I always forget that La Isla was a much bigger hit outside the US, which is why it keeps showing up as her most streamed song WW more often than not. It hit #4 in May 1987 (3 weeks) but was #1 in many, many countries. In fact, it was the #1 song of the year on the European chart (measures across all of Europe). I have always liked the song, but I must admit, I re-visit it far less frequently than the rest of her catalog from that era. She has just played it so many times on tour and neglected so many others, that I am just a little tired of it. However, I applaud the longevity. Anything that keeps M streaming is fine in my book. I think it depends on the country but in Turkey (and in many countries), La Isla Bonita is her biggest (or most loved) song. I hear it everytime i go to a bar or a pub.

I was rewatching some of the Who's That Girl World Tour today. I love that show and I saw it myself at Giant's Stadium in the pouring rain when I was 17. I recall reading an interview with Madonna in the past couple of years where they were asking her about her different looks on tour. She specifically mentioned the concert film from Turin. She mentioned that her hair was huge and like "cotton candy." She said that they had to bleach her hair so much that it was getting dry and that she had been trying to let it grow out towards the end of the tour because she was tired of the style. Her hairdresser kept trying to get her to cut her hair a bit so it was easier to style and would hold up better, but she refused. Sure enough, like a month after the tour ended, she had already started to pull it into a little ponytail and attach a hair extension (similar to her Blond Ambition look.) I am attaching a screen shot of her performing Open Your Heart. It definitely looks poofier than it did when the tour started. Attachment Deleted Speaking of her hair, I just noticed that on some dates of The Virgin Tour, she wore her hair up. Not that this is important, just a different look I never noticed.

Queen looking rather amazing in her latest series of photos posted on Instagram. Compare those even to some recent ones she posted- is it all about the makeup? Sometimes, she looks less like classic Madonna in some of the shots she posts.

While I think she had kinda gone off the deep end lately with her looks, it all seems to have manifested into a drop dead bombshell look. Has she made a deal with the devil? How is this possible?

She looked absolutely stunning in her latest photoshoot. She looks a lot like her old self in shoots she did for Vanity Fair just prior to the release of Erotica. I still strongly believe it is completely unfair to expect her to look like she did in 1991 and then complain if she ages or looks different. It is 30 years and people age. She has aged, she has done stuff to herself to slow down the process, some things more successful than others, etc. No matter what she does or doesn't do, people will have something nasty to say. I am not sure what I would do if I had the public screaming at me that I am supposed to look like I did when I was 20.
She looks terrific and this photoshoot was gorgeously shot.

I remember this advertisement on the back cover of 10/94 Billboard magazine for the album "Bedtime Stories." Her label was having fun with the controversy from the Erotica era, and came up with this funny ad. In case you can't see it, it says "Madonna would like to tuck you in with her new album Bedtime Stories. That's 'tuck'...with a t."

As long as she lays off whatever injections she was getting for a while, it looks like it will settle in nicely and she'll look amazing.

I recall that ad, MX. Very cute. Though that was a lot of blank, blue space for a full-page, back-cover ad.
This latest set of photos, plus the Vogue Italia shoot/Pride at Boom Boom Room show that Madonna can still give good, classic face.

Anyone ever felt like GHV2 is sort of overlooked? Although it has sold about 1.5MM copies, it is always sort of forgotten about. I think it is because it omits a lot of singles and contained no new material. I happen to really enjoy it because it does a good job capturing the essence of her 90s sound. However, I do keep an "expanded edition" playlist that I listen to quite often. I rounded it out with the bulk of the singles that were left off and put the songs in release order.
This Used to Be My Playground Erotica Deeper and Deeper (7" Edit) Bad Girl Rain I'll Remember (Theme from the Motion Picture "With Honors") Secret Take A Bow Bedtime Story Human Nature You'll See Love Don't Live Here Anymore (Soulpower Remix) You Must Love Me Don't Cry For Me Argentina Frozen Ray Of Light Drowned World / Substitute For Love The Power Of Good-Bye Nothing Really Matters Beautiful Stranger (William Orbit Radio Edit) American Pie Music Don't Tell Me What It Feels Like for a Girl

she should do a throwback jelly bracelet look for her next photoshoot, purely based on how great she looks right now. I think she could pull it off! I do love the country look tho. She actually looks younger now than in 2000 when those videos were made, lol.

I really wish she kept this look for longer than the 30 seconds she sported it.

I remember those days in the early 1989. I was still looking at some parallels between Madonna and Cyndi Lauper although by then Cyndi's commercial success was decreasing already. Madonna released the Like A Prayer single in March and Cyndi the I Drove All Night single in April. I remember Cyndi for her video had blond hair with a black piece at the front. And Madonna had for the Pepsi commercial black hair with the blond piece of her at the front. And then I found Cyndi's red dress similar to Madonna's black dress from the official video. All coincidences I'm sure. Both releases were way too close. All this was a few years after the: Cyndi - GIRLS Just Want To Have Fun / Madonna - Material GIRL Cyndi - TRUE Colors / Madonna - TRUE Blue Cyndi - Change of HEART / Madonna - Open Your HEART

The only other time I saw it professionally, was in a series of photos in Vogue that year taken at her home. Ther were plenty of paparazzi shots though and I remember the tabloid show A Current Affair airing a story that her hair was dark because she was in a depressed and somber state…and she bore a rebellious blond streak. Whatever. Hahaha Here is one of the Vogue shots, Attachment Deleted
