    5 out of 5 stars Good Call, Madonna!   March 15, 2000

    Is this even legal? Madonna covering American Pie. Yes I like the Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls and harp on people who say music of the past is better than today's music, but I do have respect for a legend. When I first heard on the radio that Don Mclean liked Madonna's version I thought that this is scientiffically impossible. This song is to Rock & Roll history what the Titanic disaster is to maritime history. Then, I listened to it and wow! It actually works. Perhaps, Madonna, aware of this song's legendary acclaim concluded that she--in all her splender--could never succesfully cover this song convincingly, and to try to reproduce it may spell the doom of her career. Was this legend the thing that would bring Mrs. Material Girl herself to her knees? Wisely, Madonna chooses to reinvent the song, to make it hers as if it were hers alone brought about for the first time in history by her and in a way only she could provide. Like it or hate it, you have got to give her credit for her bravity--bravity counter-balanced by alot of wisdom. Madonna knows a basic fundamental in music: "Don't ever try to recreate a legend. It will surely break you". Perhaps, this is Madonna's "rite of passage"--the challenge that could crush her is the very one that will take her to new heights in her career. And what do you know? She has Mclean's blessing!


    5 out of 5 stars good job madonna   March 18, 2000

    madonna has taken a classic rock song and reinvented it as her own. having removed the verses about buddy holly and early rock, she has recorded a song that is at once brilliant and poignant. madonna's vocals have never been better and i applaud her bravado for even attempting to "remake" this song. American Pie has become a classic in both incarnations.


    5 out of 5 stars A stunning interpretation   May 3, 2000

    From day one, I was in love with the way Madonna turned American Pie into a joyous piece of earcandy! Too bad the American public didn't latch onto it fully...It could have been a damn good summer anthem!

    The mixes here are very good and sound great. Anyone who doesn't at least tap their foot upon hearing them must surely be deaf or, at least, be a big heavy metal fan.


    5 out of 5 stars That's the spirit, Madonna!   May 18, 2000
    4 out of 5 found this review helpful

    Madonna... When I hear that name it means good and elegant music. And this song was like that. I know that this isn't Madonna's own song and I must say that I like the original more, but this is still worth for buying, singing, listening... This is great song! I'm waiting for the movie "The Next Best Thing" so much!


    5 out of 5 stars Madonna does it again   April 27, 2000

    When I first heard Madonna was covering this song I thought "what"! I never thought it would have worked. It seems I was very wrong. Not only does it work VERY well, but Madonna shines on this this track. I've heard others say that they think her vocals are weak on American Pie, but I think they are great. Madonna's vocals flow very well through the whole song, and her voice is absolutley beautiful. I think the Humpty Vission Radio Mix is my favorite.
