Madonna’s Super Bowl Review
She is the queen of reinvention and over her 30 year career has managed to attract the maximum amount of publicity for her often controversial music videos.So it was no surprise then, that Madonna has taken full advantage of the 21st century technological age.
The new video and single for her latest musical effort Gimme All Your Luvin were today beamed simultaneously to a potential worldwide audience of 150 million.
