Disney owned the name Breathless Mahoney and since Dick Tracy was released by Disney movies instead of one of their other studios they use for more adult audiences, they had control over what was over the album because of the use of the Trademarks they owned.

Actually Dear Jessie had a better chart run in the UK than either Express Yourself or Cherish. But that tracklist is totally fake. Notice the song 'Used To Be My Playground'? lol

I know 'Dear Jessie' is treated like 'Arms Of Orion' in the Madonna fan community (i.e. some people think she wrote it in 3 minutes, spat out the vocals and ran out of the studio) but I love it!! I hope it's on this compilation.

Me too. Actually I am surprised by it. I remember around 1991-1992 a friend of mine called it just a little song and before a few days I played it to another friend of me and he had a similar reaction. I think it is one of her best songs to be honest, definitely better than Cherish, True Blue or Deeper And Deeper.for example. But I guess it won't be on the compilation

onenitealone said:

I love Dear Jessie and Arms of Orion
But honestly, i wouldn't mind Dear Jessie being on the compilation though i'd much rather have a completely remastered Like a Prayer album at this point.

36 tracks including Revolver and Celebration will be on the album.

This makes 18 on each.

I just have to say, I love how you guys never stop talking about Madonna.

Dear Jessie is one of those songs... I used to love it. I don't know why. Because I absolutely detest it now. I hate that it was released as a single anywhere, because I hate having to include it on my 4-disc comprehensive singles collection (yes, it really does take 4 discs now. exactly. even with edits.) its b-side Till Death Do Us Part would have made a better single, I think. or at least a more tolerable looking back at her discography 20 years later

graecophilos said:

maybe 18 on each. the early hits and the newer hits are pretty short, but that stretch in the middle was consistently 4:30 or almost 5 minutes per song. depends on how they arrange the tracklisting, i guess.

errant said:

I feel the same way about Dear Jessie. I loved it when LAP came out, but can't listen to it now. I love Till Death Do Us Part even now. But I don't think either should be on the Greatest Hits album.

I can disappear for MONTHS, come back, do a quick study, get caught up on the Madonna news...it never goes away.

I'd like to know about the DVD colection... Since there are old videos which have never seen that format, I'd like to see Burning Up, Justify & Erotica on that collection....

Which are the missing videos on the DVD complilations??

There is an official trailer and you can see what looks like a booklet, lyrics and some titles. Among those are...

Everybody
Live To Tell
Music
Don't Tell Me
Like A Prayer
Frozen
Die Another Day
Miles Away
Justify My Love

add the officially announce 4 Minutes, Express Yourself to it.

Into The Groove, Hung Up and Holiday are a sure bet anyway

So, out of the 36 song relatively sure are

Everybody
Live To Tell
Music
Don't Tell Me
Like A Prayer
Frozen
Die Another Day
Miles Away
Justify My Love
Express Yourself
Hung Up
4 Minutes
Holiday
Into The Groove
Celebration
Revolver

oh, and images from the Get Together, Give It 2 Me and Human Nature videos are shown.

graecophilos said:

hmmm. interesting. if they're including Human Nature, Give It 2 Me and Get Together, then it's not really going to be a greatest hits, because with the number of ACTUAL hits she's got, some bigger hits are going to have to be left off in order to include these.

onenitealone said:

Hey I like "Arms of Orion"!

errant said:

It's going to be what it always is. The hits she likes the best or can tolerate just enough. In other words, pretty much a rehash of the last collection and typical self indulgent stuff from the last three discs (if "Hollywood" ends up on there I'm done with her). I'm not having those high hopes for "Who's That Girl" anymore.

That all being said, these little things about images from videos don't mean that they are definately going to be on the collection.

errant said:

or edit (shorten) the schitt out of them, like on GHV2

Cinnie said:

oh, i HOPE they're the radio edits. i have all of them, but i want the early ones in HQ remastered sound

GHV2 was all the original single edits. except for Drowned World and maybe Human Nature? i don't remember about that one. i always use the video version

SoulAlive said:

co-sign!!

CHIC0 said:

i have a birthday party tonight, but if i'm sober enough to get there by midnight i'll go. you were out a couple weeks ago... granted it was La La land.

ehuffnsd said:

just arrive in one piece if you do. and if you don't show, i'm sure you won't be missing much. or at least nothing you couldn't see any other night.




yeah. that was a treat. september and october are my next to official outings if that's the case.

Of course we should have a Madonna sticky.

Madonna and MJ reign the non-prince forums.

The new song sounds like a Cascada reject. Very much beneath her.
