hmmm It's definitely not one of her best singles,but it's fun and catchy.I think it should be as a "teaser single" designed to promote her Super Bowl appearance...and then she can come back next month with a stronger single to serve as the "official first single".

The video is EXCELLENT.I can't stop watching it lol

It sounds a bit like Beautiful Stranger sped up, i dont really see the need for Nicki or MIA except to get her on the radio. Its catchy, nothing special, but its an attention grabber, i mean its all tied around "football" and she is doing the superbowl and now the video is out, etc...its all the marketing game, all the huge corporations, clear channel etc..dishing out big bucks to buy a hit.

Agreed.

But my Spice Girls reference was more towards the presentation, whereas Madonna is Ginger, Nicki is obviously Scary and MIA is Posh (she can barely be bothered). All redux for 2012.

Madonna has always been an expert marketer and she fails to disappoint here. But Katy Perry does THIS type of thing much better now, and she should, she is only in her twenties.

Ooooooh! eek

Wall Street Journal
Madonna Unveils Super Bowl Themed Video ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’
By Christopher John Farley

Madonna is set to provide the halftime entertainment at Super Bowl XLVI between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots on Sunday, but she ‘s already got her head in the game. She just released the video for one of the songs that she’ll perform during the show, “Give Me All Your Luvin’” and at a press conference yesterday she said that she’d been practicing as hard as some of the players who are set to take the field. The new video has football theme, and also features rapper/singers M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj as cheerleaders.

You’ve got to give the Material Girl credit for a number of things on this video. First off, the 53-year-old pop star appears to be in better shape than many college students, which is crazy. She also gets points for picking two of the coolest collaborators around–M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj–and getting them to literally serve as cheerleaders for the Madonna brand. And lastly, readers of the Wall Street Journal can appreciate the canny marketing involved with releasing a sexy football themed video shortly before a Super Bowl performance. Sorry Haters, Madonna still has it. This clip is a touchdown.

Check out the new video for “Give Me All Your Luvin’.” What do you think? Are you looking forward to Madonna’s performance?

I hear ya on the teaser single angle. I can see her releasing something else to generate new excitement about the album release closer to the release date. As a matter of fact, I'm expecting it.

lol Nah, I know its the actual single but she may treat it like a teaser after they don't get the lasting results they want and release a 2nd single to help bolster the album. No, it her first single alright, it just may not last that long is what I'm saying. Isn't the album not dropping until late March? I'll be surprised if this song is still getting good airplay before February is out.

Just being honest.

I love everything about this MV.

1. The Bob Fosse choreography in the bar scene. Very Sweet Charity.

2. The faceless cheerleaders - the GIRL POP pretenders?

3. The MIA rap verse - I don't give a sh*t. Madonna's message to all those who want her to be always on a Ray of Light mode.

4. The very high camp factor - You have the Sweet Charity choreo...the whole video featured tracking shots that remind you of all those 50s musicals. Then you have the look on Madonna's face as she walks away from the camera after she was caught by two football players....the Umbrellas in Cherbourg-inspired look at the beginning of the music video (Catherine Denueve) complete with cool rain effects and umbrellas, that cheesy intro about LUV and being a player.

5. Madonna references - Material Girl lift (this time as she "scaled" the wall), the Marilyn Monroe look which is a combination of the Erotica and the Like a Virgin eras, Dick Tracy (that Tommy Gun), Two cheerleaders kissing (VMA anyone?) etc. etc. etc.

People she's back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the song is pure Madonna. Could it be about a girl pop singer (or singers) whom she has inspired...could it be just about a guy....could it be that she's talking to Martin Solveig in this song.

This is the most exciting M era since Like a Prayer...so let's enjoy the ride.

....I miss my best friend...

No,it doesn't suck lol It's a cool song,actually.It just doesn't sound like a "first single" to me.It's too lightweight.However,it works extremely well as a 'teaser/promo' track for the SuperBowl.Releasing a song like this a few days before the SuperBowl is a shrewd marketing move.But in late March,just before the new CD drops,come back even stronger with a kickass single to serve as the REAL first single.

Even though "4 Minutes" isn't one of her best songs,it sounds like a first single.Timbaland's marching band intro was sheer genuis....there was a real 'urgency' to that song.

Then again,I could be completely wrong."Give Me All Your Luvin" could turn out to be one of Madonna's biggest hits...lol...we'll see.

nod and nowadays,that's how many artists do it anyway.They release one song,then have another single all ready to go before the album is even released.Now that Madonna has aligned herself with Interscope,there are so many more interesting promotional opportunities that she didn't have with Warners.

For some reason, the video reminds me of Mariah's "Up Out My Face."

The film clip is GREAT. She looks stunning as Marilyn and its the frst time in her career that she actually looks exactly like her rather than just Madonna playing dress up. The song however, although its grown on me alot from the demo, is quite poor ESPECIALLY the lyrics, she needs help from a proper songwriter with those.

Madonna Pre-Super Bowl Video Gets Some Cred From NFL, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A.


content by The Wrap

By Chris Willman at TheWrap

Fri Feb 3, 2012 1:07pm EST

The prop department on Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’” really had its hands full.

The video includes an infant carriage, baby doll, cutaway taxicab and tommy gun, among other accoutrements. Then there are the biggest props of all: the NFL, Nicki Minaj, and M.I.A.

Madge uses the “Luvin’” video to remind the world not just of her Super Bowl-worthiness, with its chorus lines of anonymous football players, but the fact that all the cool kids on the pop block still want to play ball with her, whether they represent radical chic (M.I.A.) or cartoonish commerciality (Minaj).

Gone are the days of Madonna chasing after the edgiest trends in icy electronica. Both the “Luvin’” single and video were released at 9 a.m. ET this morning (no sleepy-time midnight iTunes unveilings for this high-profile girl), and amid the froth overload of both, what was most immediately apparent was that the cred Madonna would now really like to appropriate is … Katy Perry’s.

Dr. Luke’s name isn’t on the production – Martin Solveig’s is – but the mixture of rock rhythm-guitar riffs, gurgling electronics, and harmonic cheer bears his mark. Certainly the enduring influence of Toni Basil will be oft-cited, too. Madonna must have slipped Minaj and M.I.A. a “Mickey” to get them to participate in a song that asks them to literally be cheerleaders for their host (“L-U-V Madonna/Y-O-U you wanna!”).

Of course, Madonna’s fellow stars are the only ones allowed to have faces in the “Luvin’” video. Several shots hard back to her seminal “Material Girl” video, where Madonna was passed overhead on the hands of dozens of men, as she is here. The difference is that back then, the extras had faces. Here, the guys all wear opaque football helmets and the girls all wear anime-style masks with big cartoon eyes. (Well, that’s one way to ensure the extras don’t make eye contact with the star on the set.)

Is it risible? Yes. Infectious? Yes, that, too. Everything here is as dumb as the titular spelling, but the campiness has its charm, at least if you like the old musicals that some of the tracking shots here are paying homage to. And there are very few things in life, popular entertainment included, that don’t go better with pompons.

Madonna is finally as well-styled as she is well-toned this time around, and the almost tippy-toe steps she does while trotting down the streets of a back lot (and stepping over the jerseys the football players lay across chivalrously puddles for her) are a clever visual complement to the very, very, very light touch of the music.

Miss M ditched the moodiness of her “Ray of Light” period for sheer sugar on her last album, “Hard Candy,” and this suggests she plans on continuing in the same unpretentious direction. There’s something about the goofiness that wears well on her, even – or maybe especially – at 53.

Still, it’s hard to ignore that there’s as much grease as sugar in this pan. Released three days before the Super Bowl, the video’s football imagery can’t help but suggest that Madonna is somehow paying the NFL back for its faith in her as a halftime draw – and/or just pulling out all the stops to ensure her audience tune in. It’s sexy-cute now, but will we still love it Monday morning?

And what in the world is in this for M.I.A., who looks great but seems a little out of her element cheerleading for anything other than Sri Lankan leftism? Isn't this a little beneath her, especially considering the brevity and banality of her guest rap late in the tune?

If you’re looking for the trail of grease here, look no further than to the fact that M.I.A.’s own new video, “Bad Girls,” also premiered this morning, coincidentally enough. Timing is everything, for radical pop stars as well as Laker Girls.

Wow I guess my Katy Perry comparison was more obviously then even I realized.

I dont like the cheerleaders bits in it at all. Like the Nicki Minaj and MIA and all the music style in that:- like it from 2.00-3 mins well until that cheerleading bit comes back. Like the video bits where there all dressed in white and the footballer bits. overall needed more nicki and MIA in it more dubstep and less of that cheerleaders crap and it would of been a good tune.

FUNKNROLL! dancing jig "February 2014, wow". 'dre. nod
