Flip The Switch Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I think the ROL video is a billion times better than the GI2M video. If that makes me a ROLer, so be it. That video is a masterpiece, of course.
madonna_fan1988 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I think the ROL video is a billion times better than the GI2M video. If that makes me a ROLer, so be it. Are we seriously comparing a 5 times VMA award winning video/1 time Grammy award winning video with Give It 2 Me? Ray Of Light is probably my fav Madonna video!
VogueMusic Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Why does it need to be compared to anything...particularly something as different as ROL? Two completely different songs, messages, tones, visuals, etc... both have their place.
Music Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 GI2M is one of my favourite too ! I hope she'll perform it again, it seems to me that the best live version is yet to come. She must make a classic M song of it.
Lucky Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 GI2M is one of my favorite videos and singles from Madonna's later work. It always gets me going!
ryan Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Ray of Light video is so overrated.Couldn't agree more
tasteinmen Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 GI2M was very present in the UK when it was released, and it's the most recent Madonna song that I still hear in R&B clubs.
frzndrwnwrld Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I don't get all the dislike for the ROL video. I remember watching the premiere on MTV. My jaw hit the floor. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Flip The Switch Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Are we seriously comparing a 5 times VMA award winning video/1 time Grammy award winning video with Give It 2 Me? Ray Of Light is probably my fav Madonna video! Same here. It looks like the video was created during the recording process of the song. Too perfect.
Kurt420 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I love the ROL video but not EVERYTHING has to be that. Although when you really break it down.......ROL Madonna is dancing in front of a blue backdrop and in GI2M she's dancing in front of a white backdrop. The speedy effects were cool in 1998, but ROL vid is just a tad overrated. There are SO many other Madonna videos that deserved all those awards......even Frozen was more deserving.
Crystal Coffin Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 NO NO NO. "Ray of Light" IS the best video from that era and it rightfully deserved them awards
acko Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 ROL had fantastic imagery with hard nipples! In fact it's fantastic & it was a bit of a departure for her!
acko Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 Um hello!? is this video not on youtube!?!? I just felt like watching it, but can't find it...
Guest bluejean Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Frozen video forever!!And no I don't think it's on YouTube. There was a thread about something like that awhile back.
karbatal Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 The thing i like about GITM video is that is pure Madonna dancing, and i love it when she dances. Love the moves and how incredible she looks. The thing i don't like about GITM video is that it could have been much better, the song is so great, and any other stupid wannabe out there has better videos and this one had so little budget...

I find it so odd that after Hard Candy did so well and the ridiculous success of 4 Minutes, that there wasn't more of a push from the label to promote. Or maybe she just refused. GI2M and Miles Away both have such shitty videos that had no budget, who took the money away? Well I say shitty but I adore the Give it to me video, she looks incredible, it's fun, it fits the song

ruey Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 It really could have charted higher in the UK, It's a fantastic song! Hands down my favourite off Hard Candy. I sometimes wish that HC had sounded like GI2ME throughout.
jonski43 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 NO NO NO. "Ray of Light" IS the best video from that era and it rightfully deserved them awards Good grief no! Nothing Really Matters is the best from that era and one of her all time best! RoL is meh and not even original in its concept.

Soma Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Well there's no use in debating the unfortunate destiny of her second single releases in the u.s. But I'm always under the impression people consider it 2 be somewhat of a flop...whereas in my euro-universe the song was EVERYWHERE...u know those damn hit records u hear when u go grocery shopping & the ones that are even used in tv programs as a score 4 quirky segments in make over shows and the lot... Austria #10 Belgium #3 Canada #8 Denmark #4 Holland #1 Finland #2 Germany #8 France #5 Italy #3 Hungary #1 Poland #4 Spain #1 Switzerland #4 Turkey #1 UK #7 EUROPEAN HOT 100 #2 And my mom really likes it... so there I don't like Pharrell so this gif is everything to me!! Work Bitch!! Yeah I remember GI2M playing on the radios..but then again, Finnish radio stations have always loved Madge. Good song.
5iVe Elements Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Back then, ROL video was evetything - very impressive. Now, it looks kinda cheap and has not aged well
Crystal Coffin Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Back then, ROL video was evetything - very impressive. Now, it looks kinda cheap and has not aged well NO. It is still the best video from that era!
Flip The Switch Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 NO. It is still the best video from that era! True. Fits so well with the song.
Narendra Sen Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Here, on the radio, GI2M is played more often than 4M. Hell, even Celebration ( ) is played more often than 4M. Her second singles seem to be better received in Europe. In a fairer world, GI2M and GGW would be huge worldwide hits.
