy to do imitations of other pop artists but I've never heard anyone able to imitate Madonna or even cover her songs well.

Even though Kelly did a great job, she did not capture Madonna's melancholy and emotion. I have also heard several times that Madonna is the hardest star to impersonate. She truly is one of a kind.
