I guess not but as it's one of the few conventional pop songs on Rudebox, it becomes a contender by default. Summertime is the only really obvious single left but it's the wrong time of year to release that.
I'm glad She's Madonna will be a single, though. It's got a lovely soaring melody and reminds me a bit of Human by Human League mixed with Sense by Lightning Seeds, which are both fabulous records. And it should do well in the January market - there's only really Erasure for competition at that time of year.
Passion, love, sex, money, violence, religion, injustice and death. More on that story later.
I read today somewhere that Robbie and PSB will be performing it live somewhere in December for TV and the official Robbie single will be out in January.
(I literally read 500 websites and blogs a day, I wish i could link this. But it's a blur, and i have no reason to lie..or care. It's just what I read on the Net today..)
yeah, the video should be hilarious. and i'm sure it's gonna be credited to both rw and the psb. it would be rude not to and i guess it's also been set doen in the contract.
"She's Madonna" isn't single material IMHO. But if it's really going to be released, time will prove me right/wrong. One of the few songs with hit potential is "Kiss me". Just a plain simple pop song that gets stuck in your head after just 1 listen.
I don't know if Robbie will be appearing @ the festival on NewYears Eve or not but here's a story from Dotmusic that says the single will be out in Jan:
Robbie's PSB NYE
(Friday November 17, 2006 11:30 AM)
Robbie Williams is reported to be performing at Edinburgh's New Year's Eve 'Concert In The Gardens' party.
According to today's Sun [17 November], the "Rudebox" star will perform his forthcoming single "She's Madonna" with headliners Pet Shop Boys, who produced the song.
A source told the tabloid: "Robbie, Neil [Tennant] and Chris [Lowe] have become close pals over the last 12 months.
"They performed together earlier in the year for a radio show and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
"It will be one hell of a party up in Edinburgh. Robbie is up for doing at least one number but if things are going well he could end up doing more."
The ticketed Concert In The Gardens show will take place in Edinburgh city centre on December 31.
Pet Shop Boys' American tour which began in Montreal on October 10th ended last night at the Monterrey Arena, Mexico. The next PSB show will be in Edinburgh on December 31st. (No truth in the rumour that Robbie Williams will be guesting there!)

Hmmm... at least this means that Neil and Chris have some time on their hands to do an extra remix of She's Madonna, or to promote this single release (or an eventual 4th Fundamental single). Actually I won't be surprised if the single version of She's Madonna will feature additional Neil vocals.
