Most people who can tolerate that album say it's one of their favorites. It grates my nerves though. | |

Xagain said: RZR said: oh yeah, i forgot that one. and the title track. I know it sucks, but the title track got in my head for days. So I like it in a masochistic kind of way.  But I really passionately hate most of that album. 'Cept "Nobody Knows Me." And I'm one of the few that really loves "Die Another Day."it's one of my favorite Madonna albums "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss | |

Btw, other American life songs that I usually don't skip Title track (awful lyrics, but musically is pretty decent) Hollywood Nothing fails X-Static process See, I just don't get why people love "Nothing Fails." I hate that song. That whole "I'm not religious but I want to pray" part that goes on for frickin' ever. Huh-uh. it's my favorite Madonna song  "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss | |

Cinnamon234 said: I must be the only person who doesn't hate this song. I really don't think it's that bad. The song is kind of catchy. It's been stuck in my head all day.
I don't hate it,I don't love it.It's a charity song,so I wasn't really expecting much Charity songs are always sappy and boring,anyway. | |

I like "Super Pop".She should have put it on 'Confessions',instead of the lame "How High". | |

No,it's not a single.There are no plans for a video,remixes,and it's not being sent to radio.It's strictly a download song to promote the upcoming Live Earth concert.She's gonna perform this song along with a couple of older songs.It's not gonna appear on her new album,either. | |

ehuffnsd said: from drownedMadonna
''Hey You'' features similar lyrics with "Keep The Trance'', Madonna unreleased Our friend and community member Weissman has pointed out a very interesting thing. He has noticed that the lyrics of "Hey You" written and produced by Madonna with Pharrell features several similar lyrics with Madonna's unreleased (and probably unfinished) track called "Keep The Trance" written and produced with Mirwais and Stuart Price. So maybe "Keep The Trance" inspired "Hey You"... KEEP THE TRANCE 2005 Ciccone / Ahmadzaï / Price Hey you Don’t give up Either good or bad There is still a trance around you Keep the trance Hey you Be yourself Don’t be shy Here’s the reason why You got to keep the trance Keep the trance Keeping it together You’ll make it all right Come on check it out And we can keep it tonight Keeping it together You’ll make it all right Come on check it out And we can keep it all night Keep the trance Young girl (young boy) Open up your heart That is what you’re born for If you wanna change you gotta Keep the trance Keep the trance Hey you (old man) Remember this None of this is real Including how you feel That’s why you keep the trance Keep the trance Keep keep keep Keeping it together You’ll make it all right Come on check it out And we can keep it tonight Keeping it together You’ll make it all right Come on check it out And we can keep it tonight Keep the trance Yeah Keep the trance Yeah Hey you Love yourself If u never can Love anybody else You can keep the trance Yeah Keep the trance Yeah Come on Come on Young boy (young girl) Now open up your heart This is what you’re born for If you wanna change you gotta Keep the trance Keep the trance Come on Keeping it together You’ll make it all right Come on check it out And we can keep it tonight Keeping it together You’ll make it all right Come on check it out And we can keep it tonight Keep the trance Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on Keeping it together You’ll make it all right Come on check it out And we can keep it tonight Keeping it together You’ll make it all right Come on check it out And we can keep it tonight Thanks to Weissman to bring the lyrics of "Keep The Trance" to the light of fans and notice this interesting similarities. seems like it might be throw away for her.  very interesting.I'd love to hear this song! Is it an outtake from 'Confessions'? | |

RZR said: Hey You isn't that good, but it is encouraging in a way; that the whole album isn't going to be very trendy hip-hop/r&b. that it'll be somewhat diverse. especially if this is one produced by Pharrell.
The album is gonna be very diverse,according to insiders.It will contain dance songs,R&B tracks,rock songs,and ballads.To those folks who think it will be Madonna's "hip-hop album",they're gonna be really surprised,lol. According to an insider who has heard several songs,the Pharrell tracks in particular are totally different than the usual hip-hop/R&B stuff he does for other artists. | |

Well i have to say im really not feeling this new song. Great melody - like the acoustic guitar strummy vibe, but im totally hating the lyric,her singing, and the production.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO REVERB. Remember when M couldnt do a single song without it - like she was scared to hear her voice up close - but ever since Mirwais stripped it back on Music - she's hardly used it at all. This song is crying out for it, but still she uses that up close vocal recording that makes her sound whiney - YUK. As for the song - it does sound like an unfinished song polished up for the purposes of charity. I really dont think the new album will sound anything like this. Remember Music was a million miles away from American Pie and TSS. Pharrell is probably only producing it because she needed to do the song for Liveearth, and he was working with her at the time. Its a total throwaway song - a gesture for live earth more than a hot new M & Pharrell collaboration. That said the melody has been in my head all morning. I dont care what people say - M knows how to write a catchy pop melody and hook. | |

I actually like her vocal on this song it sounds clear and fresh...reminds me of her vocal on "Love Profusion",for some reason. | |

The lyrics are crap, true. I'm sick of that whole "Love yourself before you can love some else" crap. And that poets and prophets will envy her? Come on. What kind of prophet would envy Madonna? | |

Well thank GOD, I say! I hate crap/sh** hop!! How did this thread become a referendum on American Life?! For the record, I'm an AL lover...esp. Nothing Fails! 
Yeah, why IS everyone hatin' on Superpop, I liked that! Finally...Hey You is NOT so bad for a charity single...though I STILL say I'm glad it won't be on the album!

It's a nice, pleasant song, not her best but appropriate for Live Earth. I guess I like sappy songs. | |

Depends on what you mean 'considered'... as a single song released for promotional purposes then it most certainly qualifies as a 'single'. It may not count to official digital download charts, though. | |

she's got much, much worse.... Shoo Bee Doo Jimmy Jimmy Love Makes The World Go Round Cry Baby In This Life One More Chance (WORST EVER!!!)
