this from a man who STILL rates Goldfrapp - a poor man's Suzi Quatro / Sheila B Devotion hybrid

I love Price's Les Rhythms Digitales stuff and a lot of his remixes, plus he never fails to turn in a great production job, but 'Hung Up' is a big no, no, no for me.
Frankly I've never believed that old chestnut about talent borrowing and genius stealing, and this is little more than Madge's desperate zeitgeist-grasping and psychotic attention-seeking set to the infinitely filtered strains of the central and defining aspect of a legendary pop classic.
She's capable of much, much more.

dignity is overrated
I personally still prefer Madonna's Immaculate Collection days. It all seems a bit savvy and calculated now.

I could probably shift a hundred weight of dogs eggs if forced to listen to that on the john.
I bet you couldn't live through that experience!
She split up with her boyfriend ffs! Does BLOOD run through your veins??

If I'd had to put up with Sean Penn's constant whining, splitting up from him would be cause to take a "Holiday" and count my "Lucky Stars".
Which coincidentally are the best tracks she ever recorded.
I preferred Cyndi Lauper, out of the two Eighties popstrels... mainly because Cyndi Lauper stayed in the Eighties!

Madonna nicked her early style off her, all the bangles and crucifixes and legwarmers, and don't be saying for a second that you consider Madonna's singing voice to be of worth.
No amount of Kaballah bollocks is going to change that.
Say what you like about Alison Goldfrapp, but that girl can sing.
And she didn't have to sleep with her producers to get a hit record.
nonsense, pk. they were pretty much contemporaries, and Madonna has never sounded as shrill as Lauper. and if you think there's a SINGLE Lauper song to match Like A Prayer or Ray of Light you're a muppet

The main reason for my preference for Lauper was not her musical abilities, it was that she stayed permanently consigned to the Eighties, along with Toni Basil, Toyah Wilcox, and Hazell Dean.
And "Time After Time" is the ballad Madonna always wanted to record.
"Like A Prayer" was just "lets be controversial and put a black Jesus in the video" and "Ray of Light" is a William Orbit track... her vocal is corrected and blended with the melody the same way any pop star with a dodgy voice would be.
If she'd stayed an Eighties pop star and left it she might have had my admiration - but her moving to this country, buying a £9million estate and claiming local ramblers "violate her human rights", as well as all this Kaballah bollocks - she can go fuck herself.
Give me Blondie any day.

I don't think anyone is particularly claiming that Madonna TM is a creative genius and an all round great (if they are, I for one would thoroughly disagree) - just that this record is particularly good pop.
Which it is, regardless of how anyone could make that record, regardless of the leotard busines, regrdless of her being an egotistical nutter......
and I like that Will Young record too....
