GimmeSomeMo Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I love the part where she simply struts her stuff down the street. I love the part where she sticks her clunge in the camera and thrusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapple Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I love how everyone applauds her for shoving her crotch in our faces in the HU video yet less than 2 1/2 years later everyone rips her to shreds for shoving her crotch in our face with the Hard Candy cover.

GimmeSomeMo Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I could TRY and explain to you the humour and irony that sets the two CROTCH SHOTS eons apart but it would just be useless, wouldn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(for me personally) the difference is that the crotch in the Hung Up video is part of the "choreography" and the Hard Candy cover is just a still picture glaring out from the record store racks in motion > still photography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip The Switch Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 everything about this era was wonderful. She looked amazing, the video was ok for the awesomeness of the song. I was expecting a hardcore choreography but I got the meaning and story of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Not4Pussies Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 the whole thing leading to the song leaking was just all planned very well. there was excitement. anticipation unlike her last album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 ¡Great thread!!!!! I love the vid too. It's not a good video in terms of vids themselves, but it's soooo effective. And I love her movements, her body, her attitude and at the end, when she's dancing like crazy in that bar and she is pure nerve and we latter discovered that she was in great pain because of the ribs and the elbow. And she fought to give her best. PERFECT MADONNA!!! I loved the promo too. That EMA Awards were simply GREAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have nothing to do. Why do you compare those both? Specially you that seem to hate that people critisize HC, and then you bring this in this thread. What for, so people pour shit on HC and you can defend Madonna??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijah Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Great singles, great album, great tour!!! 2005-2006 was one of those moments where u feels its one of the highlights of her career. But HU video is still not an amazing video (for her standards). I ve said it before: it was the videos in COADF era that prefent it from being her best era on every level. But the music was soooooooo gooooooooooooood. Amazing magnificent album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeSomeMo Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 in other words, you can't Well I can see why you would think that and also why you wouldnt catch the irony but no actually. It's simply a case of Madonna being in on the joke instead of the butt of it. She's making fun of the maneater persona instead of actually BEING it like in the Hard Candy incarnation. It's in everything. The way she carries herself, the entrance, the whole 70s pastiche of the video. Everyone picked up on it and thats why the desperate cougar jokes didnt start until after Hard Candy. Although I'm sure explaining such subtleties to someone who thinks HAHA YOU PRETEND TO KNOW BUT YOU DONT or randomly dropping Britney's name is some scathing attack is the same as trying to explain relativity theory to an amoeba.

Guest Coked Up Baby Boy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The HU video isn't in my top 10 or anything, but i like it. She looks great and i like the transition from dance studio to street to subway to club. It's nicely done. I remember the song and video hitting TV back then. it was EVERYWHERE and people were in awe of her beauty. Was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Hard Candy really isn't very good as an album cover is it? (and I love the contents). That sort of shyt works better on the stage or on a video.

Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Great video! She simply looked stunning in every shot! I have to say my fave part was when she was walking down the street in her leather hooded jacket!! SHE bought those jackets IN! They were everywhere from Topman to New Look GEORGE!! Great vid, never tire of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they started because of Alex Rodriguez and Jesus, not because of the album cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 A year back a TV music station here was doing Top 10 countdowns of class hits of certain years and Madonna topped 2005 with Hung Up. Me and 2 of my mates were left in this classroom over lunch time with everyones stuff (we were, on the surface, good lil kids) and so the teachers laptop was left on and we downloaded HU and danced around the classroom with it, best high school memory hands down!

That sort of shyt works better on the stage or on a video. I never said it was a great cover. I just simply stated that she went from being applauded for flashing her cunt all over the place in HU to being a disgusting,embarrassing,pathetic whore 2 years later for an album cover.

Guest SuperPop Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 One of her grestest moments of the last 10 years... I would say easily her greatest moment (songwise & iconic video) of the last decade! Perfect in every single level I still believe that the EMA opening that year is her best ever award opening..

Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 What a great video! When it was on, I danced along in front of the tv. I hadn't done that since the Spice Girls mania in 1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drowned Bedtime Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Saw the UK premiere of it when it came on Channel 4 at like 9pm. I loved it. My favourite bit (still) is the bit with the rapid cuts in the club, when she's going "slowlysoslowlysoslowlyso" and she's thrusting above the boombox. *faints* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
