Very cool but keep in mind AL was also a number one single in a lot of foregin countries. I wish this album the best but honestly have no idea how it will perform here and overseas. I still haven't heard it and I'd hate to say it, most of the reactions seem negative!

VinnyM27 said:

who's reactions are your seeing?

VinnyM27 said:

what wisdom would be expelled from doing that? we know she feels like a dork in other places than new york. we know she likes to rhumba to a samba. We know she couldn't take her relatives phoniness as much as they never understood her lonliness.

And besides to cover madonna up with words would be a waste of ... Hey look at the pretty pictures!

ehuffnsd said:

Yes...what reaction are you reading? cuz most only have allocades for the album (sort of) and the single.

OK...no one has made claim so I will...I want those shoes!!!!

Yes, my day 2 of my Madonna fast is going well.

ehuffnsd said:

if this is an indication of what the singles will be, i hope these are the ones aimed at Europe. Push and Jump need to be released in the US.

Tessa said:

BBC has said SOrry is the next single. so isn't performing it.

ehuffnsd said:

Over here! It sounds like most people are bored with it...

so tessa you like the album better a week later?

Tessa said:

VinnyM27 said:

i've only seen one person say that, everyone else really enjoys it.

VinnyM27 said:

Where's here?

Anyways there is no doubt that it will do extremely well overseas. It's already heading to be her 11th #1 UK single.

ehuffnsd said:

yes, i know. but for so many of Madonna's albums, there have been early indications of what the singles will be. for Bedtime Stories, during the MTV interview special, where she talked about the album, it was what became the 4 singles that they gave audio samples of. for Ray Of Light it was that early 5-track promo, which just happened to be the 5 singles. etc.

just hoping that Jump (which is on the album sticker) and Push are promoted in the US.

ehuffnsd said:

CHICO said Jump is the Next single. He swore his life on it.

VinnyM27 said:

You're gonna have to post some of the negative reviews then. I am curious and want to read them.

Tessa said:

My choices would be

Hung Up
Sorry
How High
Push
Get together

Hung Up
Sorry
Jump
Push
Let It Will Be

yes, i like it a lot. dunno how i'll feel in a year, but i really love it (heard it in HQ).


kind of reminds me of the dance sibling of the r&b Bedtime Stories.

Tessa said:

wow. i love that description.

CHIC0 said:

what i mean is that BS and COADF are both very deliberate directions to go. BS after Erotica, COADF after AL.... which were both very good albums, but a little bit heavy for the public at large and seen as stumbles. both are sort of pandering concessions to get her back in the good graces of the record buying public. neither is that substantial, but they're both very good and do the intended job. when i say they aren't substantial, i mean... they give the appearance of just immersing themselves in a genre and having fun, but both can be seen as pretty heavy albums. they sound light and inconsequential, but they really have something going for them undearneath besides the gloss on top.

Tessa said:

but Madonna has been trying forms of techno since the house sounds on Vogue. Electronica has been the focuse since 98. so this isn't a dabbling as much as afullfilling a trip. coming full cicle. Ray of Light to Confessions on a Dance Floor.

i do see it as way to get back in the critics good graces, but she has taken a gamble on the general American public. she'll win the world out side the States with no problem but she is fighting an uphill battle against Clear Channel's foundness of Hip Hop.

Tessa said:

i thought Bedtime Stories was sadly overlooked. not only by the general public, but also many of her "fans". not to mention the recording academy (i.e. Grammys) as was Erotica. listening to those two albums then, and now, i never took it for "fluff" or "light" pop. i think they were both very mature albums. musically and lyrically. sort of a rebirth or acceptance into her womanhood if u will. (think Kylie Minogue's 1994 album. where's MOONBEAM? ) anyway...i guess what i'm trying to say is that while everyone was praising Ray Of Light, and deservingly so, i think she hit that mark several years prior with those two releases.

ok....after re-reading what i wrote. i think i repeated what u said Tessa. i did the same thing with GanstaFam on another thread.

That's great news.I'm surprised that the video is doing so well on TRL,considering that the viewers of that show only care about young rappers and teen acts,lol.I never watch MTV or TRL these days.

btw,the "Hung Up" video can be viewed on Madonna's official site.

VinnyM27 said:

I've printed out about a dozen reviews from the media,and from visiting the various Madonna message boards,I can tell you that this CD is getting RAVE reviews.Many people are saying it's her best work since 'Ray Of Light'.

ehuffnsd said:

oh, those singles would be perfect. I would add get together too. And
how high

In Europe,any of these songs could become singles.But here in the US,Warners should play it safe and release these songs as the next singles after "Hung Up":

"Sorry"
"Push"

They might also wanna release "Get Together" but only to the clubs...send a promo CD of remixes to club DJs.
