Great Comeback

"I am going to make this review short and sweet and to the point. "Bedtime Stories" was the album released after "Erotica." It is a fact that Madonna lost quite a few fans and was highly criticized after her Erotica album release along with her book titled "Sex." So you are probably wondering what this previous album has to do with this review? Well, Bedtime Stories softened Madonna's image since her previous album distorted her image and cost her quite a few fans. I feel like Bedtime Stories was a very complete album for Madonna; however as stated this album was to "clean Madonna's image up from her previous criticized album." I feel like this album was not recognized for how good it was. Hit songs off this album include: (In order of how they were released)
1.Secret 2. Take A Bow 3. Bedtime Story 4. Human Nature. My personal all-time favorite song is off this album and that is "Take A Bow." I Hope this helped!"
Bring bittersweet dreams

""Erotica" lite--crisp, cool, refreshing, almost filling. And how about that "Human Nature?" Way to stick it to the man, girl. And how about that photography?"
LOVE it! :D

"So, I got Celebration in March for my birthday, and I thought it was so amazing I couldn't stop listening to it for weeks.
Then, one of my neighbors gave me "Ray Of Light" and I'm now going to return the favor by buying/burning all Madonna's CD's so we'll both have her whole collection. :)
Anyway, I decided to start with her two most under r ated albums; E rotica and Bedtime Stories.
On May 22, I finally got it and had to listen to it. It's so sad that this is her most forgotten album; because it's awesome.
She starts out with a song telling us that no matter where she goes in the end, she's going to be living to tell in "Survival".
In "Secret" we learn that Madonna's date has got, well, a secret. Uh oh. What secret that is, we don't know, but they've got one.
In "I'd Rather Be Your Lover" Madonna tells her date that she could be their mother, sister, friend, or even brother, but for her, lover tops all.
"Don't Stop" tells us Madonna's date also has some dancing skills, because she tells him to "keep movin', keep groovin'."
"Inside Of Me" is one of my favorites. It's so sad, yet so sweet. A great song to sing when you're missing a loved one.
Watch out h aters, because "Human Na ture" is Madonna's message to you. She tells the h aters "did I say something wrong? Oops, I didn't know we couldn't talk about se*. Did I have a point of view? Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind." You go, Madonna! Tell them!
"Forbidden Love" is just a nice song for lovers everywhere. If Madonna "had one wish, love would feel like this." :) A very nice song for anybody together.
"Love Tried To Welcome Me" and "Take A Bow" are sad break-up songs that will make you want to (and some might even) cry. :(
The title track "Bedtime Story" is just about two lovers getting unconscious. Beautiful rhythm. :)
I haven't listened to "Sanctuary" yet, but so far, this is my favorite studio album of Madonna's (other than "Ray Of Light". :))"
