Madonna: Swept Away, part IV

I only hope that one day I can be big enough to have forums where people publish every unflattering paparazzi photo of me...

Who is this lady, though? Is she, like, famous or something?

"Confessions" is near-genius. I'm totally loving it. Make of this what you will.

I make of it the taste of pussy, genius with a big production budget. And a desperate need to escape years with only three months of sunshine.
North of Detroit can inspire any human being like that.

ok, i know im WAY late on this sweetie, but.. Im finally listening to the new Madonna here at this job im on and I cant get over how bad the New York song is, is she kidding. I LOVE the sound of it. Its my favorite one music-wise , but the words......New York/Dork go to Texas....get off my street,London and Paris , you can keep? what the fuck, did her son make up the lyircs? its a shame cuz i really love the groove. Theo's "New York" song blows hers out of the water, and im not just saying that cuz shes a friend.......oh Madonna cant you just hum along with the music?
.

Hey!
Don't talk about my friend like that.

with friends like that.......

Hey, she's just a working mother of two.
Give her a break will ya.

Finally, someone agrees with me, she's just a housewife from Michigan.

Exactly.

Rob I thought the exact same thing about the lyrics to the New York song. I like the groove too but it's one of the lesser tracks IMHO. In fact I could arguably take back the "near-genius" label ... upon closer inspection, much of the lyrics are not so great. But then great dance music is supposed to speak to your body, not your mind, right? Unless of course it's Billy Ray Martin.

My faves are "Jump" and "Can We Get Together". The best thing about the whole record is that you really do feel like you're back in some giant NYC club of bygone days tripping on E and feeling up some nameless hottie. The high without the high.

"Hung Up" and "Sorry" both have those Satanic hooks that are... well, demonic.
But it was my little girl, Samantha Jo that sold me on "Jump".
Sammy has good ears.

do you believe in love at first sight / it's an illusion / i don't care.

I care/but I don't care

oops. sorry. different blonde.

Taken two days ago, Madonna's major man hands:

Its funny cos years ago she looked like she 'enjoyed' the clothes - now to me she looks like any other OLD day time tv show housefrau who has a stylist choose the latest fad. She just doesn't 'wear' clothes any more - do u know what i mean by that.
She's also way too scrawny... she needs a bit of curves she's just scraggy.
Has anyone seen the new shots of Janet Jackson since she lost all the weight.... really shocking....

OMG!
The Empress is going to have a fit!
That is EXACTLY what she is wearing to "Stevie" this year.

I have no objection to Madge being up on a cross but i do find it somewhat amusing how she picks her 'targets'. To 'mock' christianity is a much softer target than say the jews or islam or even scientolgy! Remember when she made the 'war' video but pulled it fast (cos she was really scared of the backlash). To me it just de-values any 'art' she wants to do with the cross. u know..?
Am sure the show is a brilliant.... but i can't help feeling that people are now paying to see a caberet Madge - almost a parody of herself. She's become a characature of herself i think.
Bless her and her big scrawny mans hands.

Damn she looks grizzled!
What happened?
I hope I don't look like that when I'm her age.
Wait a minute...
I AM her age!

Oh well, I guess I can always walk around with dark glasses doing this.

I had to take up her side when I read about the church condemning her show and all. The Vatican can never stop being tired and hideous. If they're so fucking upset why don't they auction off 1/100th of their art collection and feed the entire Third World with the proceeds. (they could, you know) I still remember them all up in arms back in the 80s when she had a black Jesus in her 'Like A Prayer' video. Please.

But it's not like she's covering new ground here. Her art has always revolved around two issues really: religion and her pussy. When audiences tire of one topic, she veers back to the other. In recent years themes about the consequences of fame have crept in to her work, but that motif never seems to catch fire as well, so she sticks to the cross and the vag for guaranteed headlines. But that's a Catholic for you. They spend their whole lives recovering from the trauma of what they're force-fed as children.

When it's all said and done, I still love 'Confessions'. Say what you will about her ... the record rocks.

Damn Daddy keep posin like that, u look hot!! U should have a photo/poetry book I'm sure you'll have her beat in the poetry department on your first written word.
New album does rock in a dancing to discoclash way.
