They need to capitalize on Masterpiece win and put it on iTunes ASAP. It would benifiting the movie and the album. I'm sure it would sell big at this time.

Madonna Wins Best Song at Golden Globes, Jabs 'Girl' Ricky Gervaisby Marc Schneider, N.Y. | January 15, 2012 11:10 EST "Masterpiece," a ballad co-written and sung by Madonna for her new film "W.E.," earned the best original song Golden Globe at the glitz-filled awards gala on Sunday. It was the second Globe for the director-singer, who won for best actress in a comedy or musical in 1997 for "Evita." With her slight British inflection, Madonna made sure to thank her longtime manager, Guy Oseary, "for being so irritating." And studio boss Harvey Weinstein, whom she called "the punisher⦠for believing in my film. Thank you for my film." Later, when introducing the best foreign language film, she had a poke at host Ricky Gervais (who joked she remains "just like a virgin"). "If I'm still just like a virgin, Ricky. Then why don't you come over here and do something about it," she said with a smile. "I haven't kissed a girl in a few years. On TV." Madonna's "Masterpiece" is a moody ballad featuring a simplified production reminiscent of her sound in the 1990s, while the lyrics lean on the emotional side and tie into the film's love story. It was co-written by James Harry. Starring James D'Arcy and Andrea Riseborough as King Edward VIII and his lover Wallis Simpson, "W.E." tells the story of when the monarch abdicated his throne in 1936 to marry the twice-divorced American. he song was not short-listed for the best original song Oscar and reviews for the film have been mixed. In the original score category, Frenchman Ludovic Bource ("The Artist") bested Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who were angling to repeat last year's win, for "The Social Network," with David Fincher's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." www.billboard.com/#/news/madonna-wins-best-song-at-golden-globes-1005881952.story

That's hilarious, those 2 are just crazy and trashy! www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/elton-johns-husband-david-furnish-slam-madonnas-embarrassing-globes-speech-2012161Elton John's Husband David Furnish Slam Madonna's "Embarrassing" Globes SpeechElton John lost to Madonna at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, where the Material Girl won for Best Original Song (Motion Picture) for "Masterpiece," which she wrote for W.E., which she also directed. And John's husband, David Furnish, was unhappy about the loss. (Madonna beat out John's "Hello Hello" from the film Gnomeo & Juliet plus three other contenders, including Mary J. Blige's "Living Proof" from The Help.) Shortly after the 53-year-old pop singer's name was called, Furnish wrote on his Facebook page: "Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!" After Madonna's acceptance speech -- the orchestra even started playing in an attempt to cut her off -- Furnish's rant continued. "Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism," he wrote. "And her criticism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is." Last week, Madonna gave several interviews in the press accusing her pop queen successor Lady Gaga of ripping off her classic "Express Yourself" in "Born This Way," calling the latter track "reductive." But, backstage at the Globes, Madonna was hopeful that her win wouldn't irk John, 64. "I hope he speaks to me for the next couple of years," she quipped. "He's been known to get mad at me so I don't know. He's brilliant and I adore him so he'll win another award. I don't feel bad!" |

I don't remember Madonna being so present and active for a beginning of an album release in a long, long time. Most of her recent albums received the bulk of their promo, from Madonna herself at least, around launch time. Seeing Madonna actively promoting and putting herself out there again, even if it's completely unrelated and just really good timing like the Globes last night, is great to see and her raised profile should help to start this era off with a bang.

This is her first album since Ray of Light as a single woman, so that might have something to do with it.

Is Interscope the label on which the W.E. soundtrack is being released? If there's even going to be a soundtrack for the film. My thoughts were along these lines as well though that maybe the song is with a label other than Interscope so while it might get attached to the album, Interscope may not have the ability to release it on their terms. Plus, I doubt having Masterpiece on iTunes would effect too much. It's not an official single nor is it getting any promo at all other than winning this award. I'm thinking they're saving all of their energy for the new single and treating Masterpiece as just a side thing to help get the name "Madonna" in the press. |

Yeah. I'm thinking they maybe don't want to cause any confusion about her lead single or reduce the hype for the real lead single in any way by officially releasing "Masterpiece" to iTunes this week.

1.) There is literally no similarity between "Frozen" and the Belgian song, she only lost the case because it was a Belgian court trying to act all big and bad and teach some snotty American a lesson. The decision will go down in legal history as being utterly offensive, akin to the fiasco that was the inspiration for Erin Brockovich. Total BS. The two songs feature the same instrument and a couple of the same notes are played but in different melodies or what have you, but guess what? Each instrument can only play so many notes, and all have been recorded already. 2.) Madonna loved and respected the photographer, wanted to use some of the imagery, and knew it would be recognized. She's not naive. Excuse her for not tracking down all of his living relatives and handing out checks. Surely if his son cared about his fathers works so much he would have been flattered and sent her a nice thank you, if anything at all. 3.) You're aware that PE were full of s**t as it was a sample when THEY used it, right? 1.) Now that is a deja vu -- what you'd written -- if there is one. Where had I read it? Oh yeah, that sounds dreadfully like what Gaga's fans have been saying re: BTW vs. EY. My purpose in posting those cases was not to engage in a finger pointing war. My purpose was to hopefully spark some self-awareness in some of M's fans that they didn't have much room to be on their high horses in these matters and thus would stop to think before spouting all this ridiculous "Gaga's stealing while Madge's merely paying homage" BS. 2.) Oh, please. If she respected his work so much, then why didn't she credit him? And no, sorry, but I do not excuse her for not tracking down his estate. Bourdin was one of the best and most well-known fashion photographers of all time. Are you seriously telling me that she had no clue on how to do it? She's freakin' Madonna with all the resources at her command, not a clueless girl from some village in Malawi. So, his son should just feel flattered and send a nice TY? LOL. Deja vu, again. Some of Gaga's fans said the same thing about Madge  . Not saying that the cases are comparable -- they aren't. The similarity between BTW and EY is arguable, while that between the images from Bourdin's work and M's video is undeniable. It's as blatant as that of the images Rihanna took from LaChapelle's work for S&M video, for which she's currently being sued too. Heh, perhaps Rihanna is really the black Madonna . 3.) Yes, PE uses lots of samples themselves. They samples little bits of sound from other songs to form their songs. That's why they didn't do anything about M's use of the sample from their song. I was hoping that the same kind of self-awareness would cause Madge to take the high road, but I guess that was too much to ask of her. Lastly, if you don't mind my asking again, could you please direct me to a definite proof that Gaga was indeed lying when she said she'd heard from M or her people? Thx. You mean like Britney? :) A high impact career that peaked within the first 3 years followed by a decline? That's not too bad, I'd say. Madonna-like career is an outlier, not the norm IMO. But after the peak of Madonna in the late 80s, the peak of Mariah mid 90s, the peak of Britney early 00s (for example) they all were able to maintain relevance and sustainability in their careers past 3 years...so yes as I stated. Remember the Backstreet boys had an album go 14x platinum in the U.S. with radio hits and top grossing tours but now...  Let me make this clear, are you saying that Gaga is irrelevant right now? If so, then the only relevant artist in the world right now is Adele. And forgive me if I'm mistaken, but if you're saying that Gaga is on the same level as Backstreet Boys right now, then I must say you're outta your mind. If you're saying that Gaga could be heading to where BB right now, sure that's possible, but it's much too early to tell, isn't it? Also, maybe I'm wrong again, but are you putting Britney and Mariah on the same level as Madonna right now? If so, then I disagree. Neither Mariah nor Britney commands anywhere near the same demand in music and concerts and critical respect as M does right now. If you're saying that Britney, a decade or so into her career, is heading to where Madonna is right now 30 yrs into hers, then that's also possible, and it's also too early to tell. But the way things stand right now, I must say that there is more evidence to state that Britney is not likely to be on the same level as M 20 yrs from now than to state that Gaga is heading to where BB currently is. |

I was hoping that the same kind of self-awareness would cause Madge to take the high road, but I guess that was too much to ask of her. Electronic/Ambient/New Age artist Enigma (aka Michael Cretu) had also incorporated that same exact beat sample that was in "Justify My Love" in one of his alternate remixes of his song "Mea Culpa" which appeared on the single and some editions of the album. He did face similar lawsuits for other samples in his work too. |

Sorry libri, but you seem like a gaga troll. Go away (to gaga land gaga vision or whatever). Your attempt at 3 tenuous examples over 30 years of a career is ridic!!! Makes u look kinda pathetic. Sorry. There are literally dozens of OBVIoUS cases of gags ripoff of madonnas image, music, videos and style over the last 3 years!!!! No comparison. Everyone knows it. It's not even debatable at this point. Look it up!

If so, then the only relevant artist in the world right now is Adele. After name dropping Adele I decided not to read the remaining part...I thought it was clear that I stated that the people I used as examples have proven to have longevity and sustainability past their peak. Can't really claim compare that against an artist that is hot right now. Since you used Slaydele. She is at the top of her game right now...has she proven 13-21-30 yrs of longevity and sustainability past her peak...seems pretty simple and direct to me. But this argument is old now. But yeah, on to the next subject... |

^Wasn't it more of a travel issue, how it's routed compared to other tour stops? And then being back in time for the kids to start school, all of that. (Just speculating, geography isn't my thing. hehe) I mean, she was there in 1993, and her team is well aware that she has not been there since- so hopefully it will be a priority for the upcoming tour.
