[QUOTE=Frozen99;19320857]They could praise it but I know what I heard and it wasn't her vocally strongest performance. Not saying I wasn't happy she did it, but, welp...
It was no Between the Bars, Oscars 95'/ 96' type performance but she still sounded great.
Madonna must have been going through her Frida Kahlo phase because that's the only logical explanation for those thick ass eyebrows. Just imagine had she waxed them and not have that atrocious 80s perm hair do.
Since Music came out, I don't think I was ever able to choose which version of 'What It Feels Like For A Girl' I like the best.
Album Version:
The spoken word monologue from 'The Cement Garden' always gets me, it fits so perfectly with the song. I've only looked up a synopsis of the book and from what I get is that the line comes from what roles and characteristics people have to take upon themselves in times of need.
Lo Que Siente La Mujer:
As far as I'm aware this is the only song that Madonna has sung fully in another language (let's not even pretend with Spanish Lesson ). It wasn't taken well because it was poorly translated or something, but I think that the performance from the Drowned World Tour is so beautiful. There are no male dancers on the stage, only androgynously dressed females dancing to a salsa/cha-cha theme, which as we know needs someone to 'take the lead' but having two females shows that woman can be leaders as well.
Above & Beyond Remix:
The infamous video that got banned for begin 'too violent'. I am in absolute love with the remix itself and the video is definitely one of Madonna's best that she's ever done. This takes the role reversal to the extreme, and shows Madonna breaking out of how a stereotypical woman is supposed to act. I used this video in my media class and pointed out that even when she's doing all of these things in front of the cops, they aren't phased by her probably because 'she's a woman and women shouldn't be doing this' until they feel threatened by the gun.
Just imagine had she waxed them and not have that atrocious 80s perm hair do.
