Madonna's latest film, 2000's The Next Best Thing of course comes equipped with a Madonna soundtrack. Trust me it's alot better than the movie. While the film tanked miserably, the soundtrack is full of beautiful, mostly electronic songs. Madonna does a mean cover of "American Pie", and for those of you who are [upset,] it didn't make GHV2-it just doesn't belong with huge tunes like "Take A Bow" and "Music". It belongs here, though as does the other Madonna tune "Time Stood Still" which isn't the strongest Madonna ballad, but listenable;all fitting among dance pioneer Moby and his breathtaking "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?"-you know, just in case you didn't hear it in [the store] and primetime tv [several] times. Theres up and coming Djs Groove Armada and their "If Everybody Looked The Same", a good followup to their [booty]-shaking hit "I See You Baby". Theres Beth Orton and her sultry ambient/folk number "Stars All Seem To Weep"; Olive's cover of "I'm Not In Love", and the irresistably goofy "Bongo Bong" by Manu Chao. Theres plenty of great,diverse things on here. The only thing I would leave out is Christina Aguilera, who like this movie, is indeed a disaster.
