@VogueMusic This video deserves all the accolades it has been getting. To highlight the video's message, Madonna the Celebrity prudently takes a backseat to Madonna the Artist and Activist.

good to know that. still, medellin is superior to 4m. the snub, nonetheless, doesn't invalidate the brilliant quality of her MX music videos. she remains the greatest product and practitioner of the art form.

i was expecting a latin video nom for M + M. but MTV has always pandered to the "youth" market so i'm not incensed at all. i think her last nomination was for HU. not sure whether 4M even got any nomination.

these are legit fine videos. 1. dark ballet 2. medellin 3. batuka 4. GC 5. crave the unmentionable one is ruined by that shrieking entity.

Good, shine more light on the batukadeiras! And hoping against hope for one more video before the tour.

issa bop!

Wishing Julie all the best. Can relate to both of you, @zephyralexxx. My papa passed away on the day "Ghostown" was released. I'm still dealing with it but I'm ok now. Haven't bought the RH cd nor streamed it on spotify. But nearly a year after his death, I saw the RH concert. And Madonna for the first time since stanning her in 1984. Somehow, her magnificence took away some of the pain. MX, on the other hand, I stream daily. Such a piece of art.

much appreciated!

same here!

And she's given a free pass to give critical comments on a video when (a) there was ample warning about its graphic content, (b) madonna and her team have been in touch with several orgs, and (c) when did madonna ever say that the pulse incident was the direct inspiration for the video? any reaction to her reaction is no way less valid!

Same here!

The video is indeed disturbing and petrifying, especially if one has just woken up. It's more than an art piece or a cautionary tale. It's a public service message.

And in "die another day" video

So, are you suggesting that she shelve the single and video release of GC? Or have a watered down video a la AL? I believe this was already shot months ago.

This oughta be the single cover.
