Bedingfield's new found respect for Madonna




Posted: 27 September 2007 - From contactmusic.com
Natasha Bedingfield has newfound respect for Madonna after she struggled covering the Queen of Pop's hit song Ray Of Light. The pretty British singer tackled the 1998 song for an album celebrating Radio 1's 40th birthday. She says, 'I have so much respect for Madonna after learning how hard it is to sing that song. She has an amazing voice - the range you need to sing the song is incredible.'

ffs, merge.

You have to learn to stop posting new Madge threads. You have your corner of KR. Go fuck yourself in it.

Madonna has an amazing voice? Since when?!

Since she found out how to fix her voice without sounding like Cher.

ahahaha.

the cunt was just being diplomatic. that song is processed to the tits. anybody who saw madge sing it at live 8 knows she cant sing worth shit.

if she thinks madge has a great voice i would hate to hear her sing without protools or the whole lipsynching in concert thing.

oh wait...madonna does that too.

my post is useless.

Basically, chicks who can actually sing need to start, like, making some music and stuff.

fuck i hate ray of light.

to think i thought of it as a madonna renaisannce when it was released.

and now i can't think of a single song in her canon i'm more sick of hearing.

The album's got some good stuff on it, and the production's fantastic, but the song itself is so unnecessary.

it is one of Madonna's best songs and that is her voice, period.

I agree. I never thought it was needed as a bloody single. It should have stayed as an album track that I mostly skipped and occasionally got most of the way through before I realised I hadn't moved on to the next one.
I haven't listened to the album in years. I ought to. I still haven't listened to American Life the whole way through, or Confessions at all. I just bought them out of a bin because I figured they were so cheap it was almost harder not to have them.
I'm assuming Confessions actually sounds like Madonna's vile bits trying to break out of her leotard?

Confessions has some good bits, but it's far from being her best.

You should give AL a chance though, I really think the single screwed that whole album.

I will. I just buy loads of albums and it's hard to put AL near the top of my list of records I need to digest.

Ray of light is a hard song to sing.

please, why are people so quick to label Madonna bombs as great?? American Life sucks, it only like 4 good songs wich are Hollywood, American Life, Nothing Fails and I would say XStatic Process and that's it, it's a shit album.

And Madonna's American Life video FIASCO didn't help the album AT ALL. If she had had the balls(and I never thought in MY LIFE I would say this) to release that video everything would've been different.

She chickened out, period, for the first time ever Madonna became afraid of the backlash and I think it was unnecessary, the video was anti war so seriously who was she offending?? it was art and it wasn't going to save anyone's life and I don't think she and her family would've been endangered by it, it was just a dumb dumb move to MAKE THAT VIDEO and second to can the video.

And it's ironic because the video has nothing to do with the song.

My take on the video?? I would've made Madonna a 1950's plastic housewife like the stepford wives completely trapped by reality and daily life and all that kabbalah shabang, but that's just me I don't make her videos, so.

it's the same with dangerous game, all of a sudden it's a GENIUS Madonna performance and it proves that she can act bla BLA BLA IT'S A SHIT MOVIE, IT DOENSN'T EVEN HAVE A PLOT!

Excuse me. We know you love it.

He should write his own Wiki entry and see how long it stays up. I'll argue tooth-and-nail in the discussion pages for it to be retained.

bort, I think that's a SMASHING idea. It'll probably just be merged with the omphaloskepsis article though...
