the cameos mess

Like, everyone here on ATRL was very excited for it after she tagged them in the instagram pictures.

I love the video aside from the messy cameos, Nicki included, and really wish they could have had people actually there. Even if they were only for a second like Rita and Chris Rock, it would have been so much better than the random close-ups.

I agree, those cameos were messy as ****. They could've at least have tried to film each of those artists in an empty box / room (similar to Madonna in that scene towards the end) and have spliced that into the video with a few different angles to top it off. Fading them in and out of the scenes just looked sad and lazy.

For a song that celebrates who she is all those cameos did was draw attention to her diminished influence and make her team seem desperate for views with that false advertising.

Watching it in HD makes a world of a difference. I love how fun, energetic, and colorful this video is!

The video's cute but the song is so sh!tty

Madonna mentioned Miley, Beyonce, Katy, etc. in her posts because they ARE in the video. She never said that they were going to have some starring role, yet the media and ATRL in particular took it and ran with it, comparing it to Bad Blood and setting up ridiculous expectations of seeing their lesser faves side-by-side with the queen.

Everyone saying the appearances were "hyped" did it to themselves

A pretty average video, that was. In this day and age, Madonna can't really win... she can make a great video like Ghosttown and have every body pay it dust, or this try-hard attempt at seeming 'hip' and 'cool' which also gets paid dust. The cameos are probably the saving grace (idk, might get the video a couple million views...?) but even they were hard-arsed. Nicki the TV? Beyonce's blink-on-an-eye appearance? Meh

its the other way around. she's having fun and not taking herself serious. she's falling on her ass all the time how is that trying to be desperate to be hip? i don't get you people. the cameos are annoying and actually ruin the video

how can you NOT see she's just having fun and joking? i don't get that. are people that slow?

This is actually a really fun video. I like it.

Madonna's worst song and worst video ever. Ghost Town and Devil Pray prove she can release good music still, so was disappointed with this car crash of a song and MV.

I think history will look at this song and MV as a mistep in Madonna's career, a low point as opposed to a highlight. I am glad I went to see Madonna in concert when she was performing great songs and not this utter tripe. I am disappointed that this track made the cut for the album and was subsequently chosen for a single. I am disappointed that this MV was such a mess. All that star-power and this was the result? What a waste.

The meltdowns from the Swifties.

Taylor probably WISHED her video could have looked like this and not some overproduced trash her record label contrived.

Now that I've seen it in HD I love it

[JoaoP]

what a huge mess.
and by the way Beyonce is too big to be in a Madonna video. Katy or Rita Ora I can understand but BEYONCE being involved in this mess?? I cant.

No one is bigger than Madonna.

Y'all give Beyonce so much credit.

I honestly enjoyed the music video. Good job Madonna and good job for uploading it to VEVO a day after. I thought this would be another Feelin' Myself type of atrocity.

Chill the **** out.

The video fits the song well. The other all star music video that was released though looks like a raw draft trailer of a 1998 action film.
