Dressed in a nude colored corset and stripping lasciviously in front of Justin Timberlake who is, just for the record, almost half her age at 26, Madonna looks not a day over 25 herself in the video that was just released. How was that possible? - that was the question on everybody's mind once the initial pleasant surprise over the vid wore off. The "Daily Mail" has the answer: it was a brilliant combination of soft focus lenses, very attentively planned lighting, post-production airbrushing and very good makeup.
"Her flesh-colored outfit is not unlike the infamous Jean Paul Gautier basque she wore in 'Express Yourself' in 1989 and if the clip is to be believed, she has barely aged a day in the two decades in between. " the e-zine writes. In all fairness, Madonna does look younger than any other 50-ish performer out there but, as long as she doesn't come off as desperate or tacky, the last thing that should probably concern us is the way in which she manages to do that, especially when her new music is so enthusiastically received all over.
In the clip for "4 Minutes to Save the World" that aired yesterday, Madonna and Justin move from scene to scene, shaking their bon-bons as a dark matter is slowly consuming the world around them. Producer Timbaland is also featured in the video, but he is not incorporated into its "story". However, the best part of the clip, as we already mentioned yesterday, is the final dance-off between Madonna and Justin, against a giant tick-tocking digital clock, where the diva finally shows the world that they simply don't make dancers like her anymore.
