Billboard chooses the 100 best videos of the XXI century, and Madonna has just one at no. 79. What a shock! There wouldn't be music videos without her, but I have to admit she evidently lost interest in this art form... as I often said, American Life withdrawal changed everything...

Okay, sure, MTV.

This list kind of makes me laugh. It's actually funny to me how bad some of these videos are and, yet, they still made it on there.

I don't want to say that music videos have been decreasing in quality and creativity (because that's a very negative viewpoint), but it kind of feels like it.

Hmm?  I guess that I'm just happy to see she's been included.  Other than David Bowie and Kylie, no other artist has been around as long that made the list.   And honestly, that David Bowie video wasn't that great, and I suspect they simply added him because he recently passed. 

Anyway, it's just a silly list.  It doesn't change the fact she's made many great videos since 2000.  I don't believe she's lost interest in this artform.  Yet, if she really did, do you blame her?  The network that revolutionized music videos (MTV), abandon their own concept for Reality TV nonsense.

Am i the only fan who hates the hung up and generally all the videos from the confessions era ?They always seemed amateurish to me compared to her previous videos - I think Music or Die Another Day should be on the list ? it still amazes that DAD video was so overlooked ? I think its a fantastic video ? is it more because people hate the song ? (I dont) Again this is just billboard playing to the masses of popularity (Beyonce, Taylor Swift - the only person im surprised isnt higher is Adele but lets face it she makes terrible videos)rather than actual stylistic genius - i like the bad romance video but i agree it shouldn't be number 1 :(
