I like it.

It's a charity song,it's supposed to be corny and boring I mean,honestly....how many charity songs are actually good?

"4 the tears in your eyes"

anyway, i like "hey you" just fine. it's ok, nice tie over song till
the new album is released. it's like a b-side that never was, lol.

It annoys me because I think the melody is quite strong. Its just everything else - the lyrics, her singin, the production, are very poor indeed. I think its positive its just a charity download. When it comes to her charity donated songs, it probably ranks highly - but im thankful its not an indication of the next album.

My hopes for the new record are that she funks it up a bit, piles on the reverb, and hires some decent backing singers. Oh yeah, and starts writing some decent lyrics too. I've not liked most of her lyrics since Ray Of Light (although Music had some cool ones). She better not make no cheap ass videos neither. She sure is getting mean in her old age. Remember when she funded the Express Yourself video out of her own pocket. Thats artistic ambition for you. Nowadays she isnt interested unless her cut is big enough.

Why spend huge amounts of money on videos that MTV don't even play? It's a different time now as opposed to the days of Express Yourself.

It's not up to her standards (I agree with CrozzaUK...it sounds cheap!). I just hope the album is better, too.

Shockingly, I came across this song on the Sirius channel Starlite (which plays light rock/pop type stuff from the eighties to present). THey don't have DJs on this channel, so it's not like somebody was a fan and decided to play it as something off the playlist.

It's not great. But it's not her worst.


That honor goes to "One More Chance"


But also, there's Shoo-Bee-Doo, Jimmy Jimmy, Love Makes The World Go Round, What Can You Lose, In This Life, Runaway Lover and I'm So Stupid still ahead of it in the "Madonna's Worst Song" contest.

Yeah, I'm not too impressed.

SoulAlive said:

I mean, do you really think she's gonna shoot her nut on a freebie?

Ace said:

Heh. But this kind of "charity" is like Pilgrims giving Indians blankets infested with small pox

peppeken said:

I didnt like it either Too corny

SoulAlive said:

Is this a joke or are you that much of a sycophant?

jayaredee said:

I agree.Music videos are obsolete these days.I'm not saying she should stop making them,but there's really no need to "go all out" with them,anymore.Why spend a million dollars on a video that won't even get shown that much?

Ace said:

true

She's saving the good stuff for her own album

"american pie" & "Mer girl" are her worst songs evr!!!

worst madonna songs ever, for my two cents:

"pretender"
"love makes the world go round"
"dear jessie"
"cry baby"
"mer girl"
"little star"
"let down your guard"
"like a flower"
"push"
"hey you"

Xavier23 said:

I have no problem with "Mer Girl," but that hideous cover of "American Pie" is indeed her worst song.

oh i forgot

xstatic process...what a piece of dung that one is

you guys speak as if her version of "american pie" never happened.

shanti/ ashtangi is a piece of shit too

Xavier23 said:

thats my fave song off ROL. gotta play it real loud though

LightOfArt said:

i like that song too. i think it's a little ridiculous, but that's mostly why i like it.

Anxiety said:

We are on the same wavelength today, huh?

peppeken said:

it's not horrible, but it's not what i expected

badujunkie said:

Leave this forum now! That song is hotness. I love the fact that it sounds very rough sounding. Should have been on the album. Almost sounds like it was inspired by her "Girl 6" role.

Anxiety said:

or "spotlight" for that matter

VinnyM27 said:

"Let Down Your Guard" should have been on the 'Bedtime Stories' album,along with "Your Honesty".The one track that should have been removed is the filler track "Don't Stop".

SoulAlive said:

Couldn't agree less. Madonna's b-sides have always sucked. "Your Honesty" has a weak chorus and terrible lyrics. "Let Down Your Guard" has potential with the beat and the intro but once her vocals go all Paula Abdul, it's a mess.

badujunkie said:

yeah, I actually like "Don't Stop" more than either of these tracks


I think they're only elevated by fans because they're nice bonus surprises, but most would think they're the weak links if they were actually on the album.
