"Dance 2night" is a cute bop. I still listen to the Wayne G remix
https%3A//soundcloud.com/olivier-dlx/madonna-dance-2night-wayne-g-club-mix
I loved "She's Not Me." It felt like a milder "Thief Of Hearts." It felt a little prophetic given that most of the lyrics described Lady Gaga to a T at that time. It was extra biting when Madonna incorporated some of the "she's not me!" parts into her "Express Yourself/Born This Way" performance during the MDNA Tour.
I liked this remix Offer Nissim did of SNM which borrows a riff from ABBA's "Voulez-Vous."

Poor Candy Shop :(
I can't forget the first time i saw M live with S&S Tour, that was a special moment and that's why Candy Shop will always hold a special place in my heart. I also love MDNA Tour version of it.

Dance 2Night makes me want to do the complete opposite. Put me to bed coach!
She's Not Me is low key my favorite track on the album but I dropped it a few because of the random bridge, but everything else is *Chef's Kiss* I love the shoutout to the legend Wendy Melvoin who guests on the guitar and that outro is one of the best moments on the album. That transition from funk to full blown Disco House is immaculate.
Candy Shop is cute but listening to the leaked version for so long lessened the experience for me since nothing major was really changed to the track except for a few added production flourishes.
Heartbeat... y'all booties can't get down! Instantly was one of my favorites from the first listen and one of The Neptunes best productions, ever. Should've been a single.

I missed this one, though it's not one of my favorite M albums, so not too upset. One of my favorites didn't even make the top 5.- and it ain't "Candy Shop" or "Spanish Lesson." ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif)

Not surprised "Candy Shop" is out but I have no regrets.
I don't understand the love for "Heartbeat" though.
WOW @ the top 5 - it does go to show how weak this album is that I don't have much of a reaction to the reveals.

I didn't so many of you fucked with "Heartbeat" like that. It's one of the few songs on the album that I always forget about. ![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif) Also imma need Yeezy to make his exit soon.

12. Spanish Lesson (10): One of the messiest and melodically weakest songs she's ever recorded. From the first time I heard the album, this has been one of my least favorites. I do like the percussion instrumental being used, although other production choices like the "What?" bridge is cringe IMO.
11. Incredible (12): Another messy and melodically weak song. My biggest issue is that the instrumental is less interesting than SL and the melody goes from generic/boring to angry, chaotic, unappealing. Overall this is one of her worst album tracks to me.
10. Voices (11): This is not jarring, but unlike SL this is just too meh. She sounds good, but that's not enough for me to rank it outside my bottom 3. [By the way, the graph say it has the same stats as Incredible]
9. Dance 2Night (6): Huh? I really like the slow disco vibe of this one, with the hand claps, bass, the bright tinkly sound in the chorus, with the Timbaland synth effects, and then Justin's and her vocals fit well. Plus, it doesn't have any messy part that distracts or lessens it. The verses could've been a bit stronger though.
8. She's Not Me (8): This is one of the clearest examples of a song that lots of ingredients to be ACE but was harmed by having too many ideas cramped into it. The melody and disco-influenced instrumental in the first couple of minutes is one of my favorites of the album. But the part after the second chorus adds unnecessary mess, with a sorta rock vibe that doesn't fit the vibe of the song. I would've liked it if it had been a shorter bit, but it drags too long. The bridge goes back to silky, dancey, melodic stuff, including the She's not me and she never will be and even Pharrell's ad-libs. Then the post-break disco part is nice but goes on and on and on including false stops that makes me lose my patience. This shouldn't have been a 6-minute song. A much more compact 4-minute version without too much mess would've made me rank it in my top 5.
7. Candy Shop (9): I like the percussion-ladden production, but I'm not a big fan of the melody, especially in the chorus, or her vocals tbh. And the whole "my sugar is raw" is one of the most cringeworthy lyrics she's recorded IMO.
6. Heartbeat (4): This has always been one of my favorites of the album. Like D2n, it's another song that's not messed up by long random sections that worsen it. The 00s synth intro is pretty good, the sorta nostalgic, warm verses with her lower register sound buttery, and then the upper register in the pre-chorus also work well to break the monotony, especially with the added background vocals. The chorus is good enough to continue with the nostalgic party vibe. And then the bridge is actually a good example of a random but playful, interesting, and not-too-long break, not like what happened with SNM or GI2M.

I meant to have this wrapped up by now so we will get through the top-5 today! #5 finished just 1 point ahead of Heartbeat with the 3rd-highest SD; a trio of bottom-3s and a pair of #1 s will be lost. ![](https://i.ibb.co/c6Vk9jL/5.png)

Still am curious to hear what the Confessions version would have been like, this was one of the better tracks on the album Also is definitely improved when she performs it live, then again this whole album was better live than in studio form

I'm a sucker for a Timbaland x Danja ballad in the essence of What Goes Around... and Wait For You and this gave me all I wanted from her.

Will all three singles make the top-3? #4 came up 14 points shy of a top-3 finish with the 6th-highest SD and at least one person who think it's the best song on the album. ![](https://i.ibb.co/60m72xQ/4.png)

By December of that year, it was revealed that a reworked version of the song featuring K*nye W*st would be included on the album after Madonna realized he was recording across the hall from her. Marvin Gaye was cited by Madonna as a direct reference for the sound of the track but, thankfully, Nona Gaye and her band of lawyers weren't given pause by the liberal use of claps and cowbells.

Period. This whole song is f**king heat. IT GOES! My jaw dropped when I heard the reworked version after the demo was so readily available. The production transforming as Omari spits his verse is a moment and the whole song in general is a groove.
