This is the thing...if you like the song for what it is then you will probably like the video as it fits the song, if you don't then the same applies!
As for the arguments, just stop as we all know certain fans will like it no matter and certain fans of other artist will hate it no matter and then a few will be rational and judge objectively. Think that covers it!

The "Living For Love" video was cool, well-shot, but this era's gem video- and single- is "Ghosttown." Exactly, which is why the big push of the album should have been behind "Ghosttown" but instead the day after the well received video was released Madonna went on a high profile TV program (Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon) and performed "BIM" essentially ending all "Ghosttown" promo. People on this board felt this was the best move but I disagreed...it was way too soon to move on from "Ghosttown". They should have milked that single for all its worth instead of rushing "BIM" out in the messy way that it has been rolled out.

This actually got some interest unlike Ghosttown. They were right to act on it and do something.

I like the video. It's a bit messy and over the top, but the song kind of is too with the loose Diplo production. It goes well with the song. It's good cheeky fun. The Beyonce, Chris Rock, Kanye, Katy, and Rita cameos are a bit random, but why not? Diplo popping up here and there was apropos. Nicki appearing on a TV screen was a little odd too, but perhaps it wasn't possible to get her to film it together (she is super busy). It could have been filmed in a way that it could have been cohesively digitally added to the other scenes so it would look like she was really there. I like Madonna's look in the video. She looks like she was genuinely enjoying herself. The part with the little girls was so cute at the beginning as was that short part with the sock puppets, lol. That stripper cop was sexy sexy.
Is the video one of her best? No. Was it intended to be? No. Does it work for the song? Yes. Even if people are talking about it because of how ridiculous and extra it is, they're hearing the song one way or another and it gets it out there.
I am hoping that "Devil Pray" is the next single if they are going back to the 'Heart' side. If not, "Holy Water" be fine. I want an epic video for that. Steven Klein would have to do it. On second thoughts, he could direct a fabulous video for "Devil Pray" too.

Way cool video. What, you guys have a problem with it because thereβs no unicorns, butterflies n corn chips? like, really??? You had no problem with that ultra lame video!!!! But. you're gonna sh*t on The Queen? Get the f*uck out!! If my post doesn't apply to you, don't respond! Ain't none of my business but it's tea tho. I can't allow this board to slip to this kinda of stanning and attacking people who are just posting their opinions. Just cause you stan for the singer this topic relates to does NOT give you final say or any rights to talk people like this. You will have to respect differing opinions in everyday life so get use to it on a online forum. Unacceptable. #CocoInfinityLifeLesson101 Reported.

Why are people so up in Roar about a fun song with a crazy Video. Its High energy but the mean hateful comments on twitter seemed very uncalled for.

Time to start requesting on the radio guys. First on the big ones with a simple text.They react fast just like they did with the first two RH singles.
First target should b Z100 in NYC (text to 55100) Y100 in Miami (text to 77100) Kiis 102.7 in LA ( text to 41027)

Even if they could only be in it for half a second, it would've still looked better if they were on set (e.g. Rita). Or even the TV screens like Nicki

This video has replay value though. So much is going on that the more you watch it you notice more things.

To me it's like Madonna is Queen and they are just paying respect to her for paving the way for women in music. Each one of them has a little bit of Madonna in them. In my head it makes sense, I'm not sure it does writing it out does. I wish pulse would ban those gifs. Now those annoy me.

Dazzling video! The first time since Hung Up that she's done something really fresh like this. And she finally has a single that actually sounds current instead of classic.

And this coming from CoCo, the ultimate instigator of the Pulse Music Board...I think it was most embarrassing it (CoCo)was named poster of the year from someone who starts the most trouble on pulse.... but then again...CoCo must have a very good friend who's on the board who makes sure her or his complaints go through... I'm sure Florida is not losing sleep on pulse giving her a warning.

Although it remains to be seen how this will perform, I'm thinking that this video is one of the smartest moves she has made--given that traditional means of charting (i.e., radio) are no longer available to her.

Now again certain Madonna fans, why is Mariah's name being brought up in this discussion about the video? What's even more sad is that you are mad that people don't like the way she incorporated these so called "cameos" that were hyped up and used in her marketing strategy. Also the Vegas line is insulting to fans of Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Cher, Bette Midler, Elton John, Prince, Shania Twain, and countless others that have or are currently doing residencies. The "Ghetto Rat" line is absurd as well.

No one here has attacked Madonna or her stans. People were simply giving their opinion on the video. Its that simple. This is not a fan board, so if you don't like what people are saying about the video, you can either skip over it or hit ignore.
Don't get all hot and bothered for not liking someone else's opinion. There's no need to bring other artists into it either that have nothing to with this video or topic.
And the use of foul and derogatory language is unacceptable.

I like the video. The cameos are stupid, but overall it's pretty great. Better than GT for me. It's a shame all of yesterday's views are wasted. Well not completely, cuz I'm sure Tidal is included in the Hot 100, but nobody has it. Bad marketing decision.
Score: B-

It had been ranked in the 800s/900s on iTunes before the premiere, and now it's top 200. Unless a track is really ranked somewhat high before the video drops, the impact usually doesn't push a track shooting to the upper reaches of the chart (especially for one of a certain age).

I'm glad it's finally on YouTube. It already lost some tracking time due to being late, so the Tidal exclusive for Day 1 squashed my hope for a Hot 100 entry.

Wow, I thought I was going to be seeing some Boring disaster video after reading the comments here. I liked the video a lot and I'm not that big of a Madonna fan. Maybe pushing the 3 to 4 second cameos to promote the video was a it much and made people expect more but it's not that big of a deal. Maybe she should have promoted it as Madonna and friends???? Anyways I thought it was great for that song. It's fun energetic and Madonna isn't being as pretentious as she can sometimes. Plus it made me like the song more. Go Madonna!

I don't think people should handle their frustration with stans of another act by hating on that actual artist herself, who is pretty fabulous and has nothing whatsoever to do with this topic .
