yep I have great vibes too....to see her obviously jamming on the guitar is a great sign. She obviously feels v comfortable with avicii and his team. Has she left guy o?

Madonna - the remix album collective

what are your best remixes of Madonna songs? Maybe we could establish a greatest hits based on remixes??

yeah i am loving seeing her so comfortable...and that style she has really rocking and cool.

And yeah seeing her on guitar is so refreshing and cool to see...really invested and inspired.

And i dont think so...i think Oseary is still managing her, as far as i know anyway...but i dont know whether perhaps Madonna is being very much more independant musically with this and Oseary has focus more on perhaps merchandise?? i dont know...but U2 have apparently taken up his time too now...so i really dont know..grey area is this manager business.

thats very interesting as M and U2 are in a very similar position ... the grand tour operadums

i don't know what's going down between her and oseary. they have always maintained a great working relationship and he negotiated possibly her biggest financial deal with live nation. she also recently held her annual oscar's party at his mansion, so relations cant be that bad. i don't really know how she feels about him taking on another high profile client like u2, but i sense he is more of a figurehead with team of assistants handling the day to day running of the business.

i think she sees guy as a professional protégé of hers. he's been with her a long time in various professional roles, when generally people come and go quite frequently in madonna's professional circle.

I don't think there's any evidence that Madonna and Guy had any type of falling out. Some fans were thinking that because she wasn't following him on instagram but that was just some kind of technical glitch. I don't think Madonna has a problem with him managing U2. She always wants the best for people she works with and so I'm sure she'd be happy he's moving up and taking a huge artist like U2.

I don't think it's true that people always come and go in her professional circle. For example, Monte Pittman has been her guitarist in her touring band for quite awhile.

I think gpk meant that Madonna doesn't hold on to her colleagues, preventing them them from embracing other projects - she believes in allowing others to achieve and succeed.

So when do you guys think the earliest date will be that Madonna will release her 13th Album?

If I had to guess, I'm going to say mid November, similar to Confessions On A Dancefloor.

I think that is definitely the best time to release it, with the build up to Christmas. That way she has quite some time to promote the album, TV interviews and Performances etc. before summer 2015 which is when I'm sure is the time that she will be on tour.

Yes, that sounds about right. But I wonder if she would start the tour in early 2015 in January or February in Australia (it's summer there at that time). The Australian fans have been very upset at her for not doing tours there although she has promised to come there. So I'm thinking she might want to kick out the tour there and the time to tour there would be their summer which is our winter.

I think it would be a good idea if Madonna released her new album near the VMAs,then she can premiere her new single there and make a big spectacle.

Hopefully she isn't working on any films this time around and will be able to focus fully on the album and do loads of promo interviews and performances. Maybe some mag shoots too!

there were rumours posted here, which i responded too, but i didn't suggest there was any substance to those rumours.


are you being deliberately obtuse to many of the opinions that i post here or are you genuinely oblivious to the many personnel changes she has made throughout her career? she changes her producers frequently, she's made management changes and she even changed labels when "warner" were more than happy to keep her.

before you advise me not to take things too personally, like you have done in the past, i haven't forgot how you recently described me as a "very unpleasant person". so naturally, i can only assume these consistently contrary responses from you are designed to provoke a reaction from me.

back to the topic and the speculation about her album release. i have been quite candid about how i really hope she gets this record right, i can wait for however long it takes, just as long as the end result is worth the wait.

I'm just going to ignore you. You seem to take offense at every little thing when no offense was meant. Most artists choose different producers for a new album not because they have any falling out but because they want a different sound. You said people generally come and go in her circle when really she doesn't change people she works with all the time or anywhere near as often as other artists. And your response here only confirms my opinion you are unpleasant and hyper sensitive. I used to like this thread and forum but you've ruined it for me by your constant accusations against me when I wasn't insulting you at all. There are other places to discuss Madonna and perhaps I will just frequent those.

good idea.


pot, meet kettle. you discourage even the slightest comment on madonna that you deem negative, when actually as well as this being an appreciation thread, it is also a discussion thread.


i am not making comparisons with other artists, i was writing about madonna and the personnel changes she has made.


i couldn't care less what you think, i have made some observations about you too, but again, i will avoid making the more negative observations i have spotted public like you have done with me. however, a little self awareness wouldn't go a miss though.


it might surprise you to know that many fans quit this thread a while back, due to the ott constant praise coming from certain sources and i know this since people reached out to me personally. it doesn't surprise me that you miss the way things were, but what about the fans that left this thread in droves?


now who's being hypersensitive? i have no intention of driving people out of this thread and obviously i have no influence whatsoever to do that anyway. all i ask from the people that don't gel with me or my views is that they simply ignore my input and don't instigate further conflict.

love the new Madonna instagram photo of her dressed as 'Queen of the Dragons' ...this imagery could be something that she could tap into ...she looks wonderful...along the lines of Celts, Vikings etc

Could be inspired by Game of thrones. The character Daenerys Targaryen is referred to as The Queen of Dragons.

yes it is her dressed as Daenerys ...amazing show ....and it fits in with the theme of Purim. She is so intelligent.

Madonna isn't normally a fan of television (going by what she has said over the years, she prefers films), so it's nice to know she has great taste which what she does watch.

I hope we get the album this year or perhaps early next year, as long as the end result is fantastic I'm not bothered on how long I have to wait, it'll be ready when it's ready.

she has signalled 'this is my year' ...so i am expecting an october - november release. Maybe a summer ibiza dance hit in August? (not lead single - promo - avicii remix of album track?)

"Celebration" single leaked at the end of July '09. I'd like "Celebration" type single this year - only Avicii style

oh dear. what are the chances of madge actually stumping up the cash?!

i remember the interview madonna did with ryan seacrest following the incident and she was far from amused, but will she just stand by and see this insane lawsuit make an example of m.i.a.? madonna has always stood for freedom of speech, but she did find m.i.a.'s behaviour inappropriate, considering the scenario.

m.i.a. would have been better off messaging her on instagram, because she seems to respond to comments on there. her facebook and twitter accounts just seem to duplicate what she's posted on instagram in the main.

although, i do sense that m.i.a. wasn't being entirely serious with that post and her legal team do seem to be fighting her corner.

Be listening to Absolute 80s at 1pm today for an hour of Madonna hits to celebrate the 25th anniversary of LAP.

Access Absolute 80s online/mobile app on DAB or on Virgin channel 951.

That armpit photo is just....gross It's just a bit of attention seeking I'm sure and it wouldn't surprise me if it was fake but it's just gross IMO

Madonna still the best!

Happy birthday Like A Prayer

I remember the day it came out - all patchouli fragranced!

The whole LAP era was phenomenal, wish I could relive it
