You haven't seen her play at Glasto etc if you think there's no presence. No denying the Kate Bush influence, but that's no bad thing, not trying to be something she's not like Madge, eh?

Also the Machine does exist, but the lineup evolves sometimes, not even her best friend Isa has been a constant presence in the band... Just keep showing how little you know.

You think Madge is 'continually evolving'? More like trying desperately to be 'cool' because her old material doesn't cut it anymore. Compare to someone like Debbie Harry who still tours and hasn't changed a thing, hasn't felt the need to update because her material had a timeless quality that Madonna's never did.

Florence and won't NEED to change or find something else to do because some record company exec tells her it's 'cool', she'll do things HER way and not be brainwashed thank you very much.

Same reasons that even with all the money she's made, she is still humble unlike the overrated insane yank, still even sleeps on a mattress on the floor in her mum's living room (on the rare occasions she's actually AT home, and not working hard or touring).

Compare to Madonna who now she's no longer married to a film director feels the need to grab attention at every opportunity, even adopting 'orphans' not for their good, but for her own PR good (same reason she's doing the Superbowl tomorrow night, a part of the show many are expecting to suck ass, by the way).

So yes, she is still around, but what's the point when she's a shadow of what she was in the 80s? Feel free to keep getting the word wrong too ;)

Well her 'brothers' would say that now, wouldn't they... By those terms, Jordan is also a marketing genius... well, her agent is, but you wouldn't want that skank around these days either, she has to keep pulling little stunts to keep mindless masses happy too.

You won't get rid of Flo (or her peers such as Adele, come to think of it) that easily, not when she had 2 years between albums, returned and was much missed)

No Nicki Minaj (whoever she is, I actually don't know or care), was PAID to say she loves her, probably part of the same record company. Surely being a Madonna fan, you know how sponsorship/whoring works? Thanks for proving one point though, she's only doing anything for attention and cash.

Yes, of course everyone is "paid". same way many peeps will be paid to say they love belch. madonna would never lower her perfect standards to appear on xfactor. so, madonna makes lots o cash... That's just a great business lady. or perhaps you are just bitter because you will never aspire to such greatness. god knows why madonna is apparently v nervous about the superbowl and costume malfunctions, because nobody prepares better, whilst making it look like it took five mins.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

you ain't gonna like this, but I'm with Viv on this one. Florence and her machine are dreadful, unfortunately anyone can buy music these days including those with no taste which is why her albums do so well. Its also why we have so much bilge in the charts these days

Not impressed with censorship

Seriously, if we all stop comparing everything to Madonna, would the world be a better place? I think so.

Florence has genuine talent, as does Adele, as does loads of artists around at the moment. It's just the not so talented ones that people judge music by, then say that everyone who's in the charts are crap.

Good line up except for florence. there is always that spanner in the works, i guess. i am a bit concerned that hackney want a "handling fee" from listeners. What do we pay licence fee for?!?

Well, I'm guessing that because it's such a bug event, then they need something for handling.If this was any other concert, you wouldn't be moaning. Don't you moan enough about the licence fee? Surely this is so that people who aren't going don't have to pay as much for it as the people who are...:rolleyes:

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
