‘Me Against The Music’ Review

Contributed anonymously:

I have been a Madonna fan since Day 1. I have been a Britney fan since Day 1. I love them both, and I was really thrilled to learn that they will do a song together. That song, ‘Me Against The Music’ has already leaked, and I’m REALLY sad to say that I won’t be the only one who will air disappointment and tirades AGAINST this song … and collaboration … in the coming days. You could say that again — Britney and Madonna “against” music, because the song is simply a cacophany of irrational noises. It has no melody, its lyrics have no sense and it’s really annoying. Madonna and Spears, for all their accomplishments in the world of pop, may both end up being remembered ONLY for that scandalous kiss … and this horrific song. Something tells me that ‘Me Against The Music’ is going to be the ‘Gigli’ (…and of course, that Mother of All Artistic and Commercial Disasters, ‘Glitter’) of Pop Music. One post here in PopDirt sums up the song perfectly, if I may quote: “It’s one of those songs that is desperately trying to be different & be something fresh & new, but just comes out sounding like a extremely bad attempt made by someone who doesn’t know what they are doing on their karoake machine & keyboard.” (sic) Why can’t they make REAL songs nowadays? Has Madonna really gone down? After the ‘Ray of Light’ CD, she has been giving us nothing but ugly songs. Maybe she should return to Patrick Leonard and Stephen Bray if she wants more hits…and songs with melody. As for Britney, maybe she should go back to Max Martin. We miss the songs and hits, “sexy ladies.” As for their collaboration, it’s really questionable. Madonna needs Britney’s youth and popularity, Britney needs Madonna’s established presence and credibility. Both may lose the little that they’ve got right now, thanks to ‘Me Against The Music’.
