BBC 6 Music Week interviewer played a word association game with Muse singer Matthew Bellamy, here’s what he said about “Ambition”:
Matthew Bellamy: Ambition, whenever I hear the word, in my head, all I can think of is Madonna, for some reason. Her in the 80s. Very ambitious person and a great artist, certainly explores many avenues to get her name out there. I think she’s a very special lady.
Interviewer: As an artist I suppose people would associate your music with more the kind of rock genre, but when you were growing up, did you admire pop stars like that ? Did you see the scale of their performances and their image and find that quite appealing ?
Matthew Bellamy: Specially live performances. I think artists like Madonna and Michael Jackson are both amazing live performers. I remember seeing the footage of their concerts and really thinking, well that’s something really extraordinary. Rock bands don’t really do that…

Its So Cool, is a wicked bad ass song, love it!
I would love to see her perform this on
Saturday Night Live.
I wouldnt worry about it if I were you guys, Madonna knows exactly what shes doing, and Im grateful to just be able to watch
I just heard the bonus track on Celebration called “Its So Cool”. such trash. corny lyrics. music is good and had potential, but the song itself is pure garbage. Its kinda like a earlier much worse version of “hey you”….thank. Madonna has lost her touch!
I really like It’s So Cool. I don’t see anything wrong with the lyrics. It’s definitely the best of the new songs.
Are you insane? Tone def?
The lyrics suck ass!
Its a bad bad bad song.
One of her worse!
Tim.. I agree the song does not flow well at all…I was shocked. I would expect a song like this from a brand new musician not from one who has been in the business for 30 years. Yes, Madonna is sinking FAST.
the song was not done with full effort. it seems boring and blah blah blah. i hope her next album is gonna be good
You are right Tim…
the lyrics are a joke. My 10 year old cousin could have come up with those lyrics.
Also, she needs to stop being so “preachy” in her songs…”life is just a test”…no shit sherlock! every major religion states that. this is some new profound thing you’re hearing Madonna? Really?
I like rock, but I also like the performance aspect of what Madonna does. That’s why I would love for Madonna to do a rock influenced album. She could combine the rock sound of music which I love with her great performance ability. People say a rock album by Madonna would be boring because they think she would just stand there and play the guitar. But there’s no reason why you can’t do rock music but also dance and perform to it. If she did that in her next tour, it would be something totally new and inspiring.
I agree with you Jon, I love Rock and Madonna Rock would work so fine, she Is a rock girl.
gross! madonna is awesome at electonic stuff and acoustic work and soul/r&b, but not rock or country. its way to white for her bones.
I guess you forgot to tell Living Colour and Jimi Hendrix that rock is only for white people. Music has no color!
MUSE RULES!!!
Well what he says is true. I don’t know why to admire rock bands. I mean all they do is staying there an play the music. Madonna performs and feels the music. She gives her something like soule.
he best lick her asshole or else i’ll teach him a lesson he wont forget.
shut up bitch!
