I am nominating this for featured list along with Calvin999, because I believe it to be a comprehensive list of all the songs that American singer Madonna has released officially as a recording artist. Not only songs, it also includes music recordings by her based on poems as well as live recordings from her tours featured in any concert films. The list is structured according to the many List of songs recorded by XX featured ones in Wikipedia itself. —IB [ Poke ] 12:13, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Chrishonduras

What about those songs that she performed/recorded/covered in some tours or other media?. "Je t'aime... moi non plus", "I feel love", "Imagine", "La vie en rose", "Lela Pala Tute", "Nothing Compares 2 U/Purple Rain" or "Sagarra Jo"?. Somehow, they are songs with Madonna's voice.

@Chrishonduras:, they were live performances and not recorded media. If you consider live performances then we already have List of Madonna live performances as a featured list already. "Je t'aime... moi non plus", "I feel love", "La vie en rose", "Lela Pala Tute", "Nothing Compares 2 U/Purple Rain" or "Sagarra Jo" are all live performances and are not credited to Madonna recording them separately. "I Feel Love", "Sagarra Jo", "Lela Pala Tute" are all listed as "includes excerpts" in the live album credits. "La vie en rose" we cannot include until we know what is the track list for the live version of Rebel Heart Tour album is. The only one we can include is "Imagine" as that was separately recorded and included in the live album I'm Going to Tell You a Secret. —IB [ Poke ] 04:29, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. But there is not way to mention something about this? in lead or at least in a note. Simple things gonna be better but there are always songs that she recorded/performed and we can see in a video/streaming or even download, despite that she never released those songs with an album format. Because we have readers of all "levels" in the topic and from all countries, it will be easy linked them or explain that she performed other songs. We write for everybody and all readers levels.

I am on the fence with this. Her sample usage and other songs performed are included in the respective video album releases. I will try but don't see how that is overtly beneficial without turning this into a who's who list. —IB [ Poke ] 05:04, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Update: @Chrishonduras: I think this edit should be more than enough to direct readers appropriately to the respective songs they might wanna look into. Let me know if your concern was addressed with this edit or not. —IB [ Poke ] 05:37, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is simple but is okay. Trust me, inexperienced users about Madonna (or even Wikipedia), gonna thanks and know that she also performed other songs and how to find it easily. At the end, we write for everybody and we need to run the extra mile for all. So, I Support because the list looks fine and everything related about her songs are covered, have the correct formats by WP:MOS and meets all requirements. Good job both @IndianBio: and @Calvin999:.

Comments from Aoba47
  • I would imagine that ALT text is need for the primary image in the lead. Make sure the other images have ALT text as well.
  • Something about this phrase (including duets and as background vocalist) reads awkwardly to me, as you are moving from the types of songs that she performs with other artists (duets) to her role on other artists' albums (background vocalist). Maybe if you add "as a background vocalist" to make the transition clearer. Just wanted to draw attention to this part as something about it sounded odd to me.
  • This is more of a clarification question, but who exactly is "Emmy"? Are they just a musical group? Do they have a Wikipedia page? I just wanted to confirm this with you as I was left a little confused by this part.
  • I would add the release dates for the films mentioned in the second paragraph. Same goes for A Gift Of Love: Music inspired by the Love Poems of Rumi in the third paragraph.

Great work with this list. Once my comments are addressed, I would be more than happy to support this. Aoba47 (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47:, all your concerns are addressed and I gave a thorough copy edit of the lead. Regarding your question, Emmy was a band created by Madonna and Stephen Bray, her then boyfriend. They separated out from Breakfast Club to form this band. This link will give you some information about them and Madonna's early years. —IB [ Poke ] 06:29, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments by Mymis
  • "She collaborated with a number of songwriters on all her studio albums and has written and produced most of her songs." -> You mean she has "co-written" and "co-produced"? Not sure if I understand the sentence.
  • "Many of them has..." -> "have"
  • "reached number one on the music charts" -> Which charts? Sounds bit vague, maybe add "in various countries" or something?
  • Decide if you use Oxford comma or not.
  • "Name of song, writer(s), originating album, and year of release." -> No comma at the end.
  • "..."Music", "Hung Up", and "4 Minutes"." > Remove comma, so it'd be consistent with the rest of the intro. You have my support. 11:33, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
