You're mine too but she released masterpieces like 'Live to Tell', 'Spanish Eyes' or 'Oh Father' in the 80s therefore let's not get ahead of ourselves

I know him and I know he's a big fan, he's just very opinionated about her "trying to be still hip and down with the youth"

If we count 'Music' to the 90s decade (since the new one starts with the year 2001), I agree, I might prefer 00s (AL & COADF) over her dated debut and LAV and (sans singles and White Heat) extremely outdated Tru Blu

Of course! I can listen to that album through and through, over and over. She picked such strong singles for it too. I've been falling asleep the past few nights to Erotica and Bedtime Stories (and finally listened to Bedtime Stories in depth last night). So sensual yet loving. Wanna snuggle with my boyfriend while listening.
If anyone ever wants me to make avatars from old Madonna music videos, feel free to let me know. It's so much easier to make than the newer stuff and I like my output so far.

I love her Insta so ****ing much 
Is the hinting at an I'm Breathless aesthetic for M13? 
I stanned hard for Erotica/BS a couple weeks ago when I got the vinyl (!) of Erotica finally. Her album run from LAP (89) to RoL (98) is just like...how? Such consistently strong albums for an entire decade.  No wonder she's the Queen of Pop.

Guys, here's an interesting article about Madonna almost being dropped from Warner back in 1994 . Personally , I don't believe in it but it's an interesting reading anyway ....
Quote:
Madonna almost dropped from Warner Brothers in 1994.
...
Even if Madonna doesn’t release an album this year, her fans can be happy that she is still recording music. I can exclusively tell you that Madonna’s musical career almost came to a complete stop in 1994, when Warner Brothers was considering dropping Madge and her label, Maverick, which was underperforming.
Madonna’s musical career did rebound with the “I’ll Remember” single, the Bedtime Stories album and, especially, the amazing Ray of Light album. She owes the surprise success of her label Maverick to Guy Oseary. Had she been dropped by Warner Brothers in 1994, it’s doubtful another record company would pick up what many described as “damaged goods.”
Let’s go back to 1992. Everything was going absolutely perfect in Madonnaland, until she decided to release her book Sex. Warner Brothers was completely against this book. Madonna’s manager, Freddy DeMann, secretly agreed with Warner Brothers. Behind the scenes, Madonna’s longtime publicist Liz Rosenberg was telling people that Madonna was about to make a mistake she would soon come to regret. However, Madonna was such a powerful force that nobody could deny what she wanted. She released the book and the backlash happened.
Madonna will probably never admit just how bad the backlash was, but it was horrific. Madonna’s life was threatened and half of her staff were forced to quit in order to protect their lives. Madonna’s father was severely beaten in a parking lot when going shopping in January of 1993. Madonna’s siblings received several death threats. Madonna’s manger was threatened. Warner Brothers, in Burbank, received several bomb threats. They never went public with the threats, because that would have produced more threats. :-?
The album Erotica, now considered a masterpiece, got lost in the backlash. The album initially shipped over 2 million copies, but many of those unsold copies were shipped back. Radio programmers were besieged with callers asking them not to play any of Madonna’s songs. Madonna, who was initially in denial about the backlash, confronted Warner Brothers chairman Mo Ostin and asked him why Warner Brothers wasn’t supporting her. “Do you realize that you just threw away your career and legacy,” he answered. Madonna, reportedly, was in tears.
Some say Madonna was brave to tour in the midst of–perhaps–the biggest celebrity backlash in entertainment history. But it wasn’t Madonna’s decision; Warner Brothers wanted to get back some of the money they invested in her multi-million dollar deal earlier in 1992. They thought that Madonna would be worthless within a couple of years. Reluctantly, Madonna started her Girlie Show World Tour. It sold far more tickets than anybody ever expected. But Warner Brothers still wasn’t Madonna friendly.
In August of 1993, Madonna demanded that the record company finance the release of a new single and video called “Bye Bye Baby.” Her latest single “Rain” received a pretty decent response, despite the album Erotica being declared dead. Warner Brothers refused her request and Madonna was furious. The woman who ruled the world one year earlier was asked to leave the premises and threatened with security guards. Yes, it was that bad! Alek Keshishian, who was directing the Warner Brothers film With Honors in Chicago, called the next day and asked the record company to let Madonna sing the theme song to his film.
Producer Patrick Leonard, who wanted nothing to do with Madonna anymore, reluctantly agreed to put the song together so Madonna could record it in January of 1994–right after the end of her upcoming world tour. Madonna and Patrick Leonard rekindled their friendship during the short recording session. The song was released to radio during the second week of March in 1994.
Initially, “I’ll Remember” was well received. But when Madonna appeared on David Letterman’s show later that month, all hope was lost. Radio stations started slowing rotation of the song. The night of April 7, 1994, Freddy DeMann (not Madonna) received a call informing him that Warner Brothers cancelled their street team promotion of “I’ll Remember” and that the label has no interest in releasing her next album. In other words, they wanted to drop her.
However, there were legal issues involved, especially with Madonna’s contract and Maverick label. On April 8, DeMann–without even informing Madonna of the call–went to Warner Brothers and had harsh words with Mo Ostin, who actually resigned from the label a couple months later. The conversation was about how people deserve second chances. He convinced Ostin that Madonna would tone down her image and was currently working on what would be her best album to date (he lied). The conversation is one of two things that saved Madonna from being dropped into obscurity.
The second thing that saved Madonna was the fact that despite the backlash from her David Letterman appearance, “I’ll Remember” became a huge hit. It peaked at number two for four weeks and proved that Madonna had some life left in her. Madonna then started a campaign to change her image and let Warner Brothers know that they wouldn’t have to worry about her being oversexed.
Something else happened, thanks to Guy Oseary. He signed the group Candlebox to Maverick Records, which ended up turning profits for the label. With the help of Freddy DeMann, Oseary soon signed Alanis Morisette to Maverick, which helped even more. Madonna worked hard behind the scenes to help Maverick as well, but it was Guy Oseary’s decisions that really made the label a success.
Within the next year, Madonna released Bedtime Stories, had another number one song and signed on to play the starring role in the movie Evita. By the release of Ray of Light in 1998, Warner Brothers probably regretted almost dropping their biggest star.

I would LIVE if she experimented with Jazz again and yes her IG is life. All hail the new Queen of IG  . Honestly, no one else has been able to release so many albums within 10 years and have consistency with every single one.

I can honestly believe it people hated Madonna so much during this era and yes I can believe the death threats and such as people really didn't like strong women who weren't afraid to flaunt their sexuality. I mean people still struggle with this concept now

I think that may be the case . Even though Erotica "flopped" by her standards back then , The Sex Book was a major success and Warner profited bucketloads of money from it. I really don't see Madonna touring with The Girlie Show over pressure either. Back then she used to take a 3 year break between tours so, I'm more than sure that TGS was in her plans either way.
They also say Warner 'refused' to make her a video for Bye Bye Baby BUT, she had extremelly expensive videos accompanying all of her singles (apart form Erotica, but that was intentional) : Deeper and Deeper, Fever, Bad Girl and Rain , which means she had 5 videos out of a 'flop' album.
One more thing, I really can't portrait Madonna in tears like they also say in this article .
If that was the case she would've never given that interview to David Letterman and, most importantly, recorded Human Nature for Bedtime Stories.
A song in which she says that she's " Not Sorry" and has "Absolutely No Regrets".
I'm sure she felt the need to tone down her image but that was it .
