Not that I'm attempting to tackle this whole video in one post, Madonna's music video for "Bitch I'm Madonna" is a very enjoyable watch. Bright colors overload the video. Every frame perfectly accents Madge's punk studded pink leather jacket. With the initial promise of a pop song (featuring several of her pop predecessors), "Bitch" very quickly turns into a club ready hit. Add in Madonna's own Harajuku girls sans Gwen and you've got a little bit of a Tokyo Drift vibe.
Surrounded by peers young enough to be her children, Madonna manages to not look completely (her visible roots and pink ombre screaming "does this make me look two decades younger?") desperate for relevancy. You'll also never be able to forget her iconic gap. Whoever her team is has done a wonderful job with this video. I wish I could attend a party in this fantasy sugar world. Make out with hot guy. Make out with girl. Pour beer on random stairwell man. Party party party.
The last few seconds of rolling around on the floor were a bit confusing and ultimately superfluous. Why did we need to see her rolling around the floor in an oversized shirt? Was that an attempt to replicate a certain other Queen's video? No matter her age, she can still make a hit with a killer video.
A-
Favorite part: the two x-nippled girls in the bathtub and the subsequent dance sequence.
