July 20, 20231 yr Author Not surprised to see this last. I used to find that prolonged vocal effect at the beginning really off-putting and didn’t think the rest of the song was up to much either, but I have had a turn around on the song since. The lyrics are blunt, over-simplified, but I think it works in the context and with Madonna’s delivery. I do like the “please don’t try to tempt me… don’t want my dreams adding up to nothing” lyric.

August 6, 20231 yr None of those are really that surprising, thought Mother and Father always feels like it’s given a slightly unfair review due to the rap.
August 6, 20231 yr Mother and Father live version is far superior!! Still fuming the im going to tell you a secret album was removed from streaming

August 13, 20231 yr Love Profusion is the first big loss for me. I think it's sorely underrated and gets a hard time. Nobody Knows Me is decent too!
August 14, 20231 yr Nobody Knows Me is easily my favourite song on the album, shame to see it so low.
August 14, 20231 yr Author I would have expected Nobody Knows Me to be higher too, I did have to double check the scores actually because an 11 and two 10s are high scores to only achieve 7th. I love the Re-invention performance, I prefer that version to the original and there’s something about Madonna strutting on that conveyor belt that just boosts the song. Love Profusion is a good album track but was wasted as a single. Nothing Fails should have had a worldwide release.
August 14, 20231 yr Author pl-7_IQ_ev0 06. Intervention // 7.81 average Highest: two 11s, two 10s // Lowest: one 4
August 15, 20231 yr Author I really paid attention to ‘Intervention’ after she performed it on the Tears of a Clown concert and dedicated it to Rocco when they weren’t on speaking terms; that context brought a new layer of emotion to the lyrics and the pain Madonna was feeling was evident. It remains a favourite of mine.
