#37 - BAD GIRL
Average: 7.9861 - Highest: 10 (x4), Lowest: 3 (x1)
Writers: Madonna, Shep Pettibone, Anthony Shimkin
Producers: Madonna, Shep Pettibone
I don't have information about the composition of this song, but for me it portrays a woman who watches her life go downhill and how she's hurting the one she loves.
It was released as the third single off Erotica, and it was a very moderate success: it peaked at #36 in the US and #10 in the UK. Its highest peak WW was in Italy: #3.
Madonna performed this song only once (yes, I know, it's a crime), at the Saturday Night Live. Very good performance, I highly recommend it.
The beautiful video was directed by David Fincher, portraying Madonna as a powerful executive and Christopher Walken as her angel. It's very related to the lyrics of the song.
I love "Bad Girl", it's certainly one of my favorite Madonna ballads. 9 from me.

I love it, but I honestly don't understand how Bedtime Story was a single.
Especially when Survival was the PERFECT third single. Like, huh?

For me "Survival" is possibly the worst song on the album.
Regina, you'll sadly not get "Nothing Fails" today...

'Live to tell' finally grew on me. I heard it before long ago but I always felt Frozen, Take a bow and The power of goodbye were better (and still do) -- silly me for denying this track a home in my ipod for so long.

Instead of "Nothing Fails", we'll have to say good-bye to two much superior songs - like this one:
#36 - OH FATHER
Average: 7.9861 - Highest: 10 (x7), Lowest: 5 (x1)
Writers: Madonna, Patrick Leonard
Producers: Madonna, Patrick Leonard
While recording Like a Prayer], Madonna acted in a Broadway production called Speed-the-Plow. She was frustrated with her role and the negative reception, so she wrote this song,"Promise to Try" and "Till Death Do Us Part" in a way of letting some feelings go. Here's what she says about the song:
Quote:
|
'Oh Father' is like the second half of 'Live to Tell', in a way. It was a combo package—it was about my father and my husband. I was dealing with male authority figures once again. That is a great source of inspiration in my writing.
|
"Oh Father" was released as the fourth single off Like a Prayer, and it was Madonna's first single since "Holiday" to miss the Hot 100 Top 10. It was just released in Europe when it appeared on Something to Remember (1996), and it peaked at #16 in the UK.
Madonna performed it only on the Blond Ambition, in a medley with "Live to Tell".
The video was directed by David Fincher and it depicts Madonna's relationship with her father and how she dealt with her mother's death when she was a kid.
"Oh Father" is an amazing and beautiful ballad, in my opinion, and I gave it an 8.5.

Wow, I always thought it one of the weaker songs on Confessions, which is one of her weakest albums. (still great though, just lower on her standards)

A lot of Madonna fans disagree with me on my opinions on Confessions and Like a Prayer, but other than that I have generally typical Madonna fan opinions.
