I used to hate She's Not Me, but I like it now. I think it has kinda generic lyrics and there's nothing special about it, but it's a nice song to dance and have fun ^_^ The ending part is a little bit tyring for me, but I adapted myself to it after a while.

Madge is #1 again this week in Japan.

I haven't stopped listening to Beat Goes On.. ever since the demo version was leaked... Quite surprised actually, the demo was very standard Neptunes stuff. This is probably the first album in ages where Pharrell has done something awesome.. :O.. about damned time too!

Is the tour coming to Australia by any chance?:innocent

I said I was late cause I just started listening to the album .

Wow....I bet Bennie K is pissed. :bgiggle This is like their 3rd time being cheated out of the #1 spot.

Awww....I thought Madonna would have at least came to the south this time around. :( I hope she does...soon.

Hi guys. I've just listened to Hard Candy and i have to say..............i feel kinda dissapointed :(
I didn't love any of the songs. They still have to grow on me. The only ones i like so far are 4 minutes, give it 2 me and heartbeat *maybe miles away as well haha*

And i can't describe how much i hated spanish lesson lol! Srsly, that song is just like watching Dora the explorer. Sheez.

Oh, and btw vinyl, now i finally understand why "your sugar is raw" lmao :laugh

^:roflmao @ da Dora reference!

*wipes tear from under my eye*

I'm reading the BOOK "MADONNA - LIKE AN ICON" right now and by every page I love and understand her more and more ... amazing ... It's a biography written by Lucy O'Brien and tells the story of her from the beginning till the "Confessions" era ... AMAZING!!!

I might pick up a copy of Hard Candy at Costco later today. Candy Shop has really grown on me, and I can't get it out of my head. :laugh

What's your favorite Madonna music video? Mine is Like a Prayer. It's just amazing and awesome. :luv2

hard to decide ... hmmm .... I'd say "Justify my love" .... on the other hand ... "Vouge" ... and then again "frozen" ... or is it blah ... I really dunno

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ster-large.jpg

According to what Greek newspaper Eleytheros Tipos posted today the 'Sticky and Sweet' tour will have its Greek stop in Athens in the end, on September 27. From what the paper says the news is coming straight from LiveNation although it hasn't been made official yet. This date was originally posted as part of the tour schedule on Live Nation's website but was then removed. So, Greek fans, apparently there's hope yet!

Justin and Madonna on Ellen - reportage

Madonna appeared in a pre-taped message from the candy shop she did all her interviews in NYC. She said that she thinks Ellen is a great dancer with a hot body and she thanked her for promoting her album.

Timberlake then came out and danced to "4 Minutes" with Ellen. Timberlake revealed that when the music for :"4 Minutes" was conceived, he wanted lyrics that were sexy and thematically more aligned with his last album. Madonna wanted something more serious. He told her that she can’t save the world in four minutes. Madonna decides to make the song "4 Minutes to Save the World."

"Change" closing credits with "Miles Away" by Madonna

As I've reported a few months ago, Madonna has licensed Miles Away, expected to be the album’s third single, as the theme for a drama called Change on Japan’s Fuji TV.
Today you can watch the closing credits of the series that aired yesterday with Miles Away in the background (as you can hear, the song was slightly edited)

My favourite video from Maddie.. It's kinda hard to pick one. @_@

I got my Sticky & Sweet tickets this morning through the ICON presale! I managed to get pretty good seats for Vancouver so you BC people should come see her and meet me! I'm a little left of center and twelve rows from the stage but I can do better than that for sure. Just have to wait until the date gets closer. :) *beyond excited, you don't even know*

Emotional Madonna Screens Documentary at Cannes

A choked up Madonna premiered her documentary, I Am Because We Are, about orphans in Malawi, on Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival.

"This is a film I want the world to see," she said.

Dressed in Chanel haute couture and heels so high she twice grabbed the edge of a seat to steady herself, the Material Girl, 49, sounded near tears as she stood before the audience (including Sharon Stone) at the special screening.

"It's an incredible opportunity for me to be able to show this film in Cannes," she said, noting that she "held my breath" when she sent it to Cannes festival director Thierry Fremaux. "I think I turned purple," she joked.

"To say that this film is a labor of love is trivial," she said. "It's also the journey of a lifetime. I hope you all are as inspired watching it as I was making it." (The singer's adoption of a Malawian boy, David Banda, is nearly complete.)

One light moment: Fremaux teased her about introducing the film in French "because I know she speaks it."

Laughed Madonna: "Not so good."
