Let's face it, when the demo was released, EW reviewed it and trashed it to smithereens and everyone screamed "WAIT FOR THE FINAL PRODUCT!!"

Well it's here, and aside from the added Nicki and M.I.A. features, it hardly sounds any different.

Let's take a look back in time at some of the comments from this thread:

EW: Madonna's demo is the musical equivalent to hydrangeas

It's a demo so who cares? I bet the real version is a lot better.

I see no lies.

More is expected of the Queen.

Oh, how I wish I didn't agree with them

It's just a demo though, let's see what she brings with the final version.

I like the demo quite a bit, but those who disapprove of the direction she's taking shouldn't be entirely dismissive just yet. The final product could be quite different, and if the song is not going to be released until the new year, I think it's reasonable to assume that Madonna would take some of the criticism of the track to heart and make some changes.

So why should we give a **** about the demo? HIAM demo was a mess and the song slayed discographies.

And, really do listen to Madonna's Hung Up demo that Sahn posted. It's awful compared to the final.

Originally posted by SwagLikeALegend

It's awful but it's only a demo.

I had high expectations but that demo was bland. I've already forgotten what it sounded like

Originally posted by Jameson Teqkilla

They can tweak all they want, but right now the track is basic. It sounds like something Keri would refuse for her fifth album.

Not a single trend set.

Heres to hoping the mastered final is kilometers better.

Tbh the the more I listen to the song the more I think its total ****.

Originally posted by bobbymfw

The song is straight up atrocious.

I hope the final instrumental really hits hard with it's dubstep & is less bubblegum - One thing I expect from Madge is innovation - this isn't it.

The lyrics are forgettable & shallow, still, I have no doubt she has something up her sleeve.

people judges a demo, really people?

Originally posted by Gui Blackout

Some people will look really stupid when the final/real version comes out.

Originally posted by Drowned_World

The final version will probably sound very different from the demo we have now.

I think they should change the beat, it sounds too much like "Hello"

To those listed above, how do you currently feel about the final version of the song, now that it's been released and has "changed?"

Well the song is as horrible as the demo and i find the collabs totally unnecessary. It definitely sounds pratically the same.

*prays for album's sake*

This was my thought exactly! My twitter timeline was dragging the demo to the pits of Hell and back, but they are praising the final version, when it sounds almost identical... I never got the hate for the demo though, It's fun

IKR.

Everyone (including Madonna stans) dragged the demo hoping the final version would be better, and even when they realized it was the same, they praised it

I didn't realize that was a prerequisite to the answering the title/main idea of the thread.

Many others were capable of responding without being quoted.
