Posted January 24, 20178 yr A third edition of the Artist Forum Contest has commenced - this time it's in search of the AF's best b-side or bonus/deluxe track. The Madonna Forum reached second place in a very strong previous contest, so the heat is on to do just as well, if not make it to the top spot. I've created a list of eligible entries from what I could find. If there's anything missing and you think it would be a good choice to put forward, please do say! Addicted (Rebel Heart) Ain't No Big Deal (B-side) Auto-Tune Baby (Rebel Heart) B-Day Song (MDNA) Beautiful Killer (MDNA) Beautiful Scars (Rebel Heart) Best Friend (MDNA) Best Night (Rebel Heart) Borrowed Time (Rebel Heart) Cyberraga (Music) Fighting Spirit (Confessions on a Dancefloor) Graffiti Heart (Rebel Heart) Has To Be (Ray of Light) History (B-side) I f***ed Up (MDNA) It's So Cool (Celebration) Let Down Your Guard (B-side) Messiah (Rebel Heart) Rebel Heart (Rebel Heart) Ring My Bell (Hard Candy) S.E.X. (Rebel Heart) Supernatural (B-side) Up Down Suite (B-side) Veni Vedi Vici (Rebel Heart)
January 24, 20178 yr Author I don't think Madonna's bonus material represents the best of her music very much, but there's definitely some good songs there. I think one of the Rebel Heart bonus tracks would have the best chance at doing well in this contest, perhaps the title track or 'Messiah'?
January 24, 20178 yr Author Of course, we could all just settle on putting this through: nXU6jM-18qY :music:
January 24, 20178 yr Author I'm going to be hunted down for forgetting that one! :drama: Not a personal fave of my mine but it's definitely got its fans here. However, I'm not too sure on whether it can qualify or not, as I'm not sure it actually appeared on an album or as a B-side to a single. I shall query...
January 24, 20178 yr I don't actually know many of those away from the Rebel Heart tracks which I listen to in its entirety. And not including the horror of B-Day song :/ Beautiful Killer is fun though ~ Hmm I would agree one of the RH bonus tracks would be the best option and 'Queen' is my immediate favourite but there are some other special ones too, namely Addicted and Best Night and Graffiti Heart.
January 25, 20178 yr Hmm, it's a rather RUM BUNCH isn't it. Definitely one of the Rebel Heart tracks though, I'd say Addicted, Rebel Heart or Queen. Maybe I f***ed Up if you want to go for something a little more mellow but with a bit of that traditional Madonna BITE.
January 30, 20178 yr OK we really need to decide on something! MORE VOCAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR CHOICES GUYS. I am quite clueless the more I think of it lmao :unsure: I *think* I am leaning towards 'Graffiti Heart' or 'Addicted'.... 'Queen' while amazing is far too niche and aimed at her fans to be wide appealing imo... But it does have a lot of support here so I DON'T KNOW.
January 30, 20178 yr Author It's out of the MDNA or Rebel Heart tracks for me. Nothing is screaming out as being an obvious choice to go through, even if there's a few there I really like - 'Messiah' and 'Rebel Heart' particular.

February 26, 20178 yr Author Ah, rats. :( The round didn't give us personally the greatest of material to play with; Madonna bonus tracks aren't the strongest.
