Just about the only place you can see Madonna's controversial video is on this special DVD Single.

"Well, part of the Madonna legacy is her ability to combine her music with stellar and breathtaking videos. No exception to this latest controversy...
The reason why this video is banned is not fathomable. We have seen much more violence and sex on MTV, so cut the crap. The video is like a little Guy Ritchie crime craper. Who says a car thief can't be a woman? Who says a woman can't squirt water onto policemen's face? Madonna says you can...and if you look beyond the so-called violence in the video, you'll find the subtle message of the very superior original. The heart-thumping club remix that this DVD is cut to just serves to hype up the action.
It is a splendid work of visual, just one complain: there's only one video track here. Why not add another remix video or even have a version cut to the original song...I always thought the origianl version would turn out a great video too....

"if this was an Eminem video everyone would be applauding him. However, it's an ok pg-13 video that shows a girl doing things she's not supposed to by our cultures standards. No, I don't advocate violence but I appreciate seeing a girl kick booty instead of being the victim. Great song, interesting video. If you have a problem seeing a video where girls are not sex objects then don't buy it. If you have a problem with men being taken advantage of by a woman, don't buy it. Personally, I love it!"
THERE IS ONLY THE VIDEO MIX ON THE U.S. RELEASE OF THIS DVD

"I just want to correct a previous review's comment. This DVD single (a Region 1 release) only contains the Video & "Above & Beyond" video mix. The Region 2 DVD contains more. Thanks."
What can one say but....MADONNA

"Madonna has never disappointed when it comes to controversy. Her video for "What It Feels Like For A Girl" is no exception. It has an energetic dance remix and an intense video to match. Of course, Madonna looks beautiful and the message of female empowerment is evident in the most in-your-face way! The violence isn't strong enough to justify its banning, but what can I say, some people can't handle stuff like this without trying it themselves. I definitely recommend this DVD! It's Madonna, enough said."
Amazing Video!

"This truly is an amazing video. I'm so happy that Madonna decided to release the Paul Oakenfold Mix as the video single release - it's such a great mix...
I'm usually not big on DVD singles, but this is a must own for any Madonna fan!"
