What will Madonna's new album be like?

She's attached herself to Diplo. So except some watered down EDM.

shit

really OP? Vadge is and always has been DESPERATE as fuck. Now that she's old and most young people no longer care about her, she's even more desperate than ever to stay relevant. Bitch is gonna flop again.

[all posts by tedious troll removed.]

I hope it's good. Huge fan here. I liked MDNA. I think hard candy has aged well, though when it came out I wasn't crazy about it, but listening to it now it's good. I'm not sure what most would like from her, I think many are going to dislike anything thing she does next no matter what it is or how good it is. I'm excited for her next album, I think she's had a fabulous career and the 80s, 90's 2000's just would not have been the same without Madonna. I expect EDM, most of her fans want that from her. But I also expect her at some point to do another ballad album later on, she does that well and she knows it, and past sales prove it. It's just not the right climate for a ballad album.

I can't believe she still has "huge fans". She was never talented, likable or pretty.

This upcoming album will sound like her typical horrible shit. mdna was atrocious.

r6, you are a marvel. You managed to put behind the younger you who used to walk down the street with sunglasses perched on the tip of your nose munching on cheese doodles pretending the world was watching you and mature into a newer and hipper you, staying fresh with the current trends and escaping the suspicious scrutiny of fascist 20somethings. I applaud you, my friend.

MDNA was a good album. I own it and like it alot. I think alot of the bullshit is from people who have never even listened to it.

MDNA was not a good album. Even if one didn't think the songwriting was variable (it was), the shoddy production, vocals and mastering would be enough to put one off.

William Orbit has uploaded several remixes of MDNA tracks to his soundcloud. They're mostly better than the album versions.

For a songstress that some people think is no longer relevant, Madonna sure has a lot of active threads going on right now. I count 4 of them. I count ZERO for absolutely anyone else who puts out music.

We must love her.

Ray of Light was her last good album, though Music had a couple of good song, (Title track and "Don't Tell Me).

After that it was all downhill with nothing that even approached listenablity.

I didn't initially like the Confessions era ("Sample ABBA!? Get away from them, you bitch!") but all four singles have grown on me. That hadn't been true with the albums after Ray of Light.

I'm surprised she didn't release Devil Wouldn't Recognise You as a single, even though she's basically just a Timberlake stand in on that track. Had she split up with Ritchie by the time it might have been a single?

You probably started each and every one of them, R10.

We do not love her. We do not even like her. We would not care if she were to die.

She's no Janet Jackson.

R9 is hilarious with his definitive SHODDY PRODUCTION! VOCALS! MASTERING! He has no idea what he is talking about. None. But damn, it sure do SOUND good!

MDNA is a pretty good album, no matter what this troll says. After all, it sold 4 million albums. Not bad, not bad at all. Why don't you listen to it?

It's going to be hilarious seeing a rapidly aging Vadge still try "to get down with the kids and be cool". She keeps posting all these selfies with other celebs and she looks like their mother/aunt. It will be amusing to see her singles flop. Of course her tasteless old kween stans and methed out twink stans will buy up the album but it won't have much of an impact.

"Get down with the kids"? You mean those unemployed slobs who are living with their parents and still can't get a job? I don't think that is Madonna's demographic at all.

Think: Professional, hip, urban, upper management with plenty of money in the 401K.

Kids? You are so funny!

[quote] What will Madonna's new album be like

As dreadful as the 58 before it.

If Vadge was smart (which she isn't), she would reunite with Stephen Bray and Patrick Leonard - the ones who produced the songs of hers that people actually remember.

Oh, and she seriously needs to ditch this tired, generic electro-pop shit.

She was smart enough to reunite with Leonard for Ray of Light. She could do it again.

My bet is things went wrong moneywise between them. Leonard might have saved us from "I like to singy singy singy, like a bird on a wingy, wingy, wingy."

??? Then don't buy her album, asshole. Pretty easy, ain't it?

Diplo hasn't been able to get hits for anyone (JLo, Britney, Beyonce, etc). Katy Perry wisely cut his tracks off her album. Madonna shouldn't release a Diplo song.

[quote]She was smart enough to reunite with Leonard for Ray of Light. She could do it again.

That was almost 17 years ago, and even then, he just co-wrote and co-produced a few songs on that album. She needs to bring him and Bray back and let them do the lead production.

I can't believe she's working with Nas - she obviously has no idea who her audience is anymore. Like urban kids are really going to listen to a white woman pushing 60.

Madonna should go back to her roots with Patrick Leonard and Stephen Bray. Or just record any Dianne Warren song, that bitch made millions re-writing the same song for decades.

She's sooo sad. I mean when I was bad I was just bad. I wasn't desperate and bad.

If it's another set of reductive, cheap-sounding shit like "Girls Gone Wild" then it'll fail as badly as that did.

The last time Madonna released interesting singles was in 2000. "Don't Tell Me" and "What It Feels Like For a Girl" were sublime. But that was nearly 15 years ago, and she was already over 40 then.

'I'm not sure what most would like from her'

Silence, R5.

Really, we should all just settle back and enjoy the spectacle. Most of the lunatic entertainment figures die young or retire permanently.

In Madonna, we have a rare case of a severely personality disordered narcissist, acting out her delusional fantasies of being a cutting edge, sexually desirable provocatrice, 20 years and counting since she was last able to push this shit on the public with any semblance of credibility.

She will be doing her hyper-sexual, cheesy, tinny electro pop INTO HER 70's ! - and possibly beyond.

Let us enjoy the Madonna freak show, now that Jackson and Elvis have left for the circus tent in the sky.

Well yes, r28, but to give her her due it's not like she's just doggedly stuck with her sexy singer-dancer act all these years and never tried anything else. So her genius doesn't lie in acting or directing or publishing, and she's being upstaged by two generations of pop stars operating in a genre she created. And yes, she's an embarrassment right now for visibly trying so damn hard and not making it. But I find myself still rooting for her to find something cool to do even as an old lady.

Well let me put it this way... Would we rather hear a new Madonna album or a Britney album?

It will be like an aging stripper doing "one last show" because, in her mind, she's still got it. She fills the room, not because people find her beautiful or talented, but because they want to marvel at the delusion. They will snap some photos to share with friends and laugh for days about them. This will feed the delusion of the stripper, who never catches on to the joke.

Her tickets are way to expensive for me to buy just to "marvel at her delusion."

Stromae writes her a hip hop/disco reworking of "Ave Maria".

With puns about fitting gold grills, matching IUDs, and boy revolutionaries into the appointments of the pop Sextette.

Gyrate. Feels so great. Gotta hot date. So don't hate.

R32= hanging around for Gaga's next Groupon ticket tour.

Well, Madonna is only 8 million certified album sales away from displacing Michael Jackson as the world's 3rd largest seller of music EVER.

That is quite an achievement that cannot be overlooked.

So bitch, scream, jabber you clutch of queens---you are a tiny, unhappy minority in the music world

So, to answer the OP's original question: Madonna's new album might be like the cannon shot that brings Madonna yet ANOTHER ground breaking record.

Superlatives cannot go far enough in describing Madonna's impact on the musical scene these 30 years---and she is still going strong.

R36 and all of that impact is negative. She brings and brought nothing of value.

Shitney Spears has sold a shit load of albums too-that certainly doesn't mean she is talented, original or incredible. The same can be said of Vadge.

No, Britney has sold close to nothing compared to Madonna and for you to compare them in the same sentence proves how absolutely useless you are.

R38 what are you talking about? Checking the "verified units" list of sold albums, Vadge has almost 166 million while Shitney has almost 77 million. How is 77 million "close to nothing" compared to 166 million? Sure it's less than half but both are HUGE numbers. The 2 of them have sold a ridiculous amount and it simply shows that album sales has nothing to do with quality of music. There are plenty of recording acts who are infinitely more talented than these 2 but don't have the sales to show for it. There are a lot of people in the public with shitty taste, including stans of Vadge of Shitney. Deal with it.

Shitney?

Vadge?

What are you? 11 years old?

Yes, 77 million is less than half of Madonna's take. You have proved my point valid. Thank you, very much.

r31, not quite. Good try, though.

I am continually shocked by how many people I meet who have gone to a Madonna show. People I would never have expected. I've never been to one, and I was a fan for years. And they have never said they laughed at her like she was a circus freak. They always say it was an amazing show. They can't see her upclose, but they see the blood and sweat she puts into a performance. She wants to give 150 percent. The ticketbuyers appreciate that. Most of these people aren't running home to listen to her albums. But she is a Top Name. She's made a name for herself, a legend of nostalgia, a pop music icon - to go to a Madonna concert is a concerty thing to do for the mainstream. In the last couple of decades, it's the shows that are her moneymakers. She doesn't give a shit about video anymore, and the music doesn't really hold that much interest for her. It's the stage performances. She started as a dancer and that's where she'll stop. As long as her body can withhold the task, she'll put on a show that is worth the money to see.

I saw her concert in 2011, and even though I didn't really care for MDNA, it was a spectacle to watch. The audience ranged from 15 to 60 - all over the map, and it was pandemonium when she came on stage . Expensive, but worth it.

I love Madonna. I've been front row at one of her concerts. She puts on a great show.

I am not the Madonna troll, but I grew up loving her music, and her. But I don't know what's next for her. Don't like the plastic surgery. Don't care about those children's books. But I'd never count her out yet.

She's smart, determined and fairly ruthless.

oh c'mon we all know her next album will obviously suck.

and I can't believe people here are saying she puts on great performances? Let's see-she either lip syncs or if she tries "singing" (she's not a real singer) live she sounds awful.

She makes the stage very busy to distract from the very low-quality vocals.

She'll put on revealing outfits to "shock" and "show she's still got it".

Anyone who thinks this is a great performance is just clueless about what real talent is. How are her concerts worth so much money? Her fan base is made up of fools.

Not to mention all those times she has showed up hours late.

Yet millions show up every time she goes on tour. Posters like r45 are tiresome losers.

No, I think she deserves the criticism of her live vocals. She even sounds awful on her DVDs.

She could easily learn to sing. It's not like her songs are that hard on the voice.

How will it sound? Crowded.

r45, your needle is stuck in a groove and you're not willing to actually hear what people are saying. No one is saying Madonna is a great singer. She is the ultimate performance artist in pop music though. All the current artists today are now doing what she brought to mainstream music performance: Broadway and Las Vegas incoporated with pop and rock. Her show is spectacle. And people cannot deny that she doesn't give a fucking spic spectacle of a show. If you want Joni Mitchell sitting on a stool under a single spotlight and crooning a Siren song, you will begreatly disappointed. But I never expect that from Madonna.

I, too, have gone to several Madonna concerts over 30 years and they have all been absolutely spectacular shows. To say she can't sing is utter bullshit.

Her athletic prowess allows her to dance all over the stage like a gymnast---and if we need a little help with lip synch while she does all that and catches her breath---than these are the NEW RULES of modern concert spectacularum.

Like a poster earlier said, she doesn't sit on a stool under a spotlight singing folk songs. If this is what you want go elsewhere.

The world has voted on Madonna. She is here to stay.

R45 seems to think people can jump and dance around for 90 minutes and not run out of breath.

R45 writes the technically lamest post on record. Did he ever take an English course in grade school?

wow the Vadge stans are delusional.

No, she's not a real singer. She can carry a tune but has always been very weak. None of her defenders seem to understand that she adds all these extra features because she can't sing well. If she could, she wouldn't have to find other ways to entertain you. If her shows are anything like that joke of a superbowl performance, then no I'm not impressed. She looked like a granny stripper.

She also copied most of her "ideas" from other people who did it first.

I went to the confessions show and it was pretty cool I have to admit. But I guarantee those acrobatic non stop moves are not going to last 90 minutes anymore.

[all posts by tedious troll removed.]

R53, words like "delusional" are fairy-speak for when you really don't have any strong argument to add to the conversation.

[quote] and if we need a little help with lip synch while she does all that and catches her breath---than these are the NEW RULES of modern concert spectacularum.

The lipsycing isn't a problem. It's the quality of her live vocals. She's intercut lipsyncing and singing live since at least the Blonde Ambition tour.

I've heard her sing in concert, her slow songs, her voice is fine and you are absolutely, totally full of shit. You can't back up your claims, can you?

[quote] You can't back up your claims, can you?

Youtube is your friend.

Her Youtube videos are fine.

Everyone copies.

her new album will be a FLOP!

her songs can't chart anymore except on the dance chart.

The last time Vadge had a top 10 when she was the only one doing vocals on the track was back in 2005. Her last 2 times in 2008 and then for a week in 2012 (lmao) were when she featured younger, popular acts with her. On her own, she's a FLOP these days. Her last 4 singles haven't even charted in the top 100!

all her desperate instagram posts, tired, bad-vocal-filled performances and attention-whoring outfits won't save her from flopping hard

Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna

here at DL we have Madonna on the brain 24/7!

Just can't stop talking about her.

Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna

Love her, hate her or indifferent to her, but "Living for Love" is as good or better than "Blank Space" or "Love Me Like You Do" which US radio stations seem to be enamored with lately.

R65 no all 3 are equally as bad. None of those 3 bitches can sing at all. They have VERY weak vocals.

All of the photos she's been releasing to promote her new music look like throwaway shots from the Bedtime Stories era.

I saw her Grammy performance and thought the song was good, but that was it. Nice show as well. Nothing new, though.

It blows my mind how some gay men become completely tasteless and tone-deaf when her new music comes out. They love EVERYTHING. Every snippet, note, clip, leak, demo, EVERYTHING. She could shove a kazoo up her butt and fart, and they'd all get the vapors over it. They're comparable to the Britney fanbois. They will eat up any and everything.

Used to love Madonna but she's going down hill in the last 5 years. A lot.

Vadge and Shitney fans are an embarrassment to the gay community and I wish they could be exiled to 1 single island.

I think her new album will set sales records!

R70 of being her lowest selling album? probably

I wish I could understand the Madonna hate around here - which is a very recent thing, btw.

And no, I don't need another explanation from some hysterical childgay that she stole everything she did. Bitch, we knew that back in the '80s when it was happening, we really don't need some hummingbird who wasn't even around then to shriek about it one more time.

What I'm curious about is where this total hatred comes from for an artist that isn't that much different than any other musical act that's come around - oh no, she stole sounds, dance moves, costumes! Welcome to what literally everybody ever has done, ever.

Did she break into your house and steal your mint collection buffalo head nickel? Because this whole "WE HATE HER AND ALWAYS WILL" shit is getting weeeeeeeeeeird.

Thank god there are people in the world who remember her for being groundbreaking, interesting, entertaining, and, gasp, occasionally original.

Madonna only needs 8 million more certified album sales to DISPLACE Michael Jackson from the #2 position as the biggest seller of music in the world.

Only 8 million more!

After that, she can focus on displacing the Beatles from the #1 position.

Nobody does it better than Madonna. Nobody.

R72 = typical el-dergay Vadge stan.

Why is it hard to understand why so many can't stand her?

Gee let's see-she's a hypocrite? She's a known and proven BITCH to fans and people who work for/with her. This all from the woman who preaches we should all love each other and be kind...she's a gimmicky thieving fraud. If you're going to be a nasty person at least have talent...she doesn't....

You even mentioned how unoriginal she is yet then say "remember when she was "groundbreaking, interesting, entertaining and original"? You're contradicting yourself just like your idol does.

She's an attentionwhore. She can't handle getting old. She's jealous and unfriendly towards other women whom she views as competition. None of her negative characteristics have gone away as she's gotten older-they've only worsened. Most people realize she's pathetic and always has been that way.

R74, you write yet another pitiful lament from whatever pitiful state you live in. One has to wonder how one garners so much hatred from fan magazines and tabloid news.

You obviously have out-twatted yourself with your latest screed and once again have made a fool of yourself.

Fly away, little swallow.

R74 - see, you're exactly what I'm talking about,

Anyone who likes her, in your view, is some sort of vile ancient thing. The truth is that no, we're relics from the '80s who sort of liked her stuff and then got tired of her around 1997.

Just like a thousand other singers.

As for Madonna herself, you call her an ancient vapid whore who hates her fans.

And? Like I give a shit - I don't rate performers on how well they greet their fans, I rate them on how well they do their art. Madonna does it quite well - as for her being a whore, why would I give a shit about who she fucks?

And she's aging? Oh my god, no way. It's unfortunate that she was struck with that condition, she's in my prayers.

You and everyone like you here are totally unhinged - I can only hope that you someday get over the terrible hurt that your Madonna poster inflicted upon you.

Reminiscent of ovaltine.

(77 here) Actually I liked Confessions on the dance floor...but that was 10 years ago. I downloaded the one after that but it never did anything for me.

R76 has posted the most intelligent, coherent post on this entire thread.

Congratulations! Unfortunately, the DataLounge Corporation is all out of Red Lobster coupons to issue to posters, like you, who make sense.

From the editors of DataLounge, we thank you once again.

[quote] the DataLounge Corporation is all out of Red Lobster coupons

Are you kidding me!!!!??

What have I been doing on here all day then??

I could be watching porn!

Does a Red Lobster taste better than camel toenail soup?

R76 so you feel fine giving your money to someone who doesn't appreciate it...and you say others need help?

In what way is Madonna's "work" considered "art"? Ripping off imagery she has seen elsewhere means she's an artist? Stubbornly trying to show she's "sexy" in her late 50s is art? Flashing her ass cheeks on the red carpet is art? Her vocals certainly aren't "art". You mean her lyrics are art? She's so transparent it's hilarious.

Some newly leaked lyrics

Get into the home boy, you are so prone to erectile disease Now we've got to eat Oy vey, rub my feet i can't bend my knees...

R82, everything you've said is so subjective and counter to the aducation of most every professional in the field of music. Why don't you just lay down and play dead. You and your infantile ideas have been shredded and shredded in the Lounge and you don't seem to have much more to offer.

R84 poor soul, trying to make Vadge and her "music" seem like an intellectual delight. She's nothing of the sort. Her songs are mostly crude. Her lyric-writing ability is quite basic and it's no secret she pays off real songwriters to get credit. She's a fraud, not a real artist. You are a fool of course but most of us know that.

Awww--poor R85, the abandoned baby on the steps of the convent and all she can do is wail and wail what a bad person Madonna is.

No one believes it, child. Madonna is the 3rd best seller of music in the ENTIRE WORLD. So clutch your little pee-pee and wail about that.

And she is only 8 million certified albums away from dislodging the King Of Pop, Michael Jackson, from his throne.

That must make my widdle baby SO angry.

R87, child give it up. You can't write comedy.

Did it even chart at all on Billboard?

R89, the Madonna album hasn't been released yet.

It's not released yet.

It is scheduled to be released on March 6, 2015

The single "Living For Love" didn't hit the top 100 peaking at 108 and only made #2 on the Top 100 dance charts.

Even after the Grammys, her single didn't break the Top 100?

Jesus, how humiliating.

To be fair the album isn't released and the single was rush released. It should've been released on Feb 14, 2015.

r94

Has a point, that and the fact the single was awful.

this is the worst a Vadge lead single has done since "Everybody" failed to chart on the hot 100 back in '82 (it only charted on the dance/club chart).

Vadge is officially a FLOP and OVER.

All the desperate instagram postwhoring, all the silly press items about her, even that awful and silly Grammys performance could not land her single in the hot 100.

Meanwhile Annie Lennox reenters the hot 100 with "I Put a Spell on You" at #97.

Annie >>>>> Vadge

Interesting review of Rebel Heart....

It's not graded just reviewed

R87: More like the wistful ruminations of a fan than an actual review.

That review seems absolutely in line with dozens of other reviewers of her new album. It is indeed her best work in 10 years.

[quote] It is indeed her best work in 10 years.

Thank you for that.

Now, when people ask for an example of damning with faint praise, I will point to that.

Maybe we should review the reviews of Janet's fiasco, Damita Jo, next and compare the two.

Trying to decide, between Madonna and Jane Jackson, who is the bigger has-been seems like a singular waste of time.

I'd vote for Gaga. Have you noticed the paparazzi don't even bother stalking her anymore?

I wonder if Vadge will keep making music after this album inevitably flops. Her ego must be so bruised now.

Tacos things will get better

Oh yes they will

Since Chico took a pill

Even though it's funny he don't understand duchy

Ya ya ya ya YAAAAA

R104= 5'7", 140 lbs, pasty skin, spotty whiskers and two wrists that flop all day long.

Yeah, R104, she's super hating having the highest grossing tour of last year. That just stings.

The only thing bruised around here is R104 with everyone pushing the new magic button on him.

whiny, sensitive Vadge fans

*with 1 hand on hip, the other clutching their pearls* "DON'T MAKE FUN OF MY MADONNA!1!1!1!1!1! SHE'S EVERYTHING TO ME!1!1!1!1!"

I dunno, I don't think Madge + hiphop works. But she keeps running to them to make her relevant.

The blacks only liked her in 1983, when they just knew her from the radio and thought she was black.

Weird how she looks virtually the same but her music turned to shit.

I hope it has "get into the groove" in autotune

She should do a retro album with songs from the 1910s

I hope she makes her next album Liver Spots.

Bad, as usual

2 tracks just leaked... ballad:`

dance track
