Love Crave SO MUCH

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Crave is so beautiful in spite of her Adriana-mumble attempt at the start.

 

[Tisch]

Definitive version of course sung by mystery masked mooper Toppy Carrot

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Actually, do you know what, it's grown on me.

[Cerro de Casa]

Crazy.

 

[Iguana]

Crazy is a tiny bit of a bop

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Cerro de Casa]

This album is such an album's ALBAM and she was a big masterclass in that realm as a pop artisté but slipped after Confessions and therefore the significance of Madame X as a return to form should not be underestimated.

 

[Iguana]

She's seen a lot of Stranger Things

GOOD FOR HER!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Crazy is fun and I like her vocal on it (for once on this album) but yeah, it should have probably been relegated to the 'standard' edition and it wasn't needed live.

 

[Iguana]

I didn't think she watched TV though

I thought it was fantastic live!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I didn't think she watched TV though

That was during the Guy Ritchie years. Thank goodness those days are behind us.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I thought it was fantastic live!

I would have preferred a full on version of La Isla with the same choreography.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I didn't think she watched TV though

Where is her song about FORT BOYARD please?

[Beverley]

Crazy is lovely

 

[Iguana]

HERE WE GO!

 

[Tisch]

Hmm I used to enjoy Crazy a lot more than I'm enjoying it tonight. It's officially GROWN OFF.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Come
Alive

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh, this has my attention

 

[Tisch]

Omg the finale-not finale of Come Alive was a moment and a HALF on the tour, and to be honest, my life.

 

[Beverley]

Oh god, I’ve just joined and I’m already behind

 

[Tisch]

I wouldn't mind if she sang with a bit more JOY. But I'll take it.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh god, I’ve just joined and I’m already behind

Poor bitch

 

[lolly]

There are elements of this album where she's been the most interesting she's been for decades

 

[Iguana]

I wouldn't mind if she sang with a bit more JOY. But I'll take it.

*Deadpan* come alive come alive

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Come Alive had the live effect on me in that it's ok on the album but on the album with the vibrant colours it was just so beautiful
It really reinforced her message of diversity and multiculturalism which she has been going on about since day 1 (and not it's not appropriation ok hateful gays? Now go somewhere else)

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I wouldn't mind if she sang with a bit more JOY. But I'll take it.

I think that is still my main issue with the album. If the vocals were just normal (no one wanted ROL era Vox ok - just normal Vox even like RH era okrrr) then it would have probably been in my top 3 Madonna albums ever. Songwriting is great, lyrics generally good and production is top notch. I am still not sure I buy her official explanation that it was an 'artistic choice' to modify her vocals so much to contrast futuristic sounds with traditional music.

 

[lolly]

See I can actually HEAR the joy in Come Alive. It's one of the things I like most about it.
