george28 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 A proper video was shot for it? I think it would. Not to bad mouth the anime video or anything, but I feel like it hard strong potential to become another major hit from COADF if an actual video was made....
Skin Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I am surprised Jump wasn't a massive global hit....Or at least from what I recall it wasn't that huge. Fully expected it to shoot to the top of the united world charts like Sorry did following Hung Up. Was it big in certain areas though?
Seraphim Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Maybe, I mean I've never watched the entire mv before and it's one of my favorite songs ever. Thank God for the live performances
KalamazooJay Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I've always thought it should've been the second single as it felt like the true follow up to Hung Up. It felt like a new version of Holiday. I think it could've resonated with the GP had it been promoted and pushed properly.
Guest Rocco Papa Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I actually really like the Get Together video. Not the one on the Celebration DVD, the other one. I really like the colors and I actually think it compliments the song really well.
ryan Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 No. If you're referring to the US, no. The USA wasn't interested in dance music from a woman in her 40's. WBR made the mistake of not promoting her to AC radio, which would have been her best shot. They did end up doing that, but only for the last single. I don't really think a "proper" music video would have been made a difference. In the end, it's only the fans who label it as "not a proper music video." The general public tbh had no knowledge that the footage came from a live gig.
boy skeffington Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 At that point in her career, third singles were not going to get airplay or support from radio or even MTV in the US. Hung Up was huge in the US but not on US radio. All of Confessions was a smashing success considering she was mid to late 40s.
nick00 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Really thought at the time it was going to be a bigger smash. It did need a higher budget video just because the song is so good.
Roland Barthes Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I agree with everybody who say that it should have been the second single. I like the animated video for it better than the Jamie King horrible video for "Sorry".
Creepy Insane Person Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 The U.S. unfortunately seem to have a love hate relationship with Madonna and haven't seem to care about her since 2003 (even during Confessions when it was very well re levels everywhere else in the world). I've never seen a country so disinterested in Madonna unlike other nations that have continued to support her right up until GI2M. Get Together having a 'proper' video wouldn't have made a difference really and it's a real big shame the American public were not interested it in.
Icykiller Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 It should've been 2nd single. Sorry killed the momentum. I love it though, but maybe keeping it as a UK/Europe only single would have been good.
GOD Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I have a friend who is not a madonna fan telling me how much he loved the GT video. Pointing out the artistic values behind it. So i dont think the video is at fault here.
acko Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Back then i was working in a record store & I can tell you that song sold albums...
frzndrwnwrld Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 It should've been 2nd single. Sorry killed the momentum. I love it though, but maybe keeping it as a UK/Europe only single would have been good. I agree with that. I heard Warner suggested that Sorry be the 2nd single because it got the most positive feedback at the listening party, allegedly. And Madonna was like, ok. Which is weird. It wasn't even performed during the promo shows and she did GT on Star Academy. I think it was definitely a favorite of hers. Sorry is actually one of my least favs on the album and I remember being surprised at the time that it was chosen for a single.
nightcutter Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I think Sorry is stronger than Get Together. I think Jump is stronger than Get Together. IMO Jump would have made the better third single. In the UK GT's success was hampered by releasing it five months after Sorry. My single choices for coadf: HU S J GT Forbidden Love.
acko Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I have a soft spot for the the Ivor Novello Songwriting Award Winner and UK #1 smash 'Sorry'.
promise to try Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 A proper video was shot for it? I think it would. Not to bad mouth the anime video or anything, but I feel like it hard strong potential to become another major hit from COADF if an actual video was made.... GT was performed by her in some tv shows,right? I think it helped sell the album during 2005´s christmas time.When they finallt released it, most of madonna´s target already knew the song, so I don´t think the video was a problem
Guest Medoner Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 It was a pretty huge hit back here i remember hearing it on radio and tv all the time
karbatal Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Get Together would have been massive if they had invested money to play it allove the world. Full stop. Since 2003, Madonna needed big amounts of money to make second singles work. Now she needs big amounts of money to make a first single work.
Nikki Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I've just started appreciating how amazing that song is. it's in my top 10 now.
Guest CJM Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 It's in my top 3 Madonna songs ever! It's beautiful. This song was what caught my eye and turned me into a real Madonna fan. It kept being played on all the music video channels and I fell in love with the song. I started to pay attention to the other Confessions singles. Then I downloaded the album and eventually bought the Confessions Tour DVD. After that came everything else! It should have been the second single. It should have had a proper video. Maybe it wouldn't have done well in the U.S. but I think it would have been HUGE everywhere else, especially with promo and a push and of course an amazing video for an amazing song!
jacket Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 It did not get me at first, but now it's in my top 5, no doubt. I think it's one of those songs that with the proper radio support becomes big in an unintrusive way and has a real shot at being a classic with the GP as opposed to simply a passing novelty. Slotted as a third single it was never given that chance.
george28 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 It is an ultimate Madonna song. I remember first hearing it and even the bell at the beginning got me all excited, lol. Sorry did her well, though I have had a love/hate relationship with that song for years now, going from singing and dancing to it, to other times skipping it whenever I have my Madonna playlist on shuffle. It did her justice though, I remember the video being played frequently on TV and to this day you can still catch it on the radio every now and then
Guest eroticerotic Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I feel that every single from an album should get a "first single" treatment. I think this will give third and fourth and fifth singles a better chance at being recognized.
runa Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I think GT was way too much "dance music" at that time, for the USA. A better video would not have changed this. Having said that, I can say GT is my fave song on COAD and this song is in my top 10 Madonna song.
HolidayGuy Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 GT is a great track, but a proper video would not have boosted its fortunes (in the USA, anyhow).
Barbie Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Well we can sit here and debate all day whether a proper video would have pushed it further or not......HOWEVER. Did it deserve a proper video? YES. One of her greatest songs ever? YES. Such a missed opportunity.
Guest Pud Whacker Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 A proper video was shot for it? I think it would. Not to bad mouth the anime video or anything, but I feel like it hard strong potential to become another major hit from COADF if an actual video was made.... One of my all time favorite madona songs. But I say no. Not everyone is like us. She's been in the business for a million years Don't forget she MADE Hung Up a hit by performing it around the world for like a year!!!
