BREAKING NEWS

Our reader Michael was listening to Z100 in New York on my way home from work and they were interviewing Timbaland backstage at Jingle Ball.

As they were rapping up the interview they asked if he had anything else he wanting to mention and he said that coming up in the next quarter - he then said this January - look out for Madonna's first single with him and Justin...

"For the first quarter, January, we wanna look out for Madonna's first single which features me and Justin (Timberlake)," said Timbeland.

"I did most of her album," Timberland added. "Me and The Naptuers did the album. She (Madonna) has an incredible album!"

We remind you that at the album listening party Madonna said that she didn't decide the first single yet, since she was undecided between "Candy Shop" (produced by Pharrell Williams/The Neptures) and "4 Minutes To Save The World" (produced by Timbaland and Justin Timberlake) . Even if she was all about "Candy Shop", Warner people attending the listening party suggested her to release "4 Minutes To Save The World" as fist single.

Whoa, I wanna hear this.......Go Madge!

[sleepy eat pepper]

This sounds like it's going to be incredibly pretentious.

[I HATE LA REID]

oh my god... the combo JT and song title is awful!

[I'M ON ONE]

I dont wanna say "I cant wait to hear this", because then that will produce high expectations but...Im looking forward to it and hope it's as hot as it sounds on paper

[tozion]

I always look forward to new Madonna. I just hope she hasn't sacrificed her own sound or gone completely overboard and totally pretentious.

[That Skipping Rope.]

Three of my favorite people in music!

[Vow]

I have absolutely no expectations.

[Robert J]

Honestly, I'm excited for this. Sure, the title's pretentious, but as long as it's done in a fun way (although part of me fears it isn't), I think it could be fantastic.

[tozion]

The title makes me think it's really urgent like "Hung Up," but I can't see anything remotely like that coming from Timbaland and Justin.

[H.A.T.E. U]

Maybe it's a cocky song a la "Sexyback." Coming from the arrogant duo that is Timbo/Justina, this is entirely possible.

WOW! Madonna, Mariah & Janet all trying to go commercial? If they all have success, this would be the first time they were all big at the same time in how long?

[tozion]

All trying to go commercial? Since when are they not?

[tozion]

Madonna couldn't be in a better position really. She has the biggest producer of the moment and the biggest artist of the moment on her lead single. If she can't get a hit out of this, she's definitely over at radio. Not that it matters. The fact that she scored a few major radio hits in her 40's is impressive enough.

Anyone notice that Timbaland's name was spelled like 3 different ways in that article? Fake.

[tozion]

Well it was written by a fan site. It's not an official article.

1998 was a great year for all three of them. Now maybe 2008 will be too!

Except I think all three will flop, except Mariah will do okay by comparison to the other two because she's coming off of The Emancipation of Mimi.

[Grenade]

Yeah, and the Naptures?

It's probably real though.

Why do you think Mariah will flop or at least flop in comparison to 'TEOM'?

[l'homme dimanche matin]

For some reason, I have a feeling this is going to be like Give It To Me.

If we're going to compare it to songs Timbaland has already released, I hope it sounds closer to "The Way I Are".

[l'homme dimanche matin]

I was just saying that because it is Justina, Timba and Madonna substituting for Nelly F. I don't know what to expect but GITM popped in my mind immediately. Though I have to say the title of the song comes off as pretentious.
