Celebration * by Madonna (CD, Sep-2009, 2 Discs, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

Siempre las recopilaciones resultan un fiasco: mitad del disco con las canciones esperadas y la otra mitad son temas de "relleno", muy refrescantes para la memoria pero definitivamente poco significativos dentro de la discografía de un artista. Y Madonna no ha sido la excepción a la regla, Inmaculate Collection, la anterior recopilación de "grandes éxitos" de la artista, generó mucha expectativa y el resultado final, el que esperábamos los fanáticos de los 80's, fue bastante decepcionante. Celebration es la reivindicación de nuestras expectativas.

Contiene las canciones más representativas de los tres decenios profesionales de la cantante, desde 'material girl' (como olvidar ese magnífico video alegórico a "Los caballeros las prefieren rubias") o 'like a virgin' (recuerdan el paseo en góndola por Venecia?), hasta Revolver, el tema hecho en colaboración con Lil Wayne, demasiado 'neo-pop' para mi gusto (al estilo de Britney o Lady Gaga :s), pero de seguro muy impactante para las nuevas generaciones. POr el camino pueden encontrarse con esas canciones "sexys" que identificaron su producción en los 90's, como 'erotica' o 'justify my love' o 'Vogue', el eterno éxito discotequero.

Tres generaciones hemos disfrutado de la música de la siempre polémica "Pop Queen" y esta es definitivamente una colección que vale la pena tener. Y quién lo iba a pensar, hasta se puede disfrutar en familia!

For kthose of us who grew up in the Madonna "era" this disk was especially made for us.Its got a great mixture of her best work(which in my opinion is just about everything made in the early 80's) and of the new stuff.....If you are a Madonna fan ,then this one needs to be in your collection !!!

This CD is awesome. I've never seen one female artist who changed the music world like her. Without Madonna we would never had female artists who could talk about sex, religion and politics and that is what this two cds is all about it, songs that changed music history.

Extremely fast, neat, and new! 2 discs are totally wonderful! All her older songs plus a few brand new ones. Great! a the price was just sooooooo wonderful. I would definitely buy from this seller again!!

These promotional cds were produced by WB Thailand. The back insert features 2 hole punches near the scanner bar. The words "promotional use only" are stamped on the actual cds.
This is the Deluxe edition of the album.

I like Madonna´s music and that´s why I decided to bought it. It´s very comfortable to bought via internet.

I just love this collection. I have only 3 comments regarding this collection and that is 1) Dress You Up was edited a little sloppy. 2) 4 Minutes is edited to 3 Minutes time I guess to assure that the song make it to the 36 track compilation (18 songs per CD!). 3) I felt that WB could have easily made and added 1-2 more CDs to this compilation. They left out some wonderful tracks such as: True Blue, Spotlight, Human Nature, Jump, Give It 2 Me, Get Together, Angel, Beat Goes On, Rain, The Power Of Goodbye, American Life, Nobody Knows Me, Rescue Me, Bad Girl, Physical Attraction, Drowned World(Subsitute For Love), Don't Cry For Me Argentina, I'll Remember, Buenos Aires, You Must Love Me, Love Don't Live Here Anymore, You'll See, Keep It Together, Oh Father, Fever, Love Profusion, Causing A Commotion, What It Feels Like For A Girl, American Pie, Deeper & Deeper, Bedtime Stories, Gambler, Nothing Really Matters, This Used To Be My Playground, Imagine, Hey You, and a few others. Don't get me wrong, I still love this compilation and I give it high ratings because it's done quite nicely. The version of Express Yourself here is either a Promo version remix or The Video version remix. It's awesome and if you are into collecting various versions of a song this one is one for you to add to your collection. Revolver is another new track, however, it sounds as if it came from the Hard Candy album. Still good. Love it, too! It's an awesome compilation "Celebrating" Madonna's Career but respectively, adding 1-2 more CDs would have made this Collection the Ultimate Celebration Collection especially since Madonna is leaving WB. A Nice Box Set would have been nice like the Immaculate Collection or something to the like. I loved the Artwork done by Mr. Brainwash. You will, too! Go ahead and buy this collection. It will be something to add to you M Collection. The poster was a nice item. I also got a Promo Notebook with this item that was also an address book, too. If you obtain one, don't use it, keep it brand new looking by placing it in a Storage bag. Madonna fans, this CD Collection is a must have for any Madonna Fan! Enjoy~

I thought that this was an excellent cd. I have listened to it over and over and will keep doing so. Madonna stands the test of time.
