Sounds Like a Hit! video blog Ep. 18: Madonna's "Celebration"
Kyle and Bryan are serious Madonna fans. So serious in fact that you might call them Madonna scholars. This week they are in a bicoastal gay tizzy because Madonna is leaving Warner Brothers after 25 years and will soon be releasing a 2-disc, 34 greatest hits (plus 2 new songs) package called Celebration. 34 greatest hits? The boys think that's not nearly enough. What constitutes a Madonna "hit" anyway? Kyle and Ryan look through Madonna's huge catalog and compile their own seminal Madonna setlist. Check it out after the break! Submitted by on Wed, 2009-08-19 11:04. |

lol
You madonna fans are wired.I`ve always been a Kylie/Mariah/Janet fan and only like a few of madonna`s tracks so this episode seems a bit random to me. Still love you guys though. ;)
I'd take you on...
I don't believe in that scholar title, I'd freely take you both on in a course of madge-knowledge! But other than, good video.
This is the supposed final tracklist, in case you hadn't seen it (on mtribe). You guys were relatiely close, tho Dress You Up made it, You Must Love Me (even tho it's lyrics were teased on the cover) and Deeper and Deeper didn't. And she stuck us with Miles Away, yet again, instead of Give It 2 Me. But at least we're not stuck with the Immaculate Collection version of Into The Groove!

You Forgot....
WTF?
"Hollywood"? I freaking hate that song! No "You Must Love Me?" No "Sooner or Later"?
Has anyone ever done a greatest hits album featuring songs listed in order of thier original release? Depending on the country it's released in,of course,because not every country around the world is going to see the album with this particular tracklist.
Hollywood
From American Life album, Hollywood is the song that i like less, American Life or Love profusion are better, and Nothing fails is simply the best Madonna's song of this decade.
I miss Drowned world on that list
Hardest part
I think is trying to find an identity of this album. You had The Immaculate Collection which was genius at the time which recounted her 80's years right up through the turn of the decade with Vogue and a little taste of what was to come (Justify My Love). GHV2 handled the 90's pretty smoothly, picked from Erotica and Bedtime stories relatively well (save for the radio edit of Human Nature), and it found it's focus in Ray of Light and Music - her better received modern albums. In the meantime we had Something To Remember which had a focus and presented her best ballads, many of which were released as soundtrack singles.
So how do you create an album that should very well be the next step and be compromised of American Life/Confessions/Hard Candy singles, yet, because it's also supposed to be career-spanning since it's her last on Warner, and find a way to fit in a balanced selection. She's had 87 singles in her 26 year, some more memorable than others
Fans are going to complain regardless of what's picked, and ironically it's these fans who already likely have all her music. I'll eventually buy it, but I don't know if I'll pick it up on day one.
oh my god, i went through
oh my god, i went through the trouble of registering to this website because you guys call yourself Madonna "Scholars", yet forgot some of her songs. WTF. Who forgets "Lucky Star" from the first album, or "Erotica"??
Sorry but you two are indeed "Madonna has a fierece body and we love Holiday" fans.
