Madonna - Give It 2 Me (Video)


Whoop! Madonna's new video for 'Give It 2 Me' has found its way to YouTube. (Holy cow, it was deleted while I was typing this post up! That was quick.) Here's a so-so quality mp4 (it'll look fine on an iPod, though!) for your enjoyment. :) Let me know if it gets deleted - I'll re-up it if it does!

Madonna - Give It 2 Me (Video)My thoughts:
  • Madge looks fab (she's been looking lovely lately - check her out at an amfAR event and at Cannes!) as she wiggles and gyrates through the video.
  • The beginning moments of the vid rather obviously echo the dance studio set of 'Hung Up.'
  • Pharrell pops up every so often and at first seems to just come out of nowhere but soon it all gels.
  • The amusing yet catchy 'get stupid' bit in the song is given a fair visual representation with quick edits and expressive poses from Madonna.
  • I was hoping the video would have more energy - and maybe feature Madonna doing more than pose and such - but the editing and effects give it some movement.
All in all, it's a bit of a dull video. It's good, but not great. I suppose M blew the budget on '4 Minutes'! But it's OK, Madonna. We still love you! :)

Cheery bye, Scarlett
