    Yipee!

    Sounds like a creative spot, but me thinks the device itself will be a yawner. Don't expect any new iPods on the 7th. Just a phone that will store a dozen songs or so...

    rokr will be a success

    After all, the dreadful razr is a success. Just shows that for the uneducated masses, style over substance wins every time.

    Madonna coming to iTMS

    This commercial would be rather ironic given that Madonna's music is not for sale on the iTunes Music Store (except for one soundtrack). Her music on MSN is album-only. Hopefully this commercial will signal a change.

    Now...

    Now if they got buckethead in there it would be a real success.

    Very very odd.

    And watch out for those razr phones - they're sharp.

    Nevermind.

    Hi. Madonna here...

    When I'm not busy falling off my horse, blocking Gwen Stefani from my thoughts and talking in a totally fake English accent in a further effort to deny my trashy guidette roots, I'm ROKing out with my fab new iTunes compatible phone.

    (And yeah, it's Billie Joe. Billy JOEL is the pudged-up, serially-divorced Piano Man whose car is magnetically drawn toward liquor stores and solid objects (in that order). Billie JOE is the sad little tw_t who alternates between writing touching-but-in-a-masculine-way power ballads and rrrawking anti-American screeds in a calculated effort to stay relevant to The Kids.)
