I think Kylie's X is a lot better than Blackout (except "Toy Soldier" and "Freakshow" and "Piece of Me", but then Blackout has a lot of duds on it). So is Roisin Murphy's Overpowered, and of course the Robyn album is better, and then Sophie Ellis-Bextor... point being, Blackout, while good, is not so much the pinnacle of contemporary dance-pop.

To stay on topic, though, it seems to me based on those clips that Hard Candy is not exactly going to reach even the far-from-dizzying heights of the low points on Blackout.

Yes…that “Give It To Me” one is good…But the best news about a new Madge album is that I can finally afford to see her in concert if she tours…

Anything that Idolator hates, Rolling Stone'll slap four stars on it: [www.rollingstone.com]

Why: Madonna's an "icon;" therefore everything she does is classic. Take it as you will.

What impresses me about those clips is that Madonna has actuallyy managed to show zero musical progression in 25 years. Seriously, some of those could sit alongside Holiday and Borderline.

@fudgester: That's because "4 Minutes" sounds exactly like a mash-up between "Holiday" and Timberland's "Give It To Me."

Meh.. the Timbaland production sound is getting stale at this point.

I suspect public reaction will be very similar to Janet's last record.

A perfectly decent pop record from a camp that hasn't really produced relevant music since 2001, but does anybody even care anymore??

@nonce: Where were you when Confessions on a Dance Floor came out and the British tabloids started calling her "Oldfrapp"?
