Just saw the Grammys promo on CBS- the last one announced in this spot, "The One and Only... MADONNA."

Well, there have been other Madonnas, including her mother- but, "one and only" is swifter than saying, "Greatest, most important and revered female artist of the last 30+ years, and one/of for all time..." But, that goes without sayin'- hence, "The One and Only Madonna." Everyone has their favorites, but there's no debating Madonna's status as an artist/entertainer in the biz.

You forgot Best Selling Female Artist in the world. Other than that, it was an accurate post. :)

There is some pathetic petition on change.org to get people to trash Madonnas performance at the Grammys and Praise Gaga's performance. It includes hashtags to use and ways to get it to trend. So awful.

We need Angela Cheng on the case She's probably behind this, knowing full well what the reaction would be and that the plan will "backfire" - as intended. Don't feed the troll basically.

Ignore the Gaga fans! Anyway, the album has supposedly leaked. I want it. Keep in mind that I purchased it too, so I wouldn't be stealing.

So awful. There's always awkward trolling around Madonna, Lady Gaga and Mariah Carey. The petition was probably started by the same person that made up "Team Lamb."

She's probably going to release the album early due to the leak, possibly on the day after the Grammy performance?

So ridiculous. Whatever, can't wait for the Grammy performance and music video! And I'm excited to hear all the new songs whenever Madonna officially releases them. Just sad that it seems this era will come and go, I don't think she will be too invested in releasing any more singles after having to deal with this crap.

It's extremely problematic that it has leaked in full now. If it were going to be actually released next week, it would make sense that it surfaced now because albums usually do surface like this within that time frame, but still it's not good that it did. But if they really were still going to release it in March and it all leaked out now, this is really bad. I think they should just put it on iTunes right after the Grammy performance so people can run to their computers and phones and buy it while the performance is still fresh in their minds and they are excited.
I don't think she and/or her team leaked the demos and/or work-in-progress versions and now the full album because that would just be bad. I am more inclined to believe that someone else who had access to them either in their team or from outside did it. I do think that some of the clips and snippets that surfaced in the past were leaked by them intentionally to generate a buzz and test the waters. Madonna could have easily scrapped the entire project because of all the leaks, but she didn't (thankfully).

Thank GOD this is not another MDNA sized mess. It's similar to American Life and MDNA in the sense that there is no obvious SMASH hits. But it's definitely a comeback quality wise. Still not sure if it's better than Hard Candy (which is underrated), but it might be her best work since Confessions. Solid album on the first listen, better than what I was expecting after the MESSY last two months and the endless list of co-writers and co-producers.
My version of the album right now is:
1. Living for Love 2. Devil Pray 3. Ghosttown 4. Unapologetic Bitch 5. Illuminati 6. Hold Tight 7. HeartBreakCity 8. Holy Water 9. Inside Out 10. Wash All Over Me 11. Best Night 12. Addicted
Those 25 tracks are a lot to sift through but there's a great pop album in them.

I will have a full, detailed review in the next day or two after listening to everything in sequence at least twice. But upon my first listen and initial skimming through all of the new songs in their finished form, I think this is one of her best albums in a long time. She was clearly inspired and focused. There are a couple that are a little throwaway-ish, but what album doesn't have one or two of those? The vocals sound far less robotic and severe as they did on MDNA (I know it is intentional on some of the songs). It will be interesting to see how much of this record will be performed on the upcoming tour.

Wow...surprised the entire thing leaked! It would be best for her to get this out right away. Just one thing I will say, I LOVE the new version of "Joan of Arc." It was such a blah for me in demo form, but the final version is terrific. Other standout tracks for sure, but that one immediately grabbed me. I don't care how well this album does commercially, I am just really happy with what I am hearing thus far.

She needs to just release this around the GRAMMY performance. At least then she'll have people talking about her.
Whoa the Grammys are on Sunday - that was quick!

Great news about the Brits - I'm looking forward to seeing the performance she gives them and how people react to it back in the UK.
Such a shame about the leak, I feel for her. It must be pretty soul destroying. These labels really need to work out how to control these leaks.
