The hook to "Celebration" is better. The verses to both are about equally horrendous, but it's the way she sings the words that give GGW an edge. And the production at least sounds somewhat current.
And Cher did have a minor follow-up hit with "Strong Enough." I heard that on the radio all the time in 1999.

^ ROL, Music and AL weren't really dance albums.

I have issues with it (shocker), but I've already listened to this more times than I've listened to GMAYL in the last four months.
-
I love the Interview photo shoot, but I can't help but feel like the description we're hearing just sounds like that shoot in video form, like GI2M. Aside from shirtless men, not one detail is different from the photo shoot.

Sounds like an awful poem someone quickly wrote. Sorry, but I call "fake" once again.
So...you mean like a poem Madonna wrote? Remember that horrible thing she recited in I'm Going to Tell You a Secret?
-
^ Maybe it will shake some sense into them?

^ But I thought the boxing motif was the original theme? Didn't the belt say "Give It 2 Me"? What a mess of a project.

They were by no means perfect, but sometimes I feel like Madonna fans are similar to housewives that get cheated on by their spouse and then only blame the mistress and not the husband. In the end, M is responsible for her career. If she has some disappointments due to her mistakes, maybe she will come back better next time.
I mean you can blame "Warner Bros." for a lot things, but in the end it was just a revolving door of different people and executives. The same people who were making decisions for Hard Candy were not the same ones who were making decisions for AL, ROL, LAP, etc. Anyway, it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to listen to CS and 4M and decide which one would make a better single. The fact that the leaked version of CS was identical to the released version was reason enough NOT to release it as a single, let alone the lead single. Unfortunately, Madonna/Interscope wound up making that same mistake with GMAYL. Except, I think I like CS more? It's at least listenable if you ignore the lyrics and dated Pharrell sound. The hook is good.
-
Sounds hot. I hope the look is similar to the Interview shoot...but with a plot/concept or something.
-
I remember both CS and GI2M being discussed as album titles, not lead singles. From what I recall reading, Madonna wanted CS and the label wanted 4M. I remember this vividly because while I had issues with "Die Another Day," "American Life," and "Hung Up" (DAD and HU went on to grow on me enormously), it was the CS rumor when I realized that Madonna had truly lost her good instincts.
-
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.
-
"Are you walking the dog, cause that dog isn't new." Need I say more? In fact, the dog without a bone thing is the only part of the review that sounds realistic!
-
^ 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! They have horrible taste!
-
I totally buy that Madonna wanted GMAYL and the label didn't. However the rest of that "review" is questionable. I doubt anyone at the label is pissed at M.I.A., and I doubt they'd remove her from the song. The album is done. Some of those descriptions sound whack, but that horrible "dog without a bone" lyric is definitely something M would write!

it's also a snippet and low quality
It's not that low quality that we can't HEAR it. And it's not like if the song gets longer those 15 seconds are suddenly going to change. Come on. The vocals aren't crisp. They sound processed and layered and, like the writer said in his completely contradictory review, they get a little lost in the production. And I never said any of this was a bad thing, just that the review sounds like BS and contradicts itself..
Someone who heard it from the Madonnatribe forum.
He also said the part we hear in the megamix is the chorus and that the way the song leads into it is absolutely amazing.
Without hearing the bridges (and the verses) we can't have an idea of the song.
What I'm hearing in the snippet sounds like a chorus and a verse. There's obviously a lot we haven't heard, so I could be wrong, but the "Girls they just want to have some fun" sounds more like a verse than a hook to me.

Single review: Madonna ‘Girls Gone Wild’ puts comeback back on track
Edward Daily
San Diego Music Examiner
Currently, San Diego’s Z93 is spinning “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” a song that has not gone down well with fans or the general public. Some have even called it Madonna’s worst song ever. That’s the bad news.
The good news: Madonna’s upcoming single, “Girls Gone Wild,” will not only put her comeback back on track, but will make listeners forget about “Give Me All Your Lovin’.” It is an absolute club banger and will rank up with “Vogue” and “Ray of Light” as one of Madonna’s best dance tracks.
The song begins with Madonna reciting some sort of prayer, before singing about being a good girl gone bad. There is no doubt that her misogynist critics will shout foul play against a 53-year-old woman singing about going wild. These are the same critics that probably praised Bruce Springsteen’s 2007 single “Girls in Their Summer Clothes,” even though Springsteen was four years older than Madonna when he released it.
However, there is a deeper meaning to the song—it is sort of autobiographical. It’s about a good catholic girl who decides she doesn’t want to play by the rules anymore. Does that sound familiar?
Madonna’s crisp vocals—very reminiscent of her 1993 hit “Deeper and Deeper,” get somewhat lost in the production at times. But it’s a production that is a definite winner. Those who thought Madonna lost her way after listening to “Give Me All Your Luvin’” will be pleased. “Girls Gone Wild” hasn’t officially been released yet, but you should start hearing it any day now.
This sounds like nonsense to me. Not to mention, "crisp vocals"? The snippet we've heard is the opposite of "crisp vocals." And if they're "crisp," how can they get lost in the production? MESS.

Anyone using a gif of that hairplugged piece of shit should do just that
I think he's sexy.

However, artistically is was spot on choice. Its the best video from that album. Everybody still remembers it. Its fucking cool. And the remix is one of her best.
I feel GMAYL and MDNA will be more of her wanting to do whatever she wants..
Well, it's subjective, isn't it? I think DTM is a better video. WIFLFAG was an interesting video, but it's not great. And I'm not sure anyone remembers it besides us. Most people didn't even see it. I do like the remix, but it was the not the best way to present that song. If she wanted to put out something edgy and artistic, she should have just released "Impressive Instant" as the third single. And I don't think this album represents her doing whatever she wants. She hasn't done that since AL. That Madonna is long gone. GMAYL proves it.
Speaking of which, could this "remix" possibly be a single version with a guest on it for U.S. radio? That makes much more sense than premiering a single no one's ever even heard yet with a totally new mix.
-
Oh god, I hope it is just for the lyrics video. I don't mind another awesome remix, but from a marketing perspective it's not helpful to an album. After all, "WIFLFAG" and its remix release barely helped Music because the album version didn't sound anything like the video version.
Yeah that was a huge mistake on her part. She was riding high with "Music" and DTM, and not only did they use a remix for the video, but the video didn't get any airtime because of the content. And then we all know what happened with the fourth single. I swear Music was one of the biggest botch jobs in terms of singles and promotion. It could have been as big as ROL, if not bigger.
-
It's not hard at all.All they have to do is announce that GGW is the official "first single" from the album and that "GMAYL" was the teaser/buzz single.It won't be a big catastrophe
Yes, they could do that, and they've pulled stunts like that before, but everyone always sees through it. GMAYL was announced as the lead single. They can't take that back. And like I said earlier, "buzz singles" don't have official big-budget videos and radio add dates.
-
The other thing about Adele is that she's always slightly off pitch. She gets so much love for her voice, but it DRIVES ME CRAZY. Obviously Madonna is just as bad, but people don't go around praising her vocals like she's Whitney Houston.
-
I know nothing about EFMT, but why does everyone keep a) accusing people who say something negative of being a Gaga fan as if liking Gaga somehow automatically makes you a Madonna hater, and b) keep misinterpreting everyone's join date?
If you don't like what someone is saying, just ignore them!
-
PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE REAL.
i just hope it means the single is coming soon, too. its easy to rip mp3's from vevo, so no need to wait too long.

^ "Deeper and Deeper," not "Die Another Day"! Context clues!
"Deeper and Deeper" entered the Hot 100 dated 12/5/92; the Erotica album debuted on the Billboard 200 dated 11/7/92. So, no, radio was not playing "Deeper and Deeper" when the album was released. "Erotica" faded as fast as it did because it had negative listener reaction. The audience wanted poppier Madonna, and so it got it with "Deeper and Deeper."
Yes, but singles couldn't debut on the Hot 100 until they were released commercially. Airplay began earlier. It might not have started before the album dropped, but it was no later than release week. I definitely remember hearing them playing it as soon as they got their hands on the album. At least in NYC. I miss those days.

If the video is indeed shot in B&W I'm sure there will be color effects.
