It is the last thing she needs. https://www.timesofisrael.com/madonna-eurovision-production-said-fighting-over-song-choice/ I don’t think it will be about American Politics... My prediction is that the song deals with inclusion and diversity, which is suggested by the casting of drag queens for the video. And I’m so here for it!

I think ultimately it could go both ways, judging from her career and I will say it again: it would all come down to the music itself. LAP with its sexual/religious controversy was a great success, because the song itself was an earworm and you simply couldn't dislike it. Its just this uplifting and tender masterpiece. AL the song was a mediocre (bordering to bad) song nowhere near LAP or her other leads. So it was obvious it would bomb. For both those eras she was coming off a hugely successful previous eras so they are definitely comparable. So if the song is not strong enough, anthemic, uplifting etc. it would flop. If its among her best, it wont. Its that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I doubt lyrics are controversial. So maybe Madonna tones down some visual and everything will be alright. Has Madonna ever released a controversial LYRIC? I don't recall she being banned from radios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, AL was banned from radios but because of the video only, as the song itself has barely anything political to it. I personally don't like political art and music, so I'm hoping her new material leans more towards the emotional life and imagination, but I can see a lot of people crave political songs from her or are very excited about that prospect. Maybe it's time for her to do that, who knows. It would be a terrible shame if she had to cancel her Eurovision performance though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s purely for ‘TheArtist’ then Madonna should do what she wants to do she always has and it used to work but May not work this time around Their paradise s not for me Respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

articunocc Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 sorry but :((( I really really don't want no political drama at eurovision, no one but her hardcore fans are here for that... and tbh it's 99% likely going to be about some issue she has addressed before a thousand times over...

HolidayGuy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I don't see how a track about diversity would be too controversial to perform. So if there is truth to this, then it's gotta something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt420 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 11 hours ago, loowee said: I’m starting to think the disco lead single is actually “Killers” from the tracklist? @robster‘s source singled out the song saying how great it was, and the title definitely seems related to the alleged “stonewall/cops” concept of the music video. Hmmm.....maybe it's a statement about police brutality. I can definitely see how naming a song called "Killers" about police brutality could be controversial. That's definitely a hot topic in the US. I've pretty much given up on the idea of Madonna having a hit. It's just not a likely thing. She could release LAP with a "nice" video of children dancing into the sunset being blessed by angels and it still would barely make a dent in 2019. It's an uphill battle as far as that goes. If it happens, then awesome! Would love to see her top the charts again. It's ok to be optimistic but let's not be unrealistic about the circumstances here. The good thing about that is, what does she have to lose really? She should just go for it, balls to the wall I say. I know we know little to nothing here, but it sounds like she's covering all bases.....she has her "disco" solo, controversial lead single to cover the "artistic" side of things.....and then there's the Maluma collab to cover the "commercial" side of things. Then again, she worked with Ricky Martin at the peak of his fame and the song was never even released as a single. I'm just expecting the unexpected here.

Guest dcbyebyebaby Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm leaning towards this actually not happening. But if it doesn't happen because of Madonna and her song choice I'm actually going to be mad. If it doesn't happen because it was all just rumors to begin with then I'll be fine . I just don't want to be so close to happening and then not because of a dispute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
