is this serious?

When I first heard it,I was shocked at the lyrics.She was going around denying that her marriage was in trouble and yet here she is in this song,basically confirming that her marriage is over.Laying it all out there.I was surprised by that.The line "All my dreams they fade away,I'll never be the same" is particularly sad to me.I'm a sucker for a sad melody and heartbreak lyrics,lol.

Madonna's A&R is so fucked up for such a major star. Only Janet's is worse


and maybe Prince's


Anyway, they should have just been smart and stuck to the Immaculate formula - it's her biggest record!

1990
Immaculate Collection
Rescue Me NEW
Justify My Love NEW

then, prior to Music, in 2000 they should have done something that looked more like this (let something to remember stand on its own! YCD did! they didnt dock holiday and into the groove from IC!)

2000
GHV2 (needs a better title - The Immaculate Creation?)
This Used to be My Playground
Rain
Erotica
Deeper and Deeper
I'll Remember
Secret
Take A Bow
Bedtime Story
Human Nature
You Must Love Me
Don't Cry For Me Argentina (Dance version)
Frozen
Power of Goodbye
Ray of Light
Beautiful Stranger
American Pie
NEW
NEW

2010
Music
Don't Tell Me
What it Feels Like For a Girl
American Life
Hollywood
Nothing Fails
Into the Hollywood Groove
Hung Up
Sorry
Jump
Get Together
4 Minutes
Give it 2 Me
Miles Away
Beat Goes On
Celebration
Revolver

Then they could also sell the 3 - cd set - not a major hit missing minus Who's that Girl Sdtk, Dress you Up, and Burning Up! Those could be bonus tracks or remixes as bsides to the newer singles or something cool!

nice!!
i really like that idea. that would've definitely pleased a lot more of her hardcore fans. and they could do the single disc as well for the casual fans.

CHIC0 said:

That commercial has heightened my excitement for this project Just the thought of getting all these classic songs in remastered form!

Are you ready to Celebrate with Madonna?

badujunkie said:

Of course it is. Those remixes are hot! That Stuart Price remix of "Hollywood" would've sent that EP over the top.

AlexdeParis said:

Many fans have said that those remixes bring those songs to life

SoulAlive said:

To this day I hate when Madonna does rock music or uses rock guitars. Her voice is wayyyyy to thin for a decent rock song, it sounds rubbish.

Love Profusion is a nice electro/acoustic ballad, it ain't got anything to do with rock music.

graecophilos said:

The rock version of Love Profusion was OK although the original is better. The rock version of Nothing Fails would be OK if it wasn't for that annoying noise after the first chorus. The rock version of American Life cannot be taken seriously. However the rock version of Let It Will Be is absolutely great. Much much better than the original. I can't really say I love any of the live rock versions of older songs but they are fun to listen to (the studio versions not the youtube live versions lol). Taking into account the rock elements on the first third of Ray Of Light, I would love to see Madonna doing a rock-influenced album much more than I would like to have Confessions or Hard Candy No.2

I think True Blue had the best set of singles from any Madonna album. However the other 4 songs on that album are so bad that overall I would say True Blue is the worst Madonna studio album ever. Who ever had the genious idea of singing a stupidly happy song with the lyrics There Is Hunger Everywhere? lol

White heat and Where's the party are masterpieces, Jimmy Jimmy is insanely entertaining, but LMtWGR is silly...

JoeTyler said:

I don't even like those. But yes they are better than JJ and LMTWGR

SoulAlive said:

Now people are getting crazy. That;s just a news paper behind her!

VinnyM27 said:

I know you'd rather have the lyrics to "Miles Away" behind her

JoeTyler said:

There are only two songs that I don't like on 'True Blue': "Jimmy Jimmy" and "Love Makes The World Go Round".I really have no problem with the other songs."Papa Don't Preach" and "Live To Tell" are two of her strongest 80s singles."La Isla Bonita" is pleasant and good fun."Open Your Heart",I'm not crazy about,but it is undeniably catchy.I can see why it became a big hit."White Heat" could have been a single.The title track is cheesy but fun.

SoulAlive said:

I agree for the most part, except that "Open Your Heart" is my favorite.

jiorjios said:

I think they're all better than the originals. A lot of the problems I had with the songs initially are fixed: the "Nothing Fails" remix removes that choir (it just doesn't work well in this song) and the "American Life" remix makes that ridiculous rap semi-tolerable (although I prefer the Oakenfold remix without the rap).

SoulAlive said:

It's very sad. I was outright bawling when she sang it at the concert.

jiorjios said:

the green paper mix that was used on the tour?

ehuffnsd said:

yeah

Well, I completed my ideal 3-disc singles compilation of Madonna's career. I tried to include all of the big hits while keeping a balance. I killed me to cut "Angel" and "Gambler," but there wasn't enough room. I had no problem cutting "American Pie" because it sucks.

I figured I'd just try it out to see.

SoulAlive said:

Strange, although True Blue has some of her biggest songs, overall for me it makes the impression of a bad album.
