In this week of Video fails...

From casually insulting Gaga to now headlining the superbowl half-time show, the Queen of Kabbalah and Pop Madonna is back with a new album and video for her single "Gimme All Your Luvin'" ft Nicki Minaj and MIA. It is clear that after her critical and commercial successful album Ray of Light, Madonna has moved over more into the dance pop phase in music. This track is very pop, light, and bubbly with some sounds from a Japanese pop song. Clearly she is trying to appeal some younger fans by mispelling "luvin'" and having both Nicki Minaj and MIA featured. Recently Nicki has been on some other ish with her lame lyrics in "Stupid Hoe" and "Roman in Moscow" but with this track she barely is on it long enough to even have an opinion. I am not sure why MIA is even on this either, I had to listen to the song more than once to even remember where her verse was. 
To follow this publicity and youth exploitation of an album, she dropped a visual for it a couple days before he highly publicized performance. Now I am not sure why she did this because it would make more sense to leave people in anticipation and suspense to hear the new track but Im not her publicist or manager. The video is pretty basic but has some interesting effects with the gold rain and you cant be mad at Nicki or MIA for looking damn good. All in all, the video is nothing too special or serious like the track. If this is what is to be expected for the superbowl performance, I may have to miss out on it unless Nicki and MIA are planning to have a wardrobe malfunction. 
"Gimme All Your...Youth"

 Mirror, Mirror on the wall...
Weezy recently dropped a visual for his bonus track "Mirror, Mirror" ft Bruno Mars from Tha Carter IV.  The video is pretty simple with some interesting cinematography of Bruno and the painting. I didn't really see the connection between the song and the portrait at the end but it ain't my mirror. One thing I found a little weird about the whole video is that their were no mirrors or anything throughout. Although it might be too literal but with a song named "Mirror, Mirror" I was expecting maybe, you know, a mirror. Not sure what is going on with Weezy lately but he seems to maybe going through some things or just trying to show a deeper, more depressing side to his image. Somebody may just need a hug.
