"Buyer beware. This is a PICTURE CD. It misleads by saying it's an audio CD. It is clearly marked on the CD: "This album does not contain music"!!!!!"

"I love this song! I heard it at a dance recital and I thought it was the coolest thing! I've heard the older version and I didn't realize it was the same song until I saw the title because Madonna's version is remixed very well!"

Try not to be offended!

"This is a review of the cover of American Pie, by Madonna. This is not a review of the album Miss AMerican Pie, which I am led to believe contains no music at all.

I am 27 years old, which makes me too young to remember the original version of this song getting any radio play. I am familiar with it, however. Folk music is not my arena, it's not my cup of tea, I don't mess with it, and I don't care for it. I find Madonna's version much more enjoyable. If you are a fan of dance music, you should enjoy Madonna's reinterpretation. It's not a club stomper, but the remixes by Vission certainly are. Apparently, an artist of Madonna's calibre should not be allowed to cover other artists material according to some critics. I suppose it has something to do with the nature of her music. Dance music hardly ever is recognized by othe genre's as credible music. Especially electronic music. I read a review in a magazine of what Elvis Costello considered to be the 100 greatest albums of all time. There were close to no albums from the eighties, and the few dance records that were acknowledged were so stereotypical of him, such as Abba's collection entitled Gold. Well, who's going to argue that?

My point, if I even have one, is that I'm tired of stuffy pretentious artists like Elvis Costello who think that a synthesizer, or simple lyrics to a dance beat equal crap. I actually am quite fond of Elvis' music, by the way. I just think his attitude sucks. May Madonna continue to breathe new life into songs that may have disappeared from the radio's playlists, even if the cost is upsetting those that consider it to be an act of SIN.

Love!"
