Raf Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 btw, as much i love it, i never understood the massive love for this song...
BangGangUK Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I think Get Together is the weakest song from Confessions...there, I said it
Roland Barthes Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I think the only great video from this era was Get Together. HU has lovely parts, what's great about it is the hot pink leotard and Madonna in the dance studio dancing alone. Everything else, not so much. The dancers go from LA in a yellow cab to London in a black cab in a matter of minutes. Madonna is in this throwback retro dance room earlier on, then the video ends in a arcade playing dance dance revolution. Her look is iconic and so is the dancing, but I just don't think the video is well thought out. Sorry was simple and basic, and unnecessary to make that continuation. Like others have said, the solo shots were great, and the roller disco was a nice touch. +1 I wish the real b-roll (not the workprints that leaked 2 weeks ago) leaks one day to make a pink leotard only version.
horn Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I think Sorry is stronger than Get Together. I think Jump is stronger than Get Together. IMO Jump would have made the better third single. In the UK GT's success was hampered by releasing it five months after Sorry.THIS! THIS, Jump as third single would have been a smash worldwide and no..GT wpouldn't been anything different with stronger push and it's weaker than Sorry btw, as much i love it, i never understood the massive love for this song... And THIS!
karbatal Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 +1 I wish the real b-roll (not the workprints that leaked 2 weeks ago) leaks one day to make a pink leotard only version. And take out the glorious moment when she walks the street al beautiful????? And not having the bombastic end where she was so badly hurt but took her superpowers and danced even harder than the rest even though she had to take a zillion painkillers? Hung Up video is not her best, but it's good enough as it is!
karbatal Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I think Get Together is the weakest song from Confessions...there, I said it No, no, no...
BangGangUK Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Sorry Karby, but it just sounds like a weaker rehash of "Music Sounds Better With You" to me But then Push is one of my faves from the album..so what do I know
Creepy Insane Person Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Sorry is a classic and flawless. It was well received and a big hit everywhere (except the U.S.).

jacket Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I think Get Together is the weakest song from Confessions...there, I said it 1 week ban. Effective immediately.
Guest material_boy Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I had no idea "Sorry" was so unloved. I thought that I was the only one who didn't like it! Singles should have been: Hung Up Get Together Forbidden Love Jump
karbatal Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Jump should have been second single with a dark video. It was the first song with a "Madonna-sound" since Nothing Really Matters.
GOD Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I love the demo too. The mood is so different from the Stuart Price version which is more balearic and euphoric whereas the demo is more melancholic. they are both Madonna at her finest. I think it should have been single #1, released during summer of 2005 as a buzz single before the mammoth hit that was (and deservely so) Hung Up. It's a summer song and by summer 2006 the buzz about COADF had died. Madonna dissed Sorry in Rolling Stone calling it retarded I've never been a good judge of what things are going to be huge or not. The songs that I think are the most retarded songs I've written, like "Cherish" and "Sorry," a pretty big hit off my last album, end up being the biggest hits. About Sorry video i agree with everything Suede said I like the Man with guitar instrumental better than the one on the album but i really like the big explosion at the end of the album version. Listening to the stems i found the alternate vocals better, more melancholic and i love the ragga version Stuart did for the tour interlude. Oh thanks for posting I guess there goes the chance for her to ever do cherish on tour again. 😔
Kurt420 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 COADF singles should've been..... 1. HU 2. Sorry (international)/Push (US) 3. Jump 4. Get Together

Guest Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 my lovely raf....me once thought the meaning "spank the monkey" was what are you using it now.. then someone here explained me another different story....i think it was Peter.....better you look it up...
Guest Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Never understood your love for EY, you know, don't you like...horns...?
runa Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 my lovely raf....me once thought the meaning "spank the monkey" was what are you using it now.. then someone here explained me another different story....i think it was Peter.....better you look it up... I remember that.
peter Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 my lovely raf....me once thought the meaning "spank the monkey" was what are you using it now.. then someone here explained me another different story....i think it was Peter.....better you look it up... Me?! Or someone else...? I don't know if I could explain that without blushing!! I like the demo version of Get Together, as well as the album version, which has grown on me over time. (Not that I ever disliked it -- I just fell for the charms of other tracks initially. I sort of got losy a little bit amidst Hung Up, Sorry, and Future Lovers. So excited about the COADF 10th anniversary celebration thread, btw. Love that album, love that era. Tour is amazing. Perfections, indeed!!
ratzuo Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 There's no way GT would've been a huge hit at least in the states, as most radio stations were urban-dominated at the time. Then again, goes to show Madonna was way ahead of her time with COADF - doing EDM ten years before everyone else
SkyHigh76 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I think that "Get Together" would have done better if it had a great.exciting video for it.
frzndrwnwrld Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 COADF singles should've been..... 1. HU 2. Sorry (international)/Push (US) 3. Jump 4. Get Together I'm not a fan of Push, but I surprised it wasn't released in the US. I think it was the most radio friendly song on the album. Remember, this was 2005. They weren't playing Euro-Dance music on US radio. They barely played Hung Up. Look how gross this playlist is: http://www.musicoutfitters.com/topsongs/2005.htm
pourhomme80 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Im convinced it would have been a hit if she had put out simultaneous releases. something along the lines of putting hung up out as the main single and immediately pushing another track to the clubs - whether it was sorry or get together or whatever. I think this dual approach wouldve worked perfectly with her promo schedule which was basically one quick shot for the Hung Up single around the world and then boom she went on tour. I think that was the big problem. she was pretty much gearing up for her tour and there was no promotion at all for get together and for jump, BOTH of which should have been massive hits. As far as im concerned Get Together is one of her modern day classics. One of her all time best and would like to see it re-released one day. Edited September 8, 2015 by pourhomme80
ryan Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Push is a great song. But it would not have done well in any country!
