Отрадно что у обоих артистов синглы выходят почти одновремено, да и песни отменные, у Мадонны это предвественник одноименного альбома, у Кристи же это лучшая (на мой взгляд) пенся с последнего Stripped.


Мадонна показала нам другую себя, не такую как обычно, теперь она жестче, в пенси присутствуют элементы рэпа - да и сама песня далеко не о любви, даром что америкосы клип запретили и теперь мы увидим урезанную версию...

Текст:

Do I have to change my name ? Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight ? Am I gonna be a star?

I tried to be a boy, I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess, I tried to be the best
I guess I did it wrong, That's why I wrote this song
This type of modern life - Is it for me?
This type of modern life - Is it for free?

I went into a bar looking for sympathy
A little company - I tried to find a friend
Its more easily said it's always been the same
This type of modern life - Is not for me?
This type of modern life - Is not for free?

American life
I live the american dream
You are the best thing I've seen,
You are not just a dream

I tried to stay ahead, I tried to stay on top
I tried to play the part, but somehow I forgot
Just what I did it for and why I wanted more
This type of modern life - Is it for me?
This type of modern life - Is it for free?

Do I have to change my name ? will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight ? Am I gonna be a star?

American life
I live the american dream
You are the best thing I've seen,
You are not just a dream

I tried to be a boy, I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess, I tried to be the best
I tried to find a friend, I tried to stay ahead
I tried to stay on top...

Fuck it...
Yeah, Fuck it

I'm drinking a Soy latte
I get a double shote
It goes right through my body
And you know I'm satisfied

I drive my mini cooper
And I'm feeling super-dooper
Yo they tell I'm a trooper
And you know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied
I'm digging on the isotopes
This metaphysic's shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope
You know I'm satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager
An agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant
And a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler
And a bodyguard or five
A gardener and a stylist
Do you think I'm satisfied

I'd like to express my extreme point of view
I'm not christian and I'm not a jew
I'm just living out the american dream
And I just realised that nothing
Is what it seems
Do I have to change my name
Am I gonna be a star
Do I have to change my name
Am I gonna be a star?
Do I have to change my name

Fuck it...

Мадонну слушаю давно и могу сказать точно что это ее самый длинный текст, конкурируют разве что Vogue или Music, но как бы то ни было это что-то совершенно новое и от этого намного более притягательное.

Думаю песня просто обязана взлететь на певрое место и в Billboard top 100 и в uk top 20 - подождем клипа...

А Fighter - тут Агилера уже Боец (до этого Грязная и Красивая) - похоже что она больше никогда не вернется к имиджу беззащитной маленькой (рост 155 см против 155см у той же Мадонны - все что ли они там такие?) девочки...

Текст:

Fighter

When I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Oh, ohh

Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh

After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Мадонна точно войдет уже в историю с этой песей, иначе не была бы она такой скандальной, а что будет с Агилерой - время покажет...
