I've never understood the hate for Turn Up The Radio. I really like it. Though the video is a piece of crap.

'One More Chance' is snooze-worthy.

 

'Turn Up The Radio' is an OK album filler but a blatantly obvious attempt by Solveig to recreate 'Hello' (and missing the mark)

oh poor One More Chance, I really like it but I guess Im the only one... Think it's better than most of her recent stuff, specially all those songs with Nicki Minaj :D

Turn Up The Radio would have been a fine single from a faceless dance act, but it's utterly bland and generic and already sounded about a year out of date when it was released. MDNA was surely the creative nadir of her career and this song typifies all that was wrong with it - perfunctory, joyless and forgettable.

 

Another Suitcase is a fine song in the context of the movie/musical, but I think a case of a single too far from Evita.

 

One More Chance is a gorgeous song, but I can understand why it's so low. It's very low key and 'nice' but hardly essential enough to cut through.

Hanky Panky has no place as her second worst single, especially not with a score that low! It's hardly a lyrical masterpiece or moment of pop high culture, but it does exactly what you would expect it to and I just find it a lot of fun.

Absolutely agree with both posts here.

 

No real losses so far. 'Hey You' is rightfully in last place, painfully cringeworthy and cliched and goes nowhere musically. It tries to be super inspiring but 'Imagine' this is not.

 

'Give Me All Your Luvin'' definitely needs to be in the next bunch.

Does it make you feel good to see me cry?

 

 

| 80. Love Don't Live Here Anymore 5.71

| 81. Bye Bye Baby 5.37

| 82. Bitch I'm Madonna (feat. Nicki Minaj) 5.35 (more 10s)

 

Winning due to having more 10s, Bitch I'm Madonna sneaks into 82nd place. The single was taken from Rebel Heart and was released as the third single from it. M teamed up with frequent collaborator Minaj, and used the production skills of Diplo and SOPHIE. The result is a song that is so in your face, it's undeniable. Featuring jarring production (that zip effect at the end, anyone?) and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, it is Madonna being loud, proud and herself! The first Erotica casulty comes in the form of Bye Bye Baby, the 6th and final single of the era. It is inspired by S&M thoughts and Madonna's feelings at the time of creating the album. A hip-hop song, Madonna's vocals were altered to sound as if they were coming out of an antique radio. Finally in this section, we lose Love Don't Live Here Anymore. The song initially featured on the Like A Virgin album, but it was added to her ballad compilation collection, Something To Remember, and released as the final single from that era. It was a cover of Rose Royce's original song.

I love Bye Bye Baby. The live performance is great. Really doesn't deserve to be this low.

 

BIM is so bad its good. The video is so car crash it lives up to repeated viewings.

I can enjoy Bitch I'm Madonna ironically but, subjectively it is a horrendous song :tearsmile:

 

Bye Bye Baby is decent enough but could have remained an album track~ her cover of LDLHA is nice and the best of this bunch for sure!

I’ve been through stages of enjoying Bitch I’m Madonna but not so much anymore. I wasn’t sure where this would place as I know it does have its fans (as shown by the 10 it received) among the haters.

 

Bye Bye Baby never seems to do well in these. I don’t find it particularly memorable as a single but in the context of the album I think it’s good, much like Fever.

 

I can see why LDLHA isn’t so favoured but I personally love her strained vocal, it really adds to the desperation and pain of the song. I loved hearing it on the Rebel Heart Tour and I’m still annoyed it was excluded from the official tour DVD (tbh I do tend to favour the fan uploads of that tour anyway).

I enjoy 'Bitch I'm Madonna' in an ironic way sometimes, but it is pretty much a nadir in her singles discography. I love that zip sound in the outro though. :lol:

 

'Bye Bye Baby' is fab but I never think of it as being a single.

It highlights what I think was so wonderful about her early vocals, really everything up to Evita, in that she could convey raw emotion so fantastically. It's not technically perfect and I appreciate it won't work for everyone, but that bit at the end where her voice breaks is so perfect. But it has the triple whammy of being old, a ballad and divisive so was never going to do well here.

 

Bitch I'm Madonna is, in any objective, way an absolutely atrocious song and yet more evidence of the creative dark ages between 2009 and Madame X but I can just about tolerate it once a year.

 

Bye Bye Baby is so slight and doesn't stand up next to the overall quality of it's parent album, but is fine. There's definitely worse songs to come.

BIM is a marmite track so not shocked to see it this low.

 

I cant stand the vocal effect on BBB i find it really grating.

 

I am shocked to see LDLHA this low , i fell in love with this even more after the reception the track got on the rebel heart tour.

LDLHA being as low as it is is perhaps the big shock so far. I've listened to it a bit since this rate started and it really does not deserve 80th on reflection!

never liked LDLHA, one of her weakest ballads ever

even as a kid when I bought Like a Virgin, it was my least fav track on the album

| 77. The Look of Love 5.83

| 78. I Rise 5.81

| 79. Fever 5.79

 

We lose another Erotica single! Fever was the fourth single from the album. It's a cover of Little Willie John's original song, however Madonna altered the production significantly by adding drum rhythms and a beatbox sound; she also added original lyrics to the song. The music video for the song featured a scorching red hot wig and kaleidoscopic backgrounds to create a warped and surreal world. Secondly we lose I Rise from Madonna's latest studio album. It was initially released as a promotional single. The song deals with self-empowerment and draws attention to gun violence in the US, while sampling a speech by American activist Emma González. The song's music video featured footage of Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivors, LGBTQ supporters, and women's rights protesters, among other social justice movements. Finally, The Look of Love drops out, the final single from the soundtrack Who's That Girl. She was inspired by James Stewart's performance in the 1954 film Rear Window when writing the song, as it is about a look of pure adoration and infatuation that the singer strives for.

oh poor The Look of Love, very under-rated gem!!!!! its a 10/10 song

I quite like 'I Rise'. It works really well as an album closer! 'Fever' is pretty weak as far as the Erotica album goes and I can't say I have ever really paid any attention to 'The Look of Love' </3
Glad to see 'Fever' out now, it's fine but it's an average cover of an average song. I Rise would probably have done better had it been released earlier in her career, it has most of the hallmarks of ''classic'' Madonna, but the vocal is fairly lifeless and overly processed (which is my main criticism of Madame X in general).
