I have to admit that I was nervous when I heard that Nicki Minaj and MIA were featured on the lead single, Give Me All Your Luvin'. I feel like people would see it as an attempt to stay relevant. Personally, I don't think she needs anyone to carry her. Some of my favorite songs are from her most recent albums. I didn't like the demo of the song that leaked onto the internet a few months ago. I was not anticipating liking, but the final version instantly grew on me. Nicki and MIA really contributed to the song, without taking over. It's a perfect mix old and new!
This past weekend was a whirlwind for Madonna. She released the single last Friday and the geared up for her first time performing at the Super Bowl. What is she going to do? What songs is she going to sing? I had so many questions! It was the first time that I had an interest in watching the Super Bowl. In my opinion, she killed it! Her entrance to Vogue was stunning and free of any flaws. It was so regal and powerful! I die every time I watch it. Sure, she had a misstep during Music, but who cares? When everyone can sing and dance in front of over 100 million people flawlessly, then I'll criticize her. Give Me All Your Luvin' was appropriate for the show and having Like A Prayer was...almost spiritual. I sound dramatic, but it was just so beautiful and powerful! I give her performance an A+
Lastly, I pre-ordered the album on iTunes and saw the track-listing. Some of the titles, I Fucked Up and Gang Bang, piqued my interested. What direction is this album going to take? Is it going to be pure fun? Will it have some deeper tracks? Will he be somewhat generic like Hard Candy or a masterpiece like Confessions on a Dance Floor or Ray of Light. So many questions and too much speculation.
MDNA will be released on March 26th and I can't wait! I'm so excited to have the Queen return to her rightful seat on the throne!
