Madonna
Madonna does hip-hop. Initial response: disappointment. Not in the song, it's solid enough, but in Madonna. This just doesn't measure up to the level of trendsetting ingenuity we've come to expect from The Mother of [re]Invention. This move seems contrived and unnatural, like she's dressing up for Halloween and seeing how many people say, "Wow, you pulled that off." It feels like a gimmick. And getting Timbaland to produce a single feels passé after the deluge of Tim-produced songs on the radio last Fall. This'll get Madonna airtime again, but if that's all she's striving for then our icon has really and truly sold out.

Madonna has a message. She is trying to reach as many people as possible. Some of the younger generation actually thought Madonna was dead. Yes, really. What? Then this song came out. It brought a new generation to recieve her gift. Her message. I wake up to sound of MUSIC mother Madonna comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, Let It be….just watch me burn 0:)
