'Life' was going to be Madonna and director Jonas Åkerlund's statement clip about the U.S.'s invasion of Iraq -- until pop's queen of controversy decided it was one battle she didn't want to fight.
“You know, it’s ironic we’re fighting for democracy in Iraq because we ultimately aren’t celebrating democracy here,”. “Anybody who has anything to say — against the war or against the president or whatever — is punished, and that’s not democracy.” Naturally, she was asked whether she’d been looking to avoid a similar fate as the Chicks in scrapping her video. “I give you my honest-to-God promise that that is not the reason,” she.
The track itself may not have been destined for anything other than infamy, considered as it is by many to be among Madonna’s worst, or at the very least her most inaccessible. From its choppy sound, to its expletives, to its inelegant rap — “I’m drinking a soy latte, I get a double shoté/ It goes right through my body, and you know I’m satisfied” — it didn’t exactly scream radio smash. In the end, the single peaked at No.
At this point, it’s something of a side note that “Hollywood” is what the star was performing, alongside Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, when the threeat the 2003 VMAs in August — the headline-making moment that, for a lot of people, overwrote anything else Madonna did that year.
