New Madonna Video (Feat. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland ) - "4 Minutes (To Save The World)"

thumbnail icon: New Madonna Video (Feat. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland ) - "4 Minutes (To Save The World)"

Madonna wears a belted bathing suit like (too) few others. She gives us additional wardrobe malfunctions in the video for Timbaland-produced, JT-accompanied "4 Minutes (To Save The World) (which is just about how much time you likely have to watch this thing before Warner removes it from YouTube). In the clip, Madonna & Justin put checkout counters to use in a way we hadn't previously considered. Also, Madonna's crotch crashes someone's dinner. For his part, Timbaland shows up as a hype man: While he remains rather ripped, he must feel a bit left out from all the flirting.

Why's JT decomposing? Did he get MILF cooties? If you want more from the Material Mom, you can also check out this audio clip of "Miles Away."

Hard Candy is out 4/29 on Warner Bros.

interesting to note this is directed by the same guys who did the Justice "D.A.N.C.E." video and Kanye West "The Good Life" video.

Oh, I thought this was just the jingle to Sunsilk Hair Products or something. Glad to see those jingle-writers are getting a little outside exposure.

mmmm.....it's...lame. I mean, after Music, American Life and Hung Up, you can wait for something so good like the past song, but "4 Minutes" (or $ Minutes) it's just a simple single made by Timbaland, just a easy-way-to make a hit song.

Hard Candy has to be a good album, I'll be waiting for that.

I am one of the biggest fans of these artists, but I must say, this song is not good. These artists can produce much better quality work. This song is not catchy, creative or memorable. This is what happens when you become over confident and start underestimating your audience. Unfortunately the radio and tv networks will force it down our throats, and it'll begin to grow on us. But on first listen, its very poor quality over all, from technical production to songwriting. It sounds like music spaghetti, its too busy. I'm a true fan of all these artists, but I'm very disappointed.

That "count-backwards-till-the-end-of-the-song"-thing was ripped off from Depeche Mode's last tour. Way to go.
