It Happened

Filed under: Madonna > Music Minute > Pharrell > Timbaland

hard-candymadonna__opt1.jpg

About half of Madonna's album leaked onto the Internet this weekend.

In total, six songs hit the net.

They are:

Heartbeat
Give It 2 Me
Miles Away
Incredible
She's Not Me
Beat Goes On

And, we must say: we're relieved!

The songs aren't straight up hip hop, as we were concerned, especially by the choice of 4 Minutes as the single.

The new material still stays true to Madonna's core as a pop/dance artist.

Oh, and by the way, the Pharrell songs blow Timbaland's out of the water!

Get stupid! Get stupid! Don't stop!

    Finally listened to the leaked songs and I'm aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh…WOW. This is pure delicious pop/dance music with an urban/r&b flavor. GIVE IT TO ME and BEAT GOES ON are genius. MILES AWAY is the best Madonna mid-tempo song in a long time. SHE'S NOT ME and HEARTBEAT are amazing as well. Madonna, you are INCREDIBLE.

    Mariah wins, it's MORE mariah, she made it she wrote it and each sonds is good to very good, she is the talented if you like it or not…
    Madonna album yeah it's okay, its more timbaland product than madonna's but yeah the fans won't care, she is not as talented, she is just a hype that's why she sells

  10. TIARA says – reply to this

    You idiots that don't know how\where to download this are the only reason the music industry is still standing on it's wobly legs… It's called thepiratebay.org and a program called uTorrent… search for the album, download the torrent, open the torrent file, and like magic, uTorrent will start to download the album…

    215

    madonna's new single is hot. she sells and she's made some great records in the past. no need to minimize her talent to make a point. most people will never accomplish what she has in the music world, the woman is definitely a talented musician and dedicated to her craft.

    223

    mandonna sucks. she is ugly. she has a gap-tooth. her hair looks shitty and needs a dye-job. her plastic surgery makes her looks even more ugly. she is a phony. she could give a shit about her fans. did i mention ugly? and old? and a fag hag?

  24. over the hill S & M hag says – reply to this


    224

    well - ok so here the old hag is again, wearing an S & M leather outfit, legs spread, with a whip in her mouth. Wow - that's original. The reason this 50-yr old hag has to pose like that is because her music sucks so she needs to do anything she can to get attention and sell music.

  25. Vadge needs help from YOUNG RELEVANT PEOPLE says – reply to this


    225

    ** yawn ** the reason this hag has to USE Pharrell, JT, and Timbaland (along with Britney back in the day) is to stay relevant with the young kids who buy the music since most of them weren't even BORN when she first came out. She is old and ugly.

  50. Rude Dude says – reply to this


    250

    Re: FIN

    I agree. There is absolutely no reason to compare Madonna to Mariah Carey, or Janet Jackson. They are all different artist. Mariah is the best singer-hands down! Janet is the best dancer-period. Madonna is very smart and has a very strong personality. I think a lot of Madonna's fans do the comparing and bashing because they feel insecure when it comes to other female artist.

    251

    SERIOUSLY ……I AM LOVING WHAT I AM HEARING OFF OF THE ALBUM. CLASSIC MADONNA…..

  52. Madonna makes Mariah lip sync to Hello Kitty! says – reply to this


    252

    FIRST OF ALL……Mariah is NOT the Voice….Whitney Houston is & Always will be, crack or no crack. If Mariah was, she wouldn't have to LIP SYNC!
    SECOND OF ALL, when the Lambs resort to bringing up Madonnas Kids & her Sex book to distract anybody from buying Madonnas AMAZING NEW ALBUM HARD CANDY, You know Madonnas album makes Mariahs look like a DEMO….Mariah keeps repeating the same Sh.it.
    So what Madonna had J.T. on a track…..Mariah used Rappers to appeal to the Hip Hop crowd. Atleast when Madonna attempted Hip Hop Properly in 1990 with Justify my Love (when mariah was still having Visions) she did it without a Rapper.
    And for those Lambs that claim Madonna is paying Perez to trash Mariah…….
    ROGER FRIEDMAN ring a bell? Thought so, so shut the Fu.ck up. Lambs who live in Glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

    255

    Re: Rude Dude
    This was the biggest crock of sh.it I've read all day…..ROTFLMAO!
    While I don't argue Mariah is the best singer out of the 3, Janet being the best Dancer?!?!?! If Madonna was doing the same routines for 20+ yrs she'd look like a pro too. Madonna is more versatile than Janet when it comes to dancing & incorporates it into her work….she doesn't always need to break it down the way Janet does just as long as it fits the theme to her message…that is what is important to Madonna.

  56. Madonna makes MAriah get her lip Waxed in Public says – reply to this


    256

    re: Rude Dude cont

    And as far as Madonna fans started the bashing to compensate for Madonna just being a strong "personality" GIVE ME A BREAK.
    Madonna fans have been taking a beating since the SEX book just like Madonna has. Everybody had something to say about Madonna after that book came out and it wasn't always kind!
    But the funny thing is those people who had stuff to say became
    crackheads……whipped their tittie out…… or had breakdowns on Nat'l TV!
    And yet Madonna is still here doing her thing….Selling albums like none of her 80's contemps can and hasn't compromised who she is…SHE JUST GREW UP!
    As of 1993 people were saying she wouldn't be around much longer and 15 years later those people are still waiting….you don't stay around that long with no talent or Dumb luck. WE MADONNA FANS KNOW HER SHORT COMINGS BUT IT'S THE SUM OF ALL MADONNA PARTS THAT MAKE THE WHOLE GREAT and neither one of those Ladies will ever have the impact Madonna has had…FACT! Madonna wasn't riding Janets coat-tails and Mariah went from Contemp Singer to Hip Hop slut…Madonna has always been Madonna. What you see is what you get……Like it or Not!

    Re: Madonna Makes Mariah get her lip waxed in public

    Laugh all you want. Janet is a way better dancer than Madonna and only a fool would think otherwise. Madonna has the classic white girl moves and when she's not doing that she's doing yoga LMAO. Dude, go back to sleep and get back at me after your thoughts are a little more clear.

    258

    Re: Madonna makes MAriah get her lip Waxed in Public

    Dude, this is exactaly what I'm talking about, LMAO! You are at your desk about to have a heart attack over someone else's opinion. Dude, calm down, LOL! I am a Madonna fan! I have been a fan of hers since I was 7 or 8 years old. I'm not too crazy about a lot of her fans because I think a lot of you guys are weirdos and you five being a Madonna's fan a bad name because you've turned it into a cult. I am also a fan of other female artist! There is no law that says that you only have to love one and bash the rest. and it is so hypocritical for you guys to judge Janet for the Superbowl incident, and to call Mariah a whore-PLEASE! And if you want to talk about "FACTS"-the truth is that none of these women give a shit what you guys think, they don't know who any of us are, and they sure as hell don't come to this site to read this shit, so arguing over "Who's the best" is such a waist of time. I agree with the other person…GO BACK TO SLEEP, LOL!

    Please, Britney's album went to shit after her many break downs over the past few months. I think I herd that she's now doing sit coms because she's planning to move back in her old trailer park.

    Wow… people that like this are seriously overdevoted and blind Madge fans… this is garbage. Sorry to say. Madonna sounds more terrible that usual on this album. She use to be so cool. Back in the 80's and early 90's… it's time to retire, Vadge… you have plenty of stored up money so there is no excuse to be torturing the world with this bile.

    Re: Go take a nap & Rude Dude.

    I am wide awake & stand by what I said. You can have your opinions & I can have mine. JANET HAS BEEN DOING THE SAME DANCE MOVES FOR YEARS NOW….IF, R.NATION……..AM I WRONG? Ok then, have your coffee & get back to me when your head is clear. I saw Janet live & should've just turned on MTV, It was no different than her videos & this is coming from a fan of Janet who has been let down since V.Rope….& that was Renee's last project with her..Hmmm!
    Rude Dude…..I love other female singers too…ones with substance
    Siouxsie, Ani difranco, P.J. Harvey ect ect. & Who was judging Janet? Janets Superbowl performance was meant to one up Madonna & Britney & it blew up in her face….FACT! If that was Madonna she would've owned it. Madonna fans don't set up websites to trash other artists or start campaigns to ruin their albums…….so you may want to know what you are talking about before you try & call other people out. I doubt you were ever a fan or else you would know these things…..Just my opinion!

    Actually this is the first Madonna CD that isn't full out techno. She kinda goes back to her roots. Yeah it has the dance thing, but it's more poppy and less experiemental.

    268

    Re: Madonna MAkes Mariah get her lip waxed in Public

    LOL, I don't have to "Justify My Love" my love for Madonna to anyone. These are just my opinions! The choreography to Janet's songs like All For You, If, and Rhythm Nation are legendary and don't need to be changed. Dance is what Janet is known for. You're not going to see Michael Jackson changing the choreography to Thriller. Madonna is not know for her dance moves. She's more so known for her style. As I've said before, Madonna is very intelligent and her music(lyrically)does have more substance. I agree with you!! Janet does need to step up her game and get off the sex themes because it has gotten way old and people are tired of it. I also agree that her career has taken a noticeable turn since her divorce from Rene. Madonna is the most creative out of the three(Madonna, Janet, and Mariah), but I think they are all talented in their own way and they all can suck in their own way as well.
