  1. I suppose this is how Mert and Marcus got the news they are directing M's new single:

    Madonna: Mert and Marcus, do you want to direct my new video?

    Mert and Marcus: But we have never directed a music video.

    Madonna: Thats why I chose you: you are unexprecienced, so you ll cost me the least. Do you know how much Romanek or Fincher want???

    Mert and Marcus: Ok, we have great ideas for this amazing video. You come from the sky like the godess Isis and thousands of women praying at you near Nile. Then you fly in the sky, then you separate the Nile and lots of other special effects.

    Madonna: Uou, thats great guys, I hope you ll be able to make it amazing on our tight budget: 200 $.

    Mert and Marcus: Well then we ll have you dancing as Isis in front of a white wall. Do you have spare white wall in your house?

    Madonna: Of course.

    Mert and Marcus: Ok, so we ll call Jean Paul Gaultier to ask him if he could donate for us an Isis dress.

    Madonna: Of course he will donate it. But guys when will you come to shoot?

    Mert and Marcus: We ll be able in Thursday.

    Madonna: Ok. I ll be free in Thursday morning from 9 a.m till 9.15 a.m.

    Mert and Marcus: Cool. So then we ll collect our 200 $, right?

    Madonna: So you ll take them, eventhough its a great opportunity for you, I mean your first video would be for me.

    Mert and Marcus: Well we have to pay the lighting guy at least.

    Madonna: Ah, ok. See you in Thurdsay.

  2. I dont understand the comparison to Amazing or Beautiful Stranger. Both were strong, clever, adult songs. GMAYL is better than 4 minutes deffinately, but its really childish... I love certain parts in it (Dont play that stupid game...), but I hate others (I see you coming...) and I understand why it failed. The people wanted Frozen, Hung Up heck even Music, but we got GMAYL thats just not strong enough... I cant understand how you go from an album filled with amazing songs (COADF minus Push) to this being your lead single. HU, Sorry, GT, Jump are all stronger than GMAYL.

  3. Revolver was amazing :) I cant understand why it flopped: oh yeah it didnt have a video. Its a cool song, I love it.

    AL was a horrible, devoit of any melody track and no surpise it flopped. It was garbage.

    GMAYL is too childish, it has strong moments (Dont play the stupid game ...), but also very dull and uninspired moments (I see you coming and I dont know your name ...), the chanting is so Hanna Montana... As a whole it just isnt strong enough... Its like the childish poorer cousin of Music, but unlike Music it came after the not so well received HC (which wasnt a bad album, but the single choices and the videos killed it).

  4. 4 minutes is one of the worst songs of Madonna, not just one of her worst singles. Why it did great in Europe? Because it came out AFTER Confessions! The same thing happened to Music, which again would never have been the monster hit it was if it wasnt for the fact it followed ROL. After 4 minutes (a horrible song), Madonna had poor choices for singles from HC, instead of releasing the greatest songs there: TBGO and Devil she opted for the repetative GITM and MA, which charted horrible in the UK, because they are not great songs like HU, Sorry, Jump, Get Together. After that: Celebration and Revolver... The reason why GAYL is bombing is because it comes out after singles that left bad taste in your mouth. Then she is away 4 years... Instead of focusing on her music, she comes back with one of the weakest singles in her career... Well GMAYL is better than AL or 4 minutes, actually much better, but it still is a weak bubblegum song that fails to impress anyone. Its no surprise its bombing in UK. The song is obviously very weak since it is bombing in every loyal market of hers internationally (minus Canada I guess).

  5. That would be great! because in GMAYL there was just a bunch of walking :lmao: the wall shots are grand though :dramatic:

    I would love to see Madonna just go all out and dance dance dance for a change. Hopefully the choreographer gives her something good.

    Dance, dance, dance? Her worst videos are actually dance dance dance: Celebration, Give It To Me,Get Together, Jump etc... GMAYL at least had concept and there were money put into it. I hope we see cheeky, expensive concept videos not M/dancers dancing in front of a white screen.

  6. You are wrong, 4 Minutes and Give it 2 Me were big hits in many EU countries and even Miles Away was a huge airplay hit in Germany.

    And GMAYL is going great in Finland, Sweden, France, Spain, Portugal and Italy!

    it still cant compare to coadf - everything was a hit-hung up, sorry, gt, jump.

  7. i wonder how madonna fans will feel about martin solvgieg when all is settled. will he be Beloved like Mirawais and Orbit or hated like timbaland?

    neither I believe. He is not bad himself, his Smash album is not bad, but GMAYL still sounds weak compared to her other lead singles. For this reason only I think he wont be as loved as Mirwais (not my favourite producer) or Orbit or Stuart. I dont think he ll be disliked on the same scale Timberland was, because most thought he fucked up with his productions amazing songs like Devil Wouldnt Even Recognize You. I believe Solveig would be among her more loved collaborators because I believe they ve done songs that are much better than GMAYL.
