I finally watched this. She also did an interview special on FUSE where she said that her next single would be Give It to Me (frown).
So, her album launch NYC show was okay. Justin made an appearance. The only strange part was her hard rock rendition of Hung Up that I didn't like at all. Just too bizarre. It didn't help that her backing vocals were off sync with her live singing, so it sounded like the song was being done in the round. After that I just couldn't watch the rest of the show.
I've listened to Hard Candy nonstop since Tuesday. There are some great songs that instantly make you think "This song is great." And then, there are some flops like Give It 2 Me which sounds like a Tay Zonday type made it at home on his Casio keyboard.
Matty, you know it's true.
Some of the songs take a while to get used to, but after a few listens see if you don't get Spanish Lesson stuck in your head. It's catchy.
I don't think this is Madonna's strongest vocal performance (she was best on Ray of Light). On some songs like Heartbeat and Incredible I felt like she was on the verge of pushing her vocals past pleasant. But I think it's a more honest performance than Confessions; there's less vocoder on this one.
Highlights - Heartbeat, Miles Away, Beat Goes On, Dance 2night, and Devil Wouldn't Recognize You. The last song I've heard compared to Justin's Cry Me A River. I don't think that's a fair comparision. It's more like What Goes Around, but I see the song as part of a Timberlake/Timbaland trilogy of breakup/betrayal songs.
The BBC has a review of Madge's Hard Candy and, well, it's not great. And just reading the line that Justin Timberlake is on five tracks makes me cringe.
I thought this was a Madonna album?
Oh Madge, is this another American Life with hip-hop beats?
Last night Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I tuned into VH1 Classic just in time to see Madonna give a humorous and humble acceptance speech. Afterwards she welcomed Iggy Pop to the stage to perform some of her hits.
I think Madonna was laughing on the inside.
Do you own all the albums of any particular musical artist or group? Who?

The next person would be Lee Soo Young. I love the Korean ballad chanteuse. Her new album is also coming out at the end of this year.
Then there's Clazziquai Project. Another Korean import whose music might be best described as acid jazz. Their last album came out earlier this year and I don't have it yet, but it's on my wishlist.
And finally, I have all of Mika Nakashima's albums...well, all except her recent Yes.
