4.0 out of 5 stars 'Give It 2 Me' - Great Maxi Single, August 5, 2008

By	Antoine D. Reid "80sforever" (Durham, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Where as '4 Minutes' was just okay for me, 'Give It 2 Me' is, in my view, the true start of "Hard Candy" is definitely with this single. Produced by Pharrell of the Neptunes, the dance/club sound that Madonna works best in is on display here in this song. Best yet, the remixes on this release only improve upon the vibe and feel of this great song that features Madonna proclaiming that she can't be stopped, she's far from over and that her fans and critics alike need to give her all that they've got for her because she's ready for a challenge. Where I felt '4 Minutes' was more so of a Justin Timberlake/Timbaland song than it was Madonna, 'Give It 2 Me' is the Material Girl at her best; strong, tucking a message away in hypnotic lyrics and producing good pop and dance music that has a new, fresh sound rather than something underwhelming like '4 Minutes'.

As for the remixes, the best is definitely the Oakenfold Extended Mix which has a nice slick, club sound to it. Other remixes that stood out for me were the Tong and Spoon mix which actually uses the 'Get Stupid' bridge in a fun and exciting way by letting it open the song instead. The Fedde Le Grand and Jody den Broeder Club mix are both fun, dance mixes. As for variety, the Sly & Robbie Bongo Mix is by far the most different of the sort, adding a dance hall/reggae tinge to this rather pop song.

I liked the variety of this maxi single. The previous one bled into one another, with few tracks being able to stand out on their own. That's not the case with 'Give it 2 Me'. More consideration seemed to be given to the tracks selected, better art and design was given to the cover, and this is definitely one for your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give It 2 Me - 8 Mixes, August 5, 2008

By	A. Marachese (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Give It 2 Me (Audio CD)

The Amazon track listing is wrong. I received my copy from them today. There are eight versions on the US maxi single. Here is the correct track listing.

01. Feddie Le Grand Remix - 6:40
02. Oakenfold Extended Remix - 6:59
03. Oakenfold Drums in Mix - 5:44
04. Eddie Amador Club - 11:05
05. Eddie Amador House Lovers Mix - 7:52
06. Tong & Spoon Wonderland Mix - 7:35
07. Jody den Broeder Club - 9:33
08. Sly and Robbie Bongo Mix - 4:54

Wow, all the mixes are excellent. I love the Feddie Le Grand Remix, Oakenfold Extended Remix, the Tong & Soon Wonderland Mix and the Eddie Amador House Lovers Mix are the best. The super long version of Eddie Amador Club is also great too. Get the US maxi single, instead of the import singles!!!!!!!
