Telling of American Society | |||||
| Not surprising that a video about crashing down female stereotypes and breaking out of society's mold was banned on MTV. I think it makes Madonna's point that much more clear: Stop the double standards and mistreatment of women. The video is great. Watch it. Think about the videos YOU see on MTV- Jay-Z being shot for 30 seconds, men crashing cars and objectifying women: and you decide what needs editing in our society. | |||||
What It Feels Like For A Girl (Music Video) (2001) | |||||
| Madonna has always been known to shock the world with her dazzling music videos and live performances. WHAT IT FEELS LIKE FOR A GIRL is not the first video to be banned by MTV and VH1. Back in 1990, the music video for the controversial JUSTIFY MY LOVE was banned by MTV and VH1 and was the first music video to be released on VHS as a video single. WHAT IT FEELS LIKE FOR A GIRL, the third and final single to be released from her MUSIC (2000) album, is directed by Madonna's husband Guy Ritchie. This is a video that shows us a side of Madonna that none of us have ever seen before: it's violent. Although the album version may be a moving ballad with uplifting vocals and lyrics, Madonna wanted to get the song's message out to the people by making the video to what is here. Madonna had said that, "...It shows my character acting out of fantasy and doing things that girls are not allowed to do. This is an angry song and I wanted a matching visual with an edgy dance mix". Madonna had also said that she indeed hopes that the video will get people talking and open dialogue and she succeeded. The hypocrites have given Madonna and this video a bad name. I, as the rest of my fellow Madonna fans, on the other hand have thought this video was a great step for Madonna. Madonna has also been known to change her look, sound of music, outfits, and style of performances for many years and making this video to what it is was one of the many great ways of showing that. The video starts off with Madonna sitting in a motel room in a navy-blue jumpsuit. She puts on one earring that reads LADY. She grabs her suitcase and leaves the room and gets into her car where the front license plate reads PUSSY and the back reads CAT. You put the two words together and you get PUSSYCAT. At this exact moment, Madonna's elderly grandmother is sitting in a nursing home. Madonna hot-wires the car and drives off to the nursing home to pick up her grandmother. The name of the nursing home reads OLE KUNTZ' HOME. She puts her grandmother in the car and the two go off on their crime spree. While stopped at a red light, Madonna looks to her right and notices four hoodlums in the car next to her. She makes a wide U-turn and rams the hoodlums' car. She drives on to a MAC machine, takes out her stun gun and uses it on the man at the machine. She walks off with his money, a load of it I might add, and drives to a fast-food joint where she buys a bag of fries and two drinks where she then squirts water into two cops' faces. Then she's off to ram a couple of hockey players on roller skates, leading to Madonna throwing away the remaining bag of fries. She stops at a gas station where she and her grandmother ditch their car and get into a new one, a car that is actually being filled with gas by its owner. The minute the two drive off, the grandmother is back in the nursing home who spent the last 3 or 4 minutes imagining this whole fantasy. Madonna is back in her motel room picking out alias. She grabs her suitcase and heads out the door. The room number is 669, but when she slams the door, she slams it hard enough to make the 9 flip into a 6, making the room number change from 669 to 666, where the video ends with Madonna crashing the stolen car into a pole. Violent, but so what? There are many other things on T.V. that are much more violent than a music video, but that only goes to show you that these hypocrites are always out to bring Madonna down and after 21 years, they still haven't learned that they cannot bring her down. They all know that Madonna is the Queen Diva and with a video like this, she will be the Queen Diva for eternity and beyond. Buy this video if you have not yet seen it and prepared to see the Madonna you have never in your life seen. | |||||
Amazing Video! | |||||
| This truly is an amazing video. I'm so happy that Madonna decided to release the Paul Oakenfold Mix as the video single release - it's such a great mix... I'm usually not big on DVD singles, but this is a must own for any Madonna fan! | |||||
