Why did they even go this direction anyway🙄

@@magicslave3066 Well her previous collaboration with Babyface "Take a Bow" became her longest #1 in the U.S. (7 consecutive weeks!) But I guess Madonna didn't want nor need to repeat herself. So she changed producers. (Rick Nowels & Patrick Leonard )

@@mikecee2145 But she had already worked with Leonard before ROL as well, so why not Babyface again? Maybe because Babyface is a one trick pony and can only do samey same R&B? Leonard is far more versatile I suppose.

​@@aaronREfan Maby she didn't want to sound like Whitney, Mariah or Toni Braxton.

I'm not gonna be popular here but I prefer her pretrained vocals more. Her express yourself like a prayer voice. Papa don't preach voice etc ...I live everything she touches but after training her vibrato just got so forced and goat sounding sometimes. I like to hear her voice crack. Especially live. I like when she is emotional and sings and is out of tune a second. People say she can't act but when she is singing, she can win a Oscar.

Totally agree! Her voice was so much more on point from Evita to Confessions

daniele ossola actually you’re disagreeing with the op

justjess1986 I completely agree

How do you think ALL Madonna's songs from the 1980's would have been if she had received that vocal training in the 1970's instead of the 1990's?

She actually did with the Hard Candy album

Yes I know she did, but Hard Candy was different. It wasn't lush and beautiful like Bedtime Stories. Madonna sounds so good on those slow jams! @@Krees82

@@nathanbradleyf777 well said brother💕💯✅

@@Krees82 But it wasn't the same. It wasn't as soulful as Bedtime Stories.

Or a remastered album Bedtime Stories have like 3 demo that wasn't released that includes the early track with Tupac Shakur called 'I'd Rather be your lover' . Ray of Light and Music sessions such good demos

Madonna could of put this on another album

yes. especially when she did Evita. this continuity for BedtimeStories didnt happen at all🥰

She what!!!???? Bedtime Stories 2!!!!!!!! How do you know? That has always been a dream of mine! To have her do a second part with all the same producers and writers. She should release it!!!!!

@@williamj.s.rodriguez4761 there's more than 3 unused tracks.

Too much!! Take a Bow 2.0 reductive

@@diegosuarez5620 I half-agree with you in that "2.0" of anything would be a better version, which this is not, but I know what you meant. Anyway, who knows what her process was? Perhaps she played with similarity in creating both in order to choose the better of the two?

Valentino Miller This song was recorded with Babyface in February 1997. Three years after Take A Bow. These sessions were confirmed by their publicist Liz Rosemberg when started, but in the end these were not used and became one of the demos most desired by the fans. I think that all babyface ballads at this time sound a bit similar, even more so that it has no post production. If you look at the songs he did for Boyz II Men, TLC, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, these are very similar.

@@diegosuarez5620 Agreed. Babyface was successful as a producer, but his talent was quite limited and derivative.

@@valentinomiller6251 Bro did you just call Babyface’s talent limited? Alright, lololol I’m good on the internet today. I’d challenge you to find an artist who produces their own work who doesn’t have an immediately identifiable sound. If they don’t, that’s called being derivative. This is beyond disrespectful to an industry legend and I hope you don’t call yourselves music buffs.

This is my favorite of the bunch!

Where had you heard of it before it came out

Madonna avoids repeating herself.. she has two great songs with baby face.. no need for a third look alike.. ray of light sounds nothing like bedtime.. she moved on!

Actually sounds more like Forbidden Love.

A less-pretty sister

Sounds like Toni Braxton.

@@valentinomiller6251 Please its very pretty

They're both pretty. ;)

HÉLLOooo VERY NICE MAN....BEATIFUL you...BE COOL...BE HAPPY...OK

si mas demos!!!😍😍😍

You got to get sick of one night stands sooner or later! LOL

@@jasonschilcher5686 but beautiful stranger was after this song

@@latinheat1132 that is definitely "something to remember". I guess I wasn't thinking.

Well actually this song says never fall in love with a stranger. The exact opposite.

@@latinheat1132 the power of the english cock of Andy Bird LOL

not on Ray of Light

I wouldn't call them "sisters" but lesser copies. "Amazing" should have been scrapped, because it sounds TOO much like "Beautiful Stranger", as does this with "Take a Bow". To me, an example of sister songs are "Mer Girl" and "Falling Free".

Valentino Miller I don’t think the same way you do, but I totally respect your opinion.

@@pablocesriquelme how civil girl,

thank god. this is basic AF

@@liquidsmile9872 por isso mesmo👏👏👏👏, você está certo, por esta musica ser parecida com take a bow eles nao a lançaram no mercado

You all good???

No 😫

@@cyberaga20 sorry to hear that

IThinkTheFuckNot YoutrickassBitch if only 😂

Ella prefirió seguir por la electrónica y el techno de Ray Of Light.

this was recorded a couple years after Bedtime Stories. She must enjoyed the success of Take A Bow and wanted another Babyface hit ballad but later decided against playing it safe for Ray Of Light album.

sure

Or since the early 90s. Thank God she has enough hits to make her still relevant.

I mean you might not like the stuff after the 90s but she was she was still successful with a new generation of audience while I do love that sound had she kept the same sound from the 90s her career would’ve been over years ago
