I'm guessing all of my favorite Madonna hits will be lucky to make the cut:

The sad thing is, great songs like the ones I listed get forgotten a little more every time they are overlooked for such compilations. "The Look of Love" is another one that'll probably miss the cut.

After all, we already have "Everybody" and I think cutting both "Lucky Star" and "Borderline" would be unusual. Since "Bad Girl" is such a favorite and didn't make it on "Something To Remember", it might get another life. I'm still hoping and wonder about "Who's That Girl". It will really piss me off if that one doesn't make the cut this time. If it doesn't, she's an awful person! I just read that some poll about the best loved Madonna songs had it ranking at number ten! | |

I'm a huge fan of Andy. I actually have a copy of the Marilyn Monroe painting in my bedroom with the blue eyeshadow which obviously this cover draws on a lot. Thats what I was going to say, that it reminds me of the Marilyn Monroe artwork. I like it, but yes it could of been a slightly better picture, although I dont think this one is that bad | |

As is always the case with Madonna artwork for her CDs,the fans come up with ideas that are better than what she ultimately chooses:

| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
MY LATEST CONCEPT IDEA IS THAT EACH MADONNA RELEASE THAT CAME OUT ON WB - WHETHER IT BE A SOUNDTRACK, COMPILATION, EP, LIVE CD OR PROPER STUDIO RECORD SHOULD TAKE AT LEAST ONE SONG FROM EACH. THE VERSION SELECTED HERE SHOULD THEN BE REMASTERED (AS WHATEVER EDIT OR MIX IT WAS IN ON THAT PARTICULAR RECORD)
For example: 
so im impressed the original everybody will make it. i believe that Burning Up and Holiday should come from this one. Lucky star should be a DUB 12" and leave it at that. 'Borderline' as her first top ten hit is also a must. 
LIKE A VIRGIN, MATERIAL GIRL, DRESS YOU UP. Done. 
Lets be real here - you truly only need Papa Don't Preach and Open Your Heart. the other 3 are Live to tell, true blue and isla bonita. while im sure the bitch will include isla, i'd say dump all 3 for Where's The Party. Stick an album track fan favorite in. 
We JUST NEED 'WHO's THAT GIRL." UNACCEPTABLE 
OK here is where we take into the groove from - the DUB version at the end. remaster the fuck out of it and so on and so forth... I'll leave it alone babe...just be me | |

^^speaking of 'Who's That Girl'....I hope she includes "Causing A Commotion" on this compilation.Love that song! Takes me back to the fall of '87.Our local R&B station was playing that song like crazy. | |

i wonder if we are going to be getting the remixes she commissioned just after the ReInvention Tour instead of the album and radio versions.
one of which is in the beginning of this video [Edited 7/24/09 1:11am] You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

The original versions which will need to be remastered of LAP, EY and Keep It Together. This record was when madonna stopped doing just R and B and incorporated some actual soul into her own pop productions. 
Not taking this version of Vogue - I guess if we MUST take something here, it should be "Sooner or Later". Period. 
I would take the killer Q SOUND mix of Vogue and remaster it from there. Most of the mixes on her suck anyway. The Holiday version on here is so played out. 
deeper and deeper and Fever - get them to sound GOOD!  [b]
gotta be take a bow, the only thing that salvaged this record into becoming another multiplatinum smash I'll leave it alone babe...just be me | |
