Madonna's collab felt natural; Gaga's did not. Do you agree?
In a perfect world, pop artists would collaborate without any side idea, just cause they want to make art and fun together. Gaga and Madonna very rarely collaborate with only "pure intentions to support another artist", they know they will benefit from working with IT new singers. Chromatica featurings (minus Elton) felt obvious forced, same for Madonna's since... A long time ago. Me Against The Music was strong enough as a solo song. Putting Madonna on it doesn't sound very genuine and organic. Madonna was struggling after American Life... Pairing with Britney (and GAP, and Missy Elliot, and kids books) was a way to try to save her statut in the USA. Bring Your Love could have a good a great solo track. Sabrina doesn't bring any iconic value, but the song flows well. The fact Sabrina's style is hugely inspired by early 90's Madonna give a good aesthetic moment tho. As for DWAS, the song works perfectly as a duet. It's a good example you can here for the music and the bling at same time 🥹

Madonna - 'CONFESSIONS II'
One thing that makes Bizarre so great to me is how it's inspired by Eurythmics music. The synths are similar to "Sweet Dreams", the chords to "Here Comes The Rain" and the flow of chorus goes a little like "Who's That Girl"... All that ending up sounding like a pure Madonna song. 💪🏻👌🏻 Martin Garrix brings his touch without making it sounds like it's a Bebe Rexha song. Glad that she finally make music, adapting new elements to her.... Not trying to fit into music that wasn't made for her.

Where are the bodies buried?
I got something to talk about, talk about, talk about ATRL. Where are the bodies burried?

Ariana Grande - 'petal'
Ariana's vocal evolution is just so impressive. She started as a powerhouse vocalist, serving impressive belts, soul diva style... Now she sounds like a fairy. She is the proof that "louder" doesn't necessary make it "better" 👌🏻

Girls Aloud - "Girl Overboard (Alternative Mix)"

CONFESSIONS II vs MAYHEM
Hard to tell for now. The level is high in both cases. Pov : Mayhem team worked on Danceteria. 💪🏻

Do you think CONFESSIONS II benefited from not trying to be 'yas queen slay cunty'?
I think maybe the nostalgia effect play a part.... But for the first time in 20 years Madonna does Madonna, not Madonna singing Nicole Scherzinger demos (HC), not Madonna competing with younger artists (MDNA), not Madonna trying to be Rihanna (RH), not Madonna trying to satisfying everybody (MX)
