Ok at me being the only "heart" for Nobody's Perfect. I mean, yes, the auto-tune is a mess, but everything else is flawless.

Only sad about "Nobody's Perfect" and "Supernatural" 
am in a love / hate relationship with "Some Girls",
some days I think it's the worst on the album, then I love it again for what it is + the production kinda slays.
(still can't believe William Orbit produced it tho  )
The concept / idea behhind "Shame" is cute for Erotica but the way she sings it isn't
I still use it occasionally tho

Rebels (0): eli's_rhythm (1): Eeveelution, Brunette Ambition, XStaticProcess
Host commentary - I was actually a little shocked when I saw this placed so low. It has never been my favorite from MDNA, but I was under the impression that it was a fan fave of that album. I like the lyrics, but I don't love how her voice is buried under the production for this. I think a more refined sound of songs like this and I'm Addicted mixed with synth ballads like Falling Free could have made MDNA a better album though.
Guest commentary
mrmikefern - Fast-food ****ography BOP! A mess but I love ha.
Eeveelution- Some songs have tragic production. Some songs have tragic vocals. Some songs have tragic lyrics. Some songs have all three!
eli’s_rhythm - much like “I’m So Stupid,” it’s unlistenable from the beginning. The difference is that it doesn’t improve from there
Subomie - It's no Rachel Stevens.

Album: Hard Candy
Rank within album: 8th of 14
Hearts (10): ilovemusic432, Shaliydah88
Rebels (1): conatus, Vilppu
Host commentary - Again, think it is better than it is due to the MDNA medley with Best Friend. In actuality it is a mess production wise and has almost no melody.
Guest commentary
Vilppu - One of the slower Hard Candy cuts with a drum, electronic beat... is just insufferable. The breathless vocals and the awful chorus are just too much to take.
Subomie- Very cute and kind of reminds me of her 80s stuff in a way. Then the "see my booty get down like" comes on and ruins my point.

Rebels (1): iC0NIC, Humoresque, XStaticProcess
Host commentary - I love sexy Madonna, but I think this track could have been flawless if a few change were made.
1. Justin Timberlake GTFO
2. Take out the sexy times...honestly this could have been a perfect simple euphoric dance bop, but as it is now it is overstuffed. I don’t want this to read me as attacking her for being sexual. And I want her to keep her sexuality in her music. But some songs work better without it and I think this one could have
3. Hire a better album producer
Guest commentary
Pandora - A gem (and missed single) on Hard Candy. Sparkly, sexy and fun BOP - the chorus and musical breakdown parts are divine.
Subomie - Love Sex Magic 0.5
LoveLiveMusic - I just love this song. It’s a great album cut that’s just fun dance club song. The ‘diamonds and pearls’ line and the production of the song drew early comparisons to Prince, and given their longtime history together I’m sure Madonna took warm heartedly. The sound to be sounds very similar to Duran Duran and given that Justin Timberlake had 2 years previously worked as a producer on their album isn’t surprising.

It's time those tragic ROL demos were punched, kicked, battered and gassed.

What even the **** is wrong with people to do "Dance 2legends", "HeartCHRIST" and "Some Gods" like that? All top 20 ~iconicque~, holy and undeniable smashes that got away.
The lack of basic, simple human TASTE in this fan base.

My favorite thing is that Up Down Suite, a song that is literally just a 12 minute beat with a few lines from Madonna thrown in has outlasted all of these songs and made top 100.

Up Down Suite is tangentially related to GTI, so it's automatically beyond reproach.

Well, Up Down Suite is better than nearly all of the eliminated tracks so I would expect it to outlast them.

About time Nobody's Perfect is gone. The whispering is just as bad as the autotune, it makes me physically uncomfortable when listening to the song and that never happens
More HC and MD N/A eliminations

I agree that I Love New York could have lasted longer, but idk if you should be calling other people out on THEIR taste levels.

Hearts (10): enxe
Rebels (0): Reverie (1): tylerlscwv, Vilppu, HonourableVomit
Host commentary - Do I get what she is trying to do and say with this? Yes. Does this make it any less annoying and unpleasant to listen to? No. Madge should really leave autotune to the queen of experiments in autotune, Cher.
Guest commentary
HonourableVomit - now... I don't want to skull drag her in her moment of vulnerability so I'll keep it cute. I will say that the autotune, while understandable for the whole "covering up flaws" theme of the song, is an assault on good taste. The less said about this song the better. The only real dud on Music.
Vilppu - Nobody's Perfect should be played to every beginning artist as a "how not to use auto-tune" guide.
Subomie - The weak link for me unfortunately but points for the audacity to pepper a song called Nobody's Perfect with autotune. The bridge is better I guess.
mrmikefern - That outro >>>>>
Alongoria13 - This song speaks to me at a personal level, but I do understand why so many people loathe it.

ugh i gave it an 8, i'm so sorry guys, this song deserves better

Tragic update!
So many great bops lost...
obviously Dance 2Night and Heartbeat being the the most unexcusable ones at this (still so early) point.
And I honestly don't get the hate for Nobody's Perfect
Amid all the tragedy I was awestruck the most at those saying ILNY is actually better than Isaac 
The lines "wrestle with your darkness/angels call your name/can you hear what they are saying? /will you ever be the same? " makes it lightyears better than that "other places make me feel like a dork " piece of **** 
The respective performances at the Confessions Tour are the final nails on the coffin of this pointless comparison.
Unmeasurable messT

Those Hard Grammy punch-outs have left me stressed and lost, but anyone claiming "I Love New York" is better than "Isaac" needs to just go back to the Taylor Swift base. Queen Madonna her artistry will not be questioned.
