Is a new Madonna video enough of an event that I should blog my reaction to each and every second of this catastrophe/masterpiece? I would do that for Lady Gaga – does Madge deserve the same treatment? I think yes. Especially when it’s her first single in a long time, and especially since Madonna’s new video for “Give Me All Your Luv” is so… interesting. Please note: It didn’t even register to me at first that “Give Me All Your Luv” was the name of Madge’s NEW single. I really just glossed over that at first, thinking Madonna had already done a song called “Give Me All Your Luv.” Doesn’t it feel like she’s already had a similar-sounding song title? Right?
Anyway, here’s the video. My thoughts are below:
0:13 – Wait, M.I.A. is in here? Is anyone else startled by a collaboration between two pop stars who know so little about international politics yet both front like they’re experts?
0:24 – Madge looks like she was about to fall down and break her hip as she came out of the doorway. Excellent trench coat too.
0:31 – MADONNA BUTT CHEEK. REPEAT: MADONNA BUTT CHEEK.
0:37 – Just noticed Madge’s glove-lets. She really hates her hands these days.
0:50 – In the part where Madge is wearing the black two-piece leotard, her hair looks great.
1:02 – I don’t get the “high school football game” imagery. Why cheerleaders? Why football players? Why is Madonna so desperate to surround herself with jailbait-y images?
1:20 – God, this song SUCKS.
1:24 – Madonna dances like she’s afraid she’s going to pop a hip too.
1:50 – Grandma hip thrust! Gross. Why all the closeup cutaways to her crotch?
2:02 – We get it, Madge. You like to be carried around by nubile young beefcake.
2:10 – OH DEAR GOD. Madonna tries the Marilyn Monroe crap again, only this time she’s looking especially drag queen-y.
2:20 – M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj are doing Marilyn too. I’m so embarrassed for both of them.
3:24 – WATCH YOUR HIP!!
3:34 – Butt cheek.
3:36 – Baby toss? Terrible. Basically, this is just awful.

She basically recycled the choreography of the men holding her up, from her Material Girl clip (as well as the Monroe stuff mentioned)
I’d say that this song is ‘reductive’.
Soft focus, botox, gloves to cover 50 year old veiny hands…
One word for Madonna:
RETIRE.
Reductive, nice one!
I luv it. No gimmicks. Pure fun. BTW what do you know about music you old hoes?
MEG: Why can’t you just say that you like the video without trashing other posters? And hoes is not an acceptable synonym for females.
The same reason why you can’t say that you don’t like the video without trashing Madonna.
You old ho, probably a hell of alot more than you….that I’m sure of!
Meg needs to shut up.
Meg is kidding ladies, I loled so much
😆 Her entire schtick is “reductive”. Crass beetch.
You missed the hose to cover the old lady legs. Even though she is super toned she is getting skinny old lady legs. You can see it in the black out fit. The tan hose in the white outfit hide it better.
Although I agree with some of your comments, I wouldn’t expect a woman to make such a catty remark about another woman. It’s thanks to people like you that women are still held back today. And remember: you might not be one yet, but inevitably you will age and become the woman you are making fun of. You will become invisible. Just remember then, when you used to be mean about other girls.
I agree with you but Madonna should start acting her age.
But we won’t be out there trying to emulate a teen in order to still be relevant in the music industry like she is trying to do.
She should have just opened a new chapter of music –with her legacy we would have been receptive. This way is just not working for her.
You only said “reductive” because you saw the interview where Madonna stated that on first listen to Lady Gaga’s “Born this Way” single, she found it “reductive”. Better luck next time Maya.
I don’t get the love for her. Never liked her, never will.
So agree with you! Never got the appeal. Thin little voice … fishnets, check. Cross necklace, check. I can’t believe she hasn’t evolved past this yet.
I never got her. She was an “old ho” to me even then. I didn’t like her music and I didn’t like what she was selling. I liked Depeche Mode and U2 so she was totally not up my alley but I also liked Sheila E and she was pop.
Now she’s a joke. She will be the next Demi Moore (or Jocelyn Wildenstein).
Doesn’t this look like an Old Navy commercial in parts? Like the way they’re all walking in unison down the alley. This is ridic and I agree with you Kaiser, this song sucks!
Yes, it seems like Madonna just misappropriated random “youthful” images that she saw on TV.
I know! And WTF was up with that baby? I’m laughing just remembering that video. I can’t believe it’s real
Totally agree with the Old Navy comparison.
Can you guys do these blog reaction things more often, so funny!
Old Navy meets Material Girl. Bang on.
Ha! I had a similar thought when I watched this mess – why is Madonna doing crappy Old Navy commercials now?
Hahahahah!
Micheal K says….its like and auto-tune of a Toni Basil queef/ Old Navy commercial
I think you just explained my gut reaction to this hideous mess….I hate those commercials.
it is a commercial for smirnoff vodka. the product placement is in the club scenes. hence the red and black colors throughout.
the song is awful.
Wowza, had to watch a second time (not happy about that by the way)..but you’re right about the vodka, crazy.
The entire video is made about Lady Gaga.. she represents the baby.. and read the lyrics to the song. All the comments on youtube are now monsters vs madonna fans
well, not a gaga monster, but if this about gaga it is an epic fail. I thought the baby was referencing papa dont preach.
Amazing, not her best, but a big improvement from her last videos.
OMG. Speechless.
Trainwreck.
She has become an embarrassment – wish she would just go away. She was good in the 1980’s – not in 2012 (Dang, that was 32 years ago!)
Go away madonna.
She’s not giving up without a fight. How embarassing.
Dont like it. This is clearly throw back beat of the 80s when she was popular. I think Nikki M attempted to save it with her rap and upbeat lyrics that are out there today. Madge you need to go back to the drawing board hun. :*(
Madge’s inclusion of “hip, young stars” in her song/ video seems so desparate for her. Their fans don’t know who Madonna is. R they supposed to care now that the younger artists are there? I doubt it. I knew years ago (when she was still with Guy Ritchie) that Madonna was never going to leave quietly or gracefully.
Who DOESN’T know who Madonna is? Of course their fans will know her, but whether they’ll like her is another story.
Insert young alternative singers. Check.
Add a touch of Marylin. Check.
Copy a little Gwen Stefani. Check.
Add cutesy beat. Check.
Ok, it just plain weirds me out that she has taken her ‘powerful woman’ image and brought it back to girly 15 year old level circa Katy Perry. The whole I’ll buy an audience by inserting specific cultural references is so beneath her!
To be fair I’m not a fan of Bowie or Jaggers later efforts either. I dont mind so much when people own their past with pride. But this just seems like Madonna is trying to be some fresh off the block tartlet when she isn’t. She is an artist with an incredible history and she should own it!
I’ve never cared that she wanted to dance half naked or not act like an old woman – thats her business. But this whole combination doesnt work for me.
Lisa, I can’t reply to you directly but here goes: young people born in the 90s and early 00s do know the NAME Madonna but do they know the relevance of the Madonna? Do they know how annoying she was and all the calculated controversies she caused.
I know who Elvis is – fat guy in a white suit that died when I was 5. I know who the Beatles were – that cute little English pop group with the pretty melodies – but are they relevant to me? Honestly, I know the Beatles because the ‘rents played McCartney’s solo work – so it was the band PM was in before I was born. To my ears they sounded like the Monkees, who by a fluke of TV reruns I heard first. The ‘rents had Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd or Skynard playing.
Young people think Madonna is a name like Elvis is a name to me. I didn’t know Elizabeth Taylor won an Oscar but I know she was a teen idol (girls wanted to be her) along with Grace Kelly when my mom was a little girl.
Madonna has always been desperate. She was laughed at in the 80s. I know because I was there. The only reason Madonna became and remained well known is because she JUST WOULDN’T GO AWAY. Madonna was like a chronic annoying rash; eventually we just all learned to live with her because we couldn’t get rid of her.
So really, she hasn’t changed a bit.
Madonna doesn’t look like Marilyn. She looks like Carol Channing. Or Phyllis Diller.
In other words: Not Good.
And why, oh why, did M.I.A. & Nicki agree to this?
My guess….
They agreed because it is Madonna. However, they were probably thinking of the Madonna way back when, not this train wreck…
Yes Phyllis Diller.. LOL!!!
Veruca
That was too funny. You could also throw in Bette Davis in ‘whatever happened to baby jane? A striking resemblance there. In fact if she continues down this sorry path she will turn into baby jane.
LOL!!!!
That’s 3:45 of my life I just wasted….
on a lighter note…I can’t wait for Sunday…..that bitch is going to suck. I can feel it in my bones!
I only lasted 1:34. It’s ridiculous in its embarassment. She is way too old for this, it makes no sense what so ever. I think if she didn’t love herself so very much she’d go the way of Demi Moore.
You lasted more than me I was out at 0:53.
“God, this song SUCKS.” – I frickin love this song, and I’m not ashamed! The chorus is so catchy and fun, I loved it before I even knew it was Madonna.
you didn’t know it was madonna??? her name is in the bloody chorus for pete’s sake! hahahaha
In my defense, it’s on the radio in the car and I just bop along without paying attention. And plenty of other artists sing songs about Madonna- (do it with Madonna by the Androids & she’s Madonna by Robbie Williams).
You’re right though, I should’ve kept that to myself. *smacks own forehead*
To be fair to Tiegan – if she didn’t say it was Madonna then you wouldn’t know… she sounded nothing like she used to. Which is such a shame for 80s girls like me who loved her growing up. This was just sad.
I’m with you Tiegan…I heard it this morning, popped in before the chorus, and was like…oh! Gwen Stefani meets Avril Lavigne…I almost Shazaamed it, then I heard the chorus, THEN I had to hear my 11 year old son say, Oh god mom, can we turn it off? All of her songs sound exactly the same.
BUT…I’m still singing it in my head, and think, I would dance to this. Catchy is good.
I’m in the minority and will admit I enjoyed the song. It’s very catchy and now I can’t get it out of my head.
The video’s not bad, but it’s not one of my favorites either. She can grate on my nerves with her pretentious personality, but I’ve always liked her music. It’s the 80s child in me.
Can’t remember the name of it, but the last Madonna video I saw consisted of her sticking her crotch into the camera repeatedly in a leotard. Then she changed into a short dress–and proceeded to stick her crotch into the camera repeatedly. More of the same. I’m sure both songs and videos are classic, like the greatest art ever made, and I just hate strong women. Yeah, that’s it. ***eye roll***
You hate strong women? Coming from a woman (I presume you are a woman with your name being Ivy) that is really pathetic. Do you expect women to be submissive? Are you jealous that Madonna can do anything she wants without caring what people like you think? I’ll choose to be a strong woman while you shrink in the corner.
Sarcasm Cher_elle, sarcasm.
Ivy’s comment was obviously meant as sarcasm! Get over yourself.
I got your joke, Ivy 😉
Duh! How is this funny? This is not even sarcasm! Bitterness does not look good… Of course Rihanna or Gaga never throw their crotch at us? The song sucks but come on…
It’s a shame that some people don’t know when it is time to retire. She is soooooo done!!!! It’s like watching a freak show at this point, and not in a good way. LOL!!
I think the football players have to do with the Super Bowl somehow… good grief… WOW!!! I can honestly say this song AND video sucks!!
I agree-this is timed to release right before the superbowl performance, so I’m expecting more of this crap on Sunday
Yep – can’t wait (eye roll) LOL
I agree with the Super Bowl tie-in. You have to give her credit for marketing savvy (or someone who works for her). This song should be on the Disney channel.
I love Madonnas music but this was just bad I couldn’t even watch the whole thing it was crap, what happened.
She is over 50 and it is time to stop acting as a hoothie kootchie girl. And she needs to drop the the fake accent and go back to her Detroit roots, otherwise she is just another phony.
She has such a weak voice. I’ve never understood how she built her career. Terrible singer. The video is a cry for help.
This video is weird but nothing tops the “What it feels like for a girl” video which is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
cherish is right up the weird alley too.. lol
That Cherish video ripped off Brigitte Bardot in a scene from “And God Created Woman”. The Express Yourself video entirely ripped off the silent film “Metropolis”; the only difference was that Madonna’s version was in color. Then there’s Material Girl, which is supposedly an homage to Marilyn performing “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend”. The video for Vogue copied the photography of George Hurrell, Laszlo Willinger and, especially, Horst P. Horst, who was not pleased because he never gave her permission and she never gave him acknowledgement. This Used To Be My Playground ripped off Boy George’s “To Be Reborn” video. Love Profusion ripped off Billie Piper’s “Honey To The Bee” video.
This can all be verified on YouTube. Bitch has copied throughout her career. And people whine about Gaga copying Madonna.
Wow..that was terrible. But, I have to say after almost 30yrs she is STILL all over the radio from the oldies station to the Pop station and they are playing her ALL DAY because she’s doing the Super Bowl half time show. I litterally heard her on two radio stations driving into work and saw that album cover on a billboard. Now THAT’S longevity.
That’s not longevity, that is record company trickery. Radio play is BOUGHT and paid for, because the media companies that own the airwaves also have many baby and sister companies. If your record company doesn’t have an in with a radio station company and if they don’t shmooze the radio station…your songs don’t get played.
Pay-for-play is technically illegal, but they do it under the table.
“only luv can make you a player”?! seriously??? always so deep, madge…
I loved it people take things way to seriously it’s a fun song and video!
I didn’t watch the whole video or really listen to the song. I just fastfowarded to the baby toss…. WTF was that about!?
i believe Marylin is tossing and turning in her grave
Yup. Poor Marilyn. So many copy her, but they rarely get it right. They look like caricatures. Blonde curly hair, red lipstick, and a fake mole aren’t enough. People who actually knew her said she truly was one-of-a-kind. And she was. You can’t manufacture a person’s individuality and mannerisms.
Marilyn’s unique charm was that she could be both sexy and sweetly innocent at the same time. That’s difficult to fake if it’s not part of your personality. Madonna is too hard, too cold, and too calculating for her imitation to be believable.
She sounds nasal to me. You’d think they would fix that in the editing room.
The video is awful. Definitely reminiscent of an Old Navy commercial.
I love how they made sure when she was being carried around (one of the times at least) someone made sure there were hands around her waist so it would look even smaller.
Madonna has become such an embarassment (sp?)
That is her voice after all the editing. Can you imagine how she sounds without that help? Her singing could probably peel paint. LOL!
“I’m not that kind of girl.”
Uh…..girl?
That was my exact reaction.
My reaction too. Girl?? Her daughters are girls, she is “a woman of a certain age”.
Mine too. I don’t like being referred to as a girl, and I’m 23. But I guess that’s because I’m not desperately clinging to youth yet.
i too thought out loud, girl? i feel sorry for madonna at this point, even with all her fame and money, i hate when this happen, just go away nice and quiet, you had a good run, know when to bow out.
Mine, too 🙂 I thought “Of course you’re not that kind of girl – because your’re a WOMAN! For decades, by the way!”
I bought those same SPANX she is wearing, for my work Christmas Party this year. I would not have cringed at the price, if I would have know that I could wear them as pants/part shirt. If they would have come with the gloves, that would have made my day!
OMG! Too funny.
last person who wears or needs to wear spanx is madonna…say whatever else you want, she is in awesome shape. period.
Is it maybe all due to the fact that she’ll be singing for the superbowl on sunday?
Is she pushing her grandchild in that stroller??
Someone needs to tell her she is old. Repeatedly. If you’re pushing 60, you’re pushing a stroller like a granny not a young mother. Also, really don’t want to see her t&a.
People keep telling her she is old(er), that’s why she keeps trying to prove people wrong. Her newest attempt: gloves. Because that’s all she needs to hide her real age… Well, she must be on some fine medication.
This desperate witch is past her expiration date and she knows it!
That’s why she’s doing songs with whoever is hot right now. Britney back then, last time Justin Timberlake and now Nicki Minaj. That sh*t sold – the solo songs she did since “Hung up” all tanked.
stupid video, but she really does have awesome hair when she’s wearing that black leotard thing!
it is a n advert for her superbowl gig.
yikes.
The only thing I would disagree about is that MIA is clueless about international politics. She grew up in the midst of A LOT of political turmoil.
i hope it’s ironic but i guess it’s all for Madge’s ego
So “reductive” and horrible. Didn’t even really sound like Madonna with all the autotune. Just awful.
She will be 54 this year. She is so desperately clinging ( with leather, fingerless gloves) to what she once was. Demi is aging but not working and also desperately clinging to an outdated version of herself. Jesus, if I had a small fraction of their cash I think I could age gracefully in a lovely, sunny locale. I guess it’s not about the image or cash, it’s what you have inside huh ladies? Buy yourself some help you lucky biatches!
I really hate feeling embarrassed for other people. *cringe*
Embarassing it’s the correct word, it reminds me of an hybrid between that Avril Lavigne mess “girlfriend” and a Madonna song “Love profusion”.
Not even Britney would make a video/song like this because she knows she’s too old for it. This song should literally be banned from anyone over the age of 17. Damn, I miss mid-90’s Madonna. Does anyone else miss the Bedtime Stories/Evita/This used to be my playground era Madge? Back when she tried to sing and write like a sensual adult human woman. Now she is freakin pathetic and trying to relive her youth.
I loved “90s Madonna – Erotica, Bedtime Stories. But imloved the next decade too. 2000’Music had some great songs. American Life, I loved her folk songs off of it. Confessions On A Dance Floor was glorious. Hard Candy was enjoyable for a while but then forgettable save a few songs. I pray there’s some great songs on this new album. This isn’t one.
Don’t get me wrong I have loved most of her music this decade too but, for me, her pinnacle was from “Like a Prayer” to “Ray of Light.” Everyone has their favorite version of Madonna and early 90’s is for me. To truly understand how crappy this video is go watch “Bad Girl” and compare. Now that was a good little piece work.
I can’t finish the song. After she claimed she was a “girl” and I thought to myself, “Isn’t she in her fifties?” I realized I couldn’t go through with it. Pretend all you want Madonna, but you are an aging woman. Photoshop works wonders but its creepy that you pretend its still 1982.
i miss the ‘Ray of Light’ days. there was hope then of her making a transition into a more mature woman who could still produce and perform pop music, and not have the desperate need to cling to her youth.
Totally agree! It seemed like she was growing and transforming and that motherhood was helping her blossom. Even through Confessions on a Dancefloor I liked her stuff but that last cd was just dreck. Whoever said that she’s merely making music with whoever is “it” at the moment was correct.
This is exactly right. She’s never been a good singer, although by virtue of her ubiquity she’s certainly been a part of our lives. But she needs to realize that what would be truly groundbreaking would be to accept that she’s aging.
WTF was that video even about? Why the baby and the walking on the football players?
The only good parts were her hair (want!) and M.I.A. M’s legs look pretty great too.
lol, I think she’s pushing that stroller in the hopes everyone will forget she’s going through menopause.
That is not music. I had to stop it after 30 seconds it was so….so….. banal, so vapid, repetitive, boring. Nothing but immature fluff, not an ounce of substance or talent in it. Go away Madonna, stop inflicting this punishment on us.
“Every record sounds the same”- if she’s talking about her our music, then that’s about all she got right in that song.
Is the football imagery a reference to her performing at the Super Bowl?!
Can someone tell me what the 36 on the back of every player means?
Is it the age when she stopped getting older and that she is eternally 36 years old??? Well in her head, at least…
No, seriously why 36? Does the number have a special meaning for her?
18 and 36 are super lucky “good” numbers in kabbalah. 18 is the number for the word “chai” (life) and 36 and other multiples are used also for good luck… maybe that’s the reason?
Oh, thanks! Maybe that is the reason.
Funny because both 18 and 36 equal 9, which is a number that seems to “follow” me everywhere!!
I’ll look into them! 🙂
Is it just me or did anyone else think the header photo was another busted attempt by Lindsay Lohan doing Marilyn Monroe??
IS IT JUST ME?!?!?
Oh Madge, you chicken cutlet cheek, first of all…you are not a GIRL, you are a WOMAN.
Secondly, what’s with the L-U-V Madonna…who gives themselves a childish shout out like that in a song?
I heard it this morning for the first time, and I have to admit it’s catchy. But I also totally thought it was Avril Lavigne trying to pull a Gwen Stefani.
This can’t be good.
Remember when Madonna used to trail blaze.
Remember when Madonna used to not follow the masses adn do her own thing.
Remember the brilliance of Ray of Light. So sad.
But her hair looks great!
I remember “Ray of Light”, “Erotic” and “Like a Prayer”. I remember hearing them for the first time and wanting to hear more. This is Muzak.
Yes, her hair looked wonderful. But all of our hair would look wonderful if we had professionals and extensions.
that video would have been cute from a younger performer. Same for the song.
Sorry lady but you gots2go! You suck dick and let’s keep it that way. leave the mtv for the ones who still have something to offer.
Haven’t watche the video, but I heard the song on the radio or the first time this morning and, until the DJ said it was Madonna, I had no idea who it was. I swear, I thought it sounded like Paula Abdul.
Hmmm I know, give a bit of butt cheek, do the Marilyn thing, wear some age innapropriate clothes, have a couple of girls sucking face for the shock value and nobody will notice its a crap song! Bog off to the retirement home love!
The video is pure camp on purpose. I like it. The song is average but catchy, but average. I am hoping for some great songs from the album. She does some songs with William Orbit. We’ll’see.
Uhhh…*blank stare*…Uhhh
.
This is a god aweful song and Madonna should be embarassed. I was expecting something spectacular and what I saw was something a 5th grader wrote.
I am all for being younger than your age, but this is ridiculous. Like Demi Moore ridiculous. I’d you hadn’t said it was Madonna, it could have passed for gaga.
I liked it. Madonna looked marvelous. NM added a punch kick to the piece. Anybody but an idiot would recognize the football angle was mapped for super bowl.
AWFUL!!!
I agree she needs to get back to more mature and interesting stuff like ray of light. This is too bubblegum pop for her and it’s silly.
At the same time, no one bags on mick jagger who looks like an arthritic monkey when he dances. So I’m a little hesitant to say she can’t still do stuff at her age. It’s more that she should do more quality stuff.
word.
thanks nina….at least your objective about it.
love mick jagger.
Disclaimer: No football players or babies were harmed during the filming of this video.
ha ha! very clever : )
this is really nothing new musically speaking…and really I never had big respect for her as a singer.She got great producers,that’s all,but this time she’s doing whAT EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE GAME IS DOING…even rhianna do it better!!!mY THOUGHTS ARE FOR mia…REALLY GIRL?iT’S a shame for an artist like her to say yes to such a disaster,just because of madonna.She should has said NO just because of madonna.
Wow. Just wow. That was just awful. What an embarrassment.
She looks great, but still oddly too old for this.
She’s more like a sexual predator that a playmate.
it was a tongue in cheek video for the SUPERBOWL and she was making fun of herself…
if she made a mature, sexualized video you all would’ve said she was too OLD to be sexual…(ridic) and that it wouldn’t be suitable or appropriate for her to put it out before the SUPERBOWL…
it was a light/fun video…calm down folks.
Yes, Nev! Thank you!
Ok…this is what I think:
Madonna was contemplating the sublte 80’s revival as of late, as well as people going ape shit over Gaga’s music, which she figures is a reinvention of her orinional stuff.
SO…
She comes up with a reinvention of her original shit too, and then just adds MIA and Minaj in there to cater to the youth, and because neither are blonde pop stars to feel threatened by.
The part where this 50 something year old woman says “She’s a different kind of *girl*.” and twirls her hair made me roll my eyes.
Otherwise, the song is like most on the pop radio, if not a little more boring.
L U V Madonna??
More like: O L D Madonna!
q
If she changed the title to “Give Me All Your Metamucil” and changed the locale to a nursing home, she could have a whole new fan base! Otherwise, RETIRE for the love of God woman!!! Go gently into that good night!!
Brilliant comment :0)
+10
ageist crap.
I used to be a huge Madonna music fan back when she made her Ray of Light and Music albums.
But this… this made me cringe. The video is meh and the imagery is way to inappropriate for someone Madonna’s age. Why can’t she just be creative and do something without showing us her crotch.
I could live with the video, but the music is absolutely awful. It somehow reminds me a bit of that annoying “Hey Mickey” song from the 80s.
I hope the rest of the album isn’t this bad.
Yuck. This video sucks. And if this is her attempt at parody, it still sucks.
Horrible, just horrible
If she’s trying to prove to her fans that she’s still got it, she’s failed miserably!! Lady Gaga must be snickering. An extremely annoying song and a pathetic video.
Maybe I was looking at it wrong, but weren’t the girls holding BASEBALL BATS right at the last few seconds (Yeah, I made it that long!)???? Have they got their sports equipment confused?
ROTFL! Talk about desperation. Madonna is unintenionally parodying herself as well as copying from many sources, in order to pander her crap to teenagers. You know, so she can get more money when her older fans start dying off. There’s a nod to the SuperBowl, but notice that those people are dressed up as high school football players and cheerleaders. Leave the tongue-in-cheek shtick to Weird Al Yankovic. He does it so much better.
She’s imitating Old Navy commercials (as others have mentioned), Toni Basil (“Mickey”)/Gwen Stefani (“Hollaback Girl”), and ripping off Marilyn Monroe, yet again, to sell her hackneyed brand.
No surprise, she’s including younger entertainers to try to appear hip and relevant with youngsters, as she did in the past with Britney and Timberlake.
And get yourself a better choreographer, Vadge. Those brokedown stripper moves are pathetic. Nobody wants to see you in another leotard gyrating your gristle.
As for her singing, it still sucks. During the beginning of her career, one critic said she sounded like Minnie Mouse on helium. Well, Mr. Critic, apparently she hasn’t changed.
Thank you I knew the video remained me of something it was Basil “Mickey” and Gwen Stefani “Hollaback Girl”.
I love it! Not generally a Madonna fan, but this was hilarious and fun. Also kinda digging the song. *bop*
It’s a very weird video..i believe it’s supposed to be funny, but Madonna is….not. She’s not self depreciating, there’s no irony..And it sounds like a 16-year-old’s first single.
I’m going to listen to “Frozen”. Good ol’ times.
I liked it.
She looks like a 20 year old!
That’s computer magic. Ever notice that she no longer has closeups of her face in her videos now?
The song is TERRIBLE and that video was just embarassing. Even MIA knew that, you could see it on her face!
I am still shuddering from the torture (I wanted to turn it off half way through, but couldn’t stand the thought of having to sit through it again if something interesting actually happened in the end).
Madge still amazes me as a powerful businesswomen. However, she is always preaching that she is Artistic, but this is garbage. This sounds like the electronica warbling that they play on the Family Channel. Torture.
am i the only one who noticed her perverse faux nursing of that baby??!??!?!?!?!
right around 1:44???
i threw up in my mouth.
I just went back and looked for it @ 1:44. Major league ICK! I think I’ll go donate money to the La Leche League now.
No, I noticed that too and it freaks me out! WTF was she thinking?? Ah, that’s something young women do, gotta have that in my video.
Such an embarassement, holy crap!
Good gawd man this is plain bad!
The left side of my skull is tingling, is that a stroke? Maybe tension. Anyways the Stefani/Basil rip off, srly?! Tossing a baby doll and walking all over football players.
Would have appreciated a new song more like “Take a Bow” for starters not another dancefloor trap crap. This song would’ve worked for Selena Gomez or any teeny bopper.
Does anyone watch rupaul’s drag race? She’s wearing the same outfit in this video as the horrifying Sharon Needles…. I got the side by side comparison as a tweet still looking for it on the Internet… The comparison is absolutely fabulous!!
Creepy! She looks so stiff; like her hips hurt and she is might turn her ankle in her boots. Like a GRANDMA is her song now…
My heart weeps. This song sucks and the video sucks.The first time I heard it I actually grabbed my head and whispered “no, no why are you doing this, please stop”. All that female empowerment she build up in the beginning of her career and throughout the 90s is being destroyed by her present image and actions. I first listened to her music (80s and 90s music) when I was 15 and in my punk phase and I found her COOL! Then her later music just went backwards, the cool went away and was replaced by desperate hypocrisy. I only truly love her Confessions album from all her albums in that decade. I like my Madonna sassy and innovative, not like a wannabe teen!
I agree – she started out trite and slightly interesting and when downhill from there. And the cow cannot sing to save her life. She’s a studio-made singer.
Cringe inducing. The only thing missing was a cameo from Rebecca Black. Madge needs to move on from the hootchie cootchie – no one wants to see a 53 year old bust those moves, regardless of what kind of shape she’s in.
I love me some Madonna (mostly late 80’s through Ray of Light), but that song is terrible. A 50 year old doing music of a 20 year old is not good. The music video is cute and I’m assuming the cheerleader/football theme is due to the Superbowl, but the baby toss at the end? Wha?
I really miss her softer, hippy-ish look of the Ray of Light days. The dark, wavy hair, the golden skin, light make-up. She was so beautiful then!
I will be watching to see if she lip synchs (as usual).
And I still want to know why she thinks the busting out of the dress look is supposed to be a good thing. Since when is weird overhanging bodice flesh good?
I take it you haven’t been to a concert of hers to throw out that remark, because she sings live. I’ve been to enough of her shows to know. She might do lip-synching or very heavy backing track on one song or so where there is heavy choreography. Otherwise, live. And her vocals aren’t perfect. If you read this thread, some even said they didn’t like her live because her voice wasn’t that great.
Call me crazy, but I think she looked and sounded great.
Utter crap. She tries so hard to be relevant these days. Another celeb who is trying to hold to their youth. What is so wrong with aging gracefully?
Dumb video…the song was ok until the minaj part – that totally ruined the entire song in my opinion. Why do pop singers need to “feature” rappers in their songs?
Terrible, just terrible
Heard it on the airwaves this morning.
Frankly, I was looking forward to it… but then I said Omgoodness, this song should have been sung by her daughter Lourdes. The imagery is really youthful for an artist in her 50’s. Then the rap from Nicki Minaj..wtf. It just (for me) wasn’t quite right. It had a bit of everything, but not really a modern or dance clubish. It sounded really dated. – Oh well on to the Super Bowl “Lets Go Giants ! “
Eminent suckage.
She even referenced Lucky Star…. She sounds like Madonna… But a Madonna that has gone stale and no real imagination anymore….oh and no talent. I never got what drove millions of girls want to dress like her back in the day. When you build your entire career around sexuality and controversy…. You have to realize at some point when you age, those qualities will eventually fade…. And your left standing there w/ no talent looking like Madonna, trying too hard to stay relevant and have become a caricature of your former self.
I only made it 1:07 into it because I had the sudden urge to bash my head against the desk repeatedly.
To me it looks like she’s trying to be a “sexy” Mrs Robinson – all these HS cheerleaders chanting “luv” for her and the HS football players passing her around in ways I’m sure she’s been passed around before
I have to mention that a 50 some odd year old woman using “luv” in her song in a way that is entirely not ironic just seems downright ridiculous.
Beautiful Stranger, only faster.
I love the video. It’s playful and campy on purpose. I like the song. It’s catchy. But I hope her other songs on the album are of better calibur.
This is the Madonna I loved, at 40 making the Power of Goodbye video. She had chocolate hair, flat cheekbones. I wish she would take out the cheekbones and instead just do a minimal amount of filler and just do her eyelids. That would give her a fresh look but just like herself. The cheeks are better now, but I still liked her before them. Her eyes looked larger without all the puffy cheeks.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsH05U-IDQI
Or at 48, right before she started all the plastic surgery. She looked lovely.
Live = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kJGhKEMtjU&feature=related
I watched the videos you posted and you are so right. She looked lovely in those, how could she have gone so wrong in just a few years? She is painful to look at now and she clearly didn’t have to be.
Lord, that was terrible. The song is bad, but the video is worse.
I’m actively feeling embarrassed for her at this point.
Madonna! Stop referring to yourself as a GIRL!
Just watched it for the 2nd time. She reminds me of my mother at that age when I was a teenager . i.e. some element of hotness there but still my mom. Probably not the effect Madonna was going for. M.I.A. and Nikki look cute though.
Meow, ladies!
It’s okay. I like her hair.
At 50 something the bubble gum teen scene is a bore.
I get why people compare Lady Gaga and Madonna’s sound. The difference? Lady Gaga has a REAL voice. She can sing. Madonna’s voice is awful and weak.
The video is fun and campy. Don’t care for the song and I think Madonna could do much better. It seemed like she was (trying) to channel Bridget Bardot in parts which didn’t really work….What’s with the baby thing?
I’m over these celebrities being so insecure and clinging to youth. Why don’t they get some counseling with all that money they have laying around to learn how to deal with ageing?
I’m not hip (see what I did there) to the ageism in this post, but this sucks. Hasn’t she done the finger point and thrust in her last two videos? She isn’t even trying any more.
There is so much age discrimination in these comments. And sexism. It’s shameful to read.
None of you are commenting constructively about the song/video – just the things you don’t like about with, which is Madonna’s age and appearance.
Why is it not okay for Madonna (53) to create music “at her age”, but okay for Mick Jagger (68) or David Bowie (65)? Why is okay for a man to create music “in their old age” and not a woman?
The music industry is hypocritical. Are all of you saying you’re hypocrites too?
Mick Jagger formed a new band last year at the age of 68. If Madonna did the same, you’d all be screaming at her to retire.
You’re only as young as your inner energy.
Maybe you need to read the comments because over half of the people said the song and video were shit not because she in her 50’s but because it’s that bad.
The other people are saying if this is the crap she going to come out with then she needs to retire, if it was good like Ray Of Light they wouldn’t have a problem with her still singing
Kimlee, Jason R is correct…most of the posts mention her age, that it’s time for her to retire or act her age. I have no problem with the way she looks, dresses or behaves – no need to act like a little old lady just because you’ve reached a certain age and society expects certain things from you.
I like Jason’s quote: you’re only as young as your inner energy….I hope I always act as young as I feel.
Many, many ageist comments on this thread, as usual.
mick has not made a decent song since 1977. he should have retired years ago.
same goes for steven tyler.
there…satisfied.
It seems to me to be either a rip off of or making fun of Gwen Stefani.
That said i think Madonna looks great in the video but the song sucks and it seems the song is about cute pop stars with no talent.. so she falls right in the trap i guess.
Well, that was embarrassing. . .
OMG! Nicky Minaj and Miami International Airport as Harajuku girls, well rapping Harajuku girls. How gangsta of MIA.
I kinda loved Minaj’s bits. And the video is awesome, kinda wants to show-off Lady Gaga but I wonder how long did it take for the airbrushing team to edit that. Madonna looks so sleek here. Anyway, welcome back to music videos, Madonna.
That is just embarrassing. And I’m not talking about video. The SONG is so awful that I want to cry. Madonna gas so much moeny. Why can’t she buy herself a good song that would become hit? My easr can’t even listen to that crap song.
omg, that was awful. just awful. stupid song, really bad choreography. all she did was fall and fall into the arms of the men. What the hell happened to her? why can’t she let her music grow. She is just redoing the same old stuff. And why in the world does she have to put her name in the song. Like, we don;t know who she is?
the only good thing about the video were the rapper girls.
“Every record sounds the same, you gotta step into my world…” perfect lyrics for her.
Her dancing was pretty embarrassing there. I totally agree it looks like she was trying not to fall/break something, and of course they cut away from her so fast each time so there was barely a second to really scrutinize her.
It was a complete re-do of the Material Girl video in many places.
After reading some of the comments, a clip from Tosh.O came to mind of the 100 year old stripper.
Oh the horror!
Mick Jagger also looks ridiculous prancing around like a skeletal horny rooster. I can’t stand to watch him make a fool of himself, either. Age is age, whether it’s a man or a woman. Both of them could still rock – but not in the same extreme as they did in their youth -it’s just a sad fact of pop and rock and roll – so much of it looks better on the young and embarrasingly comical on the aging.
*Says in my Charles Barkley voice* Turrible, just turrible. I’m actually scared at how bad the Super Bowl performance might be now.
Madonna and Demi Moore need to just go away for a long while and figure out how to age gracefully and not make a total mockery out of themselves…and to think I was once a huge fan of both. Sigh.
*shrugs* I thought she looked great. The song is so-so. I think it’s more a promotional video for her Super Bowl performance, thus the football players. I hope I can move like her when I’m her age, without having to do the work, of course!
I used to consider myself a big fan but this song is average, actually it’s quite bad, and the video is just strange. I think she lost her spark, mb the rest of her new album is better. I am sorry to say this but she did become irrelevant , not sure if there are will be any people willing to pay $300 dollars for a ticket after this “advertisement”.
Unfortunately, shes going to be just like Ivanka Trump. An aged, freaky looking old crone that can pay for rent boys to come “visit” with her.
No way she’ll just bow out with dignity and grace. You’d think she’s made enough money.
When has she ever shown a moment of class, depth or intellect? I thought when she had married Ritchie there was some redemption for her but she F**ked that up royally with her rampant ego and domineering tyranical personality.
Shell stick around in the worlds teeth causing pain like the hard piece of gristle she is. I feel sorry for her seemingly forgotten and non existent son rocco. Hope he’s with dad in england who seems to be somewhat more normal than this “girl.” snort.
Oh, Madge. Still trying to stay relevant, with your zombie arms and infant boyfriend.
Woah now, can we just touch on the fact that she throws a toy baby doll thing at the end, that makes a real baby noise..why is she getting a touchdown with a toy doll?
This entire video makes absolutely no sense to me.
THIS ENTIRE VIDEO is a GaGa diss… the baby represents GaGa.. she says that all her songs sound the same and that she needs to step her game up if she wants to stick around.. All of youtube is now buzzing with Monsters vs. Madonna fans
spare me. You give Gaga too much credit, that Madonna would center a video around Gaga. LOL As far as fans against each other, I belong to a pop board and most of Gaga’s fans like the video. Even if they don’t, zero have thought it is a diss against Gaga. More than anything it is Madonna poking fun at herself. The rabid but very small contingent on the internet you are talking about, Gaga fans trying to start a movement for people not to buy Madonna’s album, are teenage nutcases that real Gaga fans don’t want to be a associated with. The same for the nutty Madonna fans on the internet fighting with Gaga fans. Very small, immature group. They are not representative of either artist’s massive fanbase.
In fact, those same rabid Little Monsters have targeted Adele because she is selling far more than Gaga this year and they are pissed. They are targeting Madonna because Gaga has been accused of copying Madonna, so they want Madonna’s album to flop. It is basically teenagers who are beyond immature.
For some reason I’m in quite a generous mood this evening. When I watch music videos…whatever, I try to remain objective even though, like in this one..I knew ahead it was Madonna.
*Kinda embarrassed, but the song is catchy. It kind of lingers in the brain even after it’s over…I get it what others are saying.
*Yes, her singing voice is somewhat annoying, but this song is tailor-made for her warbly voice. This song & her voice are great together.
*LOVED…ABSOLUTELY LOVED Nicki Minaj & M.I.A.’s both WAY TOO SHORT SINGING/RAPPING!!! Again, I would’ve LOVED to hear more of them…but…ahem…Madonna’s overblown ego only gives them very short voice bits…too bad!
*After watching this video, I have to say I kind of envy the bloggers that said they’d already heard this song on the radio. It kinda SUCKS having to tolerate watching Madonna and her uber-ego…the only thing she was ever half-way decent at was selling herself. Everything about her is just SCREAMING “me, me, me, me, ME DAMNIT!!”…that just sucks for someone her age.
Vapid. Just vapid.
Major suckatuge. Fails on every level imaginable. Would work for Britney Spears when she was 15.
I do, however, like the CD cover.
And the cover has zero to do with any talent from madge, it’s the graffic artists that desire the credit for that.
Has this old B!tch not noted the last few years, the Super Bowl half time show, have been “has beens” that were famous in their day? Yet this “old has been” thinks this year’s appearance makes her the absolutely, most desired, revelent and fabulous artist” ever. I am three years older than her, and she’s an embarrassment to all I talk with. My 18 yo g’daughter has told me she and her friends think Madonna is gross.
“After all is said and done, i am still alive! The boots have come and trampled on me but i am still alive” All of you need to realize that she was here before all those artists you are comparing her with. Age to me is just a number and for those who cant look beyond it shows how immature they themselves are. Madonna is an entertainer and she entertains like no other so regardless of how critical you are of her recent effort which is more tongue and cheek then any of you can comprehend, there is much respect due for someone who has inspired generations of wannabes and accomplished more in her 52 years than most commenting on here combined.
The song is horrid. I don’t know what those two young artists are doing in it. Did they want to see the joke up close? I am not looking forward to half time tomorrow. Let’s hope for some good Gisele gossip or something to get us through it.
1. I didn’t think the track was so bad. It’s just a simple, repetitive slice of pop nonsense. Catchy.
2. The video is, in its defence, clearly meant to be tongue in cheek and silly. At least it’s less aggressively “look at my still hot body” than some of her other recent clips. She smiles. She demonstrates, if not a sense of humour, then a desire to be seen by the audience as if she HAD a sense of humour.
3. Nicki Minaj and MIA linking arms, literally as Madonna’s cheerleaders, shouting her name over and over, is kind of embarrassing. “How do I stay relevant? How about getting all the hot young pop stars of today to chant my name as if they worship me? Then maybe I can poach their fans too!” Yeah. It reminded me of that time she got Christina and Britney to dress up like her clones and worship her. Seeing how things have turned out for them, I can’t help wondering if she actually did drain their life force in some pop-candy-vampire way, leaving them confused and vulnerable shells, while Madonna goes on thrusting her fleshless pubic bone at the world.
4. I don’t care that Madonna is doing this at 50-odd. Good for her. Just because there’s always been an age limit on this sort of pop imagery, why should she subscribe to it? If she’s happy with how she looks, if she’s happy never wearing pants, fine. It’s her life, her body. I’m not going to say to another woman that she’s too old or unattractive to do anything. Maybe in this way she really is continuing to break down barriers…
THAT SAID, it is sort of unfortunate that she’s trying to remain eternally teenage in this way. I used to hope – around the time of Evita and then Ray of Light – that Madonna would age well; she’d dress in 1940s styles and start extending her range, dipping back into the dramatic side of her repertoire, actually developing as an artist. She was an alpha female and she could have aged fantastically, showing the world that just because you start out as a teeny pop bimbo, doesn’t mean you have to stay that way before flaming out. I think of a Madonna at 50 or 60, onstage, owning her wrinkled hands and few extra pounds, belting out a dramatic piano cover of Like A Prayer and Frozen, and I wish she’d gone that route.
Instead, she wants her stick-thin arms, squeaky voice, and thrusting pelvis; she wants to be eighteen forever. It’s kind of sad.
Well said, Lenore.
I find it hard to believe high school football players would find Madonna sexy enough to carry her around and take bullets for her. I think she’s trying way too hard to be sexy. She should probably go for a more believable and mature image.
Plus this sounds like a terrible Katy Perry pop song. I also think she sound be going for something more substantial than bubble gum at this point in her career.
I yet to hear the song, I watched the video on silent, being so early in the morning as to not wake the house. With that being said:
This is the first time I’ve seen Madonna so covered up. Yes the outfit is tight and basically pant-less, but she’s really not revealing much of anything. She’s showing without showing. A great wait to make it known she is still fit without flashing the fact that, despite how much she tries to combat it, age is taking over on her.
Her gloves are a prime example. I am one of the many who, years ago, said that she can have as much plastic surgery as she wants, but her hands will always give her age away.
Her hair looks great. Not going to deny her that praise. I especially like it in the scenes where she’s dancing alone in front of a wall.
The video does appear a bit mocking and lighthearted, not to be taken so seriously.
Nicki Minaj and MIA are only there for their current popularity in boosting Madonna’s relevance. This has been a recurrent trend of her’s for years.
This woman is not going to go down without the mother of all fights. Kicking, scratching and clawing her way down that rabbit hole.
Unfortunately, Madonna doesn’t know how to be graceful about anything in her life, aging included.
The video is lighthearted and playful and it is poking fun at herself. The part where the car is broken open for her to walk through just for her so she wouldn’t have to walk around it, etc. I like seeing Madonna playful. The song is very average but catchy. I just hope the album has better songwriting on it than this. She said she also has more reflective music on the album written with William Orbit (Ray of Light). But she has some more fun songs on it with the guy who produced this song, which makes me nervous, as I don’t think Martin Solveig is very talented.
Worst case, I guess I can pare the album down to a nuclueus of great songs.
We getting yout a big Maddona fan and she can do no wrong in your eyes and you love the song and video. You don’t have to go from post to post seating it.
the girl that never grew up….. this is pretty sad. If I heard this on the radio I would have thought it was a Katy Perry or Britney pre-fab pop number. For someone who used to take herself so seriously as an ‘artist’, what happened? And ‘luv’….. ??? lost for words…
Reductive….awesome!
Whatever the musical equivalent of “jump the shark” is, Madonna has done it.
I believe it’s her boyfriend in the stroller…
PERFECT COMMENT 🙂 🙂
Bwaahaahaa! Love it! I still say this song would only be legit on the Disney channel.
i feel like if you talked to madonna she would be on the same intellectual level as a fourteen year old girl. shes a mature woman, she obviously has major input into the development of her videos, WHYYYYY THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS?!?!? she is more than 30 years past it!!! ugh. this woman….gross. and no, not because shes old. because shes a terrible role model, and no graciousness about her AT ALL.
Marilyn Monroe had something Madonna never will, no matter how much money or effort she pours into it:
CLASS and GRACE.
ITA!
It’s like watching Faye Dunaway do the can-can in a French nightclub in all seriousness..
ENVY ENVY…. SHE IS BETTER THANT U r, and EVER WILL
I can envy her money, her health, her figure.
But I will never envy her as a person – shallow, narcissistic, megalomaniac, graceless – just a few of her unattractive qualities that I am not envious of at all.
Not to mention, she can’t sing.
LQTM. What really is there to envy? Maybe the wealth, as Mourning the Death of Music wrote. But money doesn’t buy happiness and all these rich trainwrecks are conclusive proof of that. Nobody regrets not having more money on their deathbed. They regret how badly they’ve treated people when they are dying.
Nope, don’t envy Madonna’s body. Try Sofia Vergara instead. Or Sharon Stone and Christie Brinkley, for women over 50. Madonna has no hip/waist ratio. Except for her breasts, she’s built like a sinewy boy. I’d rather be a little plump but feminine when I’m 50 than masculine hard and gristly.
My relatives who are close to Madonna’s age think she’s pathetic, trying to recapture her lost youth. My neices and nephews in high school think she’s irrelevant and desperate, trying to be hip to teens. They laugh at her fans who think she’s a MILF.
Does anyone envy her singing voice? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Wow, her greed, self-absorption, delusion, and rudeness are so enviable.
Trust me, I am a full fledged fan of plump, shapely women, always have been.
I personally don’t find Madonna’s body attractive, but I won’t deny that she does have a healthy, athletic body and has taken great physical care of herself. So I have to give her fair dues on that.
I don’t care for the song or video, but she looks really, really good.
Wow, if she comes out pushing a baby carriage does she think we’ll buy that she is young mother age instead of menopausal? All the baby images were just repulsive. And the song was just bad. However, Madonna still grabs our attention, no matter if it’s just to mock her. Few stars go over the 100 comment mark on here and Madonna is one of them. That’s good enough for her.
*blink*
What on earth did I just watch?
Madonna is a desperate old chick.
My body hurts from cringing.
Every last thing about this is bad.
When I think about Madonna, I do NOT think about teenage High School romance or cougar on HS football team g-bangs. lol I do not understand why she is doing a cheerleader versed song with her voice tuned out to the point you can’t hear her over the beat. This is trash and I cant believe MIA agreed to be in this bullshi-. Is this mainstream pop used for commercial jingles? I’ll go back to thinking of MIA as a rapper and poet. @.@
You have to hear M.I.A.‘s new song “Bad Girls“!
ahh that’s my jam!
I think when a person male or female becomes a certain age or I say a certain stage in their life they should embrace that. I understand in an industry were beauty and youth are praised and ageing is shunned it’s harder for women to hold on and be taking seriously, but I would have like to see our “Material Girl” take a different route, you can be extremely sexy older but class and the way you present yourself changes as you get older. Holding on to past glory in my opinion is what makes Madonna seem more of a joke these days not the fact that she is over 50.
Finally forced myself to watch this video – first thought, Madonna CANNOT sing to save her soul. Next thought… the entire thing is a study in middle aged self-humiliation. From the wigs to the costumes to the dance moves to the beefcake to the lyrics to the infant to the use of younger, more talented side kicks… every bit of it made me cringe. Please let this be the end of Madge’s quest to convince us she’s still a “girl”. Who can sing.
middle aged? not too many women live to be 106 years old. even the middle years are gone for madonna. i guess it would be a hard pill to swallow.
LOL very valid point Jackie! 😉
This song/video really sounds like a copy of Basil “Mickey and Hollaback Girl.
Basil “Mickey
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4CyNvEfWoE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Gwen Stefani “Hollaback Girl”.
http://www.slack-time.com/music-video-29-Gwen-Stefani-Hollaback-Girl
Mad embarrassing.
And MIA? WTF?
Hers was the best part but I’m sure she has better things to be doing with her time than this garbage.
Nicki Minaj can’t fade into oblivion fast enough for me so I’m glad to see she hitched her “star” to this trainwreck.
So embarrassing for M.I.A. and Minaj….
Their talents are wasted here.
To all of you who are so quick to banish Madonna off to where all post-40 year old women should slink silently and “gracefully” — to forget who they were and cease to offend with the ravages that time has visited upon them, I remind you this: IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. And you will not look even half as good as she does. You think you will feel like a different person. Like an older person. Like someone who is fine with an old lady haircut and taking a backseat to much sillier and less accomplished females. You won’t. You will catch a glimpse of your reflection in a car window and wonder who the he** that is. You will walk into a room feeling like the same person you were 20 years ago and wonder why not one head turns, when you used to have to walk around swinging a stick to fend off the men. IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. Do me a favor and save your posts. Open them back up when you are 50 and let us know how you feel about it then. Let us know how you feel about cracks from younger women (WHO HAVE ONLY THIS IN THEIR FUTURE) about metamucil and broken hips.
Best post I have ever seen on Celebitchy.
Lol I just laught my ass off reading your comment some times fans can be really crazy and do you know the ages of all the posters here to make such a broad statement.
wow! 244 COMMENTS!!!Madonna is still at the top of her game..that’s all
The song is stupid. Madonna looks great. I love Nicki Minaj.
Why all the controversy? It’s just another fluff piece of pop. Ooooh, right, some people are fixated on Madonna’s age. Hey, guess what? None of the pop stars you see in the media actually look as hot/cool/sexy IRL as they look in their videos, etc… They are performers, and they are all pretty much manufactured products. What matters is what they do as entertainers. The question is–are they entertaining or not?
Well, for me, this particular video is not entertaining. For a Madonna piece it is pretty boring. I wish she would get actually controversial again (rather than this stupid controversy over the fact that as an ordinary mortal she has no choice but to get older! Every year! How unclassy of her!).
I bet this will be on the 1/2 time show at superbowl, Come on Madonna enough already. We call them sad ole blisters old broads like her.
ENOUGH with Marilyn already!! Dear god, that is sooo overplayed by everybody at this point! Stop stop stop stop stop!
Same goes for Madge in general. You are old. Deal with it.
i don’t like the song but i would kill to have madonna’s legs
I can’t take this fake, no talent b#@ch anymore. What a frickin no talent narcissist! Why why why do they put her on the super bowl half time? She sucked!!
Can we just discuss the epic level of ridiculousity that is a 50+ year old jumping around in a cheerleader outfit? With gold pom-poms, FFS! (Half-time show – only reason I’m watching is because it’s distracting a nap-less toddler while I fix dinner.)
Even Avril Lavigne is too old to pulling this shit! I just…I can’t.
I dont like the little girl act, she needs to grow up (just like Demi)though I dont know how people would react if Madonna were male. Either way its not nice to call each other names ladies. Lets stick together please.
I’m kind of puzzled with all the hate. This song is not pretending to solve any of the world’s problems, it’s fun, catchy and the video is OBVIOUSLY tied to her Super Bowl appearance. It’s called synergy. Yes, Madonna is 53 years old, so to all those who feel the need to attack her based on her age, I’d love to see you at 53. I’m sure you’ll accomplish as much career wise as she has or done as much philanthropy or activism for social causes. She deserves a modicum of respect based on her longevity alone. Ignore the haters Madonna. You are singular in your place in popular culture.
FINALLY someone sounds like an adult on here! Screw all you damn teenagers or twenty somethings who dress like sluts and then want to post clever and biting comments about a woman, who has accomplished more than any of you ever will, and has fulfilled her dream which none of you ever will. She has grown into a nicer, less selfish and fun person. Why don’t you check the facts on that too you little brats. She is a living legend that continues to be part of the world’s consciousness. You and your lame posts can do nothing to stop that. In fact you’re talking about her 28 years after she released her first song, and that right there says it all. Plain and simple! Go watch a dumb Twilight movie and scream really loud, like oh my God girlfriends…
Horrible, Horrible, Horrible. Did a 11 year old write this song or did the writer just lose their mind? Rather ODD for a woman who is middle aged to be singing like a little child. Clearly they had to auto tuned her voice and have every effect known to God on her vocals with also being EQ’d to the max to make her sound like some child. Seriously the worse sound and song I have ever heard in my whole life, seriously time for her to get out of the music business, Horrible.
I think she look pretty in the face but she looked like she was bout break she getting type old but I hope I looks like tht when am a senior citizen. N m.i.a is ugly maddona Bader then her she needs to go m.i.a again she trying to get her 15 min back …team Nicki minaj <3 even thou she a hoie
It’s been down hill all the way for Madonna since Get Into The Grove. Time she called it quits and hung up her ridiculous outfits.
Madonna and those beautiful songs! I love all the songs.
