Madonna - Give Me All Your Luvin'

Madonna is one of the biggest pop superstars out there and she debuted this song at the Super Bowl which is one of the biggest events in American Culture, so you'd think that the song would be something amazing. It's good, but I don't know if I'd call it amazing.

The song has a sort of pounding, chanting rhythm throughout the whole thing, the sort of cheerleader song you'd expect at the Superbowl. It's a fun sound, but not really all that exciting. It's catchy and it'll probably get you dancing, but it's not about to make a lasting impact on anybody. With the return of Madonna (at the Superbowl no less) you'd expect something epic to remind us all why Madonna is so huge, not something "Give Me All Your Luvin'" that's fun, but nothing more.

The song also features Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. which doesn't add much to the song and is pretty pointless. Both of them have quick verses near the end that aren't anything special and only add an interruption between Madonna's verses. One might have been okay, preferably M.I.A. as she seems to fit better with the song, or giving them more time to shine might have also made the song more interesting. Instead it's as if they said, "Let's put a few seconds of some popular rappers on the track to get more attention." Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. can both be awesome at their best, but sadly we'll be hearing none of that in this song.

Chances are this song will grab attention and still manage some success. It could go to number one, but I suspect that it will easily fall and be forgotten after its peak. Aside from the initial interest of hearing a new Madonna song a couple of times I can't think of any reason why this song will gain much popularity.
