  • Mars Rivera from NowhereIt's been a long 4 minutes.
  • Diane from Providence, RiI'm a huge Madonna fan, but I never liked this song much. I can't put my finger on it, but something's just...off. I feel it is very heavy, kind of overly-dramatic in its lyrics and music.
  • Leo from Westminster 1, MdFun yet intelligent, with Four Minutes-Madonna delivers a dance rocker that is catchy yet thoughtful. The best song from Hard Candy, the tune is an essential art dance from
    Miss Ciccone. One of her final Warner hits is also one of her best singles. In an age where the
    45 rpm is virtually and practically nonexistent, Madonna shows that Four Minutes is more than a hit, it's a snapshot of her American life and our lives as well. I grew up with Madonna
    and Four Minutes is another Ciccone work of art.
  • Elizabeth from Anytownusa, IlI like this song a lot but madonna is not so "great" in this song kevin has a point justin does get all the credit
  • Elizabeth from Anytownusa, Ilreza you are so right
  • Kevin from Mobile, AlI don't really care for the lyrics in this song, I don't even know the lyrics in this song. It's the BEAT that drives it. Timberland gets all the credit.
  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnThis song has a killer hook and the music is addictive. I don't care for Timberlake but his voice sounds ok here.
  • Jesse from Ellenboro, NcGood song, Great Beat
  • Liv from New York, NyI love this song, and this whole record. Even though It's essentially a dance record, and It seems Madonna put an emphasis on fun given the state of our country and the world at large, she still discuses important issues. Not as boldly as on "American Life" or "Confessions on a Dance Floor", but the messages are still in the songs, she's not just singing about bubblegum nonsense like the majority of artists today.
  • Jones from San Antonio, Tx4 mins. has a good sound and dance beat to it, but a horrible message!
    -kinda still like the song, hate the video!
  • Reza from Shiraz, Irandont like it very much esp the video. madonna is getting old she cannot catch up with justin
