This here is the plate of a Egozentrikerin, as is typical for "Stars" from the VSA: superficial, material, here today-gone tomorrow, absolutely insubstantial always behind the latest fashion and forth under the beautiful glow, while firmly convinced of it, always something to do good and to be "the greatest" this. McDonna is not "matured" yet she has grown with their audience. Sure, there are the fixed "customer base", made up of their old Kreischberg Bois nor can age as herself, and this clientele also provides plenty of "new customer", but former disco-goers who now prefer to go to a theater than to the CSD or the colorful "Carnival of Cultures", former fans who themselves are parents now and want to pass on something to their own Nachuchs - this clientele has Madonna even managed virtually can not zoom breed (and have the boys of Take That !).
The title "Queen of Pop" carries a different anyway, and a female counterpart to the two "Kings" it is by no means, which must be not even discussed.
Consider this album so than what it is: another means in order to make money. Because of a high priestess of the "American dream" and Teufelsanbeterin goes nunmal nothing about the coveted "Mammon".
First falls on here that this time really "many" songs were pressed (even if none of the brains of Fäns strained more than 4 minutes ...), and the title can be once again on the world verqueere close, believes in the McDonna to live somewhere. between heaven and hell, Mary Magdalene or Esther, Madonna or satanist
Song 1 falls through. Wants nothing more than the blaring of a grandmother that her granddaughter take away the lovers.
DEVIL PRAY and Ghost Town are stylistically somewhere between albums TRUE BLUE and MUSIC. Proven tones with a modern twist. Quite well done and certainly not disturbing if one transacts a long drive and these songs would go on the radio.
Number 4 is noise. Something Bounce Knowles can better and for the more powerful voice.
ILLUMINATI sounds very good if you would replace the distorted vocals by the voice of someone who really has such and not only can croak. The "mässädsch" behind this song and the title, however, do not like me, but that's purely subjective ;-)
Number 6 copies such pseudo stars like "Miss Elliot". Our Muddi chumming here to maximalpigmentierte buyers?
HOLD TIGHT is then finally a catchy and at the same time the typical "hang in there, things will get better" attitude with which one really almost any can address.
JOAN OF ARC comes as the second catchy but Muddi takes the text again too seriously .......
ICONIC ... you may not believe it, the third song that gets stuck in your ear. While not for an eternity, but at least for 4 minutes. For Muddi that's what .....
HEARTBREAK CITY screams again for a good voice, but the song has potential.
Number 11 sounds like an outtake.
Number 12 sucks. Next ....
INSIDE OUT CALIFORNIA ROLL is original! But this voice .......
WASH ALL OVER ME is just as well, but why do they repeatedly tried "singing" to? We know that they can not simply there without technical aids .....
Number 15 and 16 are then again Outtakes the last thousand years ....
SEX ... Hachja because the blood of Fänbois comes to boil ....
MESSIAH suffers again under this bawling. Give this song and a true artist, and it is a blast at the stadium, with sparklers and schunkelndem audience.
REBEL HEART ......... our Mudder's so cooool. And because the song is probably gelieben left in the MUSIC-session, it is allowed to play the theme song here ...
BEAUTIFUL SCARS, ADDICTED and Borrowed Time are also good songs. But there is also here again the problem that affects that person just ridiculous when they "sing" want it or tried.
As for the quality of the songs, so it is miles better than the rubbish of Sticky + Sweat or MDonna, but it simply lacks this strenuous fuss, to be able to accomplish vocal excellence here. Since the vocoder does not help, because the blaring varies only between Minnie Mouse and a third-rate Streisand impersonator who is really a man.
Muddi, please do not pretend you could really sing. Stay with your plates dance song, because the leap into the "great art" You missed all those years ago, and also the "serious" or "critical" music you is not, after all the kids stores who know how from you.
2 stars.
"Lives because the old Holzmagd yet?"
- "Yes, she's still alive ..... yes it's still alive ..... they're still alive ..."
