I like the tbt choreography, the fact that she doesn't stumble and fall on the floor when she sings "Lifted me up, and watched me stumble" like Gaga used to do in the Do What U Want live performances when she sang "But then I trip over myself and I fall" and the Nietzsche quote because I am intellectual AF.

Oh and the minotaurs growling throughout because it's very masc musc.

For someone who claims to be depth incarnate, Gaga sure is literal, isn't she?

Muscotaurs.
 
The sound effects are amazing, the minotaur dancers look fantastic and the I honestly can't believe how downright SEXY Madonna looks. I'm also loving the black, red and white colour focus so far for the era. Reflects the rebel and the heart elements nicely.

How can she be this good? She looks so confident and strong. I've completely forgotten that the last two albums ever happened.

Fantastic video. Struggling a bit with the album - I like the songs, but the overall production isn't really working for me, including that of the mastered tracks. I don't think the vocal production is very well done, and actually think they should be lowered in the mixes to let the instrumentals pop a bit more.

That said, I'm determined to like this album, so I'll keep trying, but I may have to accept that Madonna just isn't for me.

They managed to rip this, and yet, the video is nowhere to be found.
 
I'm such a happy fan this week. Great album, great video for a great song, and what hopefully will be a great performance.

Oh, M. I can't believe I even dared to think you had lost it. Ik ben droevig...

I know you were just quoting/joking, but your Dutch threw me off.

I really enjoyed the process of downloading Snapchat, creating an account, searching Madonna's name, watching the tiny clip where she (or a hand that looks like hers) shows you how to find the music video and then finally getting to watch the actual thing.

Sometimes it's not that bad to be the ultimate victim of huge marketing ploy.

The video is great. Nothing she hasn't done before a million times already, but it works.
 
I both love it and hate it. The set up, scenes and Madonna are glorious but I feel like the fact it only has one setting lets it down. It makes the video feel small and if there had been two or three set ups cut into each other, the video could have been elevated to something outstanding.
 
Watching the behind the scenes video makes me so happy! She looks so enthusiastic about her work.

She will smash it in the Grammy's. Wait and see...
 
The only thing that's TRULY missing is a Running of the Bulls scene, where Madonna flees the nipply minotaurs only to turn around defiantly and leap over the herd of manbeasts.
 
It really should have been a sunny outdoors video, maybe a bit All the Lovers, or a nighttime street party... something like that. The video feels really gaudy and severe and doesn't reflect the vibrancy of the song very well.
