Candy Shop

Hopefully, I did this right. If so, what do you guys think of it? This upcoming album is going to be a little bit on the R&B side which I think has been done before when she released her Bedtime Stories album back in 1994. I like the song and feel that it has a nice kick to it! :)

I'm probably the biggest Madonna fan out there, but I HATE that's she's going for a more urban sounding album. Granted R&B vibes were evident on her debut album. However, I find Timbaland and The Neptunes to be the most overrated producers in the business and I never cared for anything they've produced. I HATED 1994's Bedtime Story album as well, it's by far her most inconsistent album and is probably (along with Like A Virgin and Erotica) her most dated album to date.

I love you Maddy, but I'm not too excited for the new album, I really wish she'd do another organic pop/rock album like 1989's Like A Prayer, which by far is her most acclaimed album. Anyway, I'll of course buy the new album the day it's released, because I'll support the woman no matter what.

I find that her fans generally don't like R&B or rap. It's like some sort of culture divide that starts at her door. Surprising? Not by a long shot. If it's anything like Bedtime Stories, it will be a creative asset to her discography. That album was nominated for a Grammy. The chorus of Candy Shop nicely gives her voice a sass that most of her melodies don't allow for.

I'm one of those Madonna fans who are critical at first whenever a new album of hers comes out because I always liked what she did before. I think the album that changd her most was Ray of Light. When I heard Frozen, it took me quite sometime to get use to her work especially with William Orbit producing the album. I have his Pieces in a Modern Style and found the album to be quite the snoozer! Actually, come to think of it, I did play that album whenever I had trouble falling asleep and it helped. But, after listening to Madonna's Ray of Light in its entirety, I enjoyed it! Then came her Music album and I wished she was still in her Ray of Light phase, but then, I loved that album too! American Life sucked big time and it's definately one of those albums that I hardly ever listen to except for her remixes of Hollywood and Nothing Fails, but I still have that album because I love her so...

Confessions On A Dance Floor was awesome, but I don't expect Madonna to keep doing dance albums all the time, ya know? I'm a Bjork fan too, and every album that Bjork puts out there, I know it's going to be different. And it is.

I'm really looking forward to this album and I'll pimp it up that's for sure! ;):lol:

Its different like every Madonna project. I like it and am as always looking forward to her upcoming album.....

She really hasn't had a miss with me ever.... I thought American Life was decent too even though commercially it bombed. If it were relased today I think it would have done alot better.

ITA.

Best thing about a new Madonna album: a concert tour on the horizon... *waiting to order tickets* LOL!

That said; I'm not that much into Madge's new style. I guess the album will form a strong unit and hold itself together but I can't see it ranking very high in the end compared to her other albums - at least for me.

Candyshop sounds ok. Maybe the other songs will have me raving in the end - who knows? A new album is always a journey - and that Madonna daring is what makes her so successfull. Well, as long as she stays away from films. LOL! Her documentary cirtically more or less bombed at Berlinale but at least she looked absolutely stunning and diva-ish at it.

I'm a massive Madonna fan--have over 80 cds (most of the singles) paid way too much to travel to San Jose to see her twice last tour, etc... But I'm SOO underhelmed by EVERYTHING about this project, from collaborators, song titles, the two leaked "demos" everything. BUT I'll give it a chance of course

Candyshop is planned to be on the album but isn't the first, or even a single it seems (thank god)

(and yes I largely love American Life).

I hope her tour doesn't follow a similarly R&B done vibe..

    • -- "The role of Ted Richardson is now being played by...." I love that throwback to soaps from yesteryear. I know we don't want BTG to be our grandmother's soap, but sometimes Grandma's soaps had it right. -- I was FULLY prepared to dislike Keith D. Robinson as Ted, and I even went through things in my mind that I could say because I was fine with Maurice Johnson and felt bad for him.     However, Robinson was awfully good, especially for Day 1. He's a different Ted, but he's a good actor -- natural and real. People saying Gates "should have gone older" are head-scratchers since Robinson is older than Johnson. -- I expected Bill to be tougher than he was with Dana, THE worst mother of the year on soaps. -- Kat went toe-to-toe in those scenes with Dana. We're all in love with Ambyr/Eva, but Colby/Kat is also killing it. -- Derek and Ashley? I'm turning on Ashley, who can't even pretend to like Derek, let alone love him. Her annoyance with him is overboard, and I'm also annoyed with the show portraying Derek as a Neanderthal -- to the point of putting "Neanderthal" in his dialogue. Every single thing he does annoys Ashley, which makes me wonder what she ever saw in him. I want him away from her. -- Seeing Derek and Ashley in that bed was hilarious. It looks like a single, not something for two grown adults. -- Ashley and Andre are still a no for me -- a big no. I see no reason why he'd be infatuated with her. None. At least Andre got a smile from her, which she didn't have for Derek, even when he wanted them to get a bigger place. Derek, please dodge the bullet.
    •   I LOVED Hennig’s Stephanie. AK is Stephanie in name only. Stephanie was never boring to me.
    • July 2012, Abe organized a gala that was an autism fundraiser in Lexie's honor.  This was the huge event everyone was attending (except Gabi and Melanie in the tunnels).. -- when the gas explosion occurred and the building collapsed.  The "Daysaster" cliffhanger before the Olympics break.
    • I think maybe Andre is subconsciously looking for a caretaker/nurturer in his life to replace his parents. That would explain his attraction to both Ashley (nurse) and Dani (older woman/his aunt's sister). I don't see any chemistry between Ashley and Andre though. In fact Andre and Derek had more chemistry in the pasta night episode than either of them have ever had with Ashley.
    • My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
    • a) you would not be sorry, but  b) full episodes from the first half of '89 are hard to find. 
    • Ya see..., that's why I can't watch this show on my own!

      I'm ripping it for being dumb, meanwhile half the episode goes over my head.  Hello pot, I'm kettle.
    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
    • I am fine with no one mentioning Bob-ette again.  It's frustrating not ever knowing what was up with him truly or why we wasted so much time on that to never get a conclusion.  I am willing to forget it though. Abe being on the board makes more sense to me because of Lexie and Theo.  I think there was a wing dedicated to Autism research or treatment years ago possibly named after Theo and Lexie was the chief of staff at some points and worked there for years.  I could see Abe having interest in the hospital still.
    • TR eventually came to be a nickname for Theresa Regina, the name her kidnappers gave her. Estelle never referred to her as Rebecca, though, always Theresa. I guess that was what TR wanted.    TR went to Switzerland. Jane returned for the last week.  After Ryder died, TR never had a love interest. I assume they gave up. I wouldn’t have dropped John Loprieno as Danny but he got squeezed out by Quinn, really. A TR/Evie/Jerry triangle might’ve worked.    David Forsyth and Jackie Schultz had good chemistry. I liked Luann though. I think Sharon Gabet would’ve been a more interesting recast, and she might’ve kept Joe Lambie on as Lloyd.    But Suzi and Wendy were gone, and Liza was talking about leaving town to join Gary in Africa, so before the cancellation, I do believe Liza was getting phased out.  Sunny and Patti and Evie were set up as heroines, and it was a small show.
