I think that album version sucks. The first demo that leaked was everything! It was so simple, just Madonna and orchestra, beautiful melody - this was it. Then she added all those drums, filters etc. and from my favourite became (almost) the only one that I don't like to listen to from the whole album... Also, I think that "Unapologetic Bitch" should have been a single - but I can't imagine a promo performance with this song, like she did in various TV shows. The other ones I would choose as a single are: "Iconic", "Devil Pray", "Illuminati". But, let's be honest, if "Ghosttown" failed - and it was Madonna's best single since "Hung Up" - was there any other song from "Rebel Heart" that would make it better?

OMG, choosing three songs from one era is hard to do, so choosing three song from the whole career is so damn hard. 1. "Live To Tell" - my fave of AAAALLL time. nothing nothing nothing 2. "Music" - after 17 years it still sounds suprisingly fresh, modern and catchy! 3. "Nothing Fails" - no song after 2003 gave me so much emotions as this one (well, maybe the demo of "Messiah", because the album version is... meh)

OK, my list is not in order, but: - "Intro + Iconic" - it's obvious, the 'are you with me?' moment, M. in a cage, for me one of her best tour opener - "Dress You Up Medley" - I wasn't a fan of this version watching it on youtube before seeing the show, but when I was standing in front of Madonna herself having fun, those amazing smiling dancers, loud music - I loved it. - "Unapologetic Bitch" - was I the only one practicing dance routine before the show dreaming that "tonight I'll be an unapologetic bitch of the evening!"...? - "Candy Shop" - I'm surpised that almost everyone in this thread mentions this song, when everyone was like "God, please no Candy Shop this time!" before the tour started. Comparing three tour versions (S&ST, MDNA, RHT) this is me favourite and one of the highlights of the show. - "Holy Water" - remember when I was watching live stream of the opening night from Montreal, I couldn't believe what I saw - it's crazy, but it is pure Madonna: religious, scandalous, sexy.

All of the singles released in the 80's was OK, none of the others songs from those albums would sell better. In the 90's I think that it would be great if "Skin" would be a single, but I wouldn't change it for any other instead, so releasing the sixth single is pointless. 00's - definately "Impressive Instant"! This song is craaazyyy! It fits perfectly after "Music", would be massive hit! Also, as many of you, I think that "Nothing Fails" DESERVES a proper music video, but for me singles from "American Life" were chosen rightly. The same situation is with "COADF", I like the singles, but let's be honest - every song is as goog as it could be a single. The problem starts with "Hard Candy" and continues to "Rebel Heart". So here are my top songs that I'd put as a singles: - "4 Minutes" (OK, I don't like it, but it's pretty catchy) - "Miles Away" (maybe would be a hit as a second single with a proper video) - "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" (a modern pop ballad - why not?) - "Masterpiece" (this song won a Golden Globe, even had a chart performance with a lack of promotion - what's wrong with you, Madonna?!) - "I'm Addicted" (I just love this song, OMG, can you imagine it with a strange, dark, odd video?) - "Love Spent" (a radio hit, but more ambitious than "GMAYL", or "TUTR") - "Gang Bang" (Tarantino video, wild Madonna with a gun, we all dream about it...) - "Beautiful Killer" (there's no chance for the fifth single, but it such a shame this song almost dissapeared on the second disc...) - "Living For Love" (it was perfect) - "Ghosttown" (again, the song was on point, not fair it didn't succeed) - "Unapologetic Bitch" (instead of contoversial "BIM", a great song with a summer vibe) - "Iconic" (those lyrics <3 even with a video from RHT backdrop) But that's only my opinion

So true. Especially nowadays, when the success of next album is not so obvious. I wish she would stop working with Diplos, Timbalands, Benassis etc., and take somebody out from 'the underground', as she did with, for example, Mirwais. I think that see needs to think about fans. Of course, she'll have new ones when she'll be collaborating with top producers, so maybe I can understand those decissions, but I'd be so proud of her supporting talented, yet unknown artists. Comparing "MDNA" and "Rebel Heart" I think that it's going in the right direction, both lyrically and musically, but it's a looooong way from the last album to "American Life".

Wow, guys, why are worried about the regions, are you really buying those BR / DVDs to watch them? Mine are just standing on a shelf and just looking good Anyway, IDK if the other collectors know it, but Universal Music Poland just annouced that there will be also released polish CD-version of "Rebel Heart Tour"... Gosh, all I need is just to rob a bank...

this is me when I even think of "American Life" album. Every single song is brilliant. I love the way acoustic guitar meets electro sound. There are a few Madonna's songs that literally makes me cry, and most of them are from this album. "Intervention", "X-Static Process", "Easy Ride", but the the one that's the most emotional for me is "Nothing Fails". I have read somewhere that there was a plan of making the video for it in Israel, such a shame it didn't happen... Speaking of the album, I'm in love with the unreleased songs that leaked. My favourite one is "Miss You". I love it so much that it's one of my fave song of all time, not even the AL era. I really love when M is doing spectacular show with lots of crazy things happen on stage, but I adore her little acoustic concerts like Cantine de Faubourg, HMV performance etc... Madonna and a guitar is all I need - that's why this era is so special for me.

she needs to hire Giovanni Bianco back.

Done. You guys made me realize how perfect this album is for me ;)

This video is not available in my country, I'm gonna die.

Well, I quite like it too, this is the kind of montage I expected, but for me the angles are completely random.

OOOOOOOMMMMGGGGGG! Only 2 days left! I just can't wait.

Now I find I've changed my mind. I vote for "Has To Be".

Aaahh... I would vote for "Has To Be", but it's not on the poll... So I hesitate between "Swim" and "To Have And Not To Hold", but I think I'll choose the second one.

IDK, I'm OK with Madonna singing the oldies. For us, the fans, they may be boring, because we know ALL of her song and some of us are about to vomit hearing for example "La Isla Bonita" for the 6542674682478247072486th time. But we have to remember that there are also the others that pays money to see her show and they first of all want to hear her old hits, I think. So Madonna have to do some kind of things to satisfy them and us - she plays those songs but in new versions. And that's fine for me. Of course in my dreams I have a vission of Madonna singing "Love Won't Wait", "Dear Father" or even "Voices", but is it possible? Maybe in the times of small, intimate, private performances anything is possible, let's pray for that.

It's hard to decide for me, cause Hung Up is a huge disco anthem, all live performances was great, but Living For Love is a song with a deeper meaning, the lyrics, the music makes emotions comes out... Well, I'm living for Living For Love.

OMG, Madonna looks much younger than Kate Moss btw, is it only me or is she really looks much better in London that in the other places in the world?

no, it's not a bad song, but she made A LOT of better ones. honestly I love the video, it's funny, Madonna looks great in it. the song was made for the superbowl and it fits well for that so I don't think she'll use it again. although the MDNA tour performance was GORGEOUS!!! to see this dance routine from the (almost) first row was the best thing that could happen

Oh, the discussion about which one's better, the demo or the final edit has already started ;) I'm just wondering what would it be if one day all the demos from, let's say, "Like a Prayer" leak. How many of us would change our minds about favourite tracks (and finally about the whole album) comparing them to the demo versions? Would it be like: "OMG, all my life I loved "Express Ypurself", but the demo is much better!"?

I love "Rebel Heart", it's my favourite right next to "American Life". The are SOOOO many good songs there, especially all the ballads are just great - Madonna at her best. My favourite track is "Living For Love". It really makes my cry! The album version is so powerful it should be performed during Rebel Heart Tour instead of this crappy remix. When I heard LFL for the first the I almost saw myself shouting 'living for loooove, living for looooooooove!' onstage next to Madonna ;)

OMG, I just cannot answer this question. When I saw the poll I realized that most of my favourite songs are from movies. "Live to Tell", "Time Stood Still", "Die Another Day", "This Used To Be My Playground", "Gabler".... Too hard to choose the best one.

+ - it sounds great, even in the demo version. I also love the lyrics. ("Should I carry on? Will it matter when I'm gone?" <#3 ) - - the intro. I don't like how "Jump" ends and gets into "How High" - then the non-stop album just stops.... Next: The Gipsy Medley from Rebel Heart Tour :D
