Madonna-Justin Timberlake Duet: Hit or Miss?

I know this is a little far afield from TV Guide, but the first single from Madonna's new album leaked to the Web today, and, if nothing else, it's intriguing. "4 Minutes (to Change the World)" is a duet with the ubiquitous Justin Timberlake, and is produced within an inch of its life by the ubiquitous Timbaland. The good news: It has this incredible brass-band feel that reminds me how much I like Kanye West's taste in samples (think "Touch the Sky") and the movie Drumline. Plus, Justin says Ma-DON-na in this weird way that makes it sound like he's mocking her, counting his paycheck in his head. But that just might be my interpretation. What do you think of it? — Mickey O'Connor
