Madonna - "Hard, Old, Almost 50, Candy"

Wow. Talk about shit. Through all the albums that Madonna has thrown at us, I've always been fairly loyal in defending her as an almost 50 year old pop star. However, I just heard her latest album "Hard Candy" and it deserves no defense.

She's a 48 year old millionnaire using her mou-lah to hire "hip" (shit) producers like Timbaland and hoping that her incorporation with Justin Timberlake will make her sexy and the album platinum. She's competing with the 18-year old Rihannas of the world and it's pretty sad. I mean, you look amazing for your age, but your acting like all of the insecure hollywood stars out there. I'm sure you can do MUCH better.

Stuart Price (aka Thin White Duke & Jacques lu Cont) was Madonna's Music Director for her "Confessions on a Dancefloor" album. He did a mean job of giving Madonna what she wanted while still giving the music industry what it needed. The tracks, though a little too dancy for some folk, were well produced and clearly done by someone with talent. Once he heard that Madonna wanted a "hip-pop" sound to her next album, he thought "are you fucking psycho? No way!" Hence Timbaland and the storm of shit coming into the equation.

You would think that, Madonna, of all people would embrace the resurfacing of 80s-pop. Did she really think that Stuart Price was just flattering her by having his own 80s-electro-pop group? How did she think that this r&b pop noise that people call music is actually the right direction to take her album? It's mental.

Madonna has her blinders on and all she wants to prove to people is that she's still sexy and platinum. A 48 year old scantily-clad mother dancing in H&M's cheap S&M's collection and singing songs called "Give It 2 Me" and "Candy Shop" isn't sexy.

I thought she could make another album to be proud of but clearly not.
