SOUNDBITES — "I’ve never been a good judge of what things are going to be huge or not. The songs that I think are the most retarded songs I’ve written, like ‘Cherish’ and ‘Sorry,’ a pretty big hit off my last album, end up being the biggest hits. ‘Into the Groove’ is another song I feel retarded singing, but everybody seems to like it.” —Madonna, reflecting on her chart toppers

desperatly seeking susan. get into the groove. we saw, we liked, we listen.
love get into the groove retarded or not.
Did she write "4 Minutes"? Because that song plain sucked.
"American Life" too.
"Sorry" was a big hit? Where?
it's not really about the lyrics, 'donna
sorry was a big hit everywhere, curtis. it was probably the most played madonna song on the radio in the past 20 years anywhere i went. it was big in europe too… well, that could be the abba connection or something but still. it was big all over the place.
oh crap. i'm thinking of hung up. but sorry was pretty big too. not biggest in 20 years big but big.. also everywhere.
You rarely hear this from people who ACTUALLY write their own music. Only pop divas complain about the song the label forced them to sing because they were going to push it to the moon and make it a big hit even if it does look bad on paper.
"Sorry" was a great song. This new "Celebration" is the dullest, lamest, most uninspired re-write of "Holiday" possible.
what a nice way of saying "thanks to the fans who love what i do!"
And here I was under the impression that ALL of her music was retarded.
Oddly enough, I'd have to agree with her, though I don't think any of her non-hits are any better…And I've never even heard Sorry (so sorry, it can't have been much of a "hit").
PS It smacks of insecurity if you actually have to tell people that something you wrote on your last album was a hit.
i loved sorry. hated cherish and into the groove. i love gambler, but she might not have co-wrote that.
idk, it's all so subjective. i love celebration but only the music video version with the hard beats. and revolver. well, i like the demo version with that other singer and lil wayne. Her version is just meh.
i'm not crazy about music.
Hmmm I like what she does for africa and enjoy listening to her music- but damn she doesn't sound so intelligent when she speaks.
"retarded" ??
pretty insensitive + she sounds like an awkward teenager..
Retarded people use the word "Retarded" flippantly! Madonna is White Trash!
Do you all feel really good now that you've spewed?
I'm surrounded by 14 year olds!
Sorry wouldn't be on her latest hits compilation if it weren't a hit.
@Faygala That must explain how one-hit wonders still manage to release a "Best of"…
erase the 'r' word
I thought the word retarded wasn't PC anymore. Didn't people take a shit all over Obama for saying it?
