Malcolm Mayhew of Knight Ridder weighed in on how Madonna is teaming with Missy Elliott on the new Gap advertisements, arguing the singer “is clearly trying to boost her sales and perhaps prove to herself and her fans that she’s still relevant.” Mayhew says, “But the sheer fact that Madonna and Missy would participate in regurgitating a remixed, reworded version of Madonna’s hit ‘Into the Groove’, while dancing very badly, just proves that the Material Girl isn’t above doing obvious, non-inventive commercials to save her music career.”

ok, gang, I’ve listened to Madonna’s new CD. It’s Snobby European Trash. Boring ballads with too deep lyrics that you have to think about for an hour. Not good. The CD is boring. After 23, years, it might finally be over. Even Erotica had a hot little sound, even though it only sold 2 million copies or so. Here’s what we need to do….Madonna-this image change didn’t work…it’s boring and old. Go back into your bag of tricks and re-do this image. The commercial is okay..but it’s not all that…she needs the fire back. Because right now she’s doing the Lazy B*tch thing.
I think the commercial is really good its one of my favorites right now…..and whoever wrote the article is reading way to much into it! for goodness sakes it is a gap commercial! not a promo for feed the children!…im embarrassed to be from Ohio… and I got a question…does the gap commercial come on in the U.K.?
I love the commercial, I don’t support GAP at all but I still love Madonna’s acting/singing. I have Madonna’s new album “American Life” and I think it is a masterpiece. It’s different than anything out there because it’s a mix of acoustic guitar, electronic beats, and dance music. Madonna may not be as popular as she used to be, but her career is DEFINITELY not over. Madonna will be around forever not only because she has millions of die hard fans, but because she is the best business woman in the world and is always shocking people. When Madonna came out with “Erotica” 10 years ago everyone said she was over, then the same with her next album and so on…so just think a minute…10 years from now all you people dissing her will be laughed at!
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Aren’t lyrics supposed to be deep? Or are they supposed to be predictable and boring? I actually like the commercial,especially Missy’s part.
Here’s the facts, She’s lazy with this CD, she didn’t re-record any new vocals for the remix. She screwed up the video and released that American Life Video where she looked 80 years old, and Hollywood, is stupid. She needs to realize, her deep depressing CD is boring. Other than…Nothing Fails (with just a hint of passion and life–is like the old Madonna), she’s in bad voice thru-out…She needs to hang up her knickers and try again. A Bore. The commercial is cool though
