KEEP IT UP KEEP IT UP DON'T BE A PRI - MADONNA

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Pass/fail?

+ dance moves are hot
- Justin. SHAVE.
+ for all that the "aagh, put your crotch away, old woman" criticism recently has been totally justified...it's not actually all that intrusive here, and Madonna looks fantastic. Also I'm definitely down with her hitting on Justin, c'mon, no one complains when icky old men like Michael Douglas and George Clooney do it
- Justin. TAKE OFF THE FUCKING SCARF.
+ I like the treadmill scene, Madonna's camp nods to her right on "sometimes what I think what I need is a UN intervention"
- Justin. STOP UNDRESSING WOMEN OLD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR MOTHER.
+ when Madonna looks in the mirror and sees Justin there!
- That split second when Justin reaches down to help Madonna on to the car...no. A dancer had to do this to Britney at the VMAs. Not fierce.

I think maybe the video's actual problem is that it sets a lot of things up but doesn't follow through on them...M and J are working overtime to save the world but they never actually do anything, the vague sexual chemistry ends up as nothing more than Madonna taking Justin's jumper off, etc.

Still a great song though!

i thot the video would be more meta, since the song is, but i do love the ticking clock.
