I'm burning up, burning up for your VOTES! — ILM Artist Poll #31 is Madonna

I actually like "Don't Stop" more than most but the second half of that album is deep cut central.

Love that story xps, though iirc if you're 17 your dad could lead off with Groove Is In The Heart and you'd still want to curl up and die

yeah apparently madonna forbids herself a lot of love

i can relate tbh

"Can't Stop"!!!

"The Look of Love" was the discovery. I think I'd heard it just once (never released as an American single). It's the last of the Leonardified "La Isla Bonita"-"True Blue" sound but with a poignant melody. Not a classic, but worth checking out.

haha somehow i never clocked that she has completely different songs on different albums called "Forbidden Love," wtf Madonna

i think this is literally the most annoying thing madonna has ever done

like DOES SHE NOT CONSIDER MY METADATA WHEN NAMING HER SONGS WTF

It turns out loads of artists do that! These polls are an education.

WHY would you do that? why why whyyyyyyyyyyyy

things like that make me wonder if Madonna is even a 'singles artist' to herself -- like anything that wasn't big enough to stay in her stage show past the initial album cycle, could she hum it now?

She's never seemed terribly sentimental about her own songs. I think that's too her credit, and also why despite getting pegged, sometimes, these days as a nostalgia act, her live shows really don't bear that dismissal out. Even her hits are often radically remade.

The Dylan influence. (Not kidding--my guess is she studies and knows her pop history quite well.)

yeah she has said repeatedly that "Material Girl" is "garbage."

which is ... stupid

when i first heard material girl i played it about 500 times

like, my family was upset

I'd love to see her own ballot for this

if you're 17 your dad could lead off with Groove Is In The Heart and you'd still want to curl up and die

To be honest, I'd have felt far more comfortable if he'd played that and danced on the pool table

think she hates "material girl" more because of the nickname that has followed her ever since. she said it is the one single she regrets

yeah, i was about to say

"Material Girl" is definitely on my songs ballot AND my videos ballot

iirc she said her fav single is "live to tell"

tho its probably "la isla bonita" considering the amount she sings it.

Good interview.

la isla bonita is nice and all but the amount of love it gets is weird to me

it's like she pressed the latin button on her casio and came up wit a diddy

xpost Does she ever open up like that anymore, or is she fully in gated community/live in a castle mode these days?

it's like she pressed the latin button on her casio and came up wit a diddy

closer to the mark re "Who's That Girl"

I read that like One Night Only! Maonna Live! In A Castle

would see imo

Surely she's done that?

One More Chance: Madonna Live in a Castle

Madonna's Instagram Account Threatened to Be Shut Down For 'Mature Content'

oh god i just remembered "Me Against The Music." the only high profile Madonna guest appearance? i assume nobody is crazy enough to vote for it, right?

Hey everyone, Madonna here. Check out my worst look:

P.S. Has anyone seen my pants? Chilly.

it's still so weird/funny to me that the Xtina kiss that immediately followed is basically obscure trivia because they didn't get it on camera during the broadcast. i wonder if the director of the show screwed up or if the plan was such a well kept secret that the people in the control room had no idea what was coming? xp

i really can't look at that look

That night was the closest either Xtina or Britney would ever get to Madonna.

She gave them career mono.

she looks like a Voltron character

That Courtney Love segment is well within Lola Heatherton/Sammy Maudlin territory.

not worse than:

it's really pretty amazing and kurt is awesome xp

At least Brit Brit looks like she's going to fall out of that in a good way.xpost

she looks like Magneto is pulling her towards his hands, already cupped and ready.
