Ten years of 'GAYLUV'

[Cerro de Casa]

Officially released on 4th Feb but I'm sure the demo leaked in January.

Anyway how will you celebrate this milestone?

 

[Jark]

delightfully amused by the contrast of our simultaneous threads right now darling

 

[RJN]

Coincidentally I lost my virginity in 2012, so it’s been 10 years of GAYLUV for me as well

 

[ZZ]

Not her best moment, if I may say

 

[RS]

I’ve gladly forgotten about it and I shudder when I get reminded of it. A zero would be too generous.

-23653/10

 

[RJN]

At the time I forced myself to like it, since I was so excited about her doing the super bowl halftime show. I never go back to it but don’t hate it. A 6?

 

[OutSynk]

It's a good pop song. No it's true it's true.

 

[Jark]

It's a good pop song. No it's true it's true.

it's not! but the shamelessly lipped super bowl perf does have a certain je ne sais quoi

 

[POP!]

Awful! I’ve actually warmed to the album in time, though…

 

[GNL]

I still maintain this sounded like it could have fit right in on RADIO DISNEY at the time.

Which is to say it SLAPS but its a bit beneath her.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I mean she disappeared for that long and the pop landscape completely changed in that time and she came back with this?
Even I wouldn't attempt to defend this.

 

[Jark]

with a fuller-voiced Madonna and slicker production, Turn Up the Radio could've been quite good! it's a fun song, her vocal is just DEMO MATERIAL.

but most of the album is shit! I still stan I Fucked Up quite a lot though. I think it's the one really great song from it.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Gurl Gon' Wah is my BOP of CHOICE from this car crash of an album.

Now THAT'S a turd.

 

[OutSynk]

I feel like we've had this conversation about a thousand times.

I know but it's extra special given the 10th anniversary.

 

[RJN]

I still like the unfortunately named Gang Bang

 

[Cerro de Casa]

FALLING FREE remains 10/10

[Cerro de Casa]

Turn Up the Radio is the worst

I actually prefer GAYLUV

 

[OutSynk]

Turn Up the Radio is the worst

It's not just too basic for Madonna, it's too basic for ANYONE.

 

[COB]

Yes, I find Turn Up The Radio quite insipid I'm afraid

 

[GNL]

The one where she boasts about hanging the Mona Lisa in the loo is nice

Yes and it should have been the first UK single. It had good Radio 2 support
We needed a lush video of the Queen in studio all glammed up, interspersed with footage from her Golden Globe winning and Oscar nominated film W.E.

 

[RS]

The only one I liked is Addicted (I think it was called).

 

[funky]

Genuinely don’t even remember how it goes

 

[POP!]

It's a good pop song. No it's true it's true.

 

[Pipo]

It's one of her worst moments for me, unfortunately, it would never trouble my Margarine Top 50.

Besides, I kinda dislike Necki Minej,

Love Spent FOR ME What a WASTED opportunity though it sounds awful nowadays, like if it was recorded inside a dishwasher,

 

[SystemAddict]

It sounds like it was fished from a bin of shelved Hilary Duff b-sides circa 2003.

 

[POP!]

Unpopular opinion but I think "Turn Up the Radio" would have been a much more appealing lead single for the masses and would have fit the Superbowl perf nicely. I guess she needed a track to shoehorn Minaj and MIA, although they could've easily delivered a verse or two to TUTR. That sound was very 2012 and it was more anthemic than GAYLUV.

 

[Dark Carnival]

The only one I liked is Addicted (I think it was called).

I'm A Dick, Ted remains one of the highlights of the (WTF) Is MDNA album.

Which reminds me - given the 10th year anniversary of the album also, I wonder if Madonna and Warner Records will choose MDNA to kick start the reissue campaign? I mean her current management is so off the mark I wouldn't even be surprised!

 

[straightorbroken]

I still think it could have been grunged up into her Bohemian Like You, but as is remains abysmal. A drag n' drop from Taylor Swift's rejects. Video was fine.

 

[straightorbroken]

I chose 5 probably more because I relate to the tag

GAYLUV (Madonna's Version) anyone?

I’m at the gym and omg

Shocked at hollow and tuneless this is it’s a lot worse than I remember it.

 

[RS]

Oh yes, I’ve now skipped to the highlight of the album, namely the VB inspired Best Friend.

 

[RS]

@Suedey you made me laugh, you had a clever wit, I miss the good times, I don’t miss all of ITTTT
