I’m here for it I bloody love it I can’t get enough. It’s a fun bop for me it’s more interesting than the frozen remix and fresh. 
 
I’m gonna be pussy popping all day 

this is so camp. More more more

I'm ADDICTED! So silly and fun.
Hope the visuals/video delivers too. Imagine this with a proper single cover too. They performed together (and took professional pictures) so I don't know why that is the cover with a selfie in the studio... even a video still a la "Beautiful Stranger" cover would have been nice.
But can't complain, this a much needed lighter moment in Madonna's discography and it's so fresh.

Surely that’s not up to people outside of their community to decide that?
How would the LGBTQ community feel if they were told by straight people they shouldn’t be using the word “Queer?”

I like it, it's cute. Her one-off tracks never sounded like the subsequent albums ("Hey You", "Freedom", "Me Against The Music", "Sing", "Champagne Rose", etc.) and we could use a fun humorous bop after the doom-and-gloom tone of the Madame X era, no?. I'm for one glad her team is finally learning to capitalize on viral trends.

I take it as an extra but I wouldn't mind an album of her remixing old tracks with other people. We have Frozen, Hung Up, this one depending if they have added some lyrics from Material Girl... Madonna experimenting and having fun is good, we may not be so super exited or weren't when she released those Frozen remixes but at least she did the job and gave is music videos

People here are being more overdramatic than the editing in an Indian soap opera... Not kidding, you all literally look like this! 
 

Hey New_Boy. I just caught up with all the comments overnight and wanted to say thank you for watching the Closer special. There were at least 3 people on the thread who had some very strong things to say about Chappelle who hadn’t watched it. Personally, I don’t think it’s fair to criticise someone without listening to what they’ve said first, in it’s entirety, within its original context. I appreciate you took the time to watch it and form a more nuanced opinion, and (*spoiler alert*), in part, I think we might even agree! 
I definitely felt there were many things Chappelle said during the show that were offensive (especially that repeated space Jews joke?!), but that doesn’t necessarily make him bigoted/racist/transphobic/misogynistic.
I agree it’s also an older style of comedy. Perhaps where we disagree is my appreciation of satire and his provocative, uncomfortable humour to draw attention to serious issues. I understand that might not be appreciated by a younger, more sensitive audience. For full disclosure, I’m 40, and I laughed quite a few times. Does that make me old?! ? I’m guessing you’re probably younger than me, but even if it’s a dated style of comedy, older people deserve to laugh to. Regardless of how it’s delivered, it’s still drawing attention to these issues and stimulating conversation and debate. People don’t always agree, but shutting down the conversation - cancelling people - inhibits any further opportunity for understanding, and I think we agree about that.
I’ve watched many of Blaire White’s videos and interviews and I think she’s brilliant. I’m less interested in the trans-related topics and more about her politics. Again, for full disclosure I’m not American. I live in the UK, but I’m definitely not a fan of progressive social liberalism and woke ideology. I’d describe myself as a classical liberal, slightly centre-right, especially when it comes to fiscal economics, and more closely aligned with Dave Rubin if you’ve ever watched any of his videos.
I disagree with you regarding the Guy Oseary comment. I’ve noticed a lot of fans blaming Oseary for every perceived mid-step in Madonna’s career, as if she’s completely oblivious and incapable of making these decisions on her own. She’s a big girl. She was clearly involved with the edit and having sorted through this discussion, I believe she included Chappelle because his speech (and career) clearly chimes with the ‘artist’s are here to disturb the peace’ mantra of the show. That doesn’t necessarily mean she agrees with everything he says though, but she clearly recognises and supports an artist’s right to freedom of speech. I could be wrong, it’s just my opinion, but I believe that’s why she included him in the show.
I suppose the long and short of it, is that we don’t all think the same. We’re not always going to agree, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be friendly, kind and engaged with one another. This thread has revealed a range of opinions, which we’re all entitled to, and I’m glad I engaged with you in this discussion. I hope you are too.
For everything we may disagree upon, I hope you at least considered my posts polite and respectful. I do take offence at being told I ‘should be ashamed’ and ‘to go fuck myself’. You’re clearly very passionate about these issues, and I respect that, but it’s counterproductive to confuse passion with anger. I think you’ll always be more persuasive if you don’t swear and shame others. To quote Madonna, quoting W.H. Auden at the Women’s Rights March, “we must love one another or die”. 
Despite our differences, I genuinely hope there is far more that can unite us, namely our passion for Madonna! 
Which, funnily enough, brings me full circle back to Dave Chappelle and a final quote from Daphne:
T“I don’t need you to understand me, just believe I’m having a human experience”.
Peace and good day to you. ?

A slightly random one, but at the beginning of Miles Away on the Sticky & Sweet DVD, she yells, “are you having a good time?”. I really don’t know how this became a thing, but during lockdown my boyfriend and I would be working in separate rooms. Every now and then we would shout it across the flat to acknowledge the other was still there. ?

Living For Love, Rebel Heart Tour - the opening procession up the runway towards the main stage, right up to “I let down my guard”, when the cape comes off. I saw both shows at the O2 in London. On both nights the crowd went insane when that damn cape finally disrobed without incident!

Hung Up, The Confessions Tour - everything from, “But it’ll be too late”, when the music goes quiet, up to and including, “I don’t know what to do”, followed by THAT epic catwalk down the runway, dry-humping the boom box, crash to the floor, head thrown back, balloon drop and CHORUS!

My friends and I still shout "How you doing in the splash zoooone!?" from Kylie in the Aphrodite Tour video.

"jimmy jimmy ohhh jimmy jimmy " - jimmy jimmy 
" its my birthday song " birthday song 
"hey youuuuu uuuuu" - hey you 

you think madonna would include only popular people in her show when she says herself " she is not here to be popular " - shes not that kind of artist - she never was tbh - she includes who she wants and he is perfect in my opinion due to the whole theme of the show etc etc ..i do not think he is transphobic and i think that all this negative attention must have done his views wonders on netflix lol ...i said what i said 

You're basically saying she's not the right kind of trans.  I don't even know Blaire White I just happened to watch the video because it was posted here. And in it she describes how Dave's trans friend was bullied online to the extent she killed herself. And your response to that is pretty horrible. We don't have to like everything everybody says, and life would be boring if we did, but not liking what someone says doesn't make them some intrinsically bad person.
