as generic as can be... I'm sure her album will include collaborations by Pitbull, Lil Wayne, Drake , David Guetta & other generic acts... she has lost her credibility since 'Confessions' by trying to sell records at any price instead of being creative....

Stephen John Brownlow Yeah they will be different mixes i think. Also to experment by having more left-of-centre hits like Rain, Deeper & Deeper, get together may be a risk for such wide mainstream audiences for the Super Bowl so i think those hits may be the ones that she should go for, add some new touches and Madonna performing the heck out of them!!! woo. And yes next year...i mean what a way to kick it off, and loads of promo concerts, Olympics, events, interviews...daymn!
