loomer Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 who knows, maybe Madonna realizes now that the thing is not how fresh you look, but how good is your song. More like the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
material_boy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 More like the other way round. Wait -- Are you saying you think "GMAYL" is bombing because it's a good song, but Madonna is just too old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperPop Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh, and for the record, there are plenty of people who actually like the song We're just drowned out by the very vocal crowd of those who don't actually bar a few Madonna fans, the song has only got horrible reception worldwide..and chart positions vividly prove it (and I am not talking about UK and US only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonski43 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I wouldn't say it was an outright flop. It's had a mixed performance but it's gone top ten in quite a few countries.

dollhouse Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 GMAYL got generally positive reviews though..but ever since the leak people were determined it will flop. no.1 in Canada and France top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutten Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 GMAYL got generally positive reviews though..but ever since the leak people were determined it will flop. no.1 in Canada and France top 5. The only professional review I read was from Rolling Stone and they gave it 2 stars out of 5. As a canadian, I can tell you it made it to #1 because of the Super Bowl and also because she announced she was visiting 5 canadian cities in her tour. I don't know anyone around me (non Madonna fans) who likes the song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Wait -- Are you saying you think "GMAYL" is bombing because it's a good song, but Madonna is just too old? Nah, I meant rather than her being concerned with looking young, maybe the problem is more the song being too young sounding. Only invites ridicule.

vocalism Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 ^ Well, seeing as how the majority of singles Madonna has released are good/great/amazing, it makes sense that people who never liked anything she put out before would like GMAYL!

dollhouse Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 UK CD single pushed back to March 23rd (from Amazon UK). They are going for a big push. I suppose those pre-order sales will be added too when the album is released in UK. I smell GMAYL in UK Top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have horrible taste! No, it just shows how different Madonnas singles have been. Something for everyone. This one has 60's vibe which is appealing to certain people who don't like usual crap on the charts or some club music. Big part of her charm is variety, if she would have put out the same sound again and again, she wouldn't be here anymore. This happens every freaking time she dares to release something which her "fans" were not expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocalism Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Meh. I was really just making a joke, but really, I don't believe there's anyone living today who's never liked anything Madonna has released prior to GMAYL. It's like statistically not possible. Unless it's a Nicki or M.I.A. fan. There's nothing about GMAYL that Madonna hasn't done before, and better. "Cherish" and "Beautiful Stranger" both have a '60s vibe, for example.

Oh, I know plenty of people who can't stand Madonna, nor like any of her songs. And it has no connection to being a fan to Nicki or MIA. But I do agree that Madonna's music is quite universal and there are plenty of people who don't really care what Madonna is doing and far from being a fan, who like a song or two of hers.

loomer Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 What the hell are you people on? Top 10?! You live in Cloud Cuckoo Land. The height of relevancy Q Magazine? CD singles? It's not 1996 anymore. This song is done. Deal. Time to leave it behind and at least move on to GGGW, even Madonna's record company are trying to pass it off as a promo buzz single.

Sloane Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The dellusion of some fans claiming remixes and the physical will somehow save the song is ridiculous. The remixes are awful. I was so looking forward to them and thought the song had remix potential but NO. They just weren't done properly and kill a dancefloor. Screeching mid-frequency bass lines completely overpower vocals and dance beat. I blame Lola for all of this. M didn't start chasing the kiddie crowd until Lourdes became a teen. Coincidence?? I Don't Think So. Of course, ultimately it's M fault. Still looking forward to the album though and follow everything. It's just that 'they' keep saying it's a great M record, insane club beats, her best ever, etc etc as if they're completely unaware that everything leaked & released so far is pretty mediocre.

Sloane Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm working on a Madonna megamix right now. Oh I got WIFLFAG startin' things out, then going into "Don't Tell Me," then Hung Up, Nothing Fails, etc. It was all going so well until I tried to slip in GMAYL. Now I can't get out of it! It's just so noisy and boring. None of the remixes work, ppl. I've tried seven ways from Sunday. THEY KILL A MIX, all of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky guy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 This really reminds me of Janet's Discipline era and Kylie's Aphrodite era. After rocky patches, EMBRACED by the industry, getting 'hit' songs penned for them, working with all the in producers, wearing all the right things, getting all the right facelifts, but yet, the public just wasn't interested. And the same reason is getting used to explain all of them -these ladies are too old. Are they too old? Or are they just too old to be prancing around in bondage gear/hotpants/leopard print bras whilst singing about spanking/casual sex/LUV, when Adele has just hit the industry like a rotund h-bomb wearing high collared dresses and a nice manicure and singing about lost love. I mean do these people not GET how to make MONEY? The public wants SUBSTANCE. You just divorced from the father of your son who you said you would be with forever, have you LEARNED anything to share with us? Have you plumbed emotional depths and found redemption and been INSPIRED by it? No? Ok, cheerleader chanting and Nicki Minaj it is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
