Jumpb4uthink Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Is this the first song using strings ( die another day, let it will be etc ) ? In retrospect, this song is way ahead of its time. Brilliant vocals and a dated but perfect video for the single. When she dances and arches her back and wraps her arms around herself, epic.

Nikki Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 you only need 2 seconds of the strings to hear and recognise what the song is. kind of like the first beats of Billie Jean. everyone knows it. the vocals, the lyrics, her dancing.. everything is PERFECT.

Bill Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 When it comes to pop songs, you can't get much better. This song is absolutely perfect in every way. My favorite - the passion in this verse: But my friends keep telling me to give it up Saying I'm too young, I oughta live it up What I need right now Is some good adviiiiiice PLEASE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rachelle of London Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I sometimes cry when I hear those strings. Sad I know but PDP really is one of those classic songs. I was a mess at my MDNA shows when those came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip The Switch Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Awesome song and video. When she walks with her jacket on her shoulders and take the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollhouse Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I don't think the video is dated at all..its pretty timeless and iconic. Too bad the song is criminally overshadowed by Like A Prayer. Id say this is on par with LAP, at least. And its probably her best vocal effort so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Guitar strings? The opening is classic (as is the song)- and it is one of her most passionate vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
