Your brother loves freerunners! It's too bad he didn't see the actual tour.Madonna brought a few of these parkour/freerunner guys on tour with her.

SoulAlive said:

She dissed Oz too, so I didn't see the tour.

I think she's scared of Nathan and I as we stole her thunder with our appearance in the Drowned World DVD.

We would have been perfect for the "Jump" video.

Moonbeam said:

Yeah,you guys certainly know how to jump,lol.Whenever I watch that DVD,I always notice the two of you jumping up and down during "Beautiful Stranger"...or was it "Candy Perfume Girl"?

still, relatively speaking, Rain was not that big of a success in the overal scheme of her career, even at that point. she'd only had 2 other singles peak outside of the top 10 in the preceding 10 years. it was a success for Erotica, but it was still seen as a disappointment at the time.

i like what i've seen of the video. i love the wig. not crazy about the outfit though. and the freerunners are cool too. i've been with gangstafam from the beginning... they had to be in this video.

the single's been pushed back a week to Oct. 24

Its exactly how i imagined it to be, disappointing. They must have had the brightest lights shining on her because shes squinting throughout. Im afraid it just looks like she thought of it at the last minute, took some dancers outside to jump around abit, shined a lot of bright lights on madonna in a cheap set seomwhere and she danced around for 5 minutes. No thought, no style - just pointless.

It completes four pretty crappy videos from her for this album. Not one of the videos has been deserving of the singles, in truth im really disappointed in them. I think of how great her videos were for Erotica or Ray Of light and it makes me sad

Anyho, at least thats the close on this chapter of her career, now we can start specualting again about new music.

Do young folks (I'm in my mid-30s now, so I don't include myself in that demographic) think Madonna is silly for her "dance queen" antics?

That back cover seems a bit absurd to me.

I don't think she's released a really good video since 'Don't Tell Me', and, quite frankly, her last 'great' video might have been from Ray of Light, or it might have been 'Human Nature' from Bedtime Stories.

'Hung Up' was decent, 'Sorry' just hardcore sucked, and 'Get Together' was alright for not having any effort put into it.

I only saw the one-minute preivew so far, but I've gotta say that, unless 'Like a Prayer' or 'Bad Girl' calibre work pops out of the other 3 minutes, I'm counting this amongst her "lesser video" pile.

It's a shame because I think that 'Jump' was probably the most single worth song on the COADF album, probably even over 'Hung Up'. I think that this one really is worthy of standing alongside 'Express Yourself', 'Don't Tell Me', etc... as a classic Madonna cut. Releasing it as the 4th single with a shoddy video won't do it any favors in the Madonna canon, though.

she is the dance queen. what's absurd about it? it's a still from the video. her foot is up resting on something and she's leaning against some bars. what's absurd about it?

i didn't think ROL was that good, personally. it was alright, but i didn't see what all the hubbub was about. they sped shit up, wow. Don't Tell Me is the last one i really liked a lot. before that, it's probably LDLHA or You'll See or Human Nature.

Tessa said:

Madonna's style just misses me more these days. The "Hung Up" video, for instance. Her whole look... If it's hitting me that way (and I see this as someone who has enjoyed her stuff from time to time), I wonder how the teens and 20s folks view it.

ThreadBare said:

it frequently misses for me too. but that could just be because i'm older now and not everything she does has to cater to me and vice versa. i love her, but she's not as important to my life as she once might have been. nobody but my lover is

Axchi696 said:

i don't think Labels spend as much money on videos like they did in the heyday since MTV and VH1 don't really play videos anymore. Smaller budgets mean less spectacular videos

Tessa said:

she is the singer with the most #1 dance hits so she is the Dance Queen.

i like it. than again i'm 25 and a Madonna fan for life so what do i know.

ehuffnsd said:

Yeah, to me, she looks like she's doing some "Aeon Flux" role-playing... But, hey... if it works, it works...
