Thanks for the links. We're going to need q back in here to embed ;)

30 minutes in. Great stuff.

I was going to say this is back when VH1 used to focus on music but saw they were doing a C. Aguilera BTM edition earlier tonite - from 2010, but all the same.

Erotica has a ton of great stuff--I usually prefer the original versions. It's interesting because it and Vogue before sorta marked the change in remixers when they went from constructing longer club mixes for songs that still sounded the same, and moved to re-inventing the song completely. I always loved Bye Bye Baby, though I am hardly shocked it wasn't a hit as a single.

A highlight for me still is the performance of Why's It So Hard at Girlie Show after the orgy scene (which again, hardly seems more shocking now than many music videos)

The leather suit and bondage (chains represent bondage, correct?) takes me back to one of Madonna's other responses to the Sex (Erotica/JML/BoE) controversy.

Looks like there was a listening party in Los Angeles yesterday. So these are the statewide reviews and they're still rather good...

Never heard that one before.

When my niece was 2-3 (she was born in 1995), this was her jam. I had bought the CD single and she'd use my CD player and play this over and over. (She ruined that CD). In her pampers, she'd just hum and spin, hum and spin. Too cute. If only YouTube was around back then she'd have been immortalized and embarassed.

She was sort of like the boy here but with more balance and passion (and just the pamper), lol.

"Give Me All Your Luvin" apparently has hit #1 on Billboards Dance/Club Play Charts. I guess in the listing that will come out on Monday. This marks Madonna's 41st #1 on the dance charts. This extends her all-time lead in this category. She's followed (Top 10 All-Time) by Janet Jackson (19), Beyonce (17), Rihanna (17), Donna Summer (16), Kristine W (16), Mariah Carey (15), Whitney Houston (13), Lady Gaga (12), Debroah Cox (11) and Jennifer Lopez (11). Very female dominated chart.

I totally forgot DCFMA was a dance club hit until I saw this list and the remix came back to me. I think Madonna should also get credit for Junior Vasquez's "If Madonna Calls (I'm Not Here)" although I don't think she wants that particular credit. She cancelled her attendance last minute for some party for him and he was pissed. Then he made this song in response and she was pissed (and has apparently never talked to him again, and is on his behind for remixes of her tunes he puts out). I remember the period this was on the NY radio stations all the time. I had thought she contributed the lines to a track and didn't realize it was an actual message and "slam" tune at the time...

Junior also went on to unofficially remix some of her songs, which pissed her off more, since he wasn't commissioned to do so.

Madonna has never forgotten her club roots, no matter where she's gone and what she's experimented with musically. It's part of the reason why she dominates this particular area.

The Dance/Club Play Chart is very diva focused, since a lot of the club culture in America is largely dominated by the gay community.

Still one of my favorites of Madonna's...remix versions that is...I remember looking for this song in stories....and finally finding it in a maxi cd single...just love this remix.....the original version was just too slow and boring for me

No commission because of his very public response to her party cancellation.

Eric, you're dismissing the list "because even [your] Kylie can chart?" Hee, tough love wink.png Kylie's only had a little over a handful of #1's (DCP) in her 25 year career despite being able to consistently chart in dance.

I wouldn't dismiss the list for two reasons, one, because that Top 10 All-Time is filled with some of pop, dance and disco's biggest names ever. Though to your point there's one chick there that I have never heard of but I barely know who Kylie Minogue is either except for that song from the 80s (Locamotion) and that other one (Can't Get You Out of My Mind). And, two, some very popular singers have had minimal success in the Hot 100 and much success on the various Dance charts and vice versa (much success in Hot 100 and little love in Dance).

But do you really think they would have been able to repair it after the song IF he just didn't do the remixes (and/or asked to do them)? Or did the remixing issues start even before "If Madonna Calls"?

Soapsuds, the poster disallowed embedding sad.png Did she have any other release in the U.S. that came close to the two I mentioned? I SHould Be So Lucky is one? I remember the two I mentioned well (Can't Get You Out Of My Mind went on and on and on ON the dance music stations), any other I'd have to hear to jog my memory.

ETA:

My lazy ass went to YouTube, no - I don't have any memory of it. In the 80s it was Madonna, Michael, Prince, Whitney, George, Cyndi, Annie, Boy George, Paula and Bonnie for me.

Locomotion I do remember.

    • I think a lot would've gotten over it the same way they got over the Trina recast, especially since it became swiftly clear NAC is never coming back. The key issue, we agree, is Frank. As long as Trina is onscreen he's not touching that. As for Nikolas, honestly I'd kill him off. Adam Huss has done a wonderful job in a very difficult situation but I don't think he has leading man power for a soap opera (not because he's gay, but he's very intense and I don't think it translates to potential lighter or romantic material; his flirting with Ava briefly was strange) and I was holding out for Tyler to recover and return someday. I am not interested in Nikolas #5 or 6.
    • AlwaysAMC - Your posts are a crack up; they make me laugh.  Thanks.  I especially like how detailed you get enthused about something, and how you curtly and flippantly you reject that which you find subpar.  LOL.   What's great about Annie is her increasing rooting value as time goes on.   I often wanted Annie to be victorious.  Watros infuses her with an energy and a vulnerability that really works, even at times when neither should. Soap viewers often remember and talk about the Big Moments, which is fine, but what I also find really interesting is the 1-2 week time frame that follows the Big Moment.  Later, there are scenes between Annie and Rick involving a trip to the hospital (no way am I telling you why and what happens - hopefully no one does) that I think are as well done as the Big Moment.  Astonishing stuff. Oh..and to reiterate...I ain't telling you sh*t.  You'll just have to suffer!  Ain't anticipation grand?  LOL.
    • @alwaysAMC Glad you made it to the soft rock theme. I share your disgust for the Gilly story, as many viewers did. Gilly was never a big character, but she was a part of why the early '90s feel real and different for GL, and she deserved a much better exit. This was also the last worthwhile role Amelia Marshall had on daytime (I don't even know if Passions fans would disagree). This was also Petronia Paley's only major chance at story and as someone who always appreciated her work, I'm sorry it did not go better for her. And I liked Charles Ewing a great deal on Loving, so I was even more unhappy with how they treated Griffin. It's a deeply offensive role, in many ways.  As for slapping, you may enjoy this, if you are able to find anything onscreen underneath all the ham. It really goes into hysteria in the second clip. As a bonus, you also get a quick glimpse of why the Billy and Mindy recasts were not accepted by viewers. One positive I will say about this clip is that it's one of the few times I remember the show making clear that Roger was able to defend himself if he had to do so.

    • ER Season 15 (first-ish time) BUFFY Season 3 (First time)
    • Probably less than a NBC or ABC soap. There were occasionally slaps. Women slapped men. And parents occasionally slapped their children. There was a period when Mindy and Roxie would fight. But slaps between women were few and far between. The only one between women I can really recall is Vanessa slapping Nadine. There was once where Bea Reardon almost slapped Vanessa, but she didn't. There are probably more, but in general, I always thought CBS soaps (aside from B&B, which used to love Stephanie slapping Brooke) shied away slapping, sort of the way they limited "hell"s and "damn"s to so many per week.

      My favorite moments are with Erika and then Robin and Tim Stickney around 7/8 minutes. There are also little yellow bumper moments with the crew, which I enjoy more than the real ones.  There's also a music video at the end to I Will Survive, with Linda Dano and JFP having a cameo (they certainly do know how to survive). Also a fun bit with a frazzled crew member showing cards with the names of every EP she presumably worked for at the show.
    • I think in the long run they can probably get more out of Gio, even though I know GM probably won't be around long enough for it to matter. The show has a real problem on how to handle Nik in future, which affected Spencer. Laura is moribund and her role in Spencer's story didn't do her many favors. They would have kept Esme around even longer. A lot of Sprina fans would have hated GM as he was replacing NAC. And even the fans who did accept him wouldn't have mattered because Frank likely would have split that relationship up ASAP. There's a good chance we'd get a Spencer/Emma pairing, only with Emma and the actress playing her getting dragged on social media every day and with people calling her a racist.
    • I like the pool set as well.  It's something different, guys and girls in skimpy clothes and all that.  I dislike when they have characters in full on business attire having meetings there though.  That seems silly. The pool depth is also ridiculous.  They should just have characters sitting on the side with their feet in the pool if they can't shoot it correctly.
    • I also assumed Tanquir was in Africa. Montega was in the Caribbean, more like Cuba.
