Today In Madonna History 
American Life-That was when her artistic world fell apart. For once, Madonna was at a loss. Even the best ones make failures on occasion. Is the record at least decent and good? Yes. It does contain some Ciccone gems-X-Static Process, Mother/Father, Die Another Day and Easy Ride. However, highlights are few and far between. The acoustic guitar on American Life doesn’t suit her, the writing uninspired and Maddy screams more than cries. It’s just not what I want Madge to be. I WOULD RATHER HEAR MADONNA DANCE, SING AND CRY! American Life was a dangerous game not worth playing! Body of evidence? Dead on arrival! Madonna at her most self-centered and narcisisistic! She would happily bounce back with Confessions, Candy and MDNA BUT ULTIMATELY American Life was when Rabbit/Warner let go of Madonna. As far as Radio was concerned, Madonna got boycotted. I hope one day American Life gets the respect it deserves. She has never been the same since. But hey, I still love Madonna!
