A Good Tribute - But You Can't Beat The Real Thing

"There have been about 4 or 5 Madonna Tribute Albums out (Truly Blue, the two Virgin Voices CDs, etc.) and this one is pretty much like them. This CD does have it's good remakes ('Beautiful Stranger,' and the only half-decent remake of 'Like A Prayer' I've heard). But there are some disappointing tracks. There's a reason it's called "Getting Into The Grooves" : "Skin" , "Into The Groove" and a few others are basically just instrumental tracks with little or no lyrical content. This CD is one for the Madonna fan with an open-mind about their Queen's music. So you could like it, love it, or hate it. Buy with an iffy-state of mind!"

Bland madonna "covers"

"i'll make this easy. don't waste your money. most of the tracks do not have any vocals and the songs that do are not good. plus, this sudden craze to remake all of madonna's older songs through electronica is getting tired...especially since most of it is not done well."

Keeping You Energized

"Although the songs on the album aren't exact replicas of Madonna's songs, as a tribute album it is definitely an original. I plan to use this CD mostly while I'm jogging and for those days that I just need a little extra "pick-me-up". There a few songs that I didn't care for, but overall this album is very good. If you're looking for music resembling techno or dance type music, then this CD is for you."
