PrintableMadonna refuses to watch 'horror show' BRITs fall as she films Jonathan Ross interviewSHE may have laughed about the incident herself, but Madonna has no desire whatsoever to watch the clip of her falling down a flight of stairs at the 2015 BRIT Awards.Published: 11:09, Fri, February 27, 2015
The mother-of-four refused to watch the footage as she recorded an exclusive interview for The Jonathan Ross Show yesterday. "It was a horrible nightmare because I like to be amazing," Madge told the chat show host. "Seriously I rehearse and I rehearse and I rehearse so that when I do the show, it’s effortless and I create magic and I did the opposite. I actually created a horror show for everyone." Fans and viewers looked on in shock as the 56-year-old star fell down on stage after her red and black Armani cape failed to untie.
Speaking about the elaborate garment, she said: "I’m a creature of habit and I rehearse everything - everything, everything, everything - and I was thrown a wrench at the very beginning of my entrance. "I was told to tie my cape and start much further back than we had rehearsed so because I had to walk so much further, everybody was worried that my cape was going to slide off because it’s quite heavy so they tied it really tight around my neck." She continued: "So here I am marching in like a queen and I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled my silky string and it would not come undone and my two lovely japanese dancers basically strangled me off the stage. I had a choice, I could either be strangled or fall with the cape and I fell."
Commenting on her injuries from the unfortunate accident, Madge added: "I didn’t hurt my butt, I hurt my head. I did. I know how to fall, I’ve fallen off my horse many times and I tucked and I have good core strength... but the thing is, I had a little bit of a whiplash and I smacked the back of my head so there was a man standing over me with a flashlight until about 3am making sure that I was still compos mentis." The US star also laughed off claims that the fall was a cleverly planned PR stunt because of the lyrics to her song 'Living For Live' which feature the word 'stumble'. "I’m never writing lyrics like that again!" she told Jonathan. "The universe was trying to teach me a lesson I guess." However, rather than feel embarrassed by the whole scenario, Madonna stepped out in London last night to attend a party at private nightclub Annabels in Mayfair.

Ghosttown is the second single from Rebel HeartHardly a news, as the album stickers we showed you a few weeks ago were certainly a strong hint and we were also among those who were told, and reported that the beautifulGhosttown was strongly considered as the follow-up to Living For Love in the new era. At the taping of the Madonna special episode last night Jonathan Ross gavethe heartfelt ballad co-penned by his guest together with Jason Evigan, Sean Douglas and Evan Bogart the official seal when he announced it as the second single from the Rebel Heart album. And speaking of single, MadonnaTribe can exclusively report that Ghosttown is going receive a video treatment, but the clip won’t probably be ready before the beginning of the month of April. On the other hand, chances are that the song will impact radio much sooner than that!

^^I can't think of a better choice for second single.It's a fantastic ballad and I think Madonna needs to release a ballad as a single,for a change.Every single shouldn't be an uptempo dance track! | |

USA Today review of Rebel Heart
Madonna's new album is full of 'Heart'
When Madonna sings on the title track of her latest album, Rebel Heart (***1/2 out of four; out March 10), that she has "outgrown my past and I've shed my skin," she is both protesting too much and engaging in understatement.
Our most durable pop star has indeed reinvented elements of her look and sound repeatedly over the past 30 years, but Madonna has retained the same essence: that of a woman who champions and demands love, in every sense of that loaded word. No single artist has been more crucial in shaping our modern view of celebrities as people who need people — and attention. As that view has metastasized into an expectation that artists share ever more of their personal and creative lives, fame's double-edged sword has grown a bit sharper. Madonna felt it last December, when two batches of early recordings from the Heartsessions -- essentially, an album in progress -- were leaked online. Her immediate response was to quickly polish remixes of the first bunch, and make them available to those who pre-ordered the album. Rebel Heart includes those six songs and 13 more; and they present Madonna at her most determined and spiritually unplugged. The sound — crafted with such hip-hop, pop and EDM names as Kanye West, Toby Gad, Avicii and Diplo — is not so much raw as purposefully lean and piercingly direct, as are the lyrics, which mine emotions from righteous anger and pain to resolute joy. Ghosttown mixes a disarmingly earnest sweetness with a stark, chilly arrangement, while on Heartbreak City, Madonna lashes out at a former lover over a shuffling hip-hop groove. The defiant exuberance of first single Living For Love gives way to the deceptively gentle, powerfully infectious Body Shop, with its tinkering rhythms and sly innuendo. There are more graphic references to sex, and two song titles include a mild an expletive. A disciple, Nicki Minaj, pops up on the frisky B---ch I'm Madonna, in which the titular star chants, "You're gonna love this. ... You can't touch this." Madonna could be parodying followers — some of whom have absorbed her through Minaj and other younger stars — who have been inspired by her confidence and marketing savvy but are often less intuitive about things like desire and pain, be it their own or others'. Madonna asserts both her enduring indomitability and her vulnerability, even getting self-referential a few times. On Veni Vidi Vici, she charts the past via song titles — "I saw a Ray of Light/Music saved my life" — then passes the mic to Nas, who recalls his own rise, rather more flamboyantly. Nas raps playfully at the end, "Madonna on the track/Nas in the back." But each is a survivor, and Rebel Heart celebrates that increasingly rare bird with a bittersweet vengeance. Download: HeartBreak City, Body Shop, Veni Vidi Vici, Ghosttown.

Ghosttown definitely is a fantastic single choice but I always prefer ballads to be 3rd singles. | |

I think Iconic should have been released before a ballad. And hopefully they are not remixing Ghosttown, instead an album track that has remix-potential like Hold Tight.according to Madonna's own official website,this is the tracklisting for the Super Deluxe Edition....
TRACKLIST
This means that we get "Queen" and "Autotune Baby" after all | |

I ask the same thing myself every time ... its the excuse I gave the missus for dropping some serious dollar on close to the front tickets for MDNA Tour in Birmingham, and I'll be using the same excuse this time to! www.filmsfilmsfilms.co.uk - The internet's best movie site! | |

Of course, I went to the Tokyo CT shows thinking they might be her last concerts...how wrong I was! 
What are your five favorite songs from the new album? These are mine....
1) Holy Water 2) Illuminati 3) Wash All Over Me 4) Joan Of Ark 5) Beautiful Scars | |

Well, I'm listening to the album again just now--off your list: Wash All Over Me and Joan of Ark. My aboslute favorite is Beautiful Scars. The other two...I'll decide after listening again. Definitely, Rebel Heart--because the lyrics describe some of my life experiences (except for the narcissist part LOL). Addicted--add this one to the list! Damn, I can't decide on #5. At the moment, maybe Iconic? LOL There are songs I consider filler but there are so many good songs that I can't choose five at the moment. The four I mentioned are my favorites... .
I'm inclined to agree with what one reviewer said, that this is definitely an album for the internet age--there are so many songs offered and that the album doesn't really have one unifying theme in the traditional sense... That it will not satisfy everyone, but there are so many offerings that one can make a playlist that satisfies his/her own specific preferences for a Madonna album.

in one of the reviews,the critic actually praised the way Madonna was able to fit the word "genuflect" into a pop song | |

Soul Alive, if you could pick a second single for Madonna, would you have another preference rather than Ghost Town, out of curiosity? "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

No,I prefer "Ghosttown".It's been too long since Madonna has had a ballad as a single! She's so much more than just a dance music diva.I want people to hear another side of her. | |

but I want "Iconic" to be the third single. | |

I even like the rap verse. | |

So, for those who have been following Madonna's career for a while, what was the first song that grabbed you and made you want to hear more from her? For me, it was Lucky Star--the song, the look, the dance moves on video. That hooked me so many years ago...

for me,it was "Live To Tell".I wasn't a huge fan at that point,but when I heard that song,I thought "wow....this lady seems like she has something to say in her music".I was impressed.

Yes, she had more to tell later on...and that's why I continued to listen. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Me too, the only remaining "must be a single" track AND it's also the best possible choice for a tour opener! | |
