She collaborated as she did for Hard Candy because she likes the music that these other artists produce and wanted to work with them and see what they could come up with. She WANTED to do this project- she never HAD TO. Let's be serious- she never HAS TO do anything again, considering her fame and fortune. She could disappear tomorrow, and generations of her offspring could live a century or more financially free. Do you really think she listened to Hard Candy once it was all done and said "I think 'Miles Away' is going to be a huge single in America"? She knows what kind of music sells in America and she's not interested. She will do as she pleases and she knows it will sell, on some level. She made so much money off of 'Confessions.....' overall, nothing else will matter financially, not even the unfortunate split. Madonna can't lose. And no, i do not consider the "disappointing" sales of 'American Life' a failure. She made the album that she wanted to make. And knowing that it was not filled with music that the masses wanted to hear, she went out and did the ReInvention Tour which was like Greatest Hits Live! Fans of "Early Madonna" loved that tour. Madonna is just too smart for words (although i seem to find plenty!)...... just saw her in concert last night as a matter of fact: AWESOME! Thanks........ Madonna needs NO ONE to help her- NO ONE.

After Timberlake's had a string of hits, and now Bjork makes a spectacular splash with "Earth Intruder's," Madonna's gone on a band-wagon a little late instead of driving it like she usually does.

After having several years, I kind of liked the American Life rap. Rhyming pilates with hotties. brilliant. What did it for me was the *video* ... still relevant 4 years later. The video adds something to the rap ... a certain sense of satire that didn't come through in the song. She's practically making out with her weaponized PT cruiser, and it's well .... sublimely ridiculous. I take exception! After having several years, I kind of liked the American Life rap.
