1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Blame Madonna, September 27, 2001

By	Chris (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Early Years: Give It to Me (Audio CD)

Anyone who knows Madonna's history is aware that she played guitar and drums in various bands and did occasional studio work to make ends meet before she signed to Warners. This is such a collabatation. This is in no way, shape, or form a "Madonna" record, she wrote none of this sub-par tracks or played any instruments. This main vocal is done by a man named Otto Von Werner and various versions of these tracks have appeared on several albums since the early 90's.
These tracks are an interesting listen, but not worth spending money on. If you are a Madonna completest and are interested in her pre "Madonna" album work pick up In The Beginning (released by Steven Bray) instead, That album features real Madonna songs and contains some of the few (credited) times Madonna has played guitar on a record.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous, July 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Early Years: Give It to Me (Audio CD)

This album is absolutely disgusting. She doesn't sing; the songs that are found on this album aren't really songs (they have no message).It's a shame that somebody was so bored that he had to make such a worthless,meaningless so-called album.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay Away From This Mess!!!!!!!!!! Trust ME!!!, July 21, 2003

By	K. J. Bryant "peachycream" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is hands down the worst cd I have EVER heard. Even if you are a Madonna fan, you will not want this cd. I thought I was buying some groovy music by Madonna before she became famous. Instead, I got this HORRIBLE cd by a man named Otto, who uses Madonna's background vocals as lead. He then mixed her vocals with tracks (I refuse to call this mess music) that is so bad that my dog actually cried for me to stop playing it. I am serious. And it gets worst because Madonna only sings about 2 lines in every track. This is not a Madonna release, so how is he able to release it as such? I can't answer that, but please trust me when I say...you don't want this mess!!!
