i'd like to expound on that last post of mine...

some people have profound experiences that alter the way they see things - be it addiction, death, religious rebirth, whatever. they don't create these things themselves and then write about it; these things just happen and it affects them. i get the impression, over and over again, that more often than not madonna created a scenario in order to have something to talk about. her experiences seem to lack an organic nature that true singer/songwriters so eloquently write about. this is why i think madonna writes so well and so strongly about the death of her mother - it was organic and truly affected her without any of her own fabricated instigation. its also why i think she writes so well about her religious beliefs. most of the time she writes about "issues" it comes off very phoney and insincere. that was my problem with most of music. besides the fact that its all so self-involved, its also all really petty, trite material.

i don't think so. she is good with the songs about expressing yourself. cause that has been her mantra for years. she is good with songs about her mother, and good with songs about losing love. most of her ballads are breakup songs. she has few songs that are about finding the right one. those have only come out since she met guy. I sense a great amount of loneliness in her work. she is the most famous woman on the planet, but does she really have anyone in her life who doesn't want anything from her?

personally, she's made 4 straight out ballads that i like. only 4: playground, bad girl, you'll see, and take a bow.

i'm sure you could fam out with the best of them to this:

Very interesting. But relationships, no matter who wears the pants are not entirely under one party's control. As much as she might've created a certain pattern in the relationships she has, romantic or otherwise, they're not exactly something you can control. They take on an organic life of their own and in many cases, just "happen". I'm sure Madonna's about as good as they come at getting what she wants out of people, but I think she's had her fair share of heartbreak. Who hasn't? She's had a lot of friends die. She's dumped and been dumped. She's been estranged from family and friends. She wanted a child for years and years. This could stem from her alleged rape/abortion. She's seen a lot. Much of it out of her control. Her plaintive, soul-searching ballads about relationships come across as very real and heartfelt to me. They're among my favorite songs she does. Even on a cover like "I Want You", I FEEL it.

honestly, i think this is the first relationship madonna's been in where she doesn't lead the dance. it is quite easy for powerful people to be in total control. do you think donald trump's wife has ANYTHING to say in their relationship? and prince, does the ol' wifey tell him how to do things or does he break it down for her? i have no doubts madonna was the same way until guy. she finally wanted a family and she gave in to regular married life with him, where its give and take. i'm not saying its not life altering but its just rather uneventful. its so normal. who cares? that is my general feelings for the music cd. "who cares?"

You don't like Janet ballads either do you? See, those are among my favorite songs of hers too.

only missing the Look of Love and Spanish Eyes. it would have been perfect with those included.

some of them. she's in the same boat with madonna though. she creates too much of the drama and then sings about it. a u2 line is running through my mind right now: "every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief...all kill their inspiration, then sing about the grief." that is poetry.

exactly. she's dated many men that it would NEVER work with. she gets very public relationships, rather short relationships (so there's no commitment), and lots of material...not to mention press.
