Dr Lecter Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Still amazing A proper cross over hit. The youngsters like my brother and friends loved it when it was out And in a club . Amazing
nick00 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Still listen to it regularly, especially loudly on my old school stereo system! Also, really did not like it at first. A few big M fans I knew also complained A LOT about it back in 08. It was actually very controversial. Some M fans at the time jumped on gaga's bandwagon instead.
elijah Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Not a fan. On the other hand, I think TBGO would have been amazing and fabulous!!! A perfect single!
sul8323 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 The song is alright but her look in the video is her worst ever. The make up and costume don't do her any favors What? "Worst look ever"? I don't think so. respectfully I disagree.
beautyiswhereIfoundit Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 I like it. I started to like more after all HC era has ended. But I feel she's a backing vocal on her own song too.
nick00 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 What? "Worst look ever"? I don't think so. respectfully I disagree. Thought she looked great too and the video is overall very good (at leas to me).
IsaacHarris Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Timbaland's horns are perfection. Instrumentally, my favorite single of the 2000's BY FAR. Love her vocals on the 1st verse: "I want somebody... to speed it up for me then take it down slow...
IsaacHarris Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 I think TBGO would have been amazing and fabulous!!! A perfect single! A missed opportunity! It would've made a fab video.
madgefan Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 The song wasn't the best Madonna could have done to follow Confession's successful vibe among the general public BUT it was a good choice in its own standards, much better than GMAYL by the way
Skin Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (I did not yet know who Madonna was as a 13 year old, of course, that didn't come too much later). 13 years old living in NYC and you never knew of Madonna?
madmark Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I really busted a move to this song at the last Madonna night I went to. Sounds so damn banging in a club!
Roland Barthes Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I love the instrumental intro without fucking Timbaland singing and doing his annoying beat box thing. The vocals are one of the first thing Demo Castellon worked on, he detailed how he cut and mixed them for a magazine. Since then he recorded, cut and mixed all her vocals and since then they are all shit. Living for love "i could get caught in bitterness" and Ghosttown "bound to breaaaak" are the same awful job as the mechanical & metallic sounding "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".
Moka Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I love 4 Minutes! And that video, wow... I hope her next lead single will be as strong as 4 Minutes!
Sloane Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I love it too and the video .. I mean the M parts, not Timberwink. Good remixes out there for this song too. Still listening in 2015.
LVX Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I love the horns & crow vocals! Only thing I don't like is Timbaland's "rapping" in the intro. It sounds even more ridiculous now than it did then.
imyourcandyperfumegirl Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 13 years old living in NYC and you never knew of Madonna? I know! Until about 2-3 years ago I had no idea Blonde Ambition Madonna, Ray of Light Madonna, and Hard Candy Madonna were all the same person. I thought it was all different artists because of how different the vibe and image were. And 4M was the first thing that I liked on my own, as opposed to something I heard on my dad's iPod. When I went through her discography the first time I was so surprised at how many songs I knew from like..... regular cultural osmosis and kept going "wow, I didn't know that was her too!"
Guest Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I love this song. When I first heard it, it didn't impress me. But now I absolutely love it.
kingvirtue Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Did a full-length version of that ORIGINAL/AWESOME clip ever come out??? It sounded soooo good. Surely everyone remembers what I am talking about (because I have no idea how to describe it!!!) lolol
tycole6 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I was literally just thinking yesterday how 4 minutes got an unjust reputation. Is it a song on the caliber of Like A Prayer or Frozen? No, but it wasn't meant to be that type of song. It was meant to be massively successful, get people united and moving. It did it's job and should have been a number one hit in the US. I remember it came out when I was a sophomore in HS and had it as my ringtone on whatever lame phone I had back then. The only thing I hate is the video. I really dislike it. The screen eating monster, the costumes. Although I love the B-roll released recently. Madonna looks way sexier in the B-roll than in the actual video.
Carta Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I loved it then and still love it now. It's eight years this month since we heard our first muffled snippet from the Jingle Ball....eight years! The world in general loved it and it was a bona fide smash hit in every country (her most recent, unfortunately). It's insanely catchy and a brilliant pop song!
Dr Lecter Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 So it was a pretty huge hit really wasn't it ?
Carta Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 So it was a pretty huge hit really wasn't it ? It was massive by anyone's standards! It was unlucky to miss the #1 spot in the US.
Flip The Switch Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Did a full-length version of that ORIGINAL/AWESOME clip ever come out??? It sounded soooo good. Surely everyone remembers what I am talking about (because I have no idea how to describe it!!!) lolol I lost that clip.
Guest Medoner Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 That whole album is the fucking bomb.
IsaacHarris Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 That whole album is the fucking bomb. FACT.
Dr Lecter Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 YES HARD CANDY RULES as I maintain its like she went back to the first album
