If Madonna Released This Version of Rebel Heart It Would Sell

[froot 659]

Here is the first demo version of Madonna's title track off her 13th studio alum Rebel Heart.

And heres the final version:

 

After all the demos leaking onto the internet one year ago this month, Madonna suddenly changed most of the songs, some better and some worse.

And honestly this demo version of Rebel Heart is the best, literally I think she should perform this version as the last song on the RH Tour, It would be amazing!

Do you think RH would've sold more or have better recognition if this version was released?

It's still mediocre and basic, but it is 100x better than the studio one, yes.

[Bellatrix 34,639]

The final one is way better and so underrated. The demo was better for like the first 20 minutes.

[Didymus 34,379]

Many demo's are better than the final version. Most dramatically Wash All Over Me and Addicted.

[Mobster 14,604]

The song is probably my least favorite on the album... both versions are underwhelming tbh...

[Chump 967]

It's better, but it wouldn't sell

Addicted is also great!

This could have been another smash for her if she released it circa 2013. Possibly this year too. That chorus is undeniable.

The Final one ofc sounds finished but that concept with that Intro is really amazing though. If somehow the Final version was a Combination of these it would have been a remarkable Slayage on the Album.

I don't think there would have been much of a difference in sales.

I loved some of the demos much more than the final versions, but I don't think it would make that much of a difference.

I love the studio one, it makes you concentrate and listen to the lyrics which are very powerful and inspirational. The whole song is very simple and so powerful with its message at the same time. It wasn't supposed to be a hit it was supposed to be real. Show what does the whole Rebel Heart theme means.

I've never heard the demo before. Sounds basic, there are so many pop songs with electronic beat about fearlessness (Firework).

I like both versions but I don't think his would've been enough to increase sales and recognition, I mean it's still just one song on the deluxe version after all, which I still find puzzling because it's the album title track

I love the Rebel Heart demo more  Addicted had such an amazing breakdown in the demo but the final was just tragic
