That was not a very convincing reply from Madonna, it is like she lives in her own universe. She is so lost. And she should have removed that video simply because it looked stupid and it was bad. Very bad. Period.
I find it is possible to play American Life again and again without getting tired of it, it has such staying power. COADF is so much fun and catchy but I play it alot less.
It is true that Hard Candy got much hate but the hate came mostly from fans, it seems the general public liked it and casual fans also. It was the hardcore fans that were ruthless. It is a fine and fun album.
