Do you "L-U-V Madonna's" new music?

Well, let me put this in one word: No. 

Why not you ask?

Some lines in the chorus, in particular in her new song, "Give Me All Your Luvin," puts it into perspective:

"Don’t play the stupid game
Cause I’m a different kind of girl
Every record sounds the same
You’ve gotta step into my world
Give me all your love and give me your love
(L-U-V- Madonna)"

If she really wants to make a comeback into 2012 with music for our time, then:
  • "Every record" should not sound the same 
  • We should have music that may have qualities of the 90s, but not make us feel like we are transported back into a time when dressed in full denim was not shunned upon
  • Music must be current or breaking boundaries for the future of music
  • Have music that shows you are not a 13-yr old cheerleader (L-U-V Madonna!...barf!)
Some redeeming qualities of the song:
  • The marketing of the music is incredible - a video clip premier on American Idol and the song is being played on all top music stations in the country every hour for the entire weekend!
  • Nicki Minaj - While any musician would be more than excited to be featured in a Madonna song, Nicki adds some "modern" vibes to the song right before it goes back into being a cheesy, dated 90s tribute song. 
The most accurate comparison (from the tweets of from the Miami Herald) for this song is that it is like "sugarfree gum."


So here is the music video...sigh:
