Madonna

[CandyShop]

Every day is a torture now, i need a release date

Oh we are almost there.....🤞

Oh we are almost there.....爛

Let's hope

Btw, Madonna's choreographer and dancer Marvin gave an interview to a French newspaper and told them he'll go on tour with Madonna in September.

I not convinced we’ll get a tour... but if they’ve kept that quiet I’ll be impressed Madonna managed that. A September start means a June start for rehearsals... which in fairness, sounds right - especially if she drags her new ass on the promo trail for most of May (kicking things off with Eurovision) then goes straight into rehearsals.

What promo could she do? Is Ellen as big as it’ll get in the US or is there another big show she could pop up on?

[Artoo]

I can't forgive her for Love Don't Live and Who's That Girl being left out of the final edition. For the TV broadcast I get that there were time issues, but for the DVD it's unforgivable.

There must be rights issues over LDLHA. She originally recorded back at the start of her career, so it’s possible the rights negotiated to use it at the time weren’t as all encompassing as they should have been - recording concerts for home release hadn’t really become a thing back in 83/84 when she recorded it and I’m not sure Madonna ever thought she might sing it in 2015

She's doing Eurovision that will cover Europe, israel and Australia and Pride parade in NY.

She was asked in I think the Ray of Light era, if she saw herself doing tours and videos at 50 and she said no way I'll be doing tours like I do now S$S is calling

Yeah but she had just won a golden globe... she thought that meant she could act and finally give up the popstar life for Hollywood

I mean.... I mentioned Eurovision in my post

I’m hoping for a return of the mini gigs she used to do to debut the new material for fans. I think she’d broadcast them herself now (unless someone wanted to buy the stream) and I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up being for Icon members only. If she’s still promoting in June (NYC Pride) then maybe she doesn’t being rehearsals until July.

I’m hoping she’ll do a UK chat show (probably Jonathan Ross or Graham Norton again) and my guess is she’ll pop up on Ellen and The Late Show... and fingers crossed for a 2nd Carpool Karaoke.

I’d also like to see her doing magazines covers and interviews this time too. She killed them during COADF and Hard Candy eras.

I think the magazine covers are about to start!

[Westen]

Wow, if this is true, this is amazing dress, and very different from her recent looks.

[breatheonme]

Is her Eurovision performance real? Or is it still just a rumor?

I see more and more people here mention it.

[beredy]

Still just a rumor.

[AlphaMale]

A strong one...

[AndiIversen]

About the poll, I can't believe you guys forgot about Time stood Still I guess technically it wasn't a soundtrack single though
I voted for it on the "other" option
Also voted for Into the groove, Causing a Commotion and I'll remember.
I also liked Oscar winner- oops sorry- not Masterpiece

Exactly, the poll is about soundtrack singles and "Time Stood Still" was not released as a single. "Masterpiece" wasn't a proper single either.

[RayRay]

^^ That's right, it wasn't a single.

[AndiIversen]

It's been such long time..I mean is this the longest we've had to wait since her latest album release? I think of maybe bedtime stories and ROL but then we had STR and Evita sandwiched between them

It was officially issued to radio in the UK, so forms part of her singleography now I suppose. It bugs me, but it was officially released I suppose (as oppose to radio just playing it) and as a result it did chart in the UK. Sort in the same way Hold Tight is a single from Rebel Heart in places and Over and Over is also a single from Like a Virgin in Italy.

BS-Rol - 3 years and 5 months;
Hard Candy- MDNA - 3 years and 10 months;
Rebel Heart - ? - already 4 years (Mar 15/Mar 19)

Yeah,by far the longest we've had to wait .

When did they send Time Stood Still to radio? Never heard that one before.

This is the longest wait we’ve ever had for any new music. And old fans thought 1988 was a tough year

I don’t begrudge her though. Her life has changed so much since Rebel Heart was released. She basically took 2017 off when she adopted the twins (and part of me now suspects that may have been part of the adoption conditions - it’s unusual a single woman of her age would be allowed to adopt twins unless there was a firm plan of care and bonding plan in place). Then let’s not forget her relationship with Rocco broke down and she’s had to adjust to not getting her own way (and let’s not forget her lawyers accused Guy of kidnap and wanted him arrested).

Its easy to brush Rebel Heart off as a 2015 release, but she was on the RHT until 2016 and then worked on editing the footage (frame by frame herself, or so you’d have thought) and we know she was trying to write and make a movie (‘Love’ - based on the book ‘The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells’ which I ended up reading and thought was a perfect story for Madge). Then she turned 60 which I think had an impact on her too.

I believe she started working on M14 the end of 2017/start of 2018 so whilst we’ve waited forever, if she hadn’t taken 2017 off I think we’d have had the album in 2018 which would then have been a typical Madonna time frame.

Though there is no excuses for not giving us new song along the way (Champagne Rose doesn’t count as she recorded it drunk in her bathroom). But knowing Madonna she’ll have thought we’d have been happy with RHT album. Maybe, if she had added in the studio version of ‘If I Had a Hammer’ she teased us with. But probably not

Wrong quote. I meant Masterpeice. Fixed
