For today's video, I'm sharing my 7th favorite Madonna song. One of Madonna's great songs, Frozen has a very Goth vibe to it. Its so dark and lush. Plus the video features a dark-haired Madonna. I love Madonna when she has dark/black hair. So here is the video to Frozen as performed on Madonna's 2001 Drowned World Tour. This is one of the few live performances of this song. From the amazing RAY OF LIGHT album, here is Frozen. Enjoy!

For today's song, I'm sharing my 8th all-time favorite non-ballad, Madonna song. Written by Bjork, this is one of Madonna's most experimental songs. The video to the song is an exercise of sub-conscious randomness. I LOVE IT. Unfortunately, Madonna has only performed this song once live at the 1995 Brit Awards. I wish Madonna would perform this song more often, but oh well. So here is the video to the title track of Madonna's 6th studio album, Bedtime Stories. Enjoy!!!

Five years ago, on April 19th 2008, Madonna released her 11th studio album, HARD CANDY. An exercise in R&B and Hip-Hop elements, Madonna proved her staying power in music. It also produced the best-selling concert tour by a solo artist. For today, I present the title track from the album, Candy Shop, as presented as the opening number to Madonna's 2008-2009's Sticky & Sweet World Tour. Enjoy!!!

On April 22nd, 2003, Madonna released her 9th album, AMERICA LIFE. It was her most political album, her mid-life crisis album and now one of her most under-rated albums. No matter what your political views are, it is interesting to re-visit this album and realize how 'on point' Madonna was about the state of the United States and the government. But I'm not here to sway political views. I just what people to realize what an amazing artist Madonna is and how great this album really is. For today's video, I present the live version of the title track, taken from Madonna's 2004 Re-Invention World Tour. Enjoy!

Today I present my 9th favorite non-ballad Madonna song. In June of 2006, Madonna's Confessions Tour was headed to Chicago. I was excited for this tour because the album it was promoting, Confessions on the Dance Floor, was one of my favorite albums. What I did not expect from this tour was a surprise "re-invented" performance of a classic Madonna song, Erotica. It was rumored that there were two versions of Erotica: the original deep-house album version and a more soulful version secretly known as You Thrill Me. On the Confessions Tour, Madonna performs a medley version of these two songs, which instantly becomes a classic concert performance. So here is Erotica/You Thrill Me as performed on the 2006 Confessions Tour.

Enjoy!
