1st single off this album and it hit #1! (first since Take A Bow back in 95) for 4 weeks!. This was leaked onto the internet and in many people's hands about 3 months before the release of the album. Its got a kick ass beat and a message which delivers that "music, makes the people, come together". Very true. In the video Madonna looks like a hip hopper and they go out for a night in town to a strip joint and it turns into animation for about a minute where she turns into a superhero and knocks over her former song titles. This was the final performance at Roseland. The remix video for this song is the best remix video ever!
Impressive Instant - I love it! This song is kick ass and I fell in love right away! Definate HUGE club hit! Great follow up to Music keeps you dancing and going nuts! I like to singy singy singy like a bird on a wingy wingy wingy! Love it! This was the opening song at her Roseland NY performance. ( I was front row center).
Runaway Lover - The beginning sounds like the beginning of the arcade game Arkanoid then the rest of the song is amazing! I love it, one of the best song on the album. This song was the 2nd one she performed after Impressive Instant. The lyrics are not as great as the beat but who cares about that.
I Deserve It - At first, I was like what the hell is this and I didn't like it. But now its growing on me. Her vocals are beautiful and she sounds outrageous. I like the sound effects. Superb!
Amazing - Great song, sounds like it would be Beautiful Stranger's relative w/ a twist of 60s. A good speedy recovery from 'I deserve it'. Great social / in the car singing song. If this isn't a single I'm really gonna yell at her.(Again)
Nobody's Perfect - "The Cher song"... She talks so sexual in the beginning like when she says "I want you" in I want you. Then it turns into a cool sort of beat and her voice sounds depressed like it makes you cry, but not me. =)
Don't Tell Me - 2nd single which peaked at #4. No your cd isn't skipping. This is her 24th Gold Single she is now tied with the Beatles for Most Gold Singles. This song will hold a special place in my heart not only did she perform it at Dave Letterman in front of me which almost brought tears to my eyes b/c it sounded outrageous live, but when she sang it at roseland (the 3rd song she sung) I sang it with her while she was looking into my eyes and I looked into hers for a longgggg time she was smiling and staring at me! How orgasmic! The video is 50% boring and 50% cool. The choreography is amazing but theres a little too much of seeing just Madonna walking. A guy falls off the horse at the end.. why?
What It Feels Like For A Girl - 3rd single which peaked at #23 for 3 weeks. There is only a maxi single for this song, no regular.. I believe the only other single to have a maxi only is Don't Cry For Me Argentina. This song starts with a spoken intro by Charlotee Gainsbourgh.(No clue who she is)... I'm not a huge fan of this one. That intro I couldn't care for, No I don't secretly want to know what it's like to dress like a girl. The video for this song was directed by her husband and was banned from mtv and vh1 for being 'too violent'.. its not violent its hysterical and is the best video of her's in the past 5 years. This was performed 4th at Roseland. I had to sing this song back to Madonna at roseland b/c she was staring at me.
Paradise (Not For Me) - Taken from Mirwais's album. It sounds like a spooky mysterious song. Madonna sounds robotic and like a grandmother. Its nothing you can dance to, it has to grow on you. She sings in French on this track. Most people don't like this song. It's one of those "weird" sounding Madonna songs. See "Bedtime Story", "I want you", etc. for similar genres. I have been obsessed with it ever since I downloaded it a way while back.
Gone - This one sounds like a mix between Time Stood Still and One More Chance. Not so dancy. I don't like it. Sounds way country, she even has the accent going. "I tuRRRNNNN to stoNNNE...." This is one of the weaker ones on the album, see Mer Girl for closing an album on a weak note.
MUSIC - 2000
