BORDERLINE

     Of course we all know "Borderline" is not only one of Madonna's most cherished and loved hits, but one of the most well-loved hits of the 1980's. It's a bona-fide classic- yet unbelievably she's only performed the song live twice in her entire career! Besides a random performance on her very fist VIRGIN TOUR, she sang a punk version of "Borderline" on her STICKY AND SWEET tour, and a mellowed-down and beautiful performance on THE JIMMY FALLOW SHOW with guest star President Obama. Both versions couldn't be more different from the original pop classic, yet both versions are amazing in their own way.

GHOSTTOWN

     Life can be so strange sometimes. "Ghosttown", the second single released off Madonna's criminally underrated REBEL HEART album from 2015, is widely considered one of her most-loved tracks in years, yet hardly made a wave in pop music. Had this song been released by Taylor Swift (oddly who appears in a live version of this song later in this post...) or Katy Perry, it would have been a massive hit, but for some reason it was by Madonna and was virtually ignored. However, the song made an impact and is slowly finding an audience. Madonna made a stunning, return-to-classic-form video that should have pleased fans who continually bitch about how she "sucks now" and "used to be good".  She also delivered some knock-out live performances of the song as well, proving to long-standing critics who say she cannot sing. Here's a taste of the great "Ghosttown".
