Madonna's MDNA Album & Singles Chat — Page 17

I knew the new album wasn't going to get play in the gay clubs after my stint working with the youngsters this year. It was clear there was nowhere for Madonna to fit among that which gets the kids on the dance floors now.

I didn't like Bedtime Stories when it first was released, tried to listen to it a few times but didn't care for it. And then, this former model and fashion photographer I was having a mad affair with put it on as background music for a night of intimate experiences and it was then that I realized exactly how perfectly it had been designed for just such a thing.

I think Bedtime Stories is underrated. It showed what Madonna could do when she embraced a genre that was unexpected of her. It opened up R&B and artist like Babyface to the larger public. And it had a bunch of great songs on it, too.

Tour pictures are amazing. I enjoy that she is back to using sets- like the Blond Ambition tour

Madonna- Filming her next video to 'Turn Up the Radio' all over Italy.

I personally think Turn On the Radio is a mistake as a single, but I do have friends who don't care for her and like this song. So what do I know.

Quite a link, taboo. Apparently the writer has never heard "Hello," Or is pretending to have never heard "Hello."

And I didn't realize "ageism" is the all-purpose excuse people are tossing around, I thought it was something songanddman thought up and kept bring up again and again.

At the barbershop today, I read a Rolling Stone from the spring that had Paul McCartney on the cover. It was interesting to read the thoughts of the then-69 year old icon. He spoke of how sad he was that the downside of The Beatles and other British invasion bands becoming the fashion, was that composers like Harold Arlen were done for in the early-'60s. Madonna benefitted PLENTY from pop music's 25 year focus on youth when she came around. There were plenty of established strong female writer/singer/musicians her ascent eclipsed. So, it's hard for me to get too worked up with sympathy for her. There is no reason she can't do creative and interesting things (during the article McCartney detailed finishing up his standards album and immediately started work on a rock album).

But no, unlike the countless role models before her who kept on evolving, Madonna's dropping her pants and singing in a baby voice.

I think it would be better with Madonna and Gaga.

I guess she finally got a hit. #19 on the Hot One Hun-... oh, wait.

I can't believe I managed to read that full "article". Wow...

Okay, so he went a bit overboard.. But at least somebody finally called her out on her subpar recent output in the press. Now, will it make her more determined to prove him/other naysayers wrong, or will she take his advice?
