Rat Boy 41,752 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Madonna’s ‘Living For Love’ Video is her Best Work in a Decade. Madonna dropped off the music video for “Living for Love†on Snapchat’s doorstep yesterday, and at The Huffington Post are crazy about this video! Read their review about Living For Love video. The clip finds Madonna playing matador to a host of men dressed as bulls in a red arena that glitters like a Latin-infused “Moulin Rouge!†Its imagery matches the anthemic heft for which many applauded the track when it hit iTunes in December. For a song that carries the torch of “Express Yourself,†the singer dons a leotard reminiscent of 2005’s iconic “Hung Up†and emerges victorious amid an army that stands no chance against a warrior who “picked up my crown [and] put it back on my head† a sentiment especially potent in the wake of the multiple leaks that have plagued her new music. This is Madonna’s theater, after all. Football players fawned over her in “Give Me All Your Luvin'†and she gyrated her way through a callback to the provocateur years in the black-and-white “Girl Gone Wild,†sleek videos whose self-referential undertones did not double as suitable extensions of Madonna’s legacy. Here, no matter the aforementioned comparisons to her 33-year career, she channels the new breakup anthem for something else: Madonna presents herself as queen of the big top without relying on allusions to her own résumé to prove she is the master of the postmodern pop scene. She uses her ongoing prowess to vanquish the beasts who grunt and shove their way across her stage. This is the Madonna video we’ve waited a decade for, and it hails from what sounds like the makings of the Madonna album we’ve anticipated for just as long. As of now, you’ll have to head to Snapchat’s Discover page to watch the “Living for Love†clip, which was directed by French duo Julien Choquart and Camille Hirigoyen, otherwise known as J.A.C.K., and edited by Danny B. Tull, who worked on “4 Minutes†and several other Madonna videos. HuffPost Entertainment will embed the video here as soon as it appears online. “Madonna kicks everyone’s ass in her new music video. It’s pop perfection.†Queerty.com are enthusiastic about Madonna‘s Living For Love video! Check out their review: OK, we take back every negative thing we’ve ever said about Madonna in recent years. We’ll admit, we were underwhelmed by her last two albums. Neither felt very inspired or innovative for the woman who was supposed to be the reigning Queen of Pop. But the music monarch just released the music video for “Living For Love,†the first single from her upcoming Rebel Heart album and one thing is very, very clear: The queen is back. With a vengeance. And, no, she doesn’t need anyone’s help in reclaiming her throne. Unlike the lead singles off her last two albums (“Four Minutes†featuring Justin Timberlake, and “Gimme All Your Luvin’†featuring Nicki Minaj and MIA), “Living For Love†features just Madonna doing what she does best: kicking ass and taking names. Literally. Our Lady M harkens back to her days as a Spanish matador, dressed in a scarlet red bullfighting uniform and beating the **** out of her hot male dancers wearing Maleficent-inspired horns on their heads. Seriously, there’s nothing we don’t love about this video. The music. The lyrics. The dancing. The costumes. It’s pure pop perfection. Check out the fierceness above. And get ready, boys, because we have a feeling this is only the beginning of a long-awaited Madonna renaissance. http://drownedmadonna.com/queerty-com-madonna-kicks-everyones-ass-new-music-video-pop-perfection/20150207 She's back!

destinyofself 1,006 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Funny how we can all see it differently. Bulls were used in a real context with the guy in Take a Bow. Big deal. it has nothing to do with this video. I see this video as very artistic and filled with methaphors for heartbreak and being used for their own personal gain and yet coming out triumphant.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 You can go get a million mash-ups. It proves nothing. EY and BTW had reputable music sites all over the place talking immediately about the similarities. It wasn't fan made up bull. Not one "music site" notices any similarity in Applause and Livin' for Love, because there is none. This makes you look foolish, trying to look for something. There's tons of mashup songs blended in a way to be enjoyable. I love going on and discovering mash-ups and never once did I think they were made because one was a copy or lifting of. The majority aren't made to say they are rip-offs or similar. It's creative fans who love music and artists and do something cool. It's sad to see how low people go. All I get from Livin' for Love is a feeling of Like a Prayer in spirit. You give Gaga fans a bad name by looking so petty and desperate, which thankfully most aren't.. And I still don't care. I love BTW. It gets people to their websites. The biggest names in the industry supposedly at odds with each other. LOL You are still perpetuating the EY and BTW thing. All I said was the whole thing was blown out of proportion and it was silliness. The fact that that bothered you is weird. I don't like Living for Love. I don't like the video. Those are my opinions. I think the EY/BTW thing was blown out of port portion by raging Madonna fans, that is also my opinion. I didn't say Madonna's past work wasn't great. It certainly is great. Great enough for me to see her in concert three times. I just don't like what she is giving me now and the MDNA era and the Hard Candy era.

Robinladen 1,523 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It looks pretty, but a bit too boring to rewatch a lot. And the font they used for the Nietzche quote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
