On Madonna Trapped Inside Hall of Mirror Madonnas
whats bizarre about reading the reviews is that two perfectly smart critics often have polar opposite reactions to the same song. Maura thinks BDay song is one of its redeeming moments; Perpetua hated it. Christgau really hates the ballads, everyone else seems to like 'em, if only because, at least from reading the reviews, it seems as though they think this is how a 53 year old should be behaving. I think the gap in opinions comes from the fact that everyone wants her to perform a certain way - she should stop being so safe, but then she's castigated for going way broad in Gang Bang. She should act her age! But the ballads sound too corny. Just like it seems difficult for Madonna to figure out exactly what role to play now - legend, mother figure, upstart - it seems the critics who came of age in her heyday have put impossible-to-meet demands on her music. On a sidenote: a 4.5 for MDNA while Hard Candy got a 5.3? Give me a fuckin break.

meanwhile, in lieu of winning, one newspaper put up a photogallery of their own winners, who are all dead or have since left the paper. in a way, huffpo winning is hysterically circuitous.
