Madonna: 'Revolver'
Released on Monday, Dec 14 2009

Sadly, while 'Celebration' itself is a triumph, boasting a sprinkling of Oakenfold ravedust while still sounding unmistakeably Madonna, the same can't be said for the Lil Wayne-assisted 'Revolver'. It may be catchy, but this throwaway track sounds so much like an offcut from Britney's Blackout LP that you really have to question why it wasn't offered to her in the first place. Lyrics like "I'm a sex pistol / My love should be illegal" sound pretty saucy on the RaVaughn demo version doing the rounds, but their rather cold robopop delivery here only confirms that Madonna would be better off going her own way instead of chasing the pack.

LMFAO, what a tragic t**t you are, GURLBOI, going on about people ripping the p*ss out of me if I tell them I love Madonna.The fact is I DONT GIVE TWO S**TS WHAT ANYBODY THINKS about my love for Madonna, let alone a p*ss-taking "everything about me is sooooo cool" sad limp wristed lolly licker. In reality, I love Madonna for who she is, for the amazing records she's made, I love all of her records and whether "Revolver" got to #83 doesn't phase me in the slightest. Am I supposed to love music that only reaches the top of the charts? HA HA HA ....How utterly tragic....typical idiocy that could only come from a shallow big mouthed old sl*g like yourself. If I want to idolise Madonna for as longas I live, It's up to me, it's got nothing whatsoever to do with you or anybody else. I don't sit here and inform you who you should like and don't like. I'm not a sheep follower and don't listen to music what's flavour of the month just because a few sheep want me to. Grow up and move your chavvy ass along...better still, learn to talk properly instead of using text talk, you'll find it works wonders if you want to be taken seriously and furthermore, people might actually think you're intelligence will be higher than that of airhead with enough air to fill a hot air balloon. As for the "Stones" comment, well that's just idiocy in itself. Go do some research, love because those brain cells of yours (or lack of) are obviously not eqipped to handle to much info at once. I can smell the smoke from here. To be honest, you can laugh all you like, but i'll be bellyaching when she proves you wrong. Either way, Madonna's made her money, there's nothing else for her to prove...she's got millions and when she passes on she'll leave behind her fantastic legacy. - What'll you leave behind? - A stain on the back of a cublicle door in some cheap pub and couple of sequinned garments.... Go away, love...you disgust me!

ROTFLMAO @ the irony! Its *U* being the fanatic thats the pathetic 'cunning stunt' who needs to get her life instead of living to idolize, desperately clinging(or else your world will fall apart) to the delusional minority view Madollar$$$$$ is still any good whether its her music, videos or tour "performances". Where are all her DIEHARD fans then - not very die hard if they can't get a digital release above a EMBARRASSING #83 :D. Just shows how stupid U R still going on about her tour success after i made the 'Rolling Stones' point. Yes I will laugh if she gets another #1 album in 2010 on an easy weak with PATHETIC sales and then BOMB down the chart after that like "FUNERAL" - obvious case of fan base only interest ie they'll buy any $**t she puts out ( and thats a lot lately :D) - JUST like with her RENOWN + UNANIMOUSLY HATED failure "American $***e". I will p*ss myself further with delight when the rubbish old HAG's second single has no video (like most of her singles these days) or airplay and FAILS like revulva - that is how the majority know U talk UTTER delusional cr*p + why U would get the p*ss RIPPED out of U if U talked about Vadge in the way U do here to the general chart buying public instead of your friends that secretly pity you insane out of sync fanaticism :sad:

How utterly tragic, another lemming comes to join our resident Madonna hater. It's amazing how people say "She's Over" yet people continue to flock to see her tours. Let's see if you'll still be laughing when she gets another number 1 with her 2010 album.

Oh DEAR! Poor Vadge LOONS still DELUDE themselves she is an "artist" (PMP more like RIPPED OFF from someone with talent or manufactured PAP) + has any POP chart relevancy left ( Dead Chart Dinosaurs the Rolling Stones sell EVEN more concert tickets than Madge ffs :D ) when 'Revolver' "peaked" (ROTFLMFAO) at ***#83*** on iTunes - she has never EVER been SO UNPOPULAR *FLUSH* - the SHOW is OVER say GOODBYE!
I've come to the conclusion that Kylie'sSparklyTiara enjoys pulling Madonna's fans chains. Let him make a complete fool of himself. By continually coming here and trying to convince people that Kylie is a better artist than Madonna is just sheer idiocy in itself. Madonna rules, always has. Kylie's just the poor mans cheap miniscule version of Madonna. Simple as that.
is there anyone Lil Wayne hasn't collaborated with this year?! bit of a throwaway track but i don't mind it.

Kylie's "pathetic" wannabe Sparkly Tiarra. You can predict the future now??? I can see the present. Madonna has the SECOND-HIGHEST concert sales of 2009. Kylie's album flopped. Her tour flopped. DEAL WITH IT you WANNABE!!

I see this is FLOPPING big time, just like her GH album did - hasn't sold anywhere near as much as Ultimate Kylie - the definitive GH album for a POP GODDESS - watch out for Kylie's stunning comeback in 2010 when she'll be the first artist to have number 1s in 4 decades

This is one of her two best RnbPop song ever, after 4 Minutes is this the best! I loved it since the summer, when demos hit the net. Great sound, great hook. Too bad its no music video out, and no promotion. This need some PR to be a hit.
kylie's sparkly tiara.. silly beatch and i presume a bad example of the gay community - Gaga is one of Madonna's biggest fans, she adores her and she HAS taste.. develop some before its too late. Kylie's going back to her crap poppy roots AGAIN cos that's all she's ever been 1/2 good at.. and by saying 1/2 good at I am being kind here. The only song she has ever fully been credible with was Can't get you out of my head.. and where's she been after that? ooh the X album BOMBED here and the US.. the US tour BOMBED.. haha!
Kylie's Sparkly Tiarra. The vile that comes from your mouth is nothing but an utter joke. Madonna and MJ have had more International success than Kylie EVER WILL. Kylie's X Album and Tour flopped worldwide. Madonna's last album "Hard Candy" was the 11th best selling album of 2008 according to the IFPI. Kylie DOES NOT chart. Also - the "Sticky and Sweet Tour" grossed over $407,713,266 US DOLLARS!! Go research the states. And stop spreading lies. Madonna and MJ are household names!! Kylie is the flop. Revolver is a great song. HA HA HA HA HA.

Oh what a surprise, Kylie'ssparklyTira is here again spreading more negative remarks about Madonna. You know, this song isn't fantastic but it shoves anything Kylie has produced from her last 2 albums in the dirt. Madonna rules...get used to it!!!

Take your own advice Kylie's Sparkly Tiara. Never come across anyone with such tunnel vision and narrowminded-ness. Can't you sprinkle some happy dust over yourself even for Christmas? PS Don't mind the song but it doesn't really deserve a spot on a best of collection.

I thought she'd retired after her string of recent mega flops. Give it up old girl and leave it to the real talent like Kylie and the up and coming GaGa

Its an amazing track and it doesnt sound like radar at that all and its a 100x better then that song anyways unfortunatly it will flop whihc is sad but true with no video to support it theres only one thing left X-factor PLEASE MADONNA x
Its amazing how ageist people are!!!. They need to remember if it was not for the likes of Madonna the pop industry would not be were we are today. Yes Lady Gaga is cool but were does that inspiration comes from, the likes of Madonna who has inspired many of the up and coming popstars of today. Just because she is older why should she stop. She has just completed the most successful Tour of all time and her mass of record sales leaves many new wannabe popstars a few hundred million behind. Actually Dumbboi's name suits DUMB!!!
madonna has always had an ear for a good tune, although this song isn't entirely written by her this is still a good release from her greatest hits, while i have to say this may be my least favorite song from her i do love it!! which shows that madonna still has the magic she has had all the way through her career, i await to see her next reinvention, but after a worldwide success with Hard Candy and the Sticky & Sweet Tour this reinvention is basically just to have fun and ...ahem, CELEBRATE!!!! 5/5 perfection :)
Ha Ha Ha @ Kylie'sSparklyTiara. "watch out for Kylie's stunning comeback in 2010 when she'll be the first artist to have number 1s in 4 decades" Oh dear, talk about a plank of wood. You do realise a decade consists of 10 years don't you? Kylie's been making "Records" since 87 so therefore that's 22 years. I think that silly comment alone speaks volumes. Perhaps you should go rethink your strategy with that other he/she THING!!!
