I mean... Just listen to these: Not to mention many of these and the ROL album itself. -
I've never understood why this song receives so much hate both from non-fans and fans themselves. First, because I think it's a great and catchy rendition despite the omitted original verses, and second, her voice during the 99-00 era sounded fresh, mature and moving. In addition, this song is special to me because it was the first thing I heard from Madonna on the radio knowing who the singer was and how the video looked like, it is kind of the first representation of my mental image of her face. I remember trying to watch the video on MTV and looking at her perplexed by her beauty Fortunately, the Latinamerican edition of the Music album included American Pie as a bonus track so it was the real reason I bought the record in the first place. I don't know about you guys in the US but without Madonna's version of this song, I would have never become a fan of hers. On the contrary, despite Madonna's lack of affection towards this song (she's never performed it live in any of her tours and it's never been included in any of the compilations) the song managed to get to the top positions of several countries around the world: Finland, Canada, Australia, Italy, Germany, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK. Last but not least, I adore Mr Orbit's production!! I was so happy the day he leaked the instrumental version on Souncloud (despite containing a few missing seconds in between): https://soundcloud.com/user3791127/american-pie-instrumental What do you think? Do you like American Pie? Should Madonna sing it live?
