Madonna's Guy!

Well thankfully Warners will have nothing to do with her after this album's done so maybe things will change?! The controversial video for American Life was set to appear on Remixed & Revisited in late 2003 but that didn't happen. Then it was set to appear on the "I'm going to tell you a Secret" DVD/CD set in June '06 but that failed as well! :( I reckon had she put the original video on an enhanced American Life single when it was out (April '03) the song would've definately secured a #1 position or at least had some chart life!!

Yeah this is hard as when people ask me what my favourite Madonna songs are, i tell them that i treat Madonna songs like my children, i love them all and it would be unfair to say who my favourite child is! :) (not that i have kids but y'know lol!) But i'm gonna do a top 20 to show you all my undying love for the following kids... 001. The Power of Goodbye 002. Don't tell Me 003. Sorry 004. Love Profusion 005. La isla Bonita 006. Beautiful Stranger 007. Time Stood Still 008. Give it to Me 009. Like a Prayer 010. Deeper & Deeper 011. Jump 012. Live to Tell 013. Who's that Girl 014. Hung Up 015. Open your Heart 016. Borderline 017. Music 018. Vogue 019. Bad Girl 020. Nothing really Matters

I shall get back to this thread 2moro after i have been to HMV and post any information.

^ Yeah i hated the remix of 'History' we should have got the original! My favourite rare songs are Time Stood Still, Like a Flower and Spotlight. My favourite B sides are Aint no big Deal, Supernatural, Has to Be and Cyberaga.

The UK 12" picture disc and special double 12" vinyl for '4 Minutes' was out today according to HMV.com I'll be popping out into town 2moro after uni to buy them, if they're out as HMV say! I'm not sure whats happening with the special edition for the album. But its really annoying cos' i really want it! I asked the girl in HMV last week and she said it was due in the UK on May 19th (next Monday) along with the double vinyl release for the album. Lets see if they're accurate this time!! Warners always screw it up for Madonna in the UK.

Hard Candy not #1 in Italy? How bizzare! :(

Not entirely keen on Ring my Bell. A bit of a shamble if u ask me!

lol we're gonna have to book a hotel n' all and hoping the bedsheets will be safe!

Confessions sold way more than H.C in its debut week, almost 3 million i read. This album is going to be a slow seller; a success but slowly!

I'm gonna apply for cardiff i think.

4 weeks at #1 then! :) This makes her longest running #1 single Vogue then!!!! I reckon Coldplay will topple her this week but i'm not fussed, u can't complain with a 4 week feat! She's the best!!

Still loving this album. Give it 2 Me, She's not Me and Dance 2night being my faves! :)

What a minute, there is already a thread on this subject for which i created not so long ago!!

Disgusting Coldplay, how foul! Madge...regain your position immediately!!

Damn your a very fussy fan Comply, dunno how you could dislike the Erotica lp. Thats got some classics on there! Then again, i guess all this comes down to personal taste as Jark says :)

The full schedule isn't complete and i'm sure she'll add a few more dates on for the UK. I imagine these will be perhaps smaller venues like arenas. I doubt she'd play in Scotland, just seems like London and Wales really.

I'm gonna be online getting tickets really early in the morning!

^^ omg your views totally suck!! Not only are you awfully ageist but calling Erotica a bad album just gets wrose! Its little surprise Kylie is winning really...the one who's ruling the charts right now obviously doesnt get the vote! It amazes me that people still compare Kylie to Madge when Kylie has spent most of her career imitating M's every move. But i still like Kylie, i can tolerate her and i did buy X even though it has like 3 or 4 good songs.

Madonna's going on tour again and i'm devastatingly excited!! I know what songs i wanna hear performed live but it would be interesting to read some of your views too. So go ahead and pick your desired setlist, tell me what you wanna see Madonna do live on this upcoming world tour...! :) I'll add mine very soon!

^^ Not too sure just yet but i'm assuming your gonna have to call ticketmaster hotlines but check out Madonna's fansites for more info. I'm most likely gonna go to Cardiff cos i've seen her 3 times in London now! Ticket prices still expensive considering its a stadium show! I guess we're paying for the best though :) I still wish she adds a few UK arenas, they're more intimate!!
