video

{Madonna's people are on a rampage taking the vid off Youtube etc}

The much-anticipated video for Madonna's latest offering '4 Minutes (To Save The World)' premiered just a few short hours ago. I must say that I consider this to be one the year's better vids thus far. Both the clips concept of and the overall visuals were awesome. Saying that, I felt both Madonna and Justin could have brought 'it' better on the choreography front - which, IMO, was a real missed opportunity . Still, a great video that emphasises why she continues to remain relevant in today's unstable music climate. Madonna's forthcoming LP 'Hard Candy', from which '4 Minutes' is lifted from, will hit stores on April 29th.

What do you think of the video?

She looks AMAZING!
I think the problem with songs as good as this is that you don't know what to expect with a video...you just expect the video to be amazing as well. The video isn't amazing but I think it's done the song justice...

First off, she looks great definitely proves why I'm in to cougars. But, I like the video I just didn't get the anatomy class element in it. The dance scene with Justin and her was cool.

BUT ME AGAINST THE MUSIC was a better Madonna collabo video with a young pop star.... WHO? BRITNEY SPEARS! lol

The concept is that the black thing is killing everyone, when u see the inside of the body it means the black thing got them. I the video great concept.

Okay.. i'll start by saying that madonna looks great for a soon to be 50 year old.
The song i'm not too fond of and the video didn't make me like it any better. however i think it's great that She still is doing music! I love that so far this year Music's heavyweights are returning to the scene. (Madonna, Janet, and Mariah are holding it down)I wish all the best.

it's good to see madonna still doing it, but this colab with justin taking off a piece of Madonna clothes, gives me a feeling of a Janet dis, because of the super bowl. Madonna hates Janet, it funny cause Madonna's white and doesn't look as good as Janet who is 8 years younger. she's somehow looks great still doing it, and some how cause janet's black she too old although she's a much better performer. explain that. And since when to we expect Madonna's dancing to be all that, she not Janet who has been out 36 years to madonna's 26 years.

Love the Video and the song. Madonna knows how to change it up, and that keeps her interesting.

I love the video, I love the song, and I love Madonna.

She is still going and I don't think anything can and will stop her.

I love the song and vid! Geez, that was good. Damn, im impressed that she still has it in her. Damn, Damn.

The dance routine seems reminiscent of JT and Janet's performance during the Superbowl. JT's outfit looks similar to Kanye's outfit in his latest video "Homecoming."

Love Madonna, don't like Justin Timberlake much anymore. So to put them two on a song together i was expecting something BETTER than this.

The only part i caught myself enjoying and even considering buying the single was the END.

The video, ehhhhh, it was ok, yeah i get the whole black thing they are running from that's eating away everything, Madonna's an OKAY dancer, she plays it off well, better than most can these days, but i was atleast hoping the video would make me enjoy the song better. They didn't do the beat jutice with the dancing and all.

And yes, the ending was a whole playback of the Janet, Superbowl thing. But it didn't play well.

Okay video, nice to see something different, but just wasn't hitting it for me.

Song - 9.5 out of 10
Video - 9 out of 10

Madonna is a force to be reckoned with!

WOW, that was totally incredible! I just wish that there was more complexed choreography in the video, but besides that it's near perfect! I've always been huge Madonna & Justin fan and to see them together like this is unbelievable. I love both the song and the video. They both have true talent. A legend and a legend in the making.....I most definitely will be purchasing Madonna's album at the end of this month.

tsk tsk tsk . .
the vid didnt do much for me and the song doesnt either. the best part of the song is when justin goes "only qot 4mins to save the world" everyone talks about how mariah wears too revealing clothing. look at madonna lookinq damn near nude but thats okay ? shes on the floor doing splits looking like some pole dancer. SMH. i expected so much more from her. im soo sick of timberland doing EVERYONES tracks and for them to be STRIGHT TRASH. i likee madonna but mann what a dissapointment. her album, i wouldnt buy. looking forward to E=MC2

Madonna has never been a big dancer. Her choreography has always been limited and rather simplistic, but it works for her obviously (as in "Vogue" a video iconic for its choreography)

Justin, an artist who often epitomizes the most elaborate of dance numbers had to dumb it down in a sense for this video. I think it worked. Captured the youthfulness of the entire clip.

I couldn't agree with you more. Such a great song, but music video could have been better choreographed.

The video could have been alot better. I enjoyed the end when they were both dancing. Madonna still looks good after all these years. You go girl.
