Blond Ambition's LAP is my fave, that whole chapel-themed segment is basically one of the greatest things she ever did. RIT version comes next, v good performance.
Omg WHO deleted a post and made my Hard Candy post disappear to the previous page?!?!
Let me post it here again!

Tom Young from Blender gave a positive review saying "On Hard Candy, she's like an aging master thief sneaking into the temple of pop goodies for one last big score. Album 11 is good-naturedly smutty, not confrontationally nasty, but it's a veritable filth bath compared to the C-SPAN sermons and confessional strumming of 2003's dreadful American Life or the woozily self-actualized club trance of 2005's Confessions on a Dance Floor." Kerri Mason from Billboard complimented the new sound and the musical direction taken by Madonna but felt that she had become a producer's puppet, leading her to comment that "Madonna makes producers, producers don't make Madonna."Chris Willman from Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B+ and said "[Madonna] makes it work with this surprisingly rejuvenated set."Mike Collett-White from Reuters reported: "As parting gifts go, Madonna's 11th studio album—and her last before she exits long-term record label Warner Bros.—is unusually generous, if early reviews are to be believed. [...] Hard Candy scored solidly among rock critics."
There's a quote in the show along the lines of: that many people are called The Queen but as their husbands die they become Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth etc but the one who is in power is simply The Queen.
So ATRL, your other faves can be called Queen but Madonna is THE Queen.
Please. Somebody tell me I'm not the only one who loves this dress. Classic Chanel. A STRONG Orry-Kelly tea. I just wish it was worn by a woman who wasn't only 5'4". Although I must admit it's working wonders for her lil gym-sprite body, at least in this pic. Her best look of the year tbh. With the Roseland promo tetas look a distant second.

I just began watching that! I'm very anxious to keep going, the House of Windsor, particularly during the time the first season covers, fascinates me.
