When I heard this song for the first time I've notice the guitar style playing in the background. As I continued to listen to the song Pharrel and Madonna says "Wendy". I thought I was hearing things so looked at the credits in the cd booklet. Sure thing there is Wendy's name next to guitar. Very funky!!!

Love this song

"SHE'S NOT ME"
by Madonna
Written and Produced by Pharrell and Madonna
Special Guest: Wendy Melvoin on guitar

Sheet, madonna sucks on vocals here. Such a silly melody. But damn, that guitar is funky! Wendy has chops! I wish Prince took on another guitar player to play rhythm guitar...

Oh, madge, please close your legs on the next photoshoot...

DOnt tell Maddy that..you know she will open up a little bit more just for saying that

First let me say I was a Madonna fan since her first single and had all her albums until Ray of Light.


Now..... what the f*ck is this crap? THIS is representative of what Pharell is supposed to do? I thought he was some great producer?? This sounds like something someone did in Garageband on a lark.

That "bridge" comes out of nowhere and is not very smoothly integrated.

And is that Pharell "singing" at the end? what the f*CK???

i am shocked, amazed and appalled at how much this song sucks.

really? don't you pretty universally dislike Madonna?

i love it, one of the few tracks on the first Madonna album that I don't love.

I would have to agree with most of the comments on the ENTIRE Madonna cd. As a fan, her latest release is her weakest and most disappointing yet. 3 maybe 4 decent songs.

For a shockingly solid CD try Donna Summer's new CD "Crayons". She nailed it!

no way...i have almost all of her work and find American Life & Confessions to be her only major clunkers...I have yet to hear Hard though...but this song sucks!!!

sosgemini said:

Lol. I find Ray of Light, American Life & Confessions to be the trinity of Madonna perfection, with Like a Prayer being her best pop album and one of the Top Ten pop albums of all time.

Anyway, I really like "She's Not Me", lyrically and musically and then topped off by a Wendy name check. Fucking awesome!

oh, and long time!

I love the song She's Not Me. Actually, I like the entire album and I will have it on full blast!

As usual its hated by some and loved by some. On the Music and More forum it was one of the last two tracks that people really did love.

Hard Candy is...to me her best she ever put out...Like A Prayer is classic Madonna but Oh Father and Spanish Eyes and Dear Jessie just dont do it for me...plus that horrid version of Express Yourself
