:dance:
Even though it went to #1, "Sorry" seems to be one of her most underrated tracks. I can't recall a time when she last performed it. Was it "The Confessions Tour"?

Speaking of which, I haven't heard "Confessions On A Dancefloor" for a while, so I may give it a spin later on today. it sure is a fantastic album.

a bit better sorry than JB's sorry :laugh:

:laugh: I've just had a listen to it and ugh... JB, (and those of a similar ilk) are bloody awful, imo.

Speaking of JB, his new album must be due soon (Heaven help us all). :fist:

It makes me so happy to hear you say that. She certainly does, but a lot of the younger generation just don't appreciate her. They say her music is overrated and she isn't talented (because she doesn't play 101 instruments like someone like Prince did). Have you read the comments about M on the daily mail articles? I could really slap some of those people. :joker:

Articles are now starting to surface about Madonna reserving football stadiums for June 2019...

Italy being one of the first and it holds a capacity of almost 39,000.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadio_San_Filippo

So she's either very confident about the material she's recorded for the new album, or she's planning a greatest hits tour.

If it IS a greatest hits tour, the public are going to go NUTS trying to get tickets.

New Album Release - Fall 2018

Tour Rehearsals - January - April 2019

btw Megan McKenna got criticism but she had been rockin it with her country music her first live performances, cover of Jolene, Ours (Taylor Swift cover), and her 2 Original songs, and a bit of karaoke country singing

the fact she topped Taylor, everyone's pop princess was really great, a amateur beating Taylor Swift :flutter:

my point is, everyone will have his/her haters ;) just focus on the positive comments

Madonna' features on upcoming Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Unmasked: The Platinum Collection", it is out on March 16 and will also feature tracks from JULIE COVINGTON, ELVIS PRESLEY and BARBRA STREISAND.

Madonna invented lace? :laugh2:

Such a shame Madonna doesn't have anything planned for the 20th Anniversay of the Ray of Light album.

I would love something like this...

"Celebration"?

It's a good compilation and it has some fantastic tunes, but I don't like the track sequencing as they're not in chronological order. "The Immaculate Collection" (1990) is considered the best one. ALL of the songs on that collection were massive hits and it sold 30 million wordwide.

"Burning Up" is a song written and recorded for her eponymous debut studio album (1983). It was released as the album's second single on March 9, 1983, in some countries as a double-A side single with "Physical Attraction", another song from the album. The song was presented as an early recorded demo by Madonna to Sire Records who green-lighted the recording of the single after the first single "Everybody" became a dance hit. Madonna collaborated with Reggie Lucas, who produced the single while John Benitez provided the guitar riffs and backing vocals. Musically, the song incorporates instrumentation from bass guitar, synthesizers and drums, and the lyrics talk of the singer's lack of shame in declaring her passion for her lover.

Released with "Physical Attraction" on the B side, the song was given mixed reviews from contemporary critics and authors, who noted the song's darker, urgent composition while praising its dance beats. The single failed to do well commercially anywhere, except the dance chart in the United States, where it peaked at three, and the Australian charts, where it was a top 20 hit. After a number of live appearances in clubs to promote the single, it was added to the set-list of the 1985 Virgin Tour. An electric guitar version was performed on the 2004 Re-Invention World Tour and the 2015–2016 Rebel Heart Tour.

The accompanying music video of the song portrayed Madonna in the classic submissive female positions, while writhing in passion on an empty road, for her lover who appeared to come from her behind on a car. The video ended showing Madonna driving the car instead, thereby concluding that she was always in charge. Many authors noted that the "Burning Up" music video was a beginning of Madonna's depiction of her taking control of a destabilized male sexuality.

So carrying on from this...

The next single from Madonna's 1983 debut album is the smash hit classic "Holiday".

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...Madonna%29.jpg

It features instrumentation from guitars, electronic handclaps, a cowbell, and a synthesized string arrangement, while its lyrics speak about the universal sentiment of taking a holiday. Universally acclaimed by critics, the song became Madonna's first mainstream hit single in several countries around the world (reaching #2 in the UK). Madonna has performed "Holiday" on most of her tours and it is generally included as a part of the encore. Not only is "Holiday" considered a true Madonna classic, but it is also one of the most recognised songs in music history.

Lucky Star is the next single from her debut album.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...Star_7inch.png

Although it peaked at #4 in the USA. It stalled at #14 in the UK of March 1984, it spent nine weeks on the chart and was a huge hit in clubs around the country.
The video is simple, yet striking. Shot entirely on a white backdrop with two dancers, Madonna plays provocatively with the camera as shows off her iconic boy toy outfit with beads and bangles galore - A look that inspired girls everywhere and became the ultimate fashion statement of the early 80's. Lucky Star (like a majority of the album) has aged well and stands the test of time. It might not be as recognisable as Holiday or Like A Virgin, but it's a classic in it's own right. Fabulous!

Work it, Madonna.

I agree. Imagine who great it would be if she showed up to perfom "4 Minutes" with him?
