PrintableAGAIN? Will there ever be a time when she will give us and herself break? "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

As previously said she's on schedule. She normally releases a new album every 2 years or so. | |

***Madonna will do a song with Mary J.Blige for this album---In a recent interview,Mary said that she wants to collaborate with Madonna.It has been reported that Madonna contacted her,but who knows if a collaboration will really happen? Oh hell naw! When I saw the word R&B, it kind of raised my eyebrow but then I remembered what people consider R&B these days.....shit hop. After seeing who she's contacted, I see I was right. I hear ya! That's why I'm hoping that,when they say R&B,they're not referring to the boring,midtempo,hip-hop sounding crap that pollutes the airwaves these days I'd be pissed if Madonna made an album like that. | |

I hope leaves the R&B crap off the album and delivers and a kick-ass electro/rock album!
She's was always a leader, not a follower! | |

She's was always a leader, not a follower! I know what you mean. I think the popularity of Mary again, R&B is starting to sound more like R&B and less like hip-hop, which is probably a good thing for both! I think if she does make an R&B album in the vien of BS, it might sound good but she'll be repeating herself and in strange way...She'll be repeating something she isn't known for. Hopefully the album will be a progression of COADF....Maybe funky ass R&B with lots of electronic influence. BTW, I was thinking how fucking cool would if be if Madonna did something like record the album in Detroit. Talk about back to your roots! [Edited 1/9/07 15:48pm] | |

I think she loves to work. Who needs breaks when you can keep doing what you love to do? | |

The thing is, everyone talks about "Bedtime Stories" like it's the only R+B album she's ever made. All 4 of her albums from the 80's had a heavy dose of R+B mixed in with the dance and pop. I think it's a natural fit for her. It's just been so long since she's done anything with it, it might seem unusual. | |

What specifically are the R&B elements in her music. Mid-tempo? Can you break it down for me? | |

I'll leave it alone babe...just be me | |

Exactly. She had those elements all throughout her 80's work. The album "Like A Prayer" is loaded with it too. Just take some of the singles alone. "Like A Prayer" is a near gospel opus. "Express Yourself" is an old school soul rave-up. "Cherish" could almost pass for a 60's girl group tribute. "Keep It Together" is vintage Sly. Then there's the Prince duet. R+B and Soul music were not new to her as of "Bedtime Stories". That just happened to be the trendiest and most obvious example of it in her work. I'll be glad if she gets back to it again. I've been wanting it for years now. | |

I agree with everything that you guys are saying.Madonna has been adding R&B elements into her music from the very beginning.But the problem is,today's R&B is creatively bankrupt.Back in the 80s,that genre was still going strong.That's why she was able to get top-notch material from the great R&B producers of the day (Reggie Lucas,Niles Rodgers,etc).In 1994 when she did 'Bedtime Stories',Babyface was in his prime and Dallas Austin was coming up with some truly outstanding grooves ("Secret").However,these days things are different.Today's R&B is nothing more than bland,midtempo,hip-hop-inspired crap.I'm actually surprised that Janet's latest CD flopped....it's filled with the exact type of mindless music that is dominating the charts right now.If Maddy wants to add some R&B to the mix this time around,fine.But if I hear about her calling R.Kelly or Will.i.am to contribute,that's when you'll see me getting pissed I like the way Madonna has largely steered clear of American music trends on her last four albums....working with (mostly) unknown European producers who give her a more edgy sound. | |

In my area,the songs "Holiday","Lucky Star" and "Into The Groove" are played regularly on our local Old School R&B station.I remember the first time I ever heard Madonna,it was on an R&B station.The pop stations didn't really pay her no attention until "Borderline". | |

don't forget Madonna grew up in Detroit when Motown was at its peak so she has a heavy RnB influence. Also Disco sprung from RnB and Disco gave birth to Dance so her roots are planted firmly in RnB You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna
