It was like the party ended after Jump, though. Like some switched the NWA record with Anne Murray.

She needs to put out some completely mad eclectic bullshit. Fuck record sales, just go completely off the radar. Madge meets Yoko Ono meets Psychedelic Nausea-Inducing Dayglo Pap meets Prog. Produced by Joe Meek's ghost. I just don't want Madonna to be boring. And I really think she is now.

Off the radar Madonna would suck. The great thing about her music up until recently has been that it was always interesting without ever sacrificing accessibility.
I don't want to see her do that Radiohead thing, where they tried to distract from the fact they couldn't top OK Computer by going all left field.
If she can't be interesting the way she always has in the past (amazing singles that genuinely kick the piss out of everybody elses) I'd rather she just retire.

I sort of wish she retired after Music. She dug herself out of that mid-90's rut of shitty ballads and show tunes and just kept getting better for a while. Ray of Light to Beautiful Stranger to Music to Don't Tell Me.

Then again, I wouldn't put it past her to surprise everybody again. Sometimes I think I'm sick of Madonna, and other times I unabashedly want to lick her ass, because what she's done over the span of her career is pretty amazing.

No, I think she should totally sacrifice accessibility. If she's going to try to chase the zeitgeist, she'll just end up sadder and sadder. She needs to break away, and totally out-there insane bollocks would help. Though it probably needs to be clearly signposted, so people don't think that she was trying to sell squillions with it and failed.

I like her and all, but she could yet become Cliff Richard. Don't let it happen.

I can hear the call and replies between Timbo, JT and Madge already and it doesn't sound good. Maybe it'll be hot, I doubt it. I will admit that the shitty quality clip I heard of '4 Minutes' sounded damn catchy, a lot like Timbaland's usual stuff though.

I agree with the Erotica statement. It's one of the only songs that makes me want to fuck IMMEDIATELY.
