  • Madonna > Marilyn Monroe

  • @MuffinManTF I was thinking that after watching the super bowl. lol idk tough im sure if Marilyn lived to be older she would put up a good fight and then agaiiiiinnnnnnnn are they even in the same category? im high.

  • i dont sense that the regular pop fan appreciates the songs that make us dance. like this one. i include myself when say that artists re-invent to stay within creativity. it iz though that she iz the master of change. while maintaining integrity. 2003 was dynamic to me anyway.

  • This song should have gone MUCH higher on the regular pop charts....it did great on the dance charts...but for some reason this song did not do well

  • madonna is the best!!!

  • I swear I'm listening to this song for the fiftieth time!

  • push the button

    don't push the button

    trip the station

    change the chanel (i love this part)

  • Always been one of my favorite Madonna songs; I'm not sure why so few recognize how great it is. Maybe it's too minimalist for what people expect from her.

  • listening to this in 2012

  • She is a very strong person. Smart 2. No drug adictions, rehabs or stupid shit. 25 fuckin years on top!! Look at poor Britney, Lindsay, and other. They crumble at the top. Weak ass mutherfuckers. O! mike 2, we all know how he end up.

  • Still listening to this on December 21st 201222 OMFGG THE SKY IS FALLINGGGG!!!!

  • immaculate dance lines throughtout this song. i love to slam it in the clubs.

  • Incredible album, a jew! can't undestand why it flopped.. stupid americans..

  • saben que es el colmo? que madonna no tiene una estrella en el paseo de la fama :(

  • @mone03031 Eso es porque ella no quiere pagar 5000 dolares al año para pagarle a los que mantienen las estrellas jajajajaja xD

  • Magical HOLLY-WOOD..

  • The only this album was a flop in america is because she talks about how stupid and greedy americans are. And how they are abusing their freedom. And how despeate people are to be famous. Im so stupid is the truest song ever and most controversial song. And how people dont know the first thing about fame just what they see and read. Im not stupid. Im a tru madonna fan. Check out my song by me. Brittany Crandol - Dance

  • I love this song, I got this album in 2003, I can't believe it is 8 years ago =O

  • I knew Madonna with this song.. i was only 9 and I can't still understand why American Life was a flop!

  • 2:06

    <3 This Part!

  • the club used to bang the hell out of this song. now im lucky to hear it out on the dance floor.

  • The album under-performed because of Madonna's underwhelming lyrics. Mirwais' production CANNOT be faulted. It's BRILLIANT. The kick-off single was poor lyricwise. "So, I went into a bar", etc. and the awful rap. I can't stand "confessional" lyrics and Madonna's been a big instigator since "Human Nature", "Nothing Really Matters" and others. In "Hollywood" also, the personal lyrics are kind of complainy and the worst is "music stations always play the..." Who cares! She made it hard to love. :(

  • @YOUvsBULLIES Bullsh*t. Her lyrics on this album are not that bad, some are actually beautiful. She never pretended to be Bob Dylan. If you think you can do better than her, i can't wait to see it...

  • @jodelleferlandfan1 I really liked the lyrics to this album :)

  • WONDERFUL

  • @MyFightingSpirit 4 millions worldwide actually. And yes the album was a failure somehow because of the bad reputation Madonna got, this album almost ruined her career. The US radios don't play her anymore. It's a shame, this album deserved SO much more success!

  • @jodelleferlandfan1 She'll get played again on U.S. stations for her next album...

  • @nik8099 Really? Thanks for the info, I thought her boycott was permanent...

  • @jodelleferlandfan1 I doubt her boycott is permanent. Radio stations probably aren't gonna care about it anymore...

  • 10 peoples don't go to hollywood...

  • Its a commercial failure because of manager's dreams.

  • Why this album was a commercial Failure ?

    Iloveit

  • @Joachim1814 i don't understand, what happend? :/ this is the album i probably most listen to .

  • @MyMyMy91 To be fair, i don't agree with calling this album a 'commercial failure.' It debuted at number 1 in 12 major charting countries and has gone platinum in 10. That sounds pretty good to me- it was just ahead of its time. :)

  • @pancakeing American Life was released April 2003, within 4 months the album had already sold 4 million copies worldwide. To date the album has sold over 8 million units globally. It was successful but just failed to match the success of Music which sold 16 million copies.

  • @shazu1990 I think the success of Music was one of the reasons for such a change of musical direction with AL. I think Madge knew it would be very hard to continue with the dance/ trance vibe and still improve. So a dramatic change of style was needed.

    AL was one of the last Madonna albums i got round to listening to in full, it's one of my favourite now though. Songs like Love Profusion and Nothing Fails are some of my favourite from Madge, and obviously this song is great. :)

  • @pancakeing Its my facourite album too. Remember Madonna takes new appraches with every record. Its a mix of dance, r&b, rock and country like Music but with a futuristic electro, synthpop touch. The music paved the way for other electronica albums produced by Britney, Christina, Gwen Stefani, Kylie, Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry and Kesha. It addresses a lot of contraversial and political themes based around America, such as 9/11 and Iraq war. It was her most meaningful work making it my favorite!

  • @pancakeing totally....Madonna took the fall for Green Day when they released that American Idiot Album

  • @pancakeing Also American sold 8 million copies to date. In that era, she had the most expensive music video ever of the her mega-hit 'Die Another Day'. 'American Life' was a top 5 hit single worldwide. She was the artist with the most top-selling hits of 2003. She had the most iconic moment in entertainment history in her VMA 2003 kiss. Re-invention tour was the biggest tour of 2004 and 8th highest-grossing tour of all-time by a female. So yeh, American Life wasn't really failure.

  • @shazu1990 Yeah, I agree, I mean look at her album Bedtime Stories and tell me this one wasn't successful, Bedtime Stories was so underrated and people didn't have high expectations after that erotic era, it didn't even have a tour. American Life was a great album and I <3 this song.

  • @SportaMega Well when Madonna released Erotica, she wanted to release SEX book to promote it. However her label didn't allow her to do such a thing. So she joined another label, Maverick, which let her take full artistic control. After releasing 'Erotica' video & SEX under Maverick, she faced strong negative backlash from the public which badly affected Erotica's sales. Maverick from then on were unable to market as well as her previous label, thats why Bedtime Stories wasn't as big.

  • @SportaMega Bedtime Stories did very well commercially especially for a label that was new and not as big then. It sold over 10 million copies worldwide going platinum in 6 major countries. 'Secret' was a top 5 hit worldwide. 'Take A Bow' was #1 for 7 weeks on Billboard Hot 100, won a VMA and became the #1 highest-selling single of the year. 'Bedtime Story' was the 2nd most expensive video ever. From then on Maverick became more & more successful. So Bedtime Stories did really well.

  • @shazu1990 8 millions?? It's WAY too much, it was 4 millions. Most top-selling hits of 2003? Where this is from? I would LOVE for it to be true but i don't think it is.

  • @jodelleferlandfan1 It sold 4 million in 2003.

    It has obviously increased since then.

  • @shazu1990 umm Michael Jackson's Scream is the most expensive music video ever. Madonna never had the most expensive music video ever. If you were wrong about that, who know's what other invalid information you stated in your paragraph.

  • @hockey632 Well actually, while you're sitting there talking shit, BEFORE Scream was ever made, in 1988 Madonna held the record for most exspensive video for Express Yourself, which is now the third most exspensive, then Bedtime Story was the most exspensive which is now at number four, now Michael's is still at number one and Madonna's Die Another Day is at number two.

  • @shazu1990 American Life barely sold 4 million copies, please.

  • Imagine Madonna performing an House/Rock Version of this song on her next tour! *_*

  • @xxtiggy your so right, the media said that this was one of her worst albums, I think it was one of her best. This album was genius & so is this song!

  • i love this songggg.. it's stuck in my head

  • This was a demo a while ago, again.... The ICON pulls off another unbelieveable tune for all ............... The queen of all , a THEME SONG FOR MY HOMETOWN

  • "Music's stations always play the same song; I'm bored with concept of Right and Wrong" .......Just MindBlowing 

  • The composition of the song is so simple and yet i'm addicted to it! love you Madonna!

  • I just thought of this song randomly in my head.....and i'm 18, i still find it awesome regardless :3

  • Illuminati puppet

    =/ i liked her music

  • @tokersrule conspiracy theorist

    =/ i don`t like your comment

  • @Kosmolan Excuse me? Conspiracy theorist?

    You dont like my comment because its not your perfect little fake bubble of a world you live in, do some RESEARCH on hollywood. This song is subliminally telling you things about hollywood yet you dont understand. There is no such thing as a "conspiracy theory" There is such thing as a conspiracy, there is such thing as a theory, but they dont go together. Ignoramus

    conspiracy theory? Suck it, educate yourself

  • @Kosmolan I suppose anything out of the norm is a conspiracy to you huh? If the media printed that out in magazines you'd believe it

  • Furthermore, how can you make a judgement on my comment when you have no idea what im talking about? How is it that youa re able to form your own opinion when you don't know what im talking about?

  • Lady Gaga is a hybrid. they made a soup with Madonna's fashion style, Christina Aguilera's Hair, Kylie Minogue's stage presence and an egg popped out. a day latter, it hatched and gaga came out. please stop putting Madonna and gaga in the same sentence . It's disrespectful to this song and the rest of the album.

  • @MrXSTANx you're opinion is invalid if you're fan of the presseed flop girl (Xtina)

  • @TheNekoParty honey im a fan because i love her voice and personality. im not here for record sales because i dont gain any money from her. so get your head checked out and wake up from that fantasy where you think gaga is sharing her money with you you dumb ass crackhead.

  • @MrXSTANx I've never mentioned Gaga lol this shows how pressed are Floptina fans.

  • @TheNekoParty but you came in for her defense like the sheep you are

  • @MrXSTANx The funny thing is that i don't have her on my dp and you... well who's the sheep? lol

  • @TheNekoParty Your lies are as transparent as gaga's penis

  • @MrXSTANx lol you're stupidity is big like the no-talent of Xtina

  • @TheNekoParty No talent. roft had to be a lady gaga fan. you know nothing about talent. but you know about cloning other people's ideas though...

  • @MrXSTANx Someone is pressed as hell <3 i love you hunnei!11"1!! shiNeee OONn1!"!"! Mai dreeaam warriurr!!"121!

  • @TheNekoParty flopga is a glorified karaoke singer, she's already slipping, edge of glory shot straight to the top of the charts and fell straight out, you and I is also already flopping, flopga is a second rate madonna/kylie/bowie/xtina/brit­ney/grace jones LMAO at grace jones even saying she wouldnt work with flopga because she isnt original, deal with it and take a seat babe >>>>> _/

  • @XTINASDISCIPLE roft at this 5 year old not knowing who the godess Grace Jones is. he better go wipe his butt now!

  • I totally grew up on this song, it was my life, now I know why I my taste is so strange nowadays :P I don't think Gaga copies madonna, I think she's like everyone else who just became influenced by her. So I'm Team Madonna & Gaga <3

  • Press the like button, don't press the like button, trip the station, change the channel....

  • We won with this sooong :))

  • @jrhm94 thank yu fuck yu glee

  • still listening to this in 2011 :) 

  • @schokoladenkuchen16 don't mind about the song's year! :)

  • Please, can you stop talking about Gaga ? this is a madonna video.

  • Whether music is good or not is totally opinionated. This crap about Madonna and Gaga is annoying. If you dont like GAGA DONT TALK ABOUT HER! This is a Madonna video, Gaga is irrelevant here. I LOVE THIS SONG THOUGH!

  • such a good track. 

  • @IISTARI73 How did lady gaga get into this. It's Madonna's song; so let's talk about Madonna. Madonna has her own style and lady gaga has her own style. Gaga used Madonna as INSPIRATION but does not copy. She idolizes Madonna just like you and me. I think Gaga is a amazing artist (who has a soul); I think Madonna is a amazing artist.

  • this song is definitely a classic.

    very fresh pop/guitar sound, even in 2011

    love madonna :)

  • C'mon people. Lady Gaga is a manufactured fake. She has done nothing but do what has already been done. GET A GRIP!

    Flush Lady Gaga down the toilet and listen to some GOOD MUSIC!

    If I mey Lady Gaga I would say "take that fucking lobster off ya head, stop acting like a complete TWAT, and being manufactured ain't anything to be proud of!

    At least Madonna has soul.

    All these camp homosexuals who worship Lady Gaga are giving Homosexuals are bad name. FUCK 'EM!

  • @jrhm94 heheh i like that

  • I don't think people are saying Gaga this, Madonna that and actually thinking about it.

    -Gaga can be who she is today thanks to Madonna and many other women who MADE the music industry change it's views on women.

    .

    Both are strong women, but Madonna was doing this long before Gaga, and honestly Cher was doing the same as well, before Madonna was.

    Yay for strong, independent women. :) The world needs more women paving the way for the generations of women after them.

    :)

  • @Sesshychicklet7 Gaga is not strong AT ALL. Everybody is kissing her ass ALL THE TIME so i don't think it's fair to say that she's "strong". She can't accept critisicm AT ALL (sorry for my grammar).

  • @jodelleferlandfan1 Meh. I still say yay for women who put themselves out there. ;)

  • @jodelleferlandfan1 i disagree, she accepts criticism very well. for the most part she ignores it. she barely pays attention to the stealing claims. as for being fake, people thought madonna was fake too. if you watch gaga interviews she is extremely smart and knows exactly what she is doing, which is being herself like Madonna did and Michael Jackson.

  • @MichaelBrownMJ Just take a look at her 2011 NME interview and you will see that she CAN'T handle criticism. And i don't think she's smart, she's manipulative, not the same thing. Most of the time the stealing claims are true, sometimes it's so obvious. And she TOTALLY changed herself for fame, all the crazy costumes are not for "being herself" but attracting attention on her ALL the time. She's not "herself", just attention whoring and pretentious, she thinks she's above everything.

  • This song is my fav by Madonna:D and this album is of her bests too! ;)

  • Madonna and Lady Gaga are good friends!Theres not fight between them! I know Madonna is older, and Lady Gaga is only 25, but their still friends! : )

  • American Life & Confessions on a Dance Floor are my favorite!

  • Amazing Song :P

    

  • the Jaques Lu Cont mix is amazing !!!

  • Damn i love this song :D

  • i like the smell of it..... IN TOILETWOOOD!! nuff´said

  • nice song

  • lalalaloveeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Meh.

  • I love this song.

  • it's so fuuuuuuuuuuuucking amazing!!

  • youtube.com/watch?v=GZ9Fa6QWF-­0

  • I hate it when some kid post something like, im 12 and I blah blah blah blah blah blah blah bbhah blah blah blahblhaablaaaaa blah blah blah bah bha bhla. lol

  • I'm 11 and I love madonna, not very fond of the music of today it the old ones really the beginning of fame and are much better .. this song is cool most others prefer the old days

  • @raphaelfakestronda im 16 almost 17 and dont listen to alot of the songs that come out. some people dont know good music anymore

  • @1thetweekmaster Goodness! Thank you! I'm fifteen and some of my friends don't listen to music that's more than ten minutes old! It's ridiculous. Classic rock and good pop like this are where it's at. Good music.

  • @52396JDog I know. Most of my friends listen to Lady Gaga with me but they all hate Madonna! I don't know how they could be like that!

  • @LADYGAGAISQUEENOFPOP I don't quite understand that mentality, since GaGa is essentially continuing what Madonna has been doing for decades but with a heavier Grace Jones influence.

  • @LADYGAGAISQUEENOFPOP Your friends need better taste in music. Madonna is such an influence on music today. I feel sorry for people who don't know any real music.

  • STOP COMPARING ARTIST!!!!!!!! APPRECIATE THEM FOR THERE UNIQUE GIFTS!

  • @Jacquelyn104 first the proper word is "their" not "there"... and then, what's with that stupid rant of yours?! Of course people compare artists that doesn't mean they don't appreciate them for their uniqueness but rather the opposite they compare them because they're different and that's a way for people to express their likings in music. Furthermore, artists themselves compare with other ones and that's a way for them to improve their own style. PS: you also forgot the "s" to artist.

  • i really loved her performance with Christina and Britney!! :D

  • Honestly, this was her best album.

  • No creo que sea underrated, tiene su propio video , la ha cantado en sus conciertos, tuvo buen exito comercial y en los charts. otros singles como rescue me o one more chance si son underrated.

  • Its so sad that this album failed commercially. I cannot understand why, its one of her absolute best!

  • I will NEVER understand why this album was a commercial failure. The songs are so incredibly amazing and catchy, and the lyrics are SO true.

  • @jodelleferlandfan1 You have to remember that when this album came out, anti-Americanism was rampant on a global scale due to our invading Iraq on false charges that they had WMD. As we all know now, that just turned out to be one of the massive lies perpetuated by Bush's war propaganda machine for oil. Makes sense that an album so clearly critical of the American gov't wouldn't fare well commercially. Artistically, true Madonna fans know that "American Life" is one of her finest albums.

  • @alexsgirl74 You're right, i forgot about it. It's true that it's one of her best albums (my favorite actually) with Ray of Light, Like a Prayer and Confessions on a Dance Floor.

  • @alexsgirl74 And true Madona fans are great fools. They killed off Micheal Jackson because he wanted to expose the truth about the music industry, the rewriting of the history books, and so on. The deceptions that Satan and his demon spirit beings use are highly complex, and are designed to keep you questioning everything to the extreme, so you become angry and give up on seeking the truth, you end up having to build from the bottom up, anything less and you easily end up in the hidden traps.
