Here’s my review of Madonna’s latest single _American Life_

1. LYRICS: 5/10  
I was going to give it a 3/10, 'cause it’s real crap, but after 3min 10sec it finally gets a bit better.

2. MUSIC: 4/10  
Good in the very beginning, good beat and nice Spanish accoustic guitar pieces. But that’s it. Nothing “wow”.

3. CONCLUSION: 9/20  
Not mega-bad, but it’s still in the crap zone. For me. I just don’t get why every radio station likes it so much. The clip is a bit special, yes, but it has nothing to do with the music.

If you’re searching for an alternative “Bad world - I’m a victim” kind of song in the POP section, try _Why You Wanna Trip On Me_, by Michael Jackson. Good lyrics, super vocals and awesome beat.

I am still waiting to see the video - she pulled it before it went national yesterday. I wasnted to hear what all the hype was about.

I kind of like the song to be honest.

Madonna experiences american life huh? Thats laughable.

Its a widely known fact that the material girl wipes her babies bottoms with crisp 100 dollar bills.
