My entire day would revolve around a show like that!

I missed last night but they always have an interesting chemistry. Mentally, she seems to return to New York when she's with Letterman, yknow? Even if it makes her squirm a bit.

You're my new best friend. Someone sees the light! So many Madonna fans even diss Bedtime Stories. And I agree--94/95 was her creative peak as far as her reperatoire. Although Erotica is still my fave. It's too bad she cancelled her tour in 95...that woulda been the shit.

Anyone who doesn't know her cover of "I want you" is missing Madge at her best.

Among my top 5 Madonna songs.

Word.. Madonna with Massive Attack in 1995...

GangstaFam said:

I agree! Even though there are a few songs on Bedtime Story that I don't care for (Survivor is one that comes to mind - never a favorite), I love that whole period. Let Down Your Guard is a really fun, pseudo-TLC track, and her reworking of I Want You with Massive Attack is brilliant. Love those house mixes, too!

RipHer2Shreds said:

I even love Survival! The only songs from that whole batch that I don't have much use for are "One More Chance" and sometimes "Love Tried To Welcome Me" is a drag in that stretch of ballads. Other than that, I at least like everything else. Most of it I love.

Bedtime Stories

Oh and I love Music too.

the impression i got was she could not remember which "madonna" she was going to be for the interview. its not secret that she is the queen of reinvention and thaat everything she says or does should be taken somewhat with a grain of salt. that said, i think she's begun to belive her own bullshit. one second she's telling us that even thinking about sex is equal to having sex because "you are what you think" (a play, apparantly, on you are what you eat). the next second she's showing her cleavage to the camera. she was very flaky and jumped from topic to topic (as is usual on letterman because he's such a lazy host) while saying very little at all.

without actually seeing her jump from personality to personality and character to character its difficult to explain. nonetheless, we sat here wondering what in the world she was trying to do. it was like she went on there determined to be the "new and improved" madonna whom she's been peddling in recent years but deep down she knows people want the old madonna. so instead of being herself she changed personas every few seconds to keep everyone happy. it was just all very odd.

makes me wonder if madonna really knows who she is. it left me a little sad for her (rthough i did enjoy the whole bit).

I didn't get ANY of that.

GangstaFam said:

Me neither. All I picked up on was what ehuffnsd said, the same nervous tension they always have where they're both pretty on guard and letting it down to throw a barb at the other one. The interaction seemed pretty typical of all their other interviews. I thought it was great.

SassyBritches said:

WOW. That's a bit scary, if that's what u truly derive from
the Letterman Interview. If I hadn't read u b4 (on this forum),
I'd say it's as if u almost don't have a sense of humour, at all.

Are you serious ? I think we're reading into things too much.

I finally heard "Hung Up" on the radio about an hour ago and it's even better. I find that songs, especially dance songs, sound better on the radio and this is a clear example of that. I can't wait to Confess!

MendesCity said:

I didn't think it was a terrible appearance. If this is the worst appearance she does, she'll be fine.

Has anybody noticed the line from Lovesong on Hung up?

SassyBritches said:

You were concerned because Madonna gave a cleavage shot. You are gay!

I thought that was great (her body looks better than ever!). She was a little bit of out of it, but no, she didn't go Farah. I've seen about six dozen other woman who looked a hellvu more uncomfotable than Madonna did.

purplecam said:

Still waiting to hear it on radio. I don't think it will happen here!

SassyBritches said:

it's Madonna on Letterman.
She was that way when she appeared with Sandra in 89
She was that way when she appeared in 1994
She was that way when she appeared in 2001
She was that way when she appeared in 2003

he took jabs at her before she came out about her being clean and taking showers. Jokes that go back to the Fincident.

she always comes clothes to saying a curse word or to sexual to make him uncomfatable.

it's what they do. Madge and Letterman have always been just really random. Alot of it is inside jokes. Hell Madge probably called up yesterday said she was in town and wanted to appeared and they scrapped the show they had planned. alot of it is inside jokes and carry over from previous interviews so if you've missed on it's hard to follow along.

SassyBritches said:

I think it's a bit underrated. It's a very slow album save a few tracks...but at the same time lush and organic. Very short sweet and to the point I think. It's not a powerhouse album but it's not supposed to be.

GangstaFam said:

I personally think her entire 90's out put was her best so far.

GangstaFam said:

Survival sets the TONE of that album. If you don't like that song...you're probably not going to like the album.

co-sign. they banter all the time. it's their schtick.

JackofallTrades said:

yeah somewhere rond here someone mentioned it. she also uses Love song on another song on the album.

superspaceboy said:

Do you really think she uses it in "I Love New York". I think the interviewer screwed up and meant "Hung Up" and Madonna, who is kind of flaky about detials sometimes, didn't catch it.

superspaceboy said:

Not for me. That is to say, I don't like Survival, but the Bedtime Stories album, as a whole, is one of my favorites of hers. So many good songs on there. It was sort of her R&B experiment, and it worked. That I'd Rather Be Your Lover outtake with the rap by Tupac is odd, but I even like that!

The documentary was fantastic!
