I loved this back in '03. It should have been the first single instead of "American Life." This would've of done much better. Was this even sent to radio?

LOL. I think it was, but it missed the whole chart by one position.
I liked it quite a bit. Not as much as other stuff, but enough for it to make my personal chart (although it was incredibly weak at the time, also). I understand why people didn't like "American Life" but gosh it wasn't really THAT bad. Especially considering 95% of what was on the charts that year.
I prefer "Die Another Day" and "Love Profusion" to those two.

I liked this one. I especially liked this one remix of it that Party 92.7 (RIP) played. They stopped having DJs so I couldn't ask them about who did it. The video was so hot and sexy.

The video was so hot and sexy. She gave that ball the time of its life! Yeah, I also liked this song. I actually first heard this in Colombia during my vacation. I was like, "IS THAT MADONNA?!" Good song.

I thought it was such a stupid song. The only time I enjoyed it was when it was performed on the 2003 VMAs.

Aside from Die Another Day, its the best song on American Life. Way more deserving of lead single status than the DIRE American Life - the worst song on the album in my opinion.

I liked it. Wasn't it in a Gap commercial?

I liked it. Wasn't it in a Gap commercial? Yes and no. It was there in the form of "Into The Hollywood Groove." The vocals from "Hollywood" were re-sung and changed a little, and placed over the instrumental of "Into The Groove" for the commercial. And there was Missy Elliot on it too. The full version is on the Remixed & Revisited EP.

Horrible song. "Nothing Fails" was the only good song on the CD

You know there were times when I liked this song, then times where I hated it. It was a very hot-cold track for me.

I liked it. The VMA Performance of it was good. Peaked at #10 on my chart.

Nothing groovy about this song, its so flat and joyless.
Probably her weakest dance song.

When I first heard the AL album, I always thought this was one of the stronger tracks on the album. Having said that, I don't think it would've made a good first single.
I'd much rather have "Nothing Fails" or "Love Profusion" be the first single instead.

I think the only song that would have changed the fate of this album would have been to release "Nothing Fails" as the first single

This was the second best song on "American Life," following "Love Profusion."
Rick Dees played "Hollywood" at least twice on his show.

THis is a horrible song. I cant believe Madonna fans thought this would be a hit.

This is a freaking jam. Don't understand all the hate. I think Madonna has released many singles far worse than this. I used to kick this on repeat...

This song was grand. But when a gem like this didn't hit the Top 40, I knew that Madonna's chart career was in jeopardy :(

I can't believe this flopped the way it did. Not a bad song.

The remixes were heaps better than the album version, especially the promo edits.
The video is not one of my favourites, I thought the MTV awards performance was great.
