5.0 out of 5 stars The single that US radio djs overlooked !!!, August 17, 2003

By	Juan Carlos Rodriguez (Panama, Panama Panama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great danceable mixes with enough versions to satisfy any trend. Perhaps this is not the best single Madonna has released, but anyway, it is a pop melodic song with great lyrics and a catchy chorus. After the "American Life" single, this was obviously the correct single to follow after all the controversy caused by the first single and its "Wonderful" video. Living outside the USA gave me the chance to enjoy the original "American Life " video as well as the song over and over. I agree with many people. The USA were not ready to hear from its most famous pop icon that the American Dream is based solely on looks, power and money where nothing is what is seems. It's hard to admit it, but it's a truth well known around the whole world. Madonna dared to sung the wrong lyrics to the wrong country at the very wrong moment: Irak war (which by the way, has caused even more US casualties after the conflict "ended" ).
After my brief analysis, I don't wonder why US djs haven't played this song. While they have not declared openly a boicot to Madonna's records, that's what is obviously happening. All around the rest of the world, Madonna's "Hollywood" is Number 1 for the third consecutive week, with Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" at number 2, struggling hard to dethrone the queen of pop (not an easy task in a LOGICAL music world). "Hollywood" debuted at number 4 in the Billboard singles sales chart and has became Madonna's 30th Number 1 in the Club Play charts. How could you explain that this song has not earn enough points on Radio Airplay in the USA? As a result of this "Not declared" boicot, Hollywood is the first non charting Madonna's single on the Billboard's Hot 100. The only loosers are the US radio listeners which haven't been able to enjoy this nice song. I hope that US radio programers open their mind a little in order to embrace the next single "Nothing Fails" , an hybrid bewteen "Don't Tell Me" and "Like a Prayer". This is a deep catchy song that deserves a better luck. HIP HOP has dominated the Billborad Top 10 in the recent years. This is kind of funny because you don't even need to "SING" anymore in order to own the number one "SONG" in the USA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Madonna's 30th number one club track., July 26, 2003

By	K. Eisenberger "dance music freak!" (Defiance, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the second release fron the American Life cd and it finds the Material Girl doing some more self searching. This cd single comes with 5 remixes and a radio edit. This is Madonna and most .... will buy this no matter how good or bad the mixes are. The Radio edit(3:42) is good but needed the "Push The Button " part on it. The Jacques Lu Con't's Thin White Duck Mix(7:09) is good electronica with most of the vocals.The Micronauts remix(6:25) is good as well but is basically a dub mix. The Paul Oakenfold Full remix(7:01) is the second best mix here. It is electro with a lot of house thrown in and features the entire vocal of Madonna. The Deepsky's Home Sweet Home Vocal mix(7:34) is okay but doesn't feature any of the vocals except the "Push The Button" part. Disappointing!! The best mix is the Victor Calderone and Mac Quayle Glam Mix(9:22) and what most Club DJ's are playing. This track is more aggressive than some of his latest stuff and features the entire vocal of Madonna on it. Just another side of Madonna in her never ending trying and doing and being all career.

4.0 out of 5 stars great remixes!, July 12, 2003

These are some very modern remixes with a retro vibe. My favorite is definitely the Oakenfold mix, which is just an awesome dance floor stomper. The Jacques mix and micronauts mix are very interesting as well. I'd have to say i like this maxi more than "American Life" and "Die Another Day", which were also very good.
Madonna is the queen of maxi-singles!
