IslandBreeze Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love GMAYL. I have since I heard it last year. It's unpretentions and a so catchy. I love the video and let's all agree that it was not a buzz single. I have my theories on why it didn't sell as well but to say it didn't sell because it's a bad song is ridiculous. Katy Perry has had 5 unpretentions and catchy number one singles. Celebration sounds like most songs on the radio now and it did even worse. Anyway, I'm glad we got this video and the performance on Super Bowl. I think GMAYL is a lot like Angel. Not a huge chart performance but it's one of her poppiest songs. It's not a Jimmy Jimmy. Anyway, how many more enjoy it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtzlplk Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 At first, i really didn't like it, even dismissing it as a re-hash of Beautiful Stranger and Amazing... but I must admit the cheering at that time was very catchy... I learned to love it around December when W.E. screenings are in full force, made ma wanted to listen to this new era thru MASTERPIECE and the GMAYL leak... Loved it to the full ever since the video and the final version came out... GMAYL, 38th MADONNA TOP 10 in the HOT100, 4 more than her closest rival, the Beatles... Here's to looking forward to 41st #1 in the DANCE CHARTs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Love it. Fun and catchy with some classic Madonna themes and just a tad of sass. Her voice is wonderful as always. Play the song often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattress Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Signed. I love sixties influenced new-wavy pop and I love Madonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutrocks Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I liked it when it first leaked, and I like it now with the added changes and guest vocalists. But I guess I am biased since I am not too picky about what Madonna sings and releases. Over all, she doesn't just feed us shit songs. But I guess everyone has their opinions of what are shitty songs and what aren't. Doesn't matter to me. I'll still enjoy them while others will simply bitch and moan about them...

Ugly Hecty Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love it. Great song and great video. People are overreacting too much on this anyway - but then again, it was that way with "American Life". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Together Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I LUV this song! It's fresh, it's happy, and it's got such a fun beat! I always scream along to it and smile great job, Madonnz!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyDietrich Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Is this song mostly liked or disliked by fans? I love it, still can't stop listening to it and the video is my fave since 2003. Such a fun, feel good song with a great sense of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Not in my top 20 Madonna tracks or anything, but I like it. I still rate it higher than "4 Minutes," in which she gave Timberlake too much to do (she should have sang most of the track). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Papi Si. Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I like it and I can't wait to hear it in the context of the album, and of course, LIVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanLife95825 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 i've been very vocal about the fact that i dig "GMAYL." that being said, i think we all know she has it in her to come up with something a helluva lot better. meaning maybe a little deeper, and for sure with a bit more of a punch. i think that's what's got some fans upset. i WANT madonna to go big. i WANT madonna to kick ass. i WANT madonna.

Nessie Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It's not a terrible song. It's just a poor lead single choice. I'm sure it fits well as an album track but it is what it is, a fun pop effort that has a good vibe in it but lacks the feeling of a lead song to launch an album. I can definitely enjoy it as an album filler just like 'Amazing' is on Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest groovyguy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Luv the song and the video. The more I listen to it, the more I luv it. Luv the 60s surf sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyHigh76 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 While it's not one of my *favorite* Madonna singles,I enjoy it for what it is: a light,fun,catchy electropop number.The song did what it was supposed to do: it gave Madonna her 38th American Top 10 hit,announced her return,and was the perfect way to promote/hype her SuperBowl appearance.Mission accomplished.

elijah Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I dont understand the comparison to Amazing or Beautiful Stranger. Both were strong, clever, adult songs. GMAYL is better than 4 minutes deffinately, but its really childish... I love certain parts in it (Dont play that stupid game...), but I hate others (I see you coming...) and I understand why it failed. The people wanted Frozen, Hung Up heck even Music, but we got GMAYL thats just not strong enough... I cant understand how you go from an album filled with amazing songs (COADF minus Push) to this being your lead single. HU, Sorry, GT, Jump are all stronger than GMAYL.

Carta Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love it! It's as catchy as hell. If it had been sung by anyone other than a woman in her 50s, it would have been much better received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollhouse Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Love it to bits. Its so different compared what is out there at the moment. It would have been so easy for her to come up with some crappy Guetta song but she chose another path I love it probably more than any 2000 single so far..its just perfect.

GimmeSomeMo Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love the 60's surf music feel. I think MDNA should have a 60's section on the tour. It could have GMAYL, Beautiful Stranger and she could reinvent an older song with guitar. It's win-win. YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyHigh76 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If it had been sung by anyone other than a woman in her 50s, it would have been much better received. Absolutely.If Katy Perry had recorded this song,it would be Number One right now.Some fans act as if it's the *quality* of the song that prevented it from being a massive hit,but ageism plays a huge role.

promise to try Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 is not her best song, but I like it more than others that are always praised, as beautiful stranger.maybe people were waiting for mature madonna? and this is highschool cheerleader material...but well done material.Anyways, I hope the next single is more "europe oriented" than this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest astonishing! Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love it. Insanely catchy and has a great, fun video. And the performance at the Superbowl absolutely brought the song to life for me, as she does with all her songs. I think both the raps are great, they fit perfectly. I'm definitely going to want some more depth for the album, but as far as singles go it's great to have something which is pure fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Absolutely.If Katy Perry had recorded this song Some have inferred that she essentially did. As for the 60s tour section, cool. But I'm all about "Run". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adreeyen Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I adore this song. It's so great, it's so much fun and at a loss of all pretenses. For me, it's on par with I Love New York, which also wouldn't make a good single, but is still strong song with a lot of energy and a punch. I literally cannot wait to own the album so I can pop the CD in my car and bump GMAYL at high volumes wherever I drive during the summer. I'm sure that will feel amazing and I think that's what this song was created for. This song is MADE for that. To make listeners FEEL happy. And that's exactly what it does for me. Charts don't dictate my tastes, but it's cool that the song made the top ten. The video is great and she looks effortlessly sexy while still having fun. M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj are two of my favorite artists and having them on a great Madonna song is just superb. The single cover is hot. She performed the hell out of the song at the Super Bowl and gave it its rightful place among her hits. What's not to love about this song?
