Barbara Walters Talks Shit About Former View Co-Hosts

Is Hard Candy More Britney Than Madonna?
Is Madonna still relevant? This seems to be the question that everyone is asking with the release of her 11th studio album (and final release from Warner), Hard Candy. While listening to the album, you might think Madonna is cool, if only because she refers to her coolness about 30,000 times. Madonna used to be constantly on the cusp of hipness, but frankly, she can't keep up with an age where everything is viral and the elapsed time of trends is less than a week. The evidence of this can be seen in Madonna's choice of producers: The Neptunes, Timaland, and Justin Timberlake are masters of current pop trends, but they are no longer innovative. However, Madonna doesn't need to be innovative to make a good pop song and her ability to produce instant club hits is probably the only thing that keeps her reviewers from writing her off. Sure, she's just copying her copycats, but that doesn't mean the result isn't enjoyable. The collected lukewarm reviews, after the jump. More »
