Do you guys think Open Your Heart is underrated? In comparison to some of her other hits from that period, I think it is. It has such a pleasant melody!

Not really IMO. OYH has good enough recurrent airplay and streaming. I see songs like True Blue or Dress You Up as much more underrated gems. They stand out as different in her discography, the first one with more of a classic doo wop influenced tune with solid harmonies, that Madonna hasn’t really done again like that. DYU is one of her most rock-sounding songs, including thanks to that guitar solo and overall bridge. I think it sounds stronger than Burnin’ Up, despite not being mentioned as frequently as BU.

It is in my top 5 favorite songs by M, especially the 10 min. extended version. Little trivia... The song was originally called "Follow Your Heart" and was inspired by the name of a vegan restaurant in Northern California. The song was offered to Cyndi Lauper first. She turned it down. It was then offered to Madonna who changed the instrumentation and lyrics a bit. It moved up the chart at the same time as Cyndi Lauper's "Change of Heart."

Another pop icon, Michael Jackson, turned down the chance to record another single that eventually landed on True Blue- in the case of "La Isla Bonita," though, Pat Leonard had written only the music track, and then M, I believe, wrote the lyrics when he bought it to their sessions.
OYH is classic M. I've always adored it.

Madonna is trending today on Twitter and not in a good way after posting this in response to the horrific killing of George Floyd.

I find it odd that some of her "rare" songs on Spotify don't have more streams, like Supernatural, History and some others. I know they are not her best, but you would think fans would seek them out more.

I'll keep my real thoughts to myself since I refuse to allow these white people to get my blood pressure up.

This is why she needs someone to help with the social media so things like this don't happen. This is not good at all.

I don’t think she meant any harm, sometimes people pay tribute from deep within but it just doesn’t translate well.
I hate seeing comments about the kids like dance for master etc. Twitter is just an asshole place with its comments. I just look at the porn on there(who knew it had so much porn)

I don't think she meant harm with that video, but she could've posted it without caption. She already addressed George Floyd issue with several posts. Still, she could save the world and some people will hate and attack her so what's new i guess.

I just look at the porn on there(who knew it had so much porn) I truly feel she isn't racist or meant harm but she is eccentric and marches to her own slightly narcissistic mind so it comes across as self serving,tone deaf and tacky. Like was that for us or was that for you? Amazing legendary artist but as a human being she is definitely unique. There is bigger issues than Madonna and the black Twitter dragging again atleast made for funny takes that took my mind of the s**tty world we live in. So thx Madonna

I do not want to make this a bigger deal than it already is but I showed the video to my roommate who is black and my boyfriend, who is half black(he loves Madonna but when she's wrong, he will let me hear it to no end) and they were okay with it. I am not going to try and put myself in anyone else's shoes cause I would not know how to. I guess everyone has a right to their opinion.

I'm glad she's raising her kids with music, arts and sports. Rocco is the only one who doesn't want what M offers i guess.

As close as Madonna and Diplo are, I'm wondering why we haven't had a Diplo song with Madonna vocals and maybe another guest artist.

That's fair and we all dont have the same black people opinions or coordinate weekly zoom meetings to agree on a message. That's the beauty of life none of us speak for each other!

OYH is classic M. I've always adored it. AND another interesting tidbit is that the Cole and Rafelson version of OYH was also obtained by Peruvian Venezuelan singer Melissa, who recorded a Spanish version “Abre tu corazón” in December 85- January 86 for her album Melissa III. The album was released in March 86, three months BEFORE True Blue, and credits both writers (without Madonna). This means that the first version that was released to the public was Melissa’s. The song was only the 5th single of the album, and promoted around the time (maybe even earlier than) Madonna promoted her Open you heart youtu.be/0kC5SwKycM4

Anyone here on Madonnatribe forums? There are some disgusting Madonna fans who can't stop attacking Gaga and sometimes other artists, it's horrible. Why are people like that? I stan for Madonna but that doesn't stop me from listening to Gaga, Mariah, Janet, etc. I also don't insult other artists who have/had a feud with Madonna, that's a horrible and childish behavior.

I used to be a member years and years ago. I got very busy with work and stuff and they had some technical issues and then I never went back. I felt that the info I get from some of the Madonna social media fan sites (like DrownedMadonna) and here is a lot more accurate and complete. I love all of those other artists you mentioned too. There is room for all of them to co-exist in the industry. There may be a little overlap between them sometimes, but they are all different and they are all wonderful. I do find that at some of those fan forums it can be anywhere from a little to very toxic. I guess that just comes with the territory. I am a member at ATRL too and that happens there too.

Gaga is recent but Madonna fans should have nothing to say about Mariah and Janet and vice versa due to competition. It's one thing to form opinions on things happening but to do it over stan culture is nonsense. None of those 3 are in competition they are already legends and only competing with their own legacies. Madonna cant touch anything Mariah does and Mariah cant touch anything Madonna does besides if one old bitch succeeds now it just helps them all.

There are ridiculous mega-fans of all acts- not sure what they think vile attacks and negativity accomplish, but...
Juanca- yes, was aware of Melissa and the OYH history. God to post, though, for completeness. :)

Yes exactly Stan wars between any artists is ridiculous and reminds me of mean school girl behavior. It’s just silly for anyone to look for reasons to put down an artist just to build their on fav artist up. What’s funny and ironic is that Madonna, Mariah, Janet, Gaga etc could care less.
