Releasing Bad Girls at the same time was a great decision too. It shows that she's DOING a very pop song/video for Madonna, but is not BECOMING a super-pop artist.

I'm really glad she did that. People could've lost respect for her had she not have made that career move.
"Bad Girls" is the best music video I've seen in a WHILE.

The irony of the whole thing is that she reduced 3 of the least-basic artists in the industry--herself, M.I.A. and Nicki--while making Gaga seem even more daring and out-of-her-reach.
For better or worse, Madonna has taken everything that's going well in the industry right now--Nicki Minaj, pink dubstep, easy-listening pop, LMFAO, Glee, hipster--and inserted herself into it with only a thin layer of plastic. She adapted herself and begged the world to listen, while Gaga released something ridiculously out-of-place and bombast and commanded the world's attention.

I liked the song. Video was eh.
I still think that Madonna needs to wake up and realize that she's past her prime. At this point, she should forget about commercial success and focus on making innovative, kickass music instead. GMAYL is fun, but it's not innovative or kickass.

No she can't. Or if she wants to ruin her legacy, then yes she can.

Madonna Goes Old-School In 'Give Me All Your Luvin' ' Video
"Fans can make you famous, a contract can make you rich, the press can make you a superstar, but only luv can make you a player."
And with that message, Madonna's funky, fun and surreal (and almost cartoony) "Give Me All Your Luvin' " video kicks off.
Full of appearances from Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., masked cheerleaders, beefy football players and old-school Madonna references a-plenty, the Megaforce-directed clip is fun and light-hearted, much like the bouncy pop anthem itself.
The clip opens with Nicki and M.I.A. done up in cheerleader costumes chanting Madge's name. It then cuts to Madonna, clad in a trench coat and sunglasses, kicking down the door of her suburban home, pushing along a baby stroller.
From there, the video takes many unusual turns: football players tackling street signs, Madonna abandoning her baby carriage to hang out with her cheerleader crew, shots of her done up in black lingerie and a giant cross (the first of many looks that reference the many looks Madonna has worn over the years) dancing in front of a brick wall.
Sparks falls from the sky as she runs around the streets near her house, her football players protecting her with some giant umbrellas — creating an eye-catching visual. As she makes her way through town (which does little to not look like a movie set), they continue to be by her side and the video begins to play tricks on the viewers' eyes. They help her walk across a world turned sideways. It appears that they may have taken cues from her "Material Girl" video.
Madonna looks like she's having an incredibly fun time throughout the visual — smiling and shimmying her way through this fictional, hyper-fantasy world. Watching the clip, one may wonder what doesn't happen in the video. Madonna gets shot at with old-school guns (perhaps an homage to her "Dick Tracy" days)! She climbs up a giant pile of football players! She plays with a baby doll! (Yes, that happens!)
As the song approaches its breakdown, Madonna fans everywhere will certainly begin to stand out hard.
Carried by her football players into a new setup (some kind of club-like setting), Madonna becomes the "Like a Virgin" version of herself. Dressed in white lace, a curly bob and lots of diamonds, she clearly is paying homage to that infamous era. Her two rapper pals are also dressed in similar looks as they spit their rhymes over the Martin Solveig-produced track. There's also a few other Madonna refs in there: In addition to rolling around on her little stage (you know like she did at the VMAs back in 1984, there's also two girls kissing (she's also done that at the VMAs) and a bunch of Smirnoff vodka bottles (she recently partnered up with the alcohol brand).
From there, Madonna stage-dives into layers upon layers of football players' hands and, at the end of it, gets caught by two of the players. The always-fierce Queen of Pop wraps up the video with a dance routine with all the characters along the way. When one of her masked cheerleader bats the head off one of her football players, she catches the helmet and proudly displays it, surrounded by sparklers.
The video ends with Madonna tossing her baby doll to the side as one final message flashes across the screen: "Touchdown!"
"Give Me" is the lead single off her March album release, MDNA.

Madonna’s ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’' single and video score a touchdown days before Super Bowl
Has Madonna, at 53, turned into Sporty Spice in her prime?
That's the athletic persona — and the peppy sound — she adopts for her new video and song, "Give Me All Your Luvin'." Surrounded by pumping cheerleaders and worshipful football players, Madonna shimmies and preens through the clip. Though she'll debut the song live this Sunday, during a time when half the country ducks into the kitchen to replenish the bean dip, here Madonna acts like she's the Super Bowl's central figure, an icon even football heroes must bow before.
Oh, and for some reason, she's wheeling a baby carriage at the start of the clip and, later, nursing a (plastic) baby. Luckily, she winks through every twist and turn, making clear the clip's tone: camp.
It's the right stance for the song. "Give Me" breaks rank with the cool and sophisticated dance songs that marked Madonna's excellent last CD, "Hard Candy." Instead it's a pure snap of bubble gum, closer to an early single like "Burnin' Up" than any of her more recent club hits. Only the rap cameos from the quite camp Nicki Minaj, and the less so M.I.A., tell us what decade we're in. Similarly, Madonna pushes aside the more womanly voice she has used since "Evita," in favor of the yap and squeak of her early days. She even makes lyrical reference to her early '80s single, "Lucky Star."
"Luvin'" doesn't have that song's pop perfection. It's just a trifle. But it's a fun one, brimming with a kind of humor Madonna could always use more of.

Madonna teams up with M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj in "Give Me All Your Luvin.'"
Some people might think that Madonna teaming up with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. is like finding an Odd Future CD hidden in your mom's car -- you're terrified and confused, but also curious and intrigued. The first single from Madonna's upcoming twelfth studio album MDNA, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" is a youthful, peppy anthem, proving once again that no matter how many detours Madge might take, she's never veered off the track as the Queen of Pop Music.
Dressed as funky cheerleaders, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. call out for their team capitan: "L-U-V Madonna!/Y-O-U, you wanna!" Madonna busts down her house door decked in a trench and sunglasses as she pushes a baby carriage through a small town set. Football players fall over themselves to worship her every move as Madge strips down into a two-piece and fishnets, leaving us all wondering how the hell this woman is over 50. Madge leads Nicki and M.I.A. to a party where they sport their finest '80s-inspired Madonna gear (#blondwigsFTW) as the two hip-hop stars impressively hold their own next to the icon.
"Give Me All Your Luvin'" harks back to the sound that made Madonna stick -- solid bubblegum pop with a healthy dose of camp and fun. And while we're sure the football theme might have something to do with that little halftime show she's planning at the Super Bowl this weekend, it also speaks to a larger idea: Madonna's never been the cute and innocent homecoming queen, but those wholesome, all-American football players still wanna kick it with her. That's talent... and she's honed it to perfection.

This pretty much sums it up.
Though you would hope that the supposed Queen of Pop can smash the charts with whatever she wants to put out and not not create music to cater to the music industry's trends. But I guess that's just how the music industry is these days if you want to be successful, with a few exceptions.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this song was reminiscent of Beautiful Stranger. First thing I thought when I heard it.

The Guardian: Mixed to positive (?)

Well, it's not bad. Musically it's a pretty joyful four minutes, featuring bouncing beats, acoustic riffs and Gwen Stefani-style cheerleader chants, but there's something a bit flat about Madonna's delivery. Given all the love she's demanding, you'd think she'd be more excited. Instead she sounds like she rush-recorded the vocal before a screening of W.E.
