Madonna - Crazy For You (Geffen)

Madonna can sing! That means she is perfect after all. This is a really slow, smoochy number bearing no relation at all to tracks like "Material Girl" or "Lucky Star". After this she might be taken seriously and not just ogled at by moronic men (such as me). Taken from the soundtrack of Vision Quest, which is pretty good as well. (Simon O'Brien, Smash Hits, May 22, 1985)

Jeepers! It sings! For all of three minutes Maddy drops the teasy-tarty routine and comes on like some mad Crystal Gayle in a song from the movie Vision Quest. I hear Madonna's been having acting lessons herself recently, so it's a pity she couldn't have applied them here. Instead she sings with all the sincerity of a concrete rubber dinghy salesman.
