March 6, 20169 yr Author 'I'm Addicted' is the clear lead single for me. There's a handful of potentially good singles on the album but that is the only one that is killer enough to lead the album.
March 7, 20169 yr I'll try and do a full set later but I totally agree that I'm Addicted would have been the perfect lead single for MDNA. It's such an incredible riot and that outro is everything. *.*
March 29, 20169 yr I've decided to do a full consideration of this. Songs in RED I would not have released as a single, songs in BLUE are additions. Everybody Burning Up Holiday Lucky Star Borderline ^ I don't think i'd touch this era. She really milked it and it's the ORIGINAL one so it obviously worked. Like A Virgin Material Girl Crazy For You Angel I'd have had 'Over and Over' or 'Stay' instead of this. Into The Groove Dress You Up Live To Tell Papa Don't Preach True Blue Open Your Heart La Isla Bonita ^ the PERFECT era in terms of singles. Like A Prayer Express Yourself Cherish Oh Father Dear Jessie Keep It Together ^ 'Promise to Try' really needed a release but maybe as the final single so it wasn't ballad overhaul with 'Oh Father' too. Erotica Deeper and Deeper Bad Girl Fever Rain I'd have liked 'Waiting' or 'Thief of Hearts' to be released instead of 'Fever'. The others are fab. Secret Take A Bow Bedtime Story Human Nature ^ I don't think this album has many HITS and they did well with this. Will forever praise her for releasing 'Bedtime Story' :wub: Actually no, controversial but 'Sanctuary' over 'Human Nature' for me - never warmed to the latter and the former is HAUNTING. Frozen Ray of Light Drowned World (Substitute For Love) The Power of Goodbye Nothing Really Matters ^ this was done SO WELL but 'Sky Fits Heaven' demanded a release. 'Skin' too if she wanted SEVEN incredible singles. Music Don't Tell Me What It Feels Like For A Girl ^ 'Impressive Instant' is the one here i'd have gone for even if it was a wild choice. 'I Deserve It' too if there was room. American Life Hollywood Nothing Fails Love Profusion ^ I love it but 'Intervention' needed a release instead of 'Love Profusion' :( Hung Up Sorry Get Together Jump ^ 'Forbidden Love' released like 7 times until it was her biggest single? Please. Apart from that, perfect era. 4 Minutes Give It 2 Me Miles Away ^ 'Devil Wouldn't Recognise You' demanded a release. I know the campaign was dead by the third single but still :( Give Me All Your Lovin' Girl Gone Wild Masterpiece Turn Up The Radio ^ this was a major mess. I'd have started with 'I'm Addicted' and then gone for 'Girl Gone Wild' (I know it's not hugely appreciated but it is quite a big song). I'd have also gone for 'Love Spent' and got 'Gang Bang' lined up for a Bond movie :lol: 'Turn Up The Radio' should never have left the album. Living For Love Ghosttown Bitch I'm Madonna ^ so many single choices on here over BIM! 'Devil Pray' and 'Hold Tight' being the main two.
March 30, 20169 yr Like a virgin - Love don't live here anymore should have been a UK single (I know it was released else where) Erotica - Thief of hearts Bedtime Stories - Don't stop (Could have been a good pop song) Music - Runaway lover American Life - Nobody knows me / Mother and father (Both great tracks and much better than the singles released apart from DAD) Confessions - I love New York (Instead of Get together) MDNA - Beautiful Killer Rebel Heart - Rebel Heart
March 30, 20169 yr Confessions - I love New York (Instead of Get together) I do love 'I Love New York', but that really would have killed the campaign stone dead.
March 30, 20169 yr Yeah as much as I like it, it would've been a horrendous single choice. Practically every other song on the album would've been a better choice than it imo :lol:
March 30, 20169 yr I think Devil Wouldn't Recognise You is the obvious one for me, it should've been second single after 4 Minutes or third at very very least.
March 30, 20169 yr It would've been an incredible single choice. Now stands as one of her best album tracks mind, but still, imagine what the VIDEO could've been like *.*
March 30, 20169 yr Quite! And I just think it had so much potential to be a genuinely big single for her. Yes it would've had the allegations of being cheap and a copy etc but I still think the public would have actually bought it and it sort of would have actually made artistic sense after the Justin collaboration.
