You bitches need to lay off Hard Candy! Incredible, The Beat Goes On, Spanish Lesson... Pharrell went in on those beats!

As for this video, apart from me still being amazed at how stupid Nicki's faces can be and MIA continuing to be a sold out shadow of her former self I gotta admit..... Madonna looks kinda good!

The Beat Goes On and Spanish Lesson are horrendous.

Incredible has as redeeming feature the beat playing from 2:50 till 3:20 and at the end of the song. The whole song should've been based on that beat. It's the only reason I occasionally play that song.

Miles Away and Heartbeat are the best songs on Hard Candy, imo.

 

[freenudemacusers]

This is Madonna RN

*gross image removed*

I don't know how i feel about mixing ponies and pop

 

[Carl Gauss]

Madonna may not be relevant in today's music any more, but she has definitely given the deaf a reason to be proud of themselves.

 

[Dr. Malik]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO sis did you see the gif of Gaga shooting Madge in the video? im dying. I think its on tumblr

Twitter and tumblr are such a mess today

 

[Phonomezer]

She is #1.

How utterly irrelevant.

Looking forward to the stadium tour in May.

 

[thefro]

Nothing great but it's not awful either. Kinda feels like an 80s Madonna song.

 

[Souldriver]

Also, on the subject of Hard Candy. Voices is a pretty good song, but wtf at the horrendous compression/mastering going on!! The beat completely cracks throughout the song. Unbelievable.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Incredible and Spanish Lesson are horrendous.

The Beat Goes On and Spanish Lesson are horrendous.

 

[Koodo]

This Hard Candy talk reminds me that Timbaland shat on two careers in the span of a year: Madonna and Björk.


... though Bj has proven she's become a tragic former shell of herself with that last album. Madonna has yet to slide down so precipitously.

 

[Majmun]

Well, she did a 90° slide down since Music came out.

Confessions on a Dance Floor is one of the high points of her career imo.

Hold up, wait a minute!
Timbaland produced two tracks on Volta and provided drum programming for a third. This means that 80% of the record was down to Bjork. There's no way that in producing two tracks that Timabaland could have been responsible for the scope, vision or sound of the whole record, the rest of that mess was on Bjork only, which was further proved by her last album.

As for Hard Candy... well..... at least he wasn't the one who had Madonna saying shit like:

See my booty get down like (Oh)
See my booty get down like (Come on, oh)
See my booty get down like (Lower)
See my booty get down like (Little lower baby)
Get down (Oh)
Get down (Oh)
See my booty get down like

I loved the album cover

 

[Rocket Punch]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm gonna puke from laughter.

 

[freenudemacusers]

so is she brushing the bullets away or just not aware of her impending death?

 

[Phonomezer]

Reductive (Look It Up) Club Edit

haha

 

[Rocket Punch]

She's using a flick of her hair to deflect reductive bullets. What's not to get?

how can you be sure!? I see no bullets!

 

[Dr. Malik]

I agree, she is singing a reductive tune while not caring that Gaga is shooting at her.

 

[Souldriver]

This one drives the point home a little better.

Spoiler

I feel dirty participating in the Madonna/Gaga comparisons.

Or Xtincta, as she is otherwise known.

 

[Souldriver]

Btw, I'll never understand these rap intermezzo's in a song. They all suck ass. MIA and Minaj are totally unnecessary in this song.

this. they have always been terrible.

 

[Mato]

The video is ok and she looks good, but the music is generic and the snippets from a couple of other songs I heard seemed even worse. It seems like a HC2 is on the way, i.e. generic dance material to use as an excuse for a new tour. Madonna the passionate artist that produces actually interesting pop art now appears to be officially defunct.

 

[Styles]

I hope Kelly cockblock's her on US itunes.

 

[FStop7]

All your hugs and kisses too?

When do you think I should let up?

Street cred, yo. Street cred. For the peeps on the street.

I'll never get it. It has never made a track sound better. Just give me some awesome instrumentals instead of some shitty rapping.

Rolling Stones Review

But the tune and the lyrics seem dashed off, and the aggressive, assaultive spunkiness makes you want to run and hide. Not even the presence of two of the world's most reliably irrepressible pop stars, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., can lift this party out of the doldrums. N-O thanks: don't wanna

2/5

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Catchy, I didn't hate it, up until the pointless rap section. Reminds me of bad 90s songs.
I expected far more from this - the chorus doesn't go anywhere and feels like a throwaway Kylie Minogue song.

I liked most of her Confessions album (Jump, particularly - DAT CROSSOVER from the previous track) but she hasn't done anything good since, imo.

 

[lenovox1]

I'll never get it. It has never made a track sound better. Just give me some awesome instrumentals instead of some shitty rapping.

It seems like it's something that's stuck around since the 90s, when hip-hop and hip-hop influenced pop were the mainstream. Anytime there's a "rap break," I just blame Mariah Carey, and call it a day.

 

[i_am_ben]

lets be honest, homos just liked confessions on a dance floor because one of its songs sampled ABBA.

Michael Jackson had them in some of his songs too. Horrid.

Please. Forbidden Love and Get Together are the best songs on Confessions ^_^

 

[twobear]

Confessions... is a fantastic album but I do think it's a Blackout kind of thing where it's the fact that they got in stupendous producers (producer) and let them let their hair down.

Please. Forbidden Love and Get Together are the best songs on Confessions ^_^

Shirley you mean Jump and I<3NY.

 

[i_am_ben]

Leviticus always said gays were wrong but I never believed until this moment.

Hung up is the best song on the album

I love the video its been too long since we had a Madonna video. <3
