Madonna Album: “Don't Tell Me [Maxi Single]”

When I purchased Madonna's CD "MUSIC" I thought that there were better songs with more potential than this one. To be truthfull I wasn't feelin' this song what so even, and especially the beat. However, I am the biggest remix fanatic and these remixes took me by surprise giving me new hope and meaning to the song. I trully believe that the remixes sound better than the original version, but what does my opinion mean anyways.

Track Listing:

1.) Don't Tell Me (Timo Maas Mix) 6:56 = The beat to this remix more than exceptable compared to the original version of this song. I'm really feelin' this remix along with the rest of them. The beat to this song is pretty unique so I can't describe it much. Although I can mention that this song as a fabulous outro.

2.) Don't Tell Me (Tracy Young Club Mix) 11:00 = Now this remix has a real funky beat that will automatically take you by surprise. This remix is by far one of my favorite's. This remix even contains some of the original beats to it.

3.) Don't Tell Me (Vission Remix) 7:52 = This remix has a sort of dark jungle vibe to it. This remix along with a few others on this single feature an extra lyric that really spices up the song. The lyric isn't to big or memorizing but it is (GET UP... GET DOWN)

4.) Don't Tell Me (Thunderpuss' 2001 Hands In The Air Anthem) 10:20 = This remix was created by one of my favorite remixes so I can't hate on it, not that I wanted to in the first place. This remix is great! This remix has a few latin flares in the beat that spices the song up. This remix features an extra lyric that seams to be "SAY MY NAME"

5.) Don't Tell Me (Victor Calderone Sensort Mix) 6:48 = This remix starts out with a slow funky beat that indicates to you that it is going to pick up. I find this remix incredible, and the echo effects to Madonna's voice fits in great with the beat.

6.) Don't Tell Me (Vission Radio Mix) 3:48 = Now this remix is just "Get Up" off your seat! This remix is one of the Heart takers on the single. This remix doesn't hesitate to bring in the vocals emidiately. They also do some funky voice machanics to Madonna's voice that is just wild.

7.) Don't Tell Me (Thunderpuss' 2001 Hands In The Air Radio) 4:26 = This is basically a radio edit of track 4 which I prefere more since it is sorter. Sort is my taste if you feelin' the lond on than go for it.

This maxi single has 7 remixes on it, now can you deny those worth wild remixes? I have been getting all my friends into remixes and you peeps need to get into them to and this is the perfect maxi single to start with. Buy this single, it has more than one interests that you'll be feelin' on here.

This is by far Madonna's greatest Maxi-Single ever released in the US. First of all it has seven, count them, 7 great remixes on it. Second it has the "Don't Tell Me" video on the CD which is one of Madonna's best videos ever. Third it comes in a gorgeous standard jewel case, unlike most of her recent maxi-singles which have come in ugly and annoying ecopacks. Fourth it even has the lyrics of the song and a cool yellow horseshoe CD design. Of course the layout wouldn't mean anything if the remixes weren't good. Amazingly all of them are good! My favorite is the Vission Radio Mix which has eccentric sounds and a great beat that refreshes the vocals. The Victor Caledrone Sensory Mix and the Timo Maas Mix are also great and don't sound like most dance remixes do. The Thunderpuss 2001 Hands in the Air Anthem and the Tracy Young Club Mix are more traditional club mixes that are great to dance and groove to. I don't think there is a single track on this record that I didn't like. If you like this song and good remixes you should definetly buy it!

"Don't Tell Me" is my favorite single released from "Music". I could not wait for the release of the maxi-single, so I could jam out to the remixes. I will have to say that these are some of the best remixes that I have heard in a long time. Every time I tend to purchase a maxi-single, all the remixes sound the same. This one is completely different. Every remix sounds as though you are listening to a complete new song.

To correct the previous reviewer - Maverick releases multi-part CD singles in the UK because the UK has horrible chart rules. If I am not mistaken, those rules basically are that there must be less than 20 minutes, and no more than 3 audio tracks.

That said, the TP2K mix is pleasant and catchy enough. The Vission is useless. The original song is pretty classic though.

If you're American, than just buy the domestic maxi coming out 1/16. It'll also have remixes by Tracy Young, Victor Calderone, and a great remix by Timo Maas.

Hi. I gave this single 5 stars, not for the remixes, but for the wonderful music video that comes with it. When she came out with the song I was disapoineted that the video didn't come out on dvd like "Music" or "What it feels like for a girl", but when I slid the cd into my computer (to play the songs) I was pleasently suprised to see the music video pop up! It is so cool to watch madonna dance around in the sand with her cow-girl hat on and cow-boy boots. This is one of her best songs and in my opinion it is her best video. When you put it in your computer it comes up just as clear as a DVD would be. It comes in as a full screen!!!! As far as the remixes go, they are are pretty good. I prefer the original version, but when I found out this cool music video was on the compact disk, I bought it on the spot! You better add this to your wish list... FAST!
