  1. I don't think Nicky Minaj would work on LFL. I think Alicia Keys and/or Sam Smith would make the most sense.

    But, it would surprise everyone IF Minaj were to put in effort to "class up" her act. Sam Smith is a one hit wonder - there's no point in investing in him, and Alicia Keys, with her sanctimonious face, is seriously mind-numbingly boring. Minaj is a diamond in the rough; beautiful and talented and full of promise.

  2. .............

    And if they are smart, they will release a new song every week leading to the album release. That way, Madonna will hit no1 on all i-tunes stores around the world every week with multiple songs and get A LOT of exposure.

    But, this is too good of an idea. You know how Madonna likes to keep all of her good songs a secret and not let the general public hear them - like MDNA.

  3. ....... what i am puzzled with is you say it's "mis-timed"? They released it the weekend of the Superbowl................what was so mis-timed about it?

    I think that it was "mis-timed" in the grand scheme of things. I always say that a pop star needs to be riding a zeitgeist in society, and GMAYL missed it by a mere wave.

    Madonna was away (album-wise) for 4 years. People were expecting her to come back (it was referred to a a comeback from the grave, basically) with something hard - like other songs around the same time. She instead came back with a very happy and melodic vibe which I believe put people off ONLY because this particular vibe missed the expectation. People were expecting an "ass-raping" but, instead, got a "fingering." I believe that it was a very calculated risk by Madonna to release something so different from anything else on the radio, but the risk didn't pay off.

    People are very susceptible to media narratives and the narrative of GMAYL was a failed vibe. But, it is clearly not true because the song is melodically air-tight. There is no reason for the song to have failed except for missing the narrative expectation. Justin Bieber is a shit-head according to the media; but why? Beyonce is perfect; why? GMAYL failed; why? People just follow a media narrative, and that's how history is made. I still think that if GMAYL hit that wave, which it missed, it would have been a huge hit. So, the question of whether Madonna worked harder on Rebel heart than on MDNA is not a question that can be answered lightly.
