Bedtime Stories by Madonna

Pros: Madonna and a collection of good pop/soul love songs. How can you go wrong?
Cons: Certainly the worst cover ever on a Madonna album.

When you've scandalized the world, what do you do for an encore? This is the question Madonna found herself asking in 1994. At this pooint, she was arguably the most famous person on the planet, but her ravenous sexual exploits and penchant for ...

Pros: Madonna takes a generic genre and makes it something special.
Cons: Forgotten.

= I've always been in love with you I guess you've always known it's true You took my love for granted Why? Oh why? This show is over Say goodbye = This particular review seems to stem from my urge to slam ...

Pros: One or two lines/songs
Cons: Vastly overproduced, Some predictable lines, Songs run together some

As I gear up for a bit of a rush of Madonna's music - I have two more albums by her on my desk to listen to - I am forced to contemplate the idea that despite the fact that I've heard songs on the radio by Madonna that I've enjoyed, I've yet to dig one ...

Pros: Excellent lyrics; flows well from song to song. A great attempt at R&B.
Cons: The title track sounds very out of place.

The Main Idea: Two years after the Erotica scandal and the simultaneous overexposure, Madonna released Bedtime Stories, an eclectic mix of many genres, in 1994. The album is revered as one of Madonna's most underrated and really sho ...

Pros: A totally different direction for Madonna: smooth R&B.
Cons: Feels like something is missing.

There comes a time in every artist's career where they have to complete reinvent themselves. People may have gotten tired of their old, familiar image, so it's time to spice things up a little. But in most cases, they've got damage control to do from a ...

Pros: It's better than Erotica.
Cons: 98.5% of albums in the world are better than Erotica

(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Pros: Madonna's soul-like tone, Nice R&B grooves
Cons: Simple and longer than it should be, Some ballads

Anyone who has this album can say that none of these songs are like bedtime stories. Each song on BEDTIME STORIES is either a dramatic ballad or an average R&B groove that takes time to grow on you. Although, there are some tracks that are ...

Pros: Bedtime Stories is like a mug of hot chocolate-warm, cozy, and completely satisfying!
Cons: Possibly Madonna's most underrated album-to this point!

PreambleSo I assume that everyone expected Bedtime Stories, Madonna's 1995 follow up to her much debated Erotica album, to be one big public apology. I guess people didn't know Madonna all that well then if that ...

Pros: Dreamy and relaxed. "Secret" and "Take A Bow".
Cons: Could do with a little more personality and energy.

In many ways the flip side to “Erotica”, “Bedtime Stories” was Madonna’s commercial recovery album, and as such it basically thaws the ice, taking sex and placing it next to love, then letting them snuggle up under the covers. ...

Pros: All the songs have potential to be singles.
Cons: Let me see in the Madonna's Con Book..none!

The most overlooked album is no doubt, "Bedtime Stories". It is tied for my favorite Madonna album with "Ray Of Light". Anyway, lets get to the review.

We start with "Survival". The song is about how it's about survival in her world. The...

Pros: Secret, Bedtime Story, Take a Bow, MADONNA 2.0
Cons: Uneven, as usual, but in a higher plateau

After employing sex as window-dressing for celebrity rapture for years, MADONNA was knocked on the ground circa 1994. Her explicit attempt on a sexy crossover, Erotica, failed to boot. Sex, her explicit photographic book, remains a ...

Pros: Sonically beautiful album...
Cons: Where's the b-side "Let Down Your Guard"

Bedtime Stories is the “smooth it over” album released in 1994 after the raunchy 1992 Madonna album Erotica and the Sex book released during that same year. Bedtime Stories features a much softer and warmer Madonna on most tracks with lush ...

Pros: A romantic, sexy, r&b album that thaws the Erotica ice.
Cons: Some fun, but disposable filler songs

We worried for about Madonna for a while there. After the public and critical backlash of the Erotica album and infamous Sex book, the David Letterman appearance and a horrible mobie Body of Evidence, we werent sure she would recover. Erotica was a cold ...

Pros: "Secret" and "Human Nature" two awesome songs that can only be found here
Cons: "Don't stop" is quite repetitive

One of the best Rhythm and Blues album a pop performer could do. Madonna keeps pushing that creative mind of hers into overdrive, this time with a funky mix of R&B, hip-hop, pop and even techno. She's really done it all when you hear this album.
...

Pros: Great New Songs. Amazing Vocals.
Cons: None...It's Madonna!!

Madonna is the woman who defined a decade, and has continued to show her influence over today's music scene. Her point of view is constantly causing controversy, and her albums are always selling, what more could a person need? "Bedtime...
