Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 19, 2011 Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 I posted this in the What Are You Listening To? thread, but Beth Ditto's new video is both a tribute and parody of Madonna's Justify My Love video. Love it. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UECeJzd-G30" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 I just hope she doesn't end up doing Lady Gaga the Madonna way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Adam Posted February 19, 2011 Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 She can get her back by ripping off Bad Romance But, I agree.... dance is definitely the way to go for her since it is her home genre really and it has brought her the most success, lets just hope she is "creating" this time and not following.

Members Sylph Posted February 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 Have you ever met her, Y&RWorldTurner? Talked to her for five seconds or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 19, 2011 Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 No, the closest I ever got to her was when she gave a performance at a record shop in NYC in 2003 when promoting American Life. Never actually went up to her though, and would never know what to say having followed her since childhood. I have met people who have worked with her though...

Members Sylph Posted February 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yeah... I guess it would be totally different if it were something more spontaneous. This how, when you have like 30 seconds to tell her something, and you think she's heard it all, it can get a bit confusing. You're just blocked.

Members bellcurve Posted February 19, 2011 Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 Oh that was when she was doing the acoustic set to promote her album! In one of those performances, I heard she forgot the words to Like a Virgin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 19, 2011 Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yeah, she wasn't planning on singing Like A Virgin, but relented when one fan requested it and then everyone else started to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted February 19, 2011 Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 LOL. It was on Access Hollywood or something. I remember she had the guitar and she played and forgot the words. I see how out of sight, out of mind she wants that song to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 19, 2011 Members Share Posted February 19, 2011 You know, I want a more introspective album from her again. Like A Prayer and Ray of Light are both dear to my heart, and one of the reasons why was because she was vulnerable on both albums and they represented who she is and where she was in her life. They were both a result of some very tumultuous years/experiences in her life and you could tell how creatively inspired she was during those respective periods of her career. Don't get me wrong, I love dance Madonna and at her core, her heart and music has always been dance, but I feel like we already had a big dance album with Confession On A Dancefloor in the last decade, and it would be a great time for her to go in a more personal and reflective route again. Like A Prayer and Ray of Light both happened after lengthy gaps in her pop career too, and her next album will probably be her biggest gap between albums.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 24, 2011 Members Share Posted February 24, 2011 She has claimed a rock album before and it never happens. Isn't she also working with RedOne (which proves that like her last album with Timbaland, she's fallen behind the curve in terms of who she works with--Hard Candy was essentially the swan song in terms of Timbaland having songs and albums that were hits even if it only had one big single). But is RedOne an "unknown" producer? LOL At any rate now that dance music is finally a hit again on US radio, it's prob a smart move (and what Madonna does best anyway). I could see her at this stage wanting to do a more "personal" album--though that was the impetus for American Life as well... But then she embraced it again for one of the best parts of her last great tour, the Confessions one. I love Confessions on the Dance Floor but despite what Madonna claimed, I think it IS an introspective album (and is let down by some of her typically too "teenaged diary" cloying lyrics). Hung Up was a trick, as it is the ONLY song on the album (well maybe Sorry too?) that doesn't address personal issues with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
