Blown Away ARTPOPster 1,514 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Miss Madge has a lot of iconic singles. Everyone knows Vogue, Like A Prayer, Material Girl, La Isla Bonita, Music, Hung Up,... Unfortunately she also has singles that deserved better than what they got. Songs like Oh Father, Ghosttown, Girl Gone Wild, Nothing Fails, Bad Girl, What It Feels Like For A Girl,... Her albums are packed with bops, to the extent that some gems don't get the single treatment they deserve. Which Madonna single deserved a lot more success than it got? Which is Madonna's most wasted single opportunity? Edited December 28, 2020 by Blown Away 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotDoctor PronounsHe/they Popster to Popster 4,584 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I don't really know her discography well enough to know what was missed but Girl Gone Wild is a bop, and I think it deserved much better 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so damn catchy and was perfect on trend in 2012. I believe it flopped just because it was Madonna, who was in her 50's back then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Pronounshe/him Kindness Admin 7,848 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Not going to lie, Ghosttown is a great song. I didn't really listen to it when it came out because I was so annoyed she and Adam Lambert put out singles with the same name (his had a space) and I thought it was unfair to Lambert, ha. They're both great songs. Several years later I think I'd give a slight edge to Madge tho. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame X The Popster 87 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Give It 2 Me (Hard Candy) deserved better, it's one of my favorite songs! And as for wasted opportunity, I think it's I Don't Search I Find or Faz Gostoso, both songs from her last album Madame X. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyMetalLover ARTPOPster 2,401 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I Don’t Search I Find aka the best song she’s released in 8 years should have gotten a video. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown Away ARTPOPster 1,514 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Perhaps a more controversial opinion: Give Me All Your Luvin deserved a lot more success. It's one of the 3 highlights on MDNA, but again got limited success thanks to ageism 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the music video. :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGW was the song that Madonna wanted to show she knows how to do EDM but to me just basically showed exactly how she no longer leads the trend but follows it. I feel like Rebel Heart is a more honest and earnest attempt from her and it has a lot of underrated gems that has sounds that are less mainstream but undercut by lyrics that are very Madonna during her prime. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Girl Gone Wild is a very trend-hopping song, but the song suits her imo. The majority of MDNA is trend-hopping, but in a bad way though. It's uninspired and rushed. With Rebel Heart I feel like she took her time and there was a passion and commitment to the project. She put her soul into most of the tracks (Bish I'm Medoner excluded) and it shows. It's her best album to me since Ray Of Light. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvira ARTPOPster 1,279 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Oh so many, here we go: 1. Which Madonna single deserved a lot more success than it got? Bad Girl, Love Don't Live Here Anymore, Nothing Really Matters, American Life, Hollywood, Love Profusion, Sorry (in the US), Get Together, Jump, Celebration, Girl Gone Wild, Masterpiece, Living for Love, Ghosttown, Crave, I Rise and I Don't Search I Find. 2. Which is Madonna's most wasted single opportunity? Nobody Knows Me (iconic), Devil Wouldn't Recognize You (i think it'd be decent if properly promoted and with a nice video, although it's literally a Rehab and WGA/CA rip-off), Gang Bang (it'd flop chart-wise but a video for this song would be *chef's kiss*), I'm Addicted (hello Tomorrowland lol), Future (although I'm not a huge fan, I saw a LOT of non-Madonna-fans enjoy this song, especially after Eurovision), Faz Gostoso (girl, not only Brazilian and Portuguese people jammed to this bop, it's catchy af), I Don't Search I Find (the new vogue, hello).
