• Leo from Westminster 1, MdI do agree with Teresa from Tennessee and Olivia from New York. American Life was Maddy's second Freakout because she decried people who had attitudes, materialism and war. She was screaming with rage because Miss Ciccone bared her Soul on American Life. This song was even better during Reinvention because all Madonna wants to do is Rock Out! Do I think Madonna is satisfied? Heck No, she ain't! I guess Madonna channeled her inner Bessie Smith in American Life
  -the 21st Century Equivalent of Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do. Yet despite her rage at Society, Madonna still loves America because she Cries in Tears "American Life...You Are Not Just a Dream!" For Madonna, America is still a place where Dreams Can Come True. In this strange Ciccone Art Piece, Madonna is a Fighter and a great American. She Loves Her Land-that's the Midwest Heartland Truth! The Lady Rocks!
• Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnAmerican Life never got the respect it deserved, the song and the album. Madge is a risk-taker, plain and simple.
• Liv from New York, NyEven though this album has been viewed as a failure by many, I think It's one of her best efforts. Regardless of the fact that I am a huge supporter of all of Madonna's work, I really do think this was a phenomenal and brave album. People are so quick to judge just based on the negativity that surrounded this project, but if you take the time to listen to each track, and actually listen to what she is saying, I think It's rather groundbreaking. I do get that some people were reluctant to give It a chance though, It's not typical Madonna music that you want to shake your ass to. She covered so many heavy topics, I think she's learned to do that in a less intimidating way. Listening to "Hard Candy", she still discusses some really important things, It's just not so blatantly obvious as It is on this album.
• Rene from Grasse, FranceMadonna wrote this in order to try and justify the guilt she has for taking advantage of all that is special and exceptional in America. She made her fotune and them came over here to Europe and try to BS us which was not working in the US. In the song she pretends the US is a bad place in order to attempt to justify her existance.
• Sum Sum from New Delhiits considered one of her riskiest song. The original video was aired in MTV just once or twice and then it was banned.The single was filmed in the run up to the second Iraq War, and its content was deemed "unpatriotic" by early reports. The video was shot on a ramp, models cat-walking wearing US-army apparel and Iraqi outfits carrying weapons. This was quickly picked up in the media, which gave the impression that the album was anti-American in content. This was controversial amongst Madonna fans since she is known to never back down. With the pull out of this video - it seems that she was forced to do something she is known to not do: give in.
