MADONNA REWATCH PARTY #1: Blond Ambition Tour & Truth or Dare - 10th April (19:00 BST)

[Sheena]

As much as I love it, and as much as it actually worked, I still wonder who thought Cherish was the right choice for the third single from that album.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I LOVE Niki's OVERPOWERING harmony at the 'I could NEVER FORGET TO....' bits in Cherish

 

[Alla]

Dear god, it can't get camper than this.

 

[Penelope]

Imagine being taken out by an ISIS bomber while watching this as a teenager

 

[Cerro de Casa]

As much as I love it, and as much as it actually worked, I still wonder who thought Cherish was the right choice for the third single from that album.

I think they wanted something bubblegummy back from her and it worked. LAP was too controversial, EY was sexy/anthemy and Cherish ticked the right POP boxes.

I still love it and think it's one of her most underrated songs.

 

[Lucille]

Come through JOANNA NEWSOM

 

[GNL]

This is high camp. I love Cherish even though it feels very unMadonna.

 

[Beverley]

All SLICK AND WET

Kevin looks gorgeous

 

[Penelope]

GETTING TIPPED BY THE FAG

 

[Penelope]

Come through JOANNA NEWSON

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Imagine being taken out by an ISIS bomber while watching this as a teenager

ISIS didn't exist back then but SADDAM HUSSEIN did and trust me, there WERE worries CHEZ SUEDE about THAT scenario!

Again, I kinda GET the reasoning behind it, but it's ENTIRELY unrepresentative of the album

 

[straightorbroken]

"I can't seem to figure out where the bottoms stop" - she knows her audience at least.

 

[Alla]

Those girls in front row, gayz wouldn't allow that these days.

 

[Lucille]

OMG she’s topping the mermaids.

 

[Christian]

I love Cherish too. Even the 6 minute extended mix doesn't outstay its welcome.

And that video

 

[Beverley]

OK that mermaid was SCARY

 

[straightorbroken]

Now we know where Kinga got her inspiration from.

 

[Penelope]

ISIS didn't exist back then but SADDAM HUSSEIN did and trust me, there WERE worries CHEZ SUEDE about THAT scenario!

I wonder what NOTED MARY J BLIGE FAN Saddam would've MADE of this

 

[Sheena]

Here's a question:

What song SHOULD have been here but wasn't?

PERSONALLY, I'd have loved to have seen a PROPERLY DARK Til Death Do Us Part follow Oh Father.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The bottle placement though. SUBTLETY has never been her strong point...

 

[Sheena]

HEY YOU DON'T BE SILLY!

 

[Alla]

Is she peeing?

 

[straightorbroken]

Donna not quite up to par with Madge n' Nick trick for a dick chat BIT.

 

[Sheena]

This and Vogue are Slam's FINEST MOMENTS

 

[Penelope]

This really was WRITTEN ENTIRELY BY GAY MEN WASN'T IT

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Here's a question:

What song SHOULD have been here but wasn't?

PERSONALLY, I'd have loved to have seen a PROPERLY DARK Til Death Do Us Part follow Oh Father.

LA ISLA BONITA for me

It was on the setlist and was rehearsed but she cut it out. I'd have had it after Cherish...

Gimme All Your Luvin

 

[Sheena]

And GABRIEL for that matter

 

[straightorbroken]

Into the Groove is one of the most supreme pop songs of all time, but it's not for me live at all.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

GET into the GROOVE....


Gosh this setlist

 

[Penelope]

LA ISLA BONITA ISN'T ON THE SETLIST?!

 

[Sheena]

I think this perhaps was my favourite performance of the night

 

[Sheena]

OMG at the segue from the chorus to the verse

 

[Penelope]

Wonder if Madonna's on PrEP these days

 

[Alla]

I'll never understand why she never released Into the groove as a single in the US.

 

[Beverley]

We might be lovers if the rhythm's right

 

[straightorbroken]

Okay the middle 8 sounds immense.

 

[Sheena]

Even in THIS DAY AND AGE, I find it UTTERLY ASTONISHING that Into The Groove was never a single in the US

 

[Lucille]

Into the Groove is one of the most supreme pop songs of all time, but it's not for me live at all.

Lucille Fact : I came 4th singing this at a karaoke contest in Mexico.
