Don't miss out "Beautiful Stranger" from this era. Isn't in the "Music" album, is from the "Austin Power" OST, composed and produced by Madonna and William!!!
Love the BMW commercial! Interesting that Guy Ritchie always seemed to portray her as, to put it politely, unsympathetic, unlikable characters. But to be fair, she seemed to enjoy it and we know she never does anything she doesn't really want to do. Love how he immediately shifts to "sir" after she says "don't ma'am me!" 😂
I love the way Arioso builds, the second half of the song is really strong. Madonna being thrown around the car in the BMW commercial makes me wonder if Quintin Tarantino was inspired by this for his movie Death Proof and the treatment of Rose McGowan’s character 🤔 Clive Owen is pretty well known actor, he played the lead in a good movie that’s not widely known called Bent about a gay man in 1930s Berlin who is sent to a Nazi concentration camp
The BMW spot was one of a series of long-form, director-driven "ads" that BMW put out that year on the internet - which was just starting to pop back then. I remember it taking days for me to download the commercial to watch it.
William Orbit released an album of classical pieces later. I think Arioso was a precursor to that. Incidentally Kylie's I should be so lucky was based on Pachebel's Canon.. I think demoes often have the first draft of lyrics- where she just stood in the front of the mic and stuff popped out of her mouth, or she was using lyrics just written, but which maybe needed an edit. Star should be "star" it's def about Guy Ritchie taking the missus down a peg or two. He also def liked making her look a bit rough.
@@bennshouts swept away is another guy ritchie directed thing where madonna is a bratty star who gets her come uppanace from a male servant. definitely was something going on
hello the version of Madonna of Alone Again was discarded because it was too similar to The Power of Goodbye, airy was then made for a Japanese TV show
im not sure if u did or not but i really hope u check out her American Pie cover and Time Stood Still from the soundtrack of her movie The Next Best Thing that came out in 2000 before u move on to the next era time stood still is a must listen !!!!!!
Always loved the BMW commercial. It didn’t play on TV though. It was at the beginning of the internet so the only way to see it was online. I honestly don’t think any artist has taken part in a campaign like that since.
You said she looked much older in the commercial. That was what everyone said at the time and it was the first time her age was really used against her. Around this time people said she had zombie hands and she has worn gloves since.
@@bennshouts that film belongs to a shortfilm series from BMW Films called "The Hire", starring Clive Owen in various mostly emotional action stories, nice to watch 👍
Like An Angel: definitely in my top ten of ABBA songs. Definitely NOT for a Christmas album. Pretty sure the song is about a dying woman reflecting on her life and losses. It was very sparse and their only song sung by one singer - Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad. Madonna’s version is pretty, but its ’sweetness’ loses the essential melancholy of the original track. And as good as Madonna sounds here, no one will ever sing this song as well as Frida.
I can see why most of these Orbit demos got scrapped since they resemble the sound and lyrical content of Ray of Light a bit too much, albeit not as impactful and fully realized (they're demos after all). Mirwais definitely brought something fresher with his french house sensibilites. That being said, I think Arioso is breathtaking, as beautiful and ethereal as Has to Be and it's a shame that it wasn't released. This might sound crazy but it reminds me of something Caroline Polachek would do, with a more eccentric vocal style obviously.
Love your reactions, don’t love the „she looks old here“ commentary. That’s what Madonna (and her fans) heard for the last 30 years. And it’s probably what has driven her to her numerous cosmetic procedures unfortunately.
Thank you! Regarding the comment, she’s been purposely made to look old in this which is what I didn’t get, and it was pretty shocking to me when she’s looked great for most of the era x
@ I don’t think that’s true though that they tried to make her look older for this, lol. If you watch the Drowned World Tour, then you will see that she definitely looked a little rougher than usual and very thin and gaunt during this time. She appeared to look different only a year before that, because she was pregnant and gave birth.
It’s satire. But what I never liked about it was that it was Guy taking out his misogyny on Madonna. Note the two projects they worked on together she’s portrayed as a bitchy diva who gets bashed and beaten around. This is how you see your wife? What a prick.

He already reacted to it, because it's previous to the Music era.
@@jgadadi can't find that reaction.
BEAUTIFUL STRANGER IS MY FAVORITE MADONNA SONG YO... WHENEVER IM HAVING A BAD DAY I PLAY THIS AND LIFE GETS BETTER ❤
Love the BMW commercial!

Guy was such a jackass I swear. I really get the feeling he never respected her or her career.
the BMW commercial was definitely a humiliation ritual and guy ritchie will not see the pearly gates
💀💀

Omg hahahaha, LOVE this
Madonna has dozens of demos from each era. I think the best ones are from Ray of Light, American Life, Confessions and Hard Candy.
William Orbit released an album of classical pieces later. I think Arioso was a precursor to that. Incidentally Kylie's I should be so lucky was based on Pachebel's Canon..

Yeah good point on the demos!
Yuck at Guy tho!

Always leading the way! 💘

Omg 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I love this Era!
like an angel passing is sucha nice song Abba did a demo w a lot of different versions nice to check out
Abba recorded the original not just a demo. Its the final song on their original final album.
“Alone Again” is from Ray Of Light not Music.
Kylie, Ben and Madgedonna THIS IS A TREAT
❤️❤️❤️
I hope you realized the coffee she had inside the car 😂
Nooo?? Whats the reference
@@bennshouts just wanted to make clear that it was only the coffee on her pants in the end 😏
@@bennshouts that film belongs to a shortfilm series from BMW Films called "The Hire", starring Clive Owen in various mostly emotional action stories, nice to watch 👍

HAHA damn, she could be dying at Christmas time? 🤪

“Star” is probably the only thing Madonna & Guy made together that is worth to remember. Very cool and funny commercial 😎
Only one exception: Rocco 😉
what it feels like for a girl video is great! Guy made her die in the end ok, but it was a cool video

So then my comment on how she looks is correct and valid lol
@@bennshouts It is correct, just kinda rude, lol
That BMW advert is so naff. 😂
😂😂😂
Damn, that advert is crass and dire... Madonna trying to act like a "star" rather than just relaxing into being the one she is.. awks
