I love this clip, doesn't M look flawless? *just a lil flasback* :)

Hey you is a really good song I heard it on radio today :heart

Justin on Madonna

I hope the dance tracks are the ones to end up on the album and that they aren't too mellow.

I know M never does the same thing twice, but damn I sure hope it has Bedtime Stories-esque elements in it. That's probably my favorite M album if I had to choose.

Well, that's the kind of mellow I could love. Something that sounds a bit like Secret?

Yes, something like Secret would be great! My favorites from Bedtime Stories are Sanctuary, Inside of Me, and Love Tried To Welcome Me. Those of course are the really mellow tracks but they're just too beautiful.

It's been a while since I listened to Bedtime Stories, I'll have to do that again soon because now this has got me thinking about how much I liked the overall quality of the album. Confessions was great with the return to dance and I've loved dance/"attitude" tracks like Express Yourself and Vogue, but I think Bedtime Stories might be Madonna's most beautiful album. The lyrics and mood just strike me as unique for Madonna, wonderfully ethereal and occasionally even a bit unsettling and edgy. And Take a Bow is perfection; I don't think her voice has ever sounded more lovely.

If the Justin collaboration leads to a return to something like Bedtime Stories, I'm afraid that despite not being a fan of his I'm going to have to approve of his influence on her music.

I pretty much only liked the singles on Bedtime Stories, so if this stuff would sound like anything off that album, I'd want it to be those tracks. Confessions was probably my favorite album of hers, with American Life in second, so I'd kind of like her to stick with that stuff, but then again, she really doesn't do anything twice. I don't know what to expect now. I do know that I'm getting awfully tired of waiting though, because we haven't gotten anything really new from her in quite awhile (Hey You not included).

This cracks me up, she is so cute! :laugh

I just wonder ... how many albums have Madonna done? :)

20

ten studio albums, five compilations, three full soundtracks, and two live albums

I still stand to be corrected though.

btw... I still love love love love love this performance, I've watched it so many times over and it's still amazing!


anyone happen to be able to point me in the right direction as to where I can get the mp3 of this :innocent

Haha I love that video~

LMFAO @ the "Wo shi Madonna" part. I loved that video, thanks for sharing it :laugh

I'll hook you up via P.M. real soon. :)

IGTTYAS has like 2 live songs on it :laugh

Yay! thanks. *looks forward to it*

Thanks to DrownedMadonna.com!

I REALLY hope she tours next year, I'm saving already.

This news sounds great! I better start saving now too because I am absolutely not missing her next tour like I did with the "Confessions Tour".

Oct/Nov album would be great.

She's gonna get hosed again for awards though like COADF did since she released it around the same time. :(

I don't know much about music awards, is it so bad to release an album late in the year? Oscar winners are almost always winter releases.

I remember COADF was released back in November and then it was going up against albums that were released right before all these different awards shows much later. Obviously the things that were up and coming were slated to do better since COADF was basically chucked to the back of the bandwagon due to the much earlier release date. This is also the US after all and a dance record is regarded much differently these days. The electronic sound usually pales in comparison to the R&B dance style.

This bit of news posted by "Immaculate" at the Madonnatribe forums is regarding the new song Annie Lennox had recorded which claims to be a duet with Madonna. Other sources have mentioned that this song actually has a number of women artists singing along on this track other than just Madonna. I guess we'll have wait and see which is the case. I hope this bit of news is accurate because it would be cool to have the two doing a duet alone together, but either way, it's awesome to know these women got together and recorded what sounds like a beautiful song. Thanks to "Immaculate" for making this known:

Just recently bought Erotica.
I'm sorry.. but this album really is not that good ._.
As with most Madonna albums, I only like most of the singles and hits, and none of the album tracks. I think all of the songs are really slow, and have that kind of "sleezy sound", and songs you would hear in a sleezy place. I know its kind of intended, but... I thought I would've been surprised.

I think the whole SEX book re why this album has so much recognization. If there was no SEX book, this album would probably not have as much recognization as it does.
Sorry if my choice of words aren't the best.

edit: Nevermind. I judge waay to quickly.

Plus, I can't get the freaking cd booklet back into the case XD
It folds so weird!

Actually, I kind of agree with the original statement. Not on all of her albums, but at least with anything prior to Ray of Light. Everything after that was pretty much gold, but before that I only liked the album tracks. Anytime I listen to Bedtime Stories, I always skip to the singles and nothing else :\

Haha, yay, I'm not alone.

I think the only album of hers, where I can actually listen to every song and not act like I'm just forcing myself to listen to it, is probably the Confessions CD.
I really love Like It Or Not, Push, and Let It Will Be :D

Meh, the original version of Music sounds sooo empty once you hear it after listening to Music Inferno all the time x_x

yes it's true. the singles are the only songs beautiful but they are AMAZING singles XD

Erotica is my favourite album ever!

my favorite are ray of light and confession on a dancefloor

frozen and hung up are amazing

My best album is American Life. Totally damn and supreme!
What's the Live Earth tracklist for Madonna?

Hey You, Ray of Light, La Isla Bonita, and Hung Up.

Don't forget you guys, tomorrow on Bravo! She's doing the closing number.

I'm having a party. :D

The London edition of the Live Earth can reserve a surprise to the fans of Madonna and Justin Timberlake. In accordance with the newspaper The Sun, the formerones and to popstar would be assaying a joint presentation in the concert that will happen in next Saturday in eight cities to the world.

According to periodical, Justin and the Timbaland producer will be presented to the side of Madonna, who will close the night of presentations of the festival in London. Still in accordance with the periodical, they intends and to show for the public new music with taken hip hop that they had produced with Madonna to the living creature.

The partnership of the three is not more secret, since the proper Timberlake admitted that it and to popstar had produced about five together musics. However, set official list of the singer includes the song Hey You, produced especially for the Live Earth, beyond the successes Ray of Light, There Isla Bonita and Hung Up.

The rumor would have started when paparazzi had photographed Justin Timberlake leaving a London studio in Notting Hill. The singer was assaying a musical presentation with Timbaland, already confirmed, for the show of Duran Duran in the Live Earth.

Heey, have any of you realized that the video of Hey You that is shown ever so often throughout the airing, is different than the original? Its like... kind of acoustic.

I really hope all of you caught Live Earth, she was flawless and the perfect choice for a closing act.

I am so proud to be an M fan right now. :yes

She did a great Show. Still the Queen of Pop

MADONNA LOUISE CICCONE is an anagram of OCCASIONAL NUDE INCOME.

:roflmao

^ :roflmao ... ha ha ha good one .... meh still 5 months till the release of her new album

Madano AkA Madonna is great...but she looks older in live earth...

She looked like the Goldfrapp chick, only a bit younger.

^ don't think so ... Alison Goldfrapp is ... how old is she anyway? ... Found nothing about her age only speculations

lol, Goldfrapp is much younger than Madonna but she looks ancient...

MADANO and Madonna are two seperate people, my dear.

^ do you have a direct link to the post where MADANO was born/named the first time ... just curious how that all began

I'm listening to "Open Your Heart" right now. I LOVE that song from her Blond Ambition Tour. They play "Angel" "Holiday" "Lucky Star" "Borderline" and some other Madge songs on the radio at my work, so my coworkers and I always sing and dance when it comes on!

Speaking of which, I have to work in 10 minutes so I'd better go.

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61051

Gishimura was pregnant, and had Madano.
Look at the poll.

^found it already and posted in his thread ... so that's the time MADANO was delivered ... funny thing

So there's finally an alleged clip out for Candy Shop (a fan leaked the lyrics recently) from the new recording sessions. The sound is really too horrible to make judgements, but I like what I hear so far.



muahaha

Woo! I don't care what it sounds like.. if it's Madge, I love it!
I like what I hear, though.

Not feeling it at all :\

YES!!!
That song sounds so hot!
This album is going to be a major hit, especially with JT and Timbaland
behind her!
But I'm going to want her to make another album like
Confessions on a Dancefloor, that's one of my favourite
albums of hers

Yikes, time to retire already.

the quality of this snippet is awfull but the song sounds really promising ... does anybody heared "It hurts"??? it's the second leaked song from her BLACKSTAR album .... I still hope that the album title is going to be changed.

I can't see Madonna retiring...ever. Like she won't quit until she's dead, which'll be in like 1000 years. xD

The clip is so short and the sound so bad, I can't really form an opinion of the song.

I hadn't heard that blackstar was supposed to be the title, I hope it's changed.

Only three months left? That would be great! If they're even considering October, things must be in good shape.

I don't usually yell but...
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS NEW ALBUM!!!

I'm so thrilled that she allegedy wants to tour again so soon. Seeing Confessions live was one of my best life memories... so I will DEFINITELY plan on going to this concert too.

Looks like she's gonan leave Warner Bros.

^that's from Perez Hilton!
I hope this is true!! <3

I love this time before an album, all the rumors and speculation. All these are probably fake but I'm sure there is still truth to some of them. Bring them on!!!

Sigh....
I don't know how much longer I can wait! Surely the album will be #1, but I'm curious to see if it will truly spawn any big hits in the U.S.!

Did anyone see THIS on Perez a few days ago?

I just lose so much respect for the woman when I hear things like this. And it isn't as if I doubt it either, considering that there are a multitude of videos as proof of her being a (insert deragatory swear word here) many times and for no apparant reason other than the fact that she's a self-righteous...

Anyways, I do like her music even if I absolutely loathe her as a person, so I'm somewhat excited for the new album. Unfortunately, I think I'm only excited to hear how different it will be. The clip for Candy Shop (way to rip off Fiddy) is no longer working, but the titles just sound like she's trying to be all ghetto fab and gang some street cred. I really don't know what to expect anymore. Confessions was great, but this is beginning to sound like a trainwreck to me.

It doesn't surprise me how she treated Perez because she does that to everyone who catches her off-guard or on her personal time. Just put yourself in Madonna's position, everyone thinks they have a right to bug her 24/7. I think someone who's been dealing with crazy fans for this long has the right to be short tempered with them.

From reports, I know that Madonna probably isn't the nicest person. However, she's not breaking the law and risking lives the way celebs who drive drunk do or setting a bad example by doing drugs in an extremely public manner. She's been an entertainer for over two decades now and some of the charm of fame has to have worn off. If I ever saw her, I'd probably be content with getting her picture from afar and not even try to be chatty. She's not the approachable type, but that's alright. Her image has never been the girl next door.

If I saw her, I don't think I would even try to approach her.
There's no excuse for her to be SO rude, though. She could easily say "Hey guys, sorry but I gotta go" instead of "HELLO AND GOODBYE."

Madge would still be eating out of dumpsters in NYC if it weren't for her fans. It's a shame that she's become so self righteous and jaded.

That said, I still have to buy the new album :P

I don't get the problem. She said both hello and goodbye and waved at them :laugh

She's always been a beeyotch (+I hate this expression but the B word is *). I'm quite glad about this actually. I thought she'd gone all soft and Kaballah world peace. BA Beeyotch (See +) is still kicking though :D

:roflmao

World peace.... maybe .....but soft??? HUH???? We are talking about the same Madonna, right?

She's is soft as ice in winter. Hard but cool. :roflmao

That Re-Invention documentary, how she was with the dancers, all scarily mother-like. At least on Truth Or Dare she sounded insane as F when she spoke about mothering the dancers.
She needs to start talking about peeing in the shower again. Good old insane Madonna, how I miss her :laugh

I definitely wouldn't approach her either, as I know she would be rude and it would ruin my already somewhat jaded image of her. I feel the same way about what you said though. Her fans keep her sales going and her famous, so she should be grateful to every single one of them. Even if she didn't want to chat it up with those fans, she could have at least used common decency.

I LOVE Truth or Dare/In Bed with Madonna ... yeah ... but as you sad it already she's more mature now than she was 10 or so years earlier ... sad but true

Let's take a trip down memory lane shall we?



This makes me double over laughing every time I watch it. :roflmao

"I'M NOT WORTHY I'M NOT WORTHY!!"

didly didly didly didly :roflmao

I love sexy materialistic Madonna. Too bad she's such a **** in person. Her music's good at least.

As reported on perezhilton.com:

It's about ****ing time MTV stepped it up! This is especially nice after that bull they said after Live Earth.

i don't think she has that right.. singers and actors know the price of fame since day 1.
and just look at kylie minogue, she's still really really kind to all her fans. one of these days a man waited for 6 hours in front of her house. she kindly went out to give him a hug...

^some are biyotches and some are not ... madonna has so many things coming up ... she's really under a lot of pressure ... if I were here I wouldn't react any different ...

bout the MTV special ... how many years is it since the last, steven? 5?? I think so...

The last thing I can think of is when they broadcasted IGTTYAS.

We already knew this, but it's nice to have official confirmation. Click on news and then august. :)

http://www.annielennox.co.uk/

^I didn't know that there are going to be that much artists involved ... great to hear that ... I'm so looking forward to that song

So they all sing on one track? That will either sound amazing or be really bad :shakehead

Madonna, Anastacia, Beth Orton, Pink and the Sugababes on the same song though ... Mega Cool :thud

28 artists alltogether ... that's going to be a big and long song ... I hope

With that many artists involved I'm sure it'll have to be a choir of some sort.

As rumor says, it will release on October 30 in this year.

Her publicist said this week that it probably won't make an October release. A late November or January release is in the works because the album is still "a work in progress."

The rumors popping up about her appearing on the Pet Shop Boys' new album "Disco 4" are true as well. The PSB remix of Sorry will be on it. This mix is so awesome! :DDDDD

From PSB official site:

I love The Pet Shop Boys so much, I can hardly wait!

There are a lot of big names slated for the end of this year -- Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, etc. I think if Madonna wants her album to be number 1, then it's obvious why she's pushing it back. Granted, Celine & Whitney may end up flopping really badly, but Madonna probably can't beat MC's sales if they are anything like TEOM/COADF. Though MC's albums always come out later than planned, so maybe the two will be in competition at some point.

Mariah Carey - 2 new albums -
Kyile - 1 new album
Celine Dion - 1 new album
Madonna - 1 new album


Oh ****.. what a year.

mc (love that) is doin 2 albums??? eww blehh

Yes, Mimi is doing 2 albums in this year, according to the interview of Entertainment Tonight in mid-2006.

Madonna's hanging out with Fiddy.



His music may be catchy and all but I really dislike that she is giving that homophobic dipshit the time of day. Personally I think he's a closet queen because nobody else would geek out over Madonna being next door like that.

Some bad news...

(c) madonna tribe

well ... that was not unexpected but still sad.

I'm hoping there won't be a Madonna/50 Cent duet.

Nov/Jan isn't bad. At least it's going to be a winter album, not spring '08.

Timbaland Talks About His And Justin Timberlake's 'Hot' Collabo With Madonna

Whoa. I can't remember a song called Ugly, but that sounds pretty crazy. Hopefully the good kind of crazy.

The instrumental hook in Ugly is pretty memorable and it sticks in your head. I'm thinking it's gonna be pretty hot! :D

I just can't wait to hear all this, it's driving me nuts!

I don't usually go crazy over megamixes, but this Britney vs. Madonna one is pretty well done. They could have gone a bit easier on the pitch control in a few places though. Just thought I'd share.

Those track names...hmmm

Love the new Dita set Rik! :heart

Thanks for sharing that video Vinylfantasy, it reminded me of how awesome Britney Spears use to be and how much more Madonna still kicks ass haha.

the toxic and hung up remix is great ... who did that remix????

The fan said they mixed everything in the description so I'm assuming they did.

dunno my fav mix up was that spice girls/BS and madonna megamix


tho the one thing that STILL bugs me is that the Orignal version of the American Life PV is banned! its so much better than the "edited" version... the original version is yawnsvile

I'd like to wish Rocco a very happy BIRTHDAY! The little guy turns seven today, he's growing up so fast!

I think the lyrics are real, because the same person also posted Candy Shop's lyrics.

The Beat Goes On - Madonna & Pharrell

HOT HOT HOT!
