BuzzJack Music Forum _ Madonna _ Ultimate Madonna Rate ● 10s
Posted by: HausofTove 31st July 2019, 06:39 PM
Hello all and welcome to, quite simply, the biggest undertaking this forum (or perhaps any artist forum on this site) has ever done.
Over the course of the next few months, we will be conducting the Ultimate Madonna Rate. "But we've done this before!!1" you might say... not like this 
In the past we have held 80s singles rates, rates for all of her singles across the years but never have we rated every single song that Madonna has released.. until now!
In order to make this mammoth task feasible, we have decided to separate her huge, decade-spanning career into sections, ending here with the 10s. Below is every song released by Madonna in the 10s. Rate them. One 11, one -1. Simple ~
Once complete we will be eventually presenting every single song as rated by you.

Gang Bang
I'm Addicted
Turn Up The Radio
Give Me All Your Luvin'
Some Girls

I feel like this rate is going to have the most wildly erratic scores 
Remember songs from all 4 threads will be put together in a final Ultimate Madonna rate results, so vote in comparison to the other eras, not just the songs in this thread (if that makes sense).

I've done my MDNA rate and I surprised myself at how decently I've scored it. It gets generally better as the album goes on, particularly when it comes to the deluxe tracks which (aside from 'B-Day Song') should have been on the main edition. I think a more considered tracking list and alterations to the mastering and vocals then the album would be much better overall. As it stands, it's an album where I just have to cherry-pick the best songs and listen to them that way.
Posted by: HausofTove 1st August 2019, 04:14 PM
I don't think mine will be too low either. Don't get me wrong - it has some major lowpoints but there are also a fair few enjoyable tracks so I suspect it'll be a rate of two halves.

My 11 was either Love Spent or Ghosttown
Posted by: Medellíam 1st August 2019, 05:57 PM
For me there's a lack of big highlights but I've got so many 8/10 tracks, a lot of which could be higher it post-production was better. Even the low moments have the fact they are pretty catchy working in their favour.

NOOOO those brutal scores for MDNA and Rebel Heart omg.
Girl Gone Wild, Gang Bang and especially Ghosttown deserved more!

Girl Gone Wild, Gang Bang and especially Ghosttown deserved more!
I think Britney Jean is the only pop girl album that has MDNA beat as the worst of the decade — it's a tough competition.
My issue with Girl Gone Wild has always been how faceless and regressive it is — I wouldn't have ever bothered with it if it wasn't Madonna. Gang Bang at least attempted to include some personality on an album that desperately needed some, but the production is a mess and that dubstep section was unforgivable then and even more so now.
The vocal production on Ghostown has always killed that song for me, but it's nice enough.
Posted by: Medellíam 2nd August 2019, 12:13 PM
I've found it hard to rate 'Girl Gone Wild' as one minute I think it's alright and the next I think it's trash. It can be a bit of a guilty pleasure, certainly falling under the "basic bop" category as I know the production is bad but there's something kinda catchy about it. The lyrics are always absolutely unforgivable though.
I feel like I wouldn't try as much to like it if the video hadn't been her second best this decade (pre-Madame X).

WHAT HOW DID I MISS OUT QUEEN!? One of the best on Rebel Heart - PLEASE EDIT IN SCORES FOR IT IF YOU'VE VOTED ALREADY x
Posted by: HausofTove 6th August 2019, 12:17 PM
PMs sent to those that have voted so far - please edit in scores for Queen so we can have a fair representation in the final results. 
Posted by: dandy* 6th August 2019, 12:21 PM
TBH I only noticed as I was listening to the albums again today to inform my voting
Posted by: HausofTove 6th August 2019, 12:23 PM
Thanks for altering me. If not - the entire CONCEPT OF THESE RATES would've been null and void 
Disaster averted, we are still on for counting down every song she's ever done 
Posted by: Liаm 6th August 2019, 12:26 PM
I've added in Queen too
Posted by: Medellíam 6th August 2019, 12:35 PM
Queen was never released. 
It's just a demo.
Posted by: blacksquare 6th August 2019, 12:36 PM
I have included Queen.
Am I the only one who really enjoys this? It's one of her better basic bops on Rebel Heart.
Posted by: HausofTove 6th August 2019, 12:39 PM
It's just a demo.And WHAT a demo!
I like Beautiful Scars! I've been fairly harsh on my scores because I'm comparing it to her masterpiece albums and songs and compared to them I've had to lower my scores for some tracks slightly.
Posted by: Medellíam 6th August 2019, 12:43 PM
I'm a Beautiful Scars fan too. I like her soft vocal and I think she should have explored this vulnerability more on the album.

Oh — I haven’t been doing that, haha. MDNA would be on an entire 0 if so, and Rebel Heart not much better. Such a hater.
Posted by: Medellíam 6th August 2019, 05:32 PM
'Queen' is so basic. I don't understand the love for it.

Me seeing some of these high marks for MDNA...
I now have an even greater understanding of why she's such a music legend.
