To paraphrase what others have said here: A good track is a good track is a good track. My own preferences and tastes veer toward blues, rock and (original) R&B, but that doesn't preclude appreciating a Good Track.

Divorcing the perception of Madonna 'the celebrity' from the music of this track enables one to appreciate it's worth.

Just sayin'....

I think you might be contradicting yourself there, Unc. If you only heard her music, which is often pretty good and sometimes innovative, you'd not love her as you'd know nothing of her. It's not possible to know anything of her outside her manufactured personality cult, so it's impossible to forget it. She is the perfect Spectacular artist, with no real public personality but a series of personas designed to appeal to a range of audiences. She is, as the pseudy critics say, a cipher.

She is immensely talented (though how much she owes to songwriters and producers and media agents is debatable), but you can't ignore her personality cult and separate it from her music. The best you can do is a 'blind tasting', listen to a song without knowing it's herself and evaluate it on its merits as a song, which is what I did and yes, it's a good track by a good singer.

also in agreement. this is a very good song and worthy of being in the rotation.

This is a great track and if it was by an undiscovered indie songstress we'd all be falling over each other to uprate it.

Can't help but LOVE this girl. 

Forget the cult of personality/notoriety/BS that she created around herself.  She has talent out the wazoo, and found arrangers and producers that knew how to highlight her talents.  She found video producers that knew how to highlight her physical talents for MTV, too, but isn't that how one plays the game?

Don't hate her because her voice is beautiful.

If I remember correctly, this was Madonna's foray into techno/electronica.  I always thought "The Power of Goodbye" was decent.

Not a huge Madonna fan, but this CD is really good. I think it's William Orbit's influence.

Ray of Light is a great album. William Orbit produced it, so it is a little atypical and not as commercial as you'd expect.

Wow, who would have guessed we would see her here on RP. Although I think Live To Tell is a song better suites for RP.

I hate pop, but I don't hate this. Ray of Light was kinda a cool song too.

The question on everyone's mind is: will Bill be brave enough to follow this up with Justin Bieber, New Kids on the Block, or Lady GaGa?

If I've got to listen to a Madonna song, this is probably the most benign possibility.  5

Madonna lost me back around the time of Material Girl, but this later song is a bold venture into Middle Eastern territory, worth RP's air time.

Agreed. This one surprised me today.

Madonna on RP. Hey one I just thought of was the soundtrack title of the Sean Penn - Christopher Walken fim "At Close Range" that she did.

Wow, I was going to upload a tune form this album but figured it'd get shredded in the LRC just because of who it was.
I'm surprized this one made it - wouldn't be my first choice from this album.
But that's just me I guess.
