The Official Madonna Thread Part II
 

First non-Asian artist to get a second thread! Yay, go M!

SHE'S THE QUEEN FOR A REASON FOLKS! :laugh

Figured I'd start it out with some lulz.

Frozen "cover"

Yay, Madonna! I'm happy her thread has been so active. I hope Part II will soon be full of news of her next album. :)

I have a feeling that the new ICON digital magazine will have some info on it, so we'll see. The staff over there are dragging their feet so I dunno when we'll be getting it.

Even more Ariake photos!

Yay for the new Madonna thread!!! Looking forward to all of things Madonna :)

like the second ^^

Ariake! Those pictures never cease to amaze me.

The Ariake photos look great. I hope there's going to be more of them.

Nice pictures!

ICON revealed the welcome package for 2007. I'm so stoked to get mine! The t-shirt is pretty sweet.

www.iconmadonna.com

The welcome package is on the front page.

Speaking of t-shirts look at madonna.com! You can make your own!

****, there goes all my money... :laugh I'm gonna make a ton!

Yikes! The shirt says "Madonna <3 Iconer's".....
it should be "Iconers" with no apostrophe :(
I love Madge and it's just a simple mistake but I'm sad for some reason.

AND I still haven't even gotten my 2006 Icon magazine!

You should get ahold of ICON customer service. There are quite a few people that didn't get theirs but eventually did after bugging the admins about it.

Here's the tee shirt I made!

I plan on making another one with boy toy on the front with some stuff behind it and then spank me on the back. This is just too fun! :laugh

M was listed as the third in the MSN music list "Mom's Who Rock." I love the picture they used, she indeed rocks.

Here's a link to the article.

How the hell Britney got in the top ten is beyond me.

The T-shirt looks great! Very stylish.

Taken from Madonna.com

WOOHOO!

There were pictures of her on DrownedMadonna the other day looking for lapdancers for the film but I didn't post it cause I figured it wasn't relevant to anything we knew about yet.

Watched this again today just for lulz. It's pretty old, but it's also really cute and funny.

HaHa, loves it!

Yes, i'm captain Kirk... :roflmao

What are you people wearing my clothes for?! :roflmao

People like Jim the sound guy. *points*

what is Ariake ? something japanese but what ?

It's like a hotel complex. Here's their site.

Also from DrownedMadonna
I hope it's not what we are getting in the digital magazine at ICON, that would be lame.

This was also on Perez.

Ehh, just stick to production JT. Thanks.

Madonna has a new song with Pharrell. It's called "Hey You" and will be a Microsoft-branded Live Earth charity download.

This is from a reliable source! I can't wait to hear it, this is so awesome!

this is totally off topic but Marty is a real cutie.

Speaking of Marty, they fixed the ICON shirts. They no longer have the apostrophe.

I knew Madge wouldn't let me down! She is the queen of the world, after all. She would never let such a silly mistake go uncorrected.

More info on the queen of the world's new song coming out next week! :D:D Ahh I'm so excited! I just don't know what to do with myself!

Mid tempo, I like that, and I'm happy that it's not a duet (Madonna doesn't need vocal guest stars on her songs).

I hope it doesn't turn out to be another "History." That would really disappoint me.

I listen to History quite often. I block out the lyrics and focus on the music (also my I Love New York/Super Pop approach).

More info on Filth & Wisdom thanks to MadonnaTribe!

Thanks to DrownedMadonna

There's a LQ leak of part of Hey You here.



I'm glad we're finally getting a ballad from M. I'm not floored by the preview but I'll wait until the full version comes out till I judge it. If it turns out to be ****** I think I'll forgive her, it is for charity after all.

Download Hey You here:

http://liveearth.msn.com/green/Madon...?wa=wsignin1.0

HURRY GUYS! THE FIRST MILLION DOWNLOADS ARE FREE!

I love the song! It's very simple but very beautiful.

I dled "Hey You". it's for a good cause, but I didn't like the song tho.

I'm curious about to which musical direction her next album is heading to. Hey You didn't sound like the usual production by Pharrel

I think the song is okay. I don't really like it that much but I certainly don't detest it either. I am sure that she just squeezed out this track for charity and her new album won't be like Hey You. I honestly can't see a whole album of tracks that sound like The Little Drummer Boy.

Yes, I don't think she spent much time on it. It's pretty meh for a Madonna song, but at least I was fast enough to download it for free.

:( I'm sad that other people don't like it so much. I've been totally obsessed with it! Oh well.. we do have the new album to look forward to also.

The song itself isn't that bad, it's mostly the chanting part that gets to me. I can't wait to hear the rest of her new material! :D

The song is'nt bad but yeah, not a super fan of it... still pretty cool though.

What the hell was she trying to do with her voice before the chanting?

Oh well, I hated History and now this, so with the age old 'third time lucky' mantra I'm bound to love her next work.

LOVED Hey You! Wonderful song ^_^

The first ICON digital mag is out! It's amazing!!!!! It has all these cool articles about Malawi, H&M, Confessions Tour, Arthur and the Invisibles, and a bunch of other stuff! There's even a video message that she recorded just for us as well as the unreleased videos for Get Together, Jump (Jacque Lu Cont Remix), and Music Inferno live in London. I'm over the moon right now! :D:D

Oh M, you so funny! :laugh

^LMFGDAOROTFPMSOMG what is that from?

It's from her MTV 10th anniversary.

That's a great video! :)

I didn't expect I would still be able to download the song from the official source, but there it was :P Pretty basic song, it's kinda nice.

So what does everyone think of "Hey You" now that it is out for free download on MSN?

I was kind of expecting something more... well it isn't my favorite track but I guess it's decent. I was surprised at how simple the song was considering it was Madonna x Pharrell. I hope this isn't what the new album sounds like but I have faith the rest of the new tracks are superb.

I don't think the album will sound like this, I doubt this song will even be on it. Hey You has grown on me a lot, apart from the chanting I like it more than I used to.

that was an awesome video, i found my mums old madonna cds last night and a few of them were japan editions and the cases are soo thick and strong :o

Hopefully there is some new remixes on it, not just all the stuff we've already heard. I'll bet there will be because remember when Felix The Housecat said he was working with her on an upcoming project?

-------------

Also, Hey You is on iTunes now. Buy it and help it chart, it's only a dollar! I think it's a higher quality version than the free one too.

LOL I love this one: A young girl with eyes like potatoes.

I always say "I've got Jew under my skin" when I listen to Love Profusion! :laugh

^LOL

I love distorting lyrics LOL Madonna does have a pretty good voice though, as I can understand most of what she says clearly in the songs.

A remix album is about the only Best Of I'd be interested in. I hope they choose good songs.

The second wave of Ariake promotion is out, here's the new CM.

For those of you that have not seen the Confessions Tour yet or want it for your iPods, it's only TWO DOLLARS on the iTunes store. What a steal!

I'd like it if the look Madonna chose for the next album was similar to the relatively simple, classy H&M/Ariake style.

Here's some gorgeous clips from the directors cut of Paradise (Not For Me) video that just leaked. I love the Paradise video, it's one of my favorite tour clips. I wish they would have been included in the final cut, maybe we'll get to see the whole director's cut in full someday.



After watching the last part I lol'ed hard.

I wanna smack Madge when she speaks with her fake British accent. We all know she does it consciously :laugh

At times I really don't know what to believe. Sometimes I think she fakes it but other times I take account of the fact that when you live in another part of the world for an extended period of time the way you speak changes. Who knows?

Well, the British accent kicks ass compared to all the rest... so refined, sophisticated, and that element of power and hierarchy that goes along with it... not to mention it sounds so hot!!

I do the same thing as her... I always go along faking there accent... then again, it's easy for Australians.... It sounds funny when Madonna does it but I love her for trying, lolz.

Die Another Day RIT screen leaked in full.

thanks ... but ... RIT???

RIT=Reinvention Tour

A bunch of RIT backdrops leaked about 8 months ago, figured I'd share them since the Die Another Day one came out recently.

Hollywood


I'm So Stupid


Nobody Knows Me


Vogue

me so stupid ... hopefully the whole concert is going to be released someday ... I'll never give the hope up that this is going to happen

Look what arrived today :D woooooo im so exicted about it!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...r/P8200687.jpg

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...r/P8200689.jpg

Madonna actually touched and signed this :D

never open or touch it again ... you have to keep everything her whole dna on it mustn't destroy it. that's why i didn't opened my sex book.
it's not signed by her or something like that but, you know. as a collector you don't do such things. lol

Lucky fan. :)

Very cool :D Her autograph is interesting.

haha i cant stop looking at it, still cant believe how cheap it was!

Amazon.com are having a sale and from $150 it's only $30 and $12 shipping to the UK :D i paid £22 how fooking cheap is that!

I really was tempted to get it since it went on sale but sadly I'm not much of a collector fan. I'd probably never read them again, especially since I have the audio versions and sure as hell ain't having kids.

See the Sex book is different, I have two. One opened and one sealed. :D

Does that make me a bad person? :laugh

Laura Pausini - La Isla Bonita live cover

On today's Oprah Winfrey Show, they talked about the July special issue of Vanity Fair which will have 20 different covers shot by photographer Annie Liebovitz.

They showed several covers featuring celebrities and politicians involved with Africa. Among them, they showed two covers with Madonna.

http://www.vanityfair.com/images/pol...ecover0707.jpg

If you are from foreign country, you can pre-order the magazine at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/magazines/b/?n...;tag=vanfai-20

Madonna is on the covers #10 and #11.

Maya Angelou and Djimon Hounsou? She's lucky she got great cover partners.

I don't care much for Laura Pausini, but though the file quality is bad that cover sounds nice enough.

I've seen all of the covers and they all look great, well I'm not too big of a fan of President Bush but other than that the covers look amazing.

Im not even going to read the books haha!!

You have 2 Sex Books? :o Im well jelous! Ive not been able to find one yet :(

wow, im soooo jeolous!~ nice covers

hey, does anyone know much about the 25th anniversary box set? Will the three cds contain most of her biggest songs (Like a Virgin, Lucky Star, etc)? And will the 2 DVDs contain all/most of her music videos? Im just wondering, cuz im really interested in buying this...

There's not really much info out on it yet, what I've posted about it is all we know. I'll definitely keep you updated as we get new information. :D

My favorite picture from the shots on the set of Filth & Wisom:

http://www.madonnalicious.com/images...0607_page1.jpg

She's just so hot!

Check out Regina Spektor's beautiful take on Love Profusion.

I found my future lover!

Yum!

Geez, that's SO narcissistic.

Yeah, but SO relevant! :laugh

wow that made me high, 7.5 inches high :(

I don'T know bout the others but for me .... yeah .. no ... joking ... I'll plan on buying a second to... watching the pictures on the pic isn't the same

okay ... I can't stand up right now but I'm applauding right now ... OMG he's so freaking hot ... I wanna eat ice cream from his body ... those eyes and that smile ... killer

she usually has great remixes. :D

Get Together (Tony Moran Mix)
one of my favourite madonna rmxes. :D

has anyone here got a decent quality of the bedtime story video she used for the reinvention tour? the one where shes on a mirror and with the white horse...

she's not only the queen of pop als the queen of remixes

My favorite single for remixes is probably the Hollywood single. They're top notch, buy it if you can! :yes

There isn't one in full but the designers that did it have part of it in high quality to stream on their site. They do the video for a lot of her recent tours. It's a pretty cool page!

Official Hey You video.



Some of the footage made me lol, especially the chickens part.

Awww I wish M was actually in the video, but she's probably too busy.

well nothing less expected from the hey you video ... it's good video and brings the message from the song right to on the point but for a madge pv it's pretty boring sorry vinyl ... about the site you mentioned posts before ... the one with the videos made by the designers ... wooow hot ricky martin video ...

Here's the alternate directors cut of American Life, not for the faint of heart.



This is why I love this woman. :yes

^ it had even the fcuk part in it ... I saw the same version a while ago but the fcuk part and the part with "the finger" was censored but everything else was the same. I wasn't sure about posting it here but you already did it. Do you have a HQ version of that. Like .vob HQ or just HQ. wanted to use some stills for a wallpaper for a friend of mine who is obsessed with this song and video. BTW, cool sig you servin' it. gg

Are you sure it wasn't the directors cut where Bush catches the grenade in the end? Lemme check through my backup DVDs and see if I have a HQ version. I'll let ya know :D If not, you can always take some screenshots from I'm Going To Tell You A Secret.

Oh wow! I love the Tony Moran mix. I wish there were an mp3 of it, but there isn't on the iTunes store at least.

^ i think its a bootleg/unofficial mix. shame coz its my fav mix of get together.

^at vinyl dunno about the grenade but the rest was pretty much the same ... I saw it on german TV ... I think ... well it was a while ago ... History of Madonna Videos ... or something like that was the show called ... it would be very appreciated if you could upload this video for me

i heard Hey You on the radio yesterday! i love it! It's up there on my list of favorite Madonna songs with Live to Tell and Jump!
