    Madonna SURVIVORS -- MeantToBeIconic's New Game April 2016

    in News ✖ Discussion

    Posted

    Hello... it's me...

     

    I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to PLAY A BRAND NEW GAME

     

    So here's how this works. We'll start off with a category (an album, interludes, tour setlist, song performances, w/e), list them out, then everyone pms me one item from the list they want to eliminate, and one they want to save. Once a week, an item will be saved, and maybe granted immunity.

     

    Additionally, individuals will be granted a "Severance vote" (you'll be notified if you have it) that can cut either the total points granted to a song in half. Whether you use it or not is up to you.

     

    I thought to ease in we'd start with "BEST INTERLUDE"

     

     

    Here's the list:

     

    • [*]Paradise (Not For Me) - DWT [*]WIFLFAG - DWT [*]Don't Cry For Me Argentina - DWT [*]The Beast Within - RIT [*]Hollywood Remix - RIT [*]Bedtime Story Remix - RIT [*]Susan McLeod Intro - RIT [*]Equestrian/Future Lovers Intro - CT [*]Confessions - CT [*]Sorry Remix - CT [*]Duke Remixes The Hits - CT [*]The Sweet Machine - SST [*]Die Another Day - SST [*]Rain/Here Comes The Rain Again - SST [*]Get Stupid - SST [*]Virgin Mary - MDNA Tour [*]Best Friend/Heartbeat - MDNA Tour [*]Radio Dial Static Medley - MDNA Tour [*]Justify My Love - MDNA Tour [*]Nobody Knows Me - MDNA Tour [*]Iconic Intro - RHT [*]Messiah - RHT [*]S.E.X. - RHT [*]Illuminati - RHT

    ​Let the game begin! I'll be awaiting your messages and hope to answer any questions

     

     

    Thanks to @GHouse for helping me come up with a new game

    holy fuck what kind of revival? Posted Image

     

     

     

    Give Me All Your Luvin'

     

     

    Pros: Nowhere NEAR as bad as given credit for. An excellent fun track that served as an excellent number for performance.

     

    Cons: Um... as much as I love her, M.I.A.s place on the song feels weird. And a really predictable and basic beat pattern.

    Trippy. Abstract. The closest thing this world has to a physical representation of enlightenment. Of course, it only seems appropriate that such a trippy song gets this kind of video treatment. With all the symbolism that's hard to keep track of present in this video, you can't help but leave stimulated and in awe of the piece of art you just let invade your life for 4 Minutes.

    Before I even posted about the countdown, I knew this video was going to win. And how could it not? Before looking at the video itself, the process and creativity behind the creation of this video is astounding, filming in the Mojave desert then doing that blue tint. Simple, yet still quite genius. Then there's the video itself. Madonna's Kabbalism is front and center here, and it fits the Eastern tone of the song fantastically. Of all her music videos, the only one that still gives me chills like the first time I watched it was this one (particularly the scene where she falls and hits the ground and becomes a bunch of crows). In my mind, an undisputed winner. It has earned its crown.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    And just like that, the countdown is over.

     

     

    Here's a few summary observations:

     

    Videos from the 80's: 2

    Videos from the 90's: 5

    Videos from the 00's: 2

    Videos from the 10's: 1

    Ballad videos: 1 (2 if we count Rain)

     

     

     

     

    And here's the final results:

    Our last 80's video to go, and a CRAZY AWESOME one at that. Crazy cool choreography, inspiration taken from an awesome novel, fantastic imagery, and she looks great. Influencing and being copied by many, but never duplicated, this one is a pure standout from her videography, and has fought for and earned its Top 3 spot.

    Iconic. I don't need to say any more, do I? This video has still yet to be topped, for good reason. Intense choreo. Appealing visuals. Appeal to the underground scene. Pretty much any one thing that would make a good music video is amplified to 10 and mixed with a bunch of others. Plus, it gave us great gifs, so....

    Hey, I'm just as shocked as you are. Only #5? Only ONE 11? What is going on? I love sacrilegious imagery, so this video is a clear standout. Perhaps the best part about it, however, is how it doesn't seek to do so for the sheer sake of it, but rather a "I believed in this, but have issues with it. Here's what they are". Iconic for a reason. Let down a bit in the rate? Just maybe.

    I get that she wanted to remove the violence at the time, but instead of pulling the video altogether I'm sure they could of edited the original in such a way to make it less potentially offensive. Im surprised that she didn't include this on the Celebration DVD as Justify My Love and Erotica were included after being banned, and the WIFLFAG video (genius!) was included too and was considered controversial at the time of its release.

     

    All for different reasons, of course, and those reasons became less serious by the time 2009 rolled around. Sex was less taboo, especially female sexuality (to an extent), WIFLFAG, I dare say, was forgotten about? That, and the violence was more female empowerment, which really accelerated in the late 00's. However, no general American market takes kindly to American social critique, so it makes total sense why it was never put on an official DVD.

    Quite an improvement from the original, if I do say so myself. YAY VIOLENCE (except this one has purpose). I mean, I can get why she opted to release the flag version, but COME ON. LOOK AT THIS THING. AN ABSOLUTE SPECTACLE IN THE BEST WAY. YOU'VE GOT RUNWAY TRASHING, EDGY-DONNA, AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY. What's not to love?

    SO MANY TENS WHY. Everyone loves sex, and this video has it in spades. There's so much taboo in one video, it's almost too much to be true. Overall, there somehow manages to be a subtle intimacy to the video that makes it quite a thing to watch. That, and all the crazy imagery.
