Madonna - Confessions On A Dance Floor (2006) ☆☆☆☆☆

After American Life (2003) wasn't as well-received by critics as Madonna and her fans are accustomed, there was concern that she had finally reached the end of commercial success after 2 decades. Of course, anyone who thought that was wrong and should have expected as such! Madonna came back better than ever with shiny red hair, tights, and a disco dance floor. The lead single, Hung Up, samples ABBA's mega hit "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A Man After Midnight" and pulses an irresistible beat - leading us into her Confessions On A Dance Floor.

I love the fact that it's "on a dance floor" instead of "on the dance floor". To me, that evokes a sense of manic - as if she's searching for anything to take her mind off of whatever it is that led her here tonight and she'll take anything, as long as the bass is pumping. I believe this album is very successful in the imagery it is trying to get across. The sound matches the photos and booklet design which really elevates the whole project. The moment the album begins and all the way through, I feel as though I am in a foggy, dark, colorful, pumping club, and it's a great feeling!

The entire album is very cohesive, down to the "nonstop" way that the tracks blend into each other (just like old disco albums). It gives off being very well thought out and put together which makes for an excellent listening experience.

Standout tracks include: Hung Up, Sorry, How High and Push.

Lyrics:

Je suis désolé

Lo siento

Ik ben droevig

Sono spiacente

Perdóname

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

[repeat]

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

I've heard it all before

And I can take care of myself

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say 'forgive me'

I've seen it all before

And I can't take it anymore

You're not half the man you think you are

Save your words because you've gone too far

I've listened to your lies and all your stories (Listen to your stories)

You're not half the man you'd like to be

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

I've heard it all before

And I can take care of myself

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say 'forgive me'

I've seen it all before

And I can't take it anymore

Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap

There's more important things than hearing you speak

Mistake me cause I made it so convenient

Don't explain yourself, you'll never see

Gomen nasai

Mujhe maaf kardo

Przepraszam

Slihah

Forgive me...

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

[repeat]

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

I've heard it all before

And I can take care of myself

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say 'forgive me'

I've seen it all before

And I can't take it anymore

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

(Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap)

I've heard it all before, And I can take care of myself

(There's more important things than hearing you speak)

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say 'forgive me'

Songwriter:

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

Today we celebrate the life and accomplishments of the "Godfather of Voguing," Willi Ninja. Born in 1961 Queens, New York, Willi was raised by an encouraging and supportive mother, Esther Leake, who not only encouraged his passion for dance but --significantly-- supported his own self-identity. While not able to afford dance lessons, Leake nevertheless took her son to ballet shows and other performances at places like the Apollo Theater, and Willi embarked on a self-taught path to dance greatness.

Borrowing heavily from the Harlem ballroom scene (and its established role as a socially safe space for Black, Latino, and LGBTQ+ alike), Willi mastering the singular art of voguing, a unique form of dance that blended fashion poses with precise martial-arts movements. In 1982 Willi founded his own dance troupe, the House Of Ninja, which --in keeping with Harlem ballroom tradition-- also served as a community safety net. The "Ninja" moniker was inspired by Willi's own interest and study of various martial arts. Willi rapidly ascended to stardom, perfecting and reinventing his dance techniques. By the 1990's Willi had landed appearances in music videos (including two with Janet Jackson), films, talk shows, and international runway shows; drawing attention from pop icons like Madonna and fashion moguls like Jean-Paul Gaultier. One 1991 appearance on Joan Rivers' show caused considerable buzz as he encouraged audience members to "walk" as if participating at a drag ball.

On this very date (June 9) in 1990, Jennie Livingston's inspiring documentary Paris is Burning, which features appearances by Willi and the House of Ninja, was released at the NewFest New York LGBT Film Festival. The film exposed Willi and his signature choreography to a much wider audience. Shortly after the film's premiere, Willi starred in Anthem, a critically-acclaimed 9-minute video directed by Marlon Troy Riggs.

Willi never neglected his own community, though --his rising stardom offered him a megaphone to advocate for many issues important to the LGBTQ+ community, among them HIV/AIDS awareness and fighting to end the relentless social stigma that accompanied patients with the disease. Willi himself died of heart failure due AIDS complications, in 2006.
