Yes, and as Jordan stated, they're not exactly well-known or credible sources.
The point he is trying to make (correct me if I'm wrong, Jordan) is that the reviews have been mostly negative. Clearly Sahn had to do some digging to find some good (albeit a 3.5 isn't all that great) reviews.

And this is BEFORE the superbowl.
Shouldn't the supposed queen of pop be able to top both Album and Singles categories on iTunes, though?
Btw - I'm sick of the "she's the queen of pop - she can do whatever she wants."
That's not an excuse to put out a lazy song and music video. Stop putting her on this ****ing pedestal.
So what do you want Madonna to do, what gaga is doing now and be compared to her? Make a big fiasco about her music video? Release another ray of light, so she can make YOU happy? Please.
Madonna is having fun, she wants to release fun poppy music. Give her a break.

No one is mentioning Gaga, other than interviewers talking to Madonna.
I want her to make good music (see: her back catalog, Ray of Light, Confessions). She's tarnishing her image as pop royalty by putting out two bad albums in a row.

My god you haven't even heard the album!
How is she tarnishing her image? Because she's doing what she wants? This isn't the 90's anymore!
First of all, while Madonna is nowhere near as popular in her album/single sales as she used to be you cant deny that she remains a cultural icon that will never be looked at as a has been, at least within the next few decades. A "hasbeen" is not the appropriate term to give to some one who can still give massive tours and spark interest 30 years in to their career.
If she was a has been than every popstar wouldnt be asked their opinion on Madonna/her legacy.
GMAYL is a borderline terrible song, but to judge the whole era on one song alone is a mistake.I am confident that her album has much stronger caliber songs on the album than this first single, which is a shame considering that all this heavy promotion(Super Bowl, AI, and using Nicki) is not being filled to its full potential.

Well, this song is awful (the public agrees).
The previews sounded awful (not sure what the public consensus is, yet).
There's such a thing as bowing out gracefully. "Masterpiece" is a good example of that.
If she wants to make some "fun poppy" music like this, then she can keep it to herself, because clearly the world doesn't want to listen to her new stuff if it's like this.

People said the same thing about 4 Minutes. "Oh! I bet the album will still be awesome, though!"
Madonna's lead singles have generally been pretty indicative of the quality of the album.

The song is not awful. It's an opinion not a fact that it's awful.
I'm not arguing with you or any other gaga Stan anymore, don't like the previews? Think she should keep the album? K. Who cares, don't buy it. There are plenty of people of the public, and plenty of fans who will faithfully purchase the album and enjoy it. Noone will lose sleep if you and others don't, Madonna won't and I sure won't.

Well from the MDNA album sampler, while not the most innovative work she has put out, they did seem like pretty good songs, specifically GGW, would have made a better first single and could have probably more effectively used Nicki as a feature rather than as a tack on as a cheerleader on a song.
Masterpiece is also a nice song, which I believe deservedly won the GG.
