Lucas 27,138 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 That's what you call a MASTERPIECE, a warm joyful album with amazing melodies and beautiful lyrics, and also a risky considering Madonna went from high voice, stylish catchy sound to a more mature voice, more classical instruments, and new physical appearance... Live To Tell, Open Your Heart, Papa Don't Preach and La Isla Bonita are some of Madonna's best songs and some of the best songs ever released... Where's The Party & White Heat are very good aswell All are in my top 10... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
