So Madonna has released another track off of her upcoming new album, MDNA. It’s called “Girl Gone Wild,” and we’re not sure how we feel about it. The lyrics are pretty tired—and she’s lookin’ a little like Amanda Lepore on the cover art (below), but it’s got a good hook and a beat that will likely get the kids onto the dance floor.
Critical response to “Give Me Your Lovin'” has been tepid as well—is MDNA gonna be a dud? Or are you living for “Girl Gone Wild” in these times?
Sing out in the comments.

This bitch is embarrassing to watch.
What’s more embarrassing is watching gay men continue to fawn over the old gray mare.

Girls Gone Wild is far superior to GMAYL. It reminds me of something from Confessions On A Dancefloor. I’m really looking forward to MDNA.
Kurtsa
Beats nice, lyrics blow :/ They are boring and they sound like they were sloppily thrown in just to give it lyrics. Probably would have been better without them.
Crixus
I think its important to note that we will probably never get another “Like a Prayer” or “Live to Tell” from M. Who knows.. we might, but for now, I’m gonna celebrate it for what it is. A decent pop/dance track to get out on the floor and shake to. People analyze too much.
Not a Madge fan
One of the world’s big mysteries for me is this woman’s popularity. Never understood it one bit. What’s appealing about her? Her music is on the boring side and she seems to be kind of a ginormous bitch. Serious question: What’s the appeal?
John
What a load of garbage. She SERIOUSLY allowed this to be released? I’m not the biggest madonna fan but I dont hate her…..but this is shameful
ChrisC
Reductive.
Franco
Anytime Madonna releases a new song or album queens everywhere scream how irrelevant she is. There are other things to be upset about, perhaps if you don’t like her already, it’s best to keep quiet and listen to someone else.

@JayKay:
Brilliant observation. She is old. Wow. Genius.
Ryan
I’m embarrassed Querrty even posted this, is Madonna a gay guy?
….oh and by the way the Pet Shop Boys just released an amazing 2 CD B-side collection called “Format”. Every song on it kicks Madonna’s ass from here to eternity. Post that Queerty.
Tim
Wow, this is complete shit. I would expect this from a Bulgarian piece of bleach-blond Euro-trash on youtube, but that would at least have camp value. Is she even trying?
MoJo
I’m not love’N it, but it’s certainly no worse than anything else played in the main-stream. Does anyone else get the impression that this newest stuff is an attempt to compete more with gaga?
divkid
a bit like a david guetta popsicle with all the flavour sucked out.
not a great fan of monsieur guetta either… except “titanium” which is rather splendid — probably because it was written by a gay, natch.
William
@divkid: Guetta’s synths are way more layered and lush although I see the “With all the flavor sucked out” remark.
This sounds exactly like something Bennassi would do.
I like the song, it will devastate in all the gay clubs/European clubs like nobodies business.
Never been a Madonna fan but I am excited for MDNA.
Jake
Love it. She has tons of pop masterpieces, not everything is going to be Like a Prayer or Ray of Light. If Britney, GaGa or Rihanna did this the same group of people bitching about thr song would love it. It’s catchy, it makes me want to dance. Pop music isn’t always deep, simplistic and fun are great too.
Marie Cohn
She hasn’t been a “girl” since the Ford Administration.
jason
I’m sorry but Madonna is just recycling old cliches. She’s even posed wearing a bra.
Marcus
What the hell happened to her after the “Confessions” album? How do you write insipid lyrics like “girls just wanna have some fun, get fired up like a smoking gun” nearly 30 years into your career?
Malcolm
Tired, stupid, jurassic. And so is the song!
CHEEKIEY
She does not look like Amanda. That was just wrong and not funny as I assume you were trying to be.
Henry Holland
I didn’t think it was possible, but now there are worse lyrics than “Friday”.
Rebecca
@Henry Holland: What. Everybody *is* looking forward to the weekend.
James
@Henry Holland: Oh so you’re trolling everything Madonna oes I see. What was writing the same crap on Towleroad wasn’t enough?
Also of course a bunch of men are being misogynist and ageist because at the end of the day you hate woman.
You’re all a bunch of bitter people with nothing better to do then to clck on any Madonna post and just say hatefull things and try to cover it with “it’s just my opinion”. Pathetic is what you are. If you don’t like her, here’s a thought DON’T CLICK ON THE POST.
Mr. Robertson
@James: Actually, I’ll click on whatever the hell I want to. And as for misogyny and ageism? Yeah. That’s the only possible reason for disliking Madonna.
Whenever I think JLo’s a mediocre singer, it’s because I hate Latinos, right? Shit, I just realized I don’t like Lil Wayne. I must be racist. AND I must hate men. Which is a bummer, since I already hate women. I guess I’ll only be able to listen to Chipmunks’ albums, and other animal-based recordings.
James
@Mr. Robertson: Yeah you’ll click on something you don’t like because you’re a fucking TROLL. Only trolls hunt out posts of people and things they don’t like just to comment on how much they hate it. I’m not a big Madonna fan but I can’t stand little annoying dickheads like you filling up the comment section with your bullshit.
Jonathonz
@Crixus: I’m with you Crixus. I would dance to it and enjoy it if I heard it at a club.
Mark Snyder
the ray of light album was her masterpiece lyrically and with a lush sound. i also liked american life even though it was panned. this song sounds just like “celebration” off her greatest hits album..
Pazul
YES haters. Give in and let loose. It’s what’s fueled her for 30 years. You’re the voice that says “You can’t do shit.” She is the voice that asks your voice… “The fuck you say, bitch?”
53. Most watched television event ever. Broke iTunes record for pre-orders. Album went to number one in 50 countries before it was even released. Gimme All Your Love gave her more top ten singles and world chart top tens than ANYONE EVER.
If I had to choose between your wisdom and Madge’s???
We know how this ends.
Erik
I have been a huge Madonna fan since I was a kid, but this album seems uninspired. These songs aren’t hits. “Give Me All Your Luvin” has been a dud at radio and this track won’t far any better. They’ll probably get some club play once Interscope sends in the remixers, but if these are the best tracks that album has to offer? Ruh oh. Not a good sign. It’s disappointing that Madonna is offering up such timid, forgettable dance tracks at a time when dance music is resurgent and dominating the top 40. This should be her time.
Erik
@Pazul: And in it’s third week, “Give Me All Your Luvin” dropped from #10 to #39 on the Hot 100. That is not a hit. Which is why Interscope is sending up this trial balloon, releasing another song. She had the biggest US television audience of her career and the best “Give Me All Your Luvin” could get to was #10. I love Madonna, but it’s just not a memorable song.
Erik
@Pazul: I do like your enthusiasm though.
“Most watched television event ever.”
I’m pretty sure most people were tuned in for the football game, LOL. The Super Bowl got 110.5 million viewers last year. This year it got 111 million viewers. Madonna likely didn’t have a big impact on the numbers.
Lazycrockett
@Ryan: What? A Queer site getting behind and supporting gay music? are you daff. Gays can only love the female voice. Its in the rules.
Lazycrockett
The notion that she writes still amazes me, she hasn’t put pen to paper since she stole the lines from Star Light Star Bright. She changes a word and claims a third its in the contract she makes all the producers sign.
acc999
Check the super bowl numbers again. More people watched halftime than watched the game.
and if GMAYL was such trash how did it hit the top 10? Radio didn’t play it. People BOUGHT it. Which is a bigger indicator of success. And she’ll probably break her own record of he biggest selling concert tour of all time this year. Eat that bitches.

Some Bible Scriptures on Homosexual & Sexually Immoral Acts. Don’t HATE me; God said it!!
1. Leviticus 18:22
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable. Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.
2. Leviticus 20:13
‘If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
3. Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
4. Mark 10:6
But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.
5. Romans 1:26
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
6. Romans 13:12
13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
7. 1 Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
8. 1 Corinthians 10:8
8We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. 9We should not test the Lord, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.
9. 2Corinthians 12:21
21I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.
10. Galatians 5:19
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
11. Ephesians 5:3 3But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.
12. Colossians 3: 5-10
5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
13. 1Thessalonians 4:3-8
3It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4that each of you should learn to control his own body[a] in a way that is holy and honorable, 5not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; 6and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. 7For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
14. Jude 1:7
7In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
Tim
Does the Bible hate Madonna too? I’m confused.
jason
Madonna is AutoTune in a bra.
n900mixalot
Who listens to Madonna for lyrics? The lyrics are just a way to get her voice out there. That’s the genius of her whole existence. Her lyrics have ALWAYS sucked. The entire package though, is what is good about her, and it isn’t meant to be some heavy, intense experience.
You want good lyrics, go elsewhere. You want top-notch production and a pretty show, go for Madonna. That’s what she does. Kind of like drugs… escapism.That’s why les gays love her I guess.Nothing heavy, just light fizzy pop.

Madonna’s halftime show had 114 million viewers….it was the most watched point of the entire event.
Erik
@acc999: I know that. 114 million watched the Super Bowl halftime show. However, Madonna’s performance was NOT what was primarily driving those number — the football game was. Had NBC been showing a Madonna concert on Sunday night and NOT the Super Bowl, the number of viewers wouldn’t have even been 14 million, much less 114 million. We can be certain of this, as when NBC aired Madonna’s “Confessions Tour” in primetime the night before Thanksgiving in 2006, it drew only 4.6 million viewers and finished last in its time slot among the major 4 broadcast networks.
Look, I love Madonna. She has had an amazing career. However, it seems her ability to produce NEW hits is greatly diminished. For the past decade, she has been a mother of 2, 3, and now 4 children. Motherhood takes up a lot of time. She obviously can’t go out to the clubs every weekend like she did when she was younger. She is more detached from pop culture and it shows in her music.
What she needs to do is let today’s hitmakers craft her music from scratch. She needs to just go in, lay down the vocals, and let them work. She shouldn’t micromanage anymore. There must be too many cooks in the kitchen. How else is she working with people like Martin Solveig and Benny Benassi and NOT producing songs that will be hits at top 40 radio? It just doesn’t add up.
Bryan
While I think she looks amazing for 53, surely it has to get to a point where no matter how amazing you look for an older woman, you start to think “hey I’m older now, maybe It should reflect in my work and my looks?”
Devon
I don’t understand why people are so defensive of her? Are we not allowed to dislike her?
Also, this whole “Oh if Gaga wrote this people would love it” is absolute shit. This is a terrible song! I love Madonna and the fact I hate this song should show that. She’s BETTER than this, it’s one of the worst pop songs I’ve heard lately. Even Nicki Minaj’s “Starship” is more catchy than this, and that’s saying something. Madonna is 50, she shouldn’t be singing about being a bad girl on the dance floor! I mean really, that’s something a teen would write. She’s already went through a bad girl stage, no need to try it again after menopause.
She “wants to have fun” isn’t an excuse either. Some of us liked Madonna because her music meant something at one time and pushed boundaries, who wants to listen to a mediocre song that isn’t even catchy? Anyways. Hopefully she has some gems she’s just hiding on the album.

Enough of this “shes old. old grey mare bullshit”. You stupid queens think being 19 0r 22 is so fucking fabulous? Really? I’m here to tell you that YOU have little to offfer a real grown man. You lack compassion and you are rather boring. If you don”t like HER….then don’t listen or better yet, why don’t YOU go out and make your own music. Plkease shoiw us how it SHOULD be done…..you stupid fucks. PS. This is to MBBranch…..take your bible and shove it up you self rightous asshole. that’s right…..fuck you and the rest of your hate mongoring kin.
