Its the only song that can save this era and the best track on MDNA by miles.

Funny this seems to be the most popular track. I'm not a fan personally. I'm Addicted is my favourite, followed by I Don't Give A. Can't wait to hear both of those live.

I went off MDNA pretty fast. I loved it at first but as the months passed I found myself caring less. I just hope the tour meets my expectations.

I doubt anything is going to save the album now. It's as dead as a dodo in most countries. She should just finish tour and move on.

No. I don't see Madonna selling singles again. What she needs now is radio airplay to boost album sales. Of course she could go back to making truly amazing albums that might also help. There are moments of greatestness on MDNA just not enough.

This is my second favorite song off of 'MDNA' after 'Gang Bang', but I don't think we should get our hopes up. It would be a good move to release a song from the deluxe edition that some percentage of casual fans don't own (a la 'Superbass'). Still, it can't save the album. The most she can shift is 2 million worldwide and I think the only strong enough record on the album that can push the album effectively is 'Gang Bang'. Controversy is key in terms of gaining new fans or winning over casual listeners.

I love MDNA although Beautiful killer is most probably my least favourite track. As with the singles chart nobody really cares about it anymore. Digital singles have killed the market as for the album it's a case of ride the backlash. Its a fact that Madonna no longer appeals to the younger market. Why would she the 15-30 year old market is not going to idolise a woman in her fifties. Madonna remains the biggest selling female artist regardless of what anyone says. This upsets younger artists and fans of others, it also upsets a lot of the media as she doesn't fit into a box to be labelled and shelved. Media likes to be able to control and manipulate Madonna doesn't to conform to this so they try to discredit her at every opportunity. Madonna has constantly battled stereotypes and stereo typical roles in her career much to the disgust of the public and fans. Currently she is facing the biggest backlash of ageism, what it has highlighted in this country is just how ageist tabloid papers and radio is. You are always going to get other people and fans writing nasty comments on forums or saying its rubbish it's crap every single artist faces that on forums. Regardless the fact isMDNA generally received positive reviews and made it to NO1 in forty countries something that very few artists achieve in their lifetime.

That is exactly what is wrong with MDNA. It only feels half finished. If she had spent another two months on it I bet the results would have been completely different. Even William Orbit said he wasn't given enough time to complete tracks.

Love Spent (which I think is the best track on there) for one was only supposed to be on the deluxe until three weeks before release when it got itself upgraded. That proves they were still messing with the album right until the last minute.

Exactly. MDNA believe it or not, is one of her best received albums. So the fact she won many of the critics over in the new 'Gaga/Perry/Adele' age proves there is still life in Madonna yet. Its just a case of finding out where, and I hate using this word , older Madonna fits in but there is certainly still room for her as M is still able to top the charts with her albums.

It's an album that is half good and half bad and the bonus single idea should be scraped too. The biggest WTF for me is the singles that have been released, they are some of the weakest on the album, what were they thinking. I'm Addicted, Love spent, Gang bang and Falling free all ignored for mediocrity. Who the hell made the decision to release those singles, GGW is a generic bore, GMAYL is bleh and now Turn up the radio yuk. These are awful singles IMO

She needs to get her arse in the studio with one producer and work properly on an album with 100% input on her part and not come out until she and her co-writer have created something she can be proud of. I don't care if she is locked away for 6 months, she needs to find her heart with music again and not care what the hell is going on around her music wise. It really frustrates me how this album was rushed out just for the purpose to tour. She needs to realise we want incredible music we know she is capable of, not a rush job and singing other writers generic songs which are crap.

Love Spent (which I think is the best track on there) for one was only supposed to be on the deluxe until three weeks before release when it got itself upgraded. That proves they were still messing with the album right until the last minute
It is frightening and just shows how clueless they were, I mean the fact that Love Spent was a bonus track until last minute is beyond mind boggling.

Beautiful Killer is the best track on there and I can't see why it's only on the deluxe. I think it would have done really well as a single

Madonna has said before she has awful judgement in deciding singles as she said she'd never have thought songs like Cherish and Into The Groove would've made good singles. She also wanted HC to open with Candy Shop but fortunately Warner wouldn't let her but it seems Interscope let her did what she wants and as she is probably surrounded by yes men then she has probably decided the singles

I agree, she needs someone to tell her NO sometimes or 'that song is shit' to knock some sense in to her. I bet if she was still with Warners those singles would not have been released *sigh*.

I think that some songs on the album (like I'm Addicted and Love Spent) need work on the vocals. They seem like they're just there and I think they sound thin (I can't think of the word I want, sorry ).

But if Madonna wants to release more singles then I'm all for it. As long as they aren't half-assed tour videos like we got with Miles Away. Or just 'while we're here' videos like Give It 2 Me.
