Nonoka Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 3 stars. Not really a strong song, but it's definitely fun to listen to! I don't like the muffled bass in the official version, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I really did love the 'M-A-D, don't make me' bit in the demo, shame it wasn't in the final mix, but I do love maya's bit in it, so it's like a win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elysium Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Official version is so much better...M.I.A. and Nicki actually add to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahafan02 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's a great little song...probably her most interesting single in a very long time...not up there with, say, like a prayer or frozen but worthy nonetheless....4 stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 OK- heard it all, saw the video, all of that. I. LUV. IT So much better than "4 Minutes." This is the start of Madonna's new era, on a new label. Total throwback to the early-days fun. And, I like how the lyrics could be read in different ways. Thumbs up, M-A-D. MADONNA! 4 Stars. I didn't listen to the demo, so I just voted whatever on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I gave it 5 stars (I really love this song ) and the official is better (though it's practically the same just with better quality and 2 great raps included).

horn Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I gave 5 stars! 4M made Madge looked more like a featured artist and desperately needed Justin & Timbaland stardom to get back into the game. Whereas this song, she OWNS it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrozenEyes Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think the video greatly improves the song for me. I love the video and it's pure fun feel. And she looks like she's having a great time. I'll say the final version is better than the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xanthium Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 4 stars Catchy as fuck. I've been listening to it nonstop and dancing around my house like a flamer. Only complaints I can think of are some of the lyrics which are a bit daft in parts. BUT her vocal delivery is spot on. I also kinda think M.I.A. is a bit wasted in the song. Her rap part isn't the strongest and she sounds kind of muted. I wish her part had more OOMPH cause I fucking love that bitch so much. So overall, the song is fantastic with just some minor gripes that are so minor that they don't even matter in the end. I hope this song is a big hit for her!

erotica blu Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The demo is Madonna only which I prefer. The guest artists are fine in their own right but add nothing for me here. The final mastered mix is a bastard compared to what we heard on the preview clip from Madonna in the studio. The label killed all the soul out of the actual production. I suppose this explains why BTW sounded so much like shit and yet people still embraced it. The loudness wars are killing music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollhouse Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Official version is much better but isn't this only the radio edit? The REAL official version is over 1 minutes longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistachristopha Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 5 stars all the way! I loved the demo version when it leaked, i love the official version even more, and the video is her best since orig. american life video! Perfection!!!

Ugly Hecty Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Everything about "GAYL" is FIRE. Madonna, the song, the video, M.I.A., Nicki, the raps! A+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The final mastered mix is a bastard compared to what we heard on the preview clip from Madonna in the studio. The label killed all the soul out of the actual production. But babe, what was played in the studio clip was a straight up instrumental. I will say though, I wouldn't be surprised if the song was supposed to be alot longer than 3 minutes. It sounds like there should have been an extra verse by Nicki, and a longer opening.

loomer Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I may need to hear it more, but I DOUBT it.. known that hook since November. Gut instinct tells me at most that's a 5/10 song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
