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!

The see-through french kissing part was pretty horrible!

AGREED ABOUT THE BEARD AND SCARF!

Madonna appears to have watching Torchwood for her facial expression inspiration, her moves aren't as bad as her tongue licking! Heh!

But I say pass! I think their dancing at the end is quite sweet, although Madge's writhing looks a litttttle overdone compared to Justin's style innit.

+ Madge keeping crotch action under control
- Madge's ice-skater fleshtone tops! STOP IT
+ Justin's fuzzy hair, bless
- Justin's beard (I am all for facial hair but DUDE HELLO)

Overall the video makes me like the song better! So definitely pass.

Extra folds of synthetic skin on empty dancefloor + video about terrible "expanding black crystals" CGI that tears it all off of you = fail, video overall's ok, I guess. Still don't think the song is very good.
