I fear so much for her sometimes but I understand and see why she is so fearless...someone has to be. That said, I hope the tour is fucking secured. I always am nervous when she's on a stage...the crazies with guns are crazy. You're right.

This is a song about gun control and the video also depicts that but I worry people will say it's in poor taste. It happens in real life, i.e. Bataclan, Orlando, so that's why people need to put their brains to use. Their "poor taste" retaliation is just as harmful as a rat's fart.
Michael. Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Just now, Ai Papi Si. said: Uh, I hope not. That would be really stupid. She's already got it in a nightclub, I think that's all the reference the video needs. No, that’s what I kind of mean. I think people will automatically link it to Pulse because of the disco sound and drag queens but I don’t think her intention is to be that specific about one incident.
karbatal Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 It looks very dramatic and disturbing and Orlando and Bataclan come to mind. Madame X is really going to the jugular here! A much needed message.
jjbradleynyc Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 To ya'll talking about "what backlash will this create?" well, plenty. I mean that's what Madonna does. All the way from Like a Virgin (song, video, MTV performance, to Papa Don't Preach video, to Like a Prayer (video, pepsi and pope backlash), Justify My Love video being pulled, Erotica and Sex book *shock*, the Evita naysayers, Human Nature backlash, American Life shade and backlash, and many more. Madonna does this well. She's not only a master self marketer, but a genius at music creation, production and creating topics that create trends/people to follow her.
Showdown Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 A blacklash back then would be no biggie...a blacklash now? Look at how there was someone mailing fucking bombs! Hope she doesnt take any threat lightly after this video. The world is ugly and people are just going crazier and crazier.
Guest juliebean Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 remember this? it's from the video i believe.

side_streets Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 She will never bend the knee. She should be allowed to speak if she feels the need to say something.
boy skeffington Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 The onslaught of outrage will come and she knows it. I support her 100%. She's an incredible artist and role model.

XXL Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 44 minutes ago, Rebel Saviour said: OMG! She's paying homage to Raffaella Carrà Can't wait! The video looks epic and highly controversial! Making a great point here when guesting on Letterman in 1986, she pointed out that he should compare her to a female and not say she's the Italian Johnny Carson or Ed Sullivan, in fact she adds "I'm just me, no need to compare to anyone period".
Jairo Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Lol @ people complaining about a violent video. Song is called God Control and talks about gun regulations. What did you expect? The Teletubbies and Spongebob Squarepants talking about guns? Jesus...
kubi Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 This is going to cause a lot of controversy but she knows that and is doing it to convey a message

stevo208 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I'm ready. She's going to get dragged to hell for this but she gives no fucks and she is the bravest star that ever lived. DO IT. Isn't this why we all love her? Got saying the things no one else would dare to? Never safe. Always a renegade. Our Queen.
Camacho Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Bring on the backlash! She knows what she’s doing and she is ready for it. For many months on IG she hinted about taking huge risks, speaking out, and getting denounced. I can’t wait for this video!
Crux Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Can't wait. Looks like it's going to be very controversial.

Amazing!

I've read some with concern of backlash, but for the most part people are very open to what this video is possibly about.
insilico Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 OMG this is like living in a dream for the past 2 months, she is unstoppable
Dr Lecter Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Well it’s got a large lgbtq representation in the video so they were clearly ok with it . It’s a message. Those who get outraged will be the Christian gun nuts
Drowned World Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 This is exciting news, but have to say I'm nervous about it, this won't be a typical hands in the air feelgood disco video, it's going to have a dark message, but one that's necessary.
infierno Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Can’t wait for her to call out the Pro-gun folks who are angered by her depiction of guns in a music video. The double standard is real.
XXL Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 41 minutes ago, Nonoka said: Wow, this is giving me D&D vibes but obviously it will have a whole other spin on it. Her styling is drop dead gorgeous, and already judging by these clips, one of her best ever in this decade. As for the ending - well, looks like she's opening Pandora's box with this vid anyway so yeah, I hope she will just go all out with this topic. Bring on the shock value! (And yeah now it's clear why they didn't use this for the album launch) Spot on! Bring God Control on Madame X
