Do you think Madonna is despondent over Kylie Minogue's INCREDIBLE success with "Disco"?
Let's face it, Madonna has done everything to piss on her legacy as Queen of Pop. I say this as a fan of Madonna's since 1983. The last few years have been painful.
I've always thought of Kylie as the Princess of Pop (although I guess one could argue Britney takes that title).
But, Kylie is now deserving of the title of Queen of Pop. She cares about her fans. She seems to enjoy herself. Her music is still fun and it's uniting people during a time like this. That's what the Queen of Pop SHOULD do.
Madame X, who?
Do you think Madge is going on a bender and yelling at the kids?

Nope. Madge’s last album went number 1 in the US and 2 in the UK because Springsteen also released an album that week. Neither M or Kylie had a big hit single, they both get big first sales weeks based off of their legend status/core fanbase and then have a big drop-off.
Madonna already did the disco throwback album better 15 years ago anyways. (I love Disco but it’s no Confessions)

Kylie Minogue is somewhat similar to Little Mix and Girls Aloud. Nobody gives a fuck about any of them in the US yet their fans make it sound like they invented pop music.

Kyle had two (sorta) hits in the US. "Locomotion" in the 80s and some dance song in the early 2000s. We would consider her a "One Hit Wonder".
I find her songs weird and unpleasant. I watched a concert she did in Sydney and noticed that her songs lacked "a hook". Not sure if it was just that album or all her music. Americans just don't dig her for some reason.

I'm fans of both Kylie & Madonna but what makes me like Kylie more is that she doesn't take herself too seriously. She knows her music and style is camp and she goes with it. I saw her "Les Folies" and "Golden" tours at the O2 and they were fun, campy spectacles.
Madonna used to be like that in the first half of her career but then became an "artist" and her music and style became less fun.

I think Madonna would be pretty upset. Kylie is shining on an album that she wrote or co-wrote, very melodic and interesting and fun songs that are also weird and make you want to listen again and again. It's great dance music. People are right that there is no filler.
I was tepid on Kylie because I thought "Golden" and "Kiss me once" were not really my thing, but this album is great.
For a legacy act, on Spotify usually the top songs are all old classic. When I was looking at Kylie's spotify, four out of the five songs are from the new record. For Madonna, when Madame X came out, all her top songs were Vogue, Material Girl, Like a Prayer, etc. Yes, they're bigger songs but as they were still being played more than her recent material shows that no one was interested in the harsh, amelodic Madame X

Don’t hold your breath. She only releases albums every 3-4 years these days. You’ll be lucky if she releases something in 2022, and by then she’ll be 64. Nobody has a comeback at that age.
She would be better off just not releasing new albums and just doing a greatest hits Vegas show.

This isn't strictly true - Madonna and Dannii have been friends for longer than 20 years, they met when they both auditioned for Showgirls, Dannii in the Nomi Malone role and Madonna as Crystal Connors.
Dannii was recommended to Simon Cowell as an X Factor judge by Madonna and Madonna and cowrote Dannii's biggest hit All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You.
Madonna still holds a grudge against Kylie for recording The Locomotion and having a worldwide hit with it - Madonna had recorded it for the Like A Prayer album and had to scrap it.

Madonna and Dannii were on-again off-again lesbo lovers for like 20 years. I saw them at dinner in NYC together like 15 years ago and I swear to God Madge was finger banging her at the table while Dannii was giggling in this crazy Versace barely there gown. I have no idea why Madonna loathes Kylie so much when she's been shagging her sister all these years. Probably professionally threatened? I dunno.

The track listing on the second side of the album was meant to be Cherish - Dear Jessie - Oh Father - The Locomotion - Spanish Eyes - Act Of Contrition.
When Madonna heard about Kylie's version of The Locomotion being a huge hit she threw a chair through a glass screen in the recording studio. Steve Bray tried to calm her down and got her to do some deep breathing exercises. He kept saying to her "Keep it together" and as they did their relaxation techniques together a new song was created!.

Do you think Madonna pays any attention to the UK or Australian charts?
The Locomotion wasn't a hit in the US for Kylie until October 88, Madonna released Like A Prayer 5 months later in March 89.
Just imagine how Madonna must have felt when Kylie stole her song title Burning Up for a song on the Fever album, and even worse, when Kylie performed Burning Up live, she incorporated elements of Vogue into it!

After the initial success of Confide In Me through to Spinning Around, the 5 year period between 1995 and 2000 was not a great one for Kylie. The Impossible Princess album wasn't appreciated and to make matters worse, along came old friend Natalie Imbruglia with something similar but better which people loved.
The Intimate & Live tour was overlooked by a lot of the media but it recognised a decade of Kylie as a recording artist and the response from fans was an experience she never forget.
The criticism of her during that time was vicious and spiteful, but now everyone likes her because there's nothing to dislike about her. She's sincere, she's genuine. she's funny, she doesn't take herself too seriously. It's why her performance at Glastonbury was the most watched ever in the UK.
