Guest eroticerotic Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I honestly feel like she needs new people around her. theres still something in her that in my opinion has not come to fruition, in full. theres still a restraint. I feel that. in everything she does. moreso in madame x. like a cry for a partner or tribe in crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proper Madame X is the 15 track "deluxe" edition - as reflected by the fact that the vinyl version contains all those tracks. I still cant fathom why they bothered releasing a "standard edition". it benefits absolutely no one and clearly wasnt the album that madonna presented as a finished product. Stop staying IDSIF is a bonus track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a number 1 ten years ago. 22 hours ago, Flip The Switch said: It does. What a fantastic song. I see it being#1 too. Such a different sound for the Queen that caught the fans off guard at first. Relistening to it months later it's a great feel good track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never get the point of the 'standard' editions. And I believe she has said that she considers the 'deluxe' versions of the last two albums as essentially the true, full versions of those albums.

While I'm not a huge fan of the album, I can respect and appreciate that she created something completely left of field that feels unrestrained. She obviously didn't make this album to burn up the charts. I'd say that MX is probably the album she wanted to make after American Life as it feels like its natural successor.

I musta felt a type of way Bc I don’t even remember posting it yes I agree mx shows the opposite of what I’m saying. I guess I meant more of people around her.

luluthecat Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 .........I don't know. Her team don't seem particularly keen of using beautiful images for singles etc. Imagine how amazing that would look on a RSD 12" single!! Sadly never gonna happen.

ThomasW Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I just can't tell you how happy I am that we got so many -not good - Great Madonna videos this era so far!

poprock Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I can't help but feel a bit disappointed that Madame X didn't get any Grammy nominations. I thought it would've gotten a little recognition for being such a brilliant album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing in relation is Tracy Young's "I Rise (Pride Remix)" getting nominated for Best Remixed Recording (which bothers me that it never goes to the vocalist as well).

Mr.X Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) It's really a shame. Madame X is one of the most ambitious and audacious albums of the year. It really deserved to be nominated. Edited November 20, 2019 by Mr.X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiagoRodrigues Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Honestly the vocal production of Madame X killed most of its chances. It was a mess. I love the album but i always felt like the great messages were being overshadowed by those vocal effects. You can't really have such heartfelt messages and Portuguese sounds with sound effects like Batuka and most Mirwais songs. I feel like her vocal production was much better in everything not-Mirwais: Crave, Come Alive, Looking For Mercy, etc. The only Mirwais song that i felt the vocals weren't entirely ruined was Extreme Occident.

Samo Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Her PR is a disaster, she barely promotes and goes right into tour rehearsals and forgets she released an album I mean, knowing radio won't play her new stuff, why didn't she herself pay for a radio deal for Medillian, why didn't she do more performances or promo? Why didn't she have a popular TV series, movie or commercial use the song ? That fire is long gone, been gone since Confessions Shit management, non existent PR, legacy severely damaged the last 10 years etc FIRE GUY FIRE GUY FIRE GUY Go back to a REAL record label too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got 5 amazing videos and actual promotional strategy until the tour. It SUCKS she doesn't get accolades but it's likely she never will again. She knows this. I'd hate to see her campaigning. If Bruce isn't getting nominated there's no way she will. That ship has sailed for now. Madonna makes the decisions, so hating Guy is fine but really. She just put her music on Stranger Things and it did exactly what it was supposed to do...promote her to new audiences. It wouldn't have made any Madame X song more of a hit.

Martin B. Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Oh please, as if any effects on her voice, production or promotion had anything to do with the lack of nominations. Even before the release of the album, it was clear that she would have no nomination. These are again unrealistic expectations that some members of this forum have created for themselves. Even at the time of her peak of commercial and critical glory, she was barely recognized by the Grammys and never in the major categories. It's clearly not now that it's going to change as producers are desperate to bring back an audience that deserts this ridiculous and boring awards show for years.
