Negative Positive
Title: Silly and Boring.
Review: On paper, the concept is pure genius: Madonna, pop tart of the 1980s, teaming up with Britney Spears, pop tart of the new millennium. The collaboration could have been as titillating as the lesploitation kiss they shared at the 2003 VMAs. Instead, we get a generic dance single that's silly, boring, and goes limp faster than Britney's marriage. "Me Against the Music" stiffed on the charts upon release, and you can credit that to the forced come-ons and lack of chemistry between the two singers. In fact, the duet sounds so impersonal, Madonna could have very well recorded her vocals on an Mp3 file before FedExing them to Spears. "Hey Britney," goes Madonna, "you say you wanna lose control?" Well, if both singers lost a little "control" and got a tighter groove, "Me Against the Music" would be the killer dance tune it could have--and SHOULD have--been.
Is the review positive or negative?
