People Magazine - Interview Highlights
Posted: 19 April 2003

Madonna is the cover star of the 28 April issue of the US magazine People, highlights of the article were featured in the UK newspaper, the Daily Express:
'I'm a very passionate person and when you really love someone, the sex and the love is going to be great....Guy and I have done a lot of growing up in the last few years and we understand that marriage is about having shared goals. We have things we each want to do, but we're clear that the partnership comes first....Our whole life is based around the children. Either Guy or I am with them at dinner, and we spend evenings together.'
Asked if she was pregnant, Madonna said that she wasn't but that she would like more children.
The singer pulled the anti-war video for her American Life single, as it was feared it might cause a backlash during the conflict with Iraq. 'Children, brothers, wives and sons were over there and people at home were worrying about them....I'd be putting salt in their wounds.'
She said she wanted to make another film even though her last, Swept Away, was a US flop and is unreleased in the UK.
Of herself she said: 'I've grown. I don't want people to dress like me anymore....I want them to think like me. Dress like Britney Spears and think like me - and everything will be fine.'

Madge CD is a beauty - First UK press review
Posted: 06 April 2003

From The People's Sean O'Brien
I am the first journalist to review the new CD by Madonna, American Life.
As with Music her last album she's written a song for Guy, X-Static Process. She sings: 'I always wished that I could find, someone as beautiful as you, but in the process I forgot that I was special too.'
And in one of her most personal songs to date, Mother and Father, she sings: 'My mother died when I was five, and all I did was sit and cry, I cried and cried and cried all day, until the neighbours went away.' Here's my track-by-track rating:

American Life - It mixes R&B beats with her producer's familiar electronic sound 4/5

Hollywood - A mid-tempo sugary-sweet guitar song 3/5

I'm So Stupid - A great rock-based and upbeat track. Lots of electric guitar. This is more like Alanis Morrisette than the Madge we are used to 4/5

Love Profusion - One to set the nightclubs alive. Great melody and acoustic guitar flavour. Definately a grower 3/5

Nobody Knows Me - Not only the best song on the album, but one of her best ever. Shows why Madonna is the Queen of Pop 5/5

Nothing Fails - Starts out like a campfire song. Towards the end comes a rousing gospel choir 4/5

Intervention - Fairly average, but could be a grower 3/5

X-Static Process - Very laid back ballad 3/5

Mother and Father - Move over Kylie. This 80's-style disco tune has dark lyrics. Also sings of her love for her father 5/5

Die Another Day - Bond theme is not her finest moment 2/5

Easy Ride - Luscious strings of previous hit Frozen and the electronic beats of Music 4/5

Overall it's good, but will take a few listens to get into 4/5

Madonna pulls new American Life video
Posted: 01 April 2003

From Madonna.com:
Madonna has decided to withdraw the video for her new single 'American Life' which has been the subject of rumors and misinformation. The artist released the following statement:
'I have decided not to release my new video. It was filmed before the war started and I do not believe it is appropriate to air it at this time. Due to the volatile state of the world and out of sensitivity and respect to the armed forces, who I support and pray for, I do not want to risk offending anyone who might misinterpret the meaning of this video.'
