  1. On the first listen I thought Medellín was just okay, it was nice, but after about six listens, I now think it's an amazing song with a great melody that keeps growing on me with each listen. There is quite a lot going on in the track, and you hear something new with each listen.. It takes time to grow on you.  I find it's like that with a lot of Madonna's songs, though, and they usually end up being her best songs, imo. It was the same with American Life initially, and that was a song that took longer to grow on me, but I now think it's a great track. I just want to add that I love her vocals on Medellín.

  2. I actually like it that Madonna has taken her time with this album. It gives her time to explore, ruminate or add to what's already been done. I don't think anything is good if it has been rushed. It shows she's really thinking carefully about this album, and that's good. RH was rush released because of all the leaks and I always think it could have been a different album if had been released when it was meant to be. I don't know what we'll get, but it sounds like she's taking a big risk with this next musical project, but I think it'll be something from the heart, not something to appeal to the masses or to tap into any trend. 

  3. I don't mind Howard, but yeah, he can be an asshole. He tends to wind up his interviewees, which I think he does for entertainment value. He's not the best choice to interview Madonna, because he'll ask her a lot of questions that are sure to be unrelated to her career.

    One reason she gets so much hate is because people are mad that she's proved them wrong SO many times.

    Since she arrived on the scene, critics and people in general have been predicting her demise and failure. It happens EVERY time she does something new. They say she's done, has gone too far, is too offensive, too old, too naked, irrelevant, not talented ... on and on.

    And yet she continues to thrive and be more successful than any other person in the game. This infuriates people. She;s made them look fucking stupid for three decades now. Nobody can match her work ethic and drive and smarts and people are so irritated by that they can't admit they were wrong. Round and round we go. Fuck em.

    Exactly my thinking as well, and it's the reason why I don't care for what the critics say anymore; it's a waste of time responding to it, and I'd rather have them talk about her than ignore her. ;)
