Are you govoreeting Nadsat, malchick? do you always have to bring your stupid irrelevant comments and your bad karma to all of the threads? give us a rest please!!! Sorry, I was assuming you'd be intelligent enough to understand a Burgessian wordplay. I won't make that mistake again.

How about not making the mistake of posting any of your irrelevant crap again in this thread

I thought this would be similar to the well-known George Best tale where he's lying on a hotel bed with Miss World and a suitcase stuffed full of money, when in walks a porter and says "Mr Best, where did it all go wrong?".
Personally I would have loved to have "gone wrong" in a similar financial sense to Madonna. If her hits have dried up then I'm sure she'll be comfortable entering old age.

The moment she decided her reinvention as an Earth Mother wasn't sexy enough and tried to copy Lil Kim, tried to show how she was dead sexxxxxxi an dahn wit da kidz yallz by getting that horribly unfunny arsewipe to be in her video, calling a single and album "Music" when they were nothing of the sort and insisting on thrusting her rancid cameltoe in the faces of all and sundry when only Wayne Rooney and a bunch of 3rd World male prostitutes with access to a constant supply of cheap viagra want to see that VILE...........

This sounds like something from the Frisky & Mannish show... actually they did go through the different stages of Madonna's career in their show last year... in the end she was reincarnated as Lady Gaga... perhaps that's just it. Nobody before could dethrone her. Other artists came along but they were never a new Madonna... until Lady Gaga.
I would say an artist can go through the following:
- Initial stage: they must be good enough or have something special about htem or nobody would care for them
- Stage where they can do no wrong: whatever they put out will be a hit,
- Critical stage. The public no longer worship you but are interested in hearing your music and will buy if it is good, otherwise it will flop.
- Point of no return. Public have lost interest and no matter what you put out you won't have a hit.
It's difficult at this stage to know if Madonna has reached the point of no return, you will only know that when she releases something reasonably good and it still flops.
Madonna won't be poor because she comes across to me as someone who doesn't squander cash. She does all kind of crazy things on stage but off it she's a down to earth person who likes to look after children and doesn't get involved with drugs or anything extreme. She has a legacy of hits and will be able to perform live for a number of years on the back of those.
For many of the major artists of the 60s and 70s, the late 80s seemed to be a turning point where they stopped having commercial success in sales. Paul McCartney doesn't sell anymore even though he has recorded new music not all that long ago but he still makes it and he still goes out and plays live, primarily his older music including Beatles songs.

As a big Madonna fan since the 80s I've been very disappointed by her music in the last few years. In fact even before Hard Candy, the American Life album (2003?) was really bad. It's more like Confessions was the last hurrah of a great career. Anyway, I think it would be more pertinent to take a positive spin and say "isn't it amazing that she managed to stay so successful and so relevant for so long"

I'm getting a bit sick of people saying her new music is terrible. Have they actually listened to the new album because some of the songs (eg. Beautiful killer, I Fu**ed up, Turn up the radio, Masterpiece, Love spent & Best friend) are up there with the best she's ever done IMO. Beautiful killer is in fact fast becoming my favourite Madonna song of all-time and really should have been the lead single.

I'm already bored of the whole album aside from I Fu**ed Up. I wouldn't call the album terrible, but it's definitely not up to the standards you'd expect from the Queen of pop.

See I disagree. I'm enjoying this album as a whole more than any album I can remember of hers. Even 'Ray of light' had a few skippable tracks on it, but 'MDNA' I love every song.

I'm not, I remember reading loads of great reviews when it first came out. people are only slagging it off now because they have to jump on a bandwagon when they see one.

Metacritic has MDNA aggregate rating as just 64/100 from 34 major music magazine/newspaper/music website reviews; one less than Hard Candy managed; whilst Confessions On A Dance Floor scored 80. Meanwhile rateyourmusic.com has MDNA averaging 2.75 out of 5. The second lowest rated Madonna studio album to date, only ahead of Hard Candy, which I (sadly) personally concur with.

It's better than Confessions on a dancefloor, I don't care what anybody says.

If anybody is interested Turn Up The Radio only reached number 175, her lowest position ever.

Artists score top 75 hits with cherrypicked album tracks and Madge can't even pull a hit single out anymore. Mind you, it'd help if she actually did some proper promotion, built some hype etc.

I think the album is "fun" and I'm amazed at the drop away in support. Agree about the lack of promo - one visit to Graham Norton will longer do? Will we see her on x-factor now... ?
