This generation sleep on Madonna, but she was that "It Girl " in the 80s unapologetic! Bad girl! Break all the rules! Who didn't what to be Madonna back in the 80s. #80s4life 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤
The good news is lot of young and old still follow her. Her recent album Madame X reach number one in the US and hit big in other countries last year. She still got it but I do miss Madonna in the 80s the most 🥰
@@ChrisOliver4307 Right? Upon reflection, it seems like some of the giants in Pop took turns throughout the 80s. Michael Jackson's Thriller singles and multiples side projects' output slowed to a crawl in 1985-86 while Madonna's stuff marinated and matured (and her superstar status was cemented with the hit movie, Desperately Seeking Susan) during that same time. Then, when MJ came back with the Bad LP, Madonna slowed down for a minute, herself, with nothing new for all of 1988. Then, as MJ's Bad-era singles slowed to a trickle, she busted out with Like a Prayer in the Summer of 1989. Heck, even in 1991 and 1995, Michael Jackson wasn't competing with Madonna's new LPs. Apart from her first two albums coinciding with the rein of Thriller, they kinda stayed off of each other's toes after a while... possibly to avoid direct competition.
This is homage to Marilyn Monroe’s song, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. Madonna modelled her image on Marilyn Monroe for a long time. In the movie Moulin Rouge, Satine sings a “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend/Material Girl” mashup.
Did you see the Sticky and Sweet version of Borderline? I hear mental health professionals are using that song as an example of what feelings a borderline personality disorder person evokes in a relationship.
As stated already by other subscribers, she is paying homage to the iconic film star Marilyn Monroe in a movie she did called "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" which was apropos cuz Madonna WAS likened to being the "Marilyn" of the current generation. Her music developed over time as she evolved with many songs for you to discover here. She fully deserves icon status.
As a teen I really wanted that white outfit she had on at the end of the video 😂. You should definitely check out Get into the Groove, Lucky Star and Holiday.
One of my fave Madonna songs! Love this woman, since I was a tween, wearing lace in my hair and tons of black jelly bracelets. She is amazing, what a career!
I remember all the controversy when Papa Don't Preach came out. I remember it being on Good Morning America or something. Different times, but she was the shit!
So quintessentially 80s but still reads fresh. Infectous song, she is so beautiful and the camera just loves her, and the video is so clever and well produced
Madonna's Best imo: 1) Take a Bow 2) Beautiful Stranger 3) Vogue 4) Open Your Heart 5) What it Feels Like for a Girl 6) Amazing 7) Crazy for You 8) La Isla Bonita 9) Live to Tell 10) Get Into the Groove
@@ilymal835 If you knew about her progression in the music industry, you'd know that she was extremely aggressive in her absolute desire to become 'rich and famous'. She's given numerous interviews regarding how she would have meetings with music industry titans, mostly men, and she would always resort to sexual favours to the individual that could further progress her music career. She made no bones about using/abusing her body in order to 'get' what she was looking for in fame and fortune. This song was about the true nature of women in general and about herself in particular.
It makes me so happy to see you bopping along to this song!! Madonna has said that the video is ironic, in the sense that the "material girl" character that you see on the set (serving full Marilyn Monroe movie star glamour) is a role that the real character is playing, who states in her dressing room at the beginning of the video that her current beau is "trying to impress me by giving me expensive gifts." So the idea is that the "material girl" is really not a material girl. You honestly can't go wrong with Madonna, from her earlier videos such as "Borderline" or "Lucky Star" to some of her biggest hits in the 80's, including "Papa Don't Preach", "Open Your Heart", "Express Yourself" or "Cherish". She made some of her most beautiful, provocative and mind-blowing videos in the 90's, such as "Erotica", "Rain", "Bad Girl", "Bedtime Story", "Human Nature" and "Frozen" (to name just a few). And some of her most recent work is definitely worth checking out as well ("Medellin", "Dark Ballet" and "God Control" come to mind). Thank you for putting a big smile on my face this evening! I always look forward to your reactions, but it's particularly exciting when you pick some of my favorite artists!
Fun reaction to a fun song! The dance number in Madonna's video is a near copy of Marilyn Monroe's performance of "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" in the 1953 film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
After this song became a huge hit, she was dubbed The Material Girl in the media, and then regretted recording it - because she meant the song ironically. She rarely will perform it in concert anymore but it's a bop.
Jay- please listen to her song “Live to tell.” It was a bit later- I think you’ll like some of her latter songs even more- “Live to tell” is a great song- The vibe, lyrics and all- 💜✌️✨
Nailed it again! Her song Ray of Light was one of her biggest hits and a whole new musical direction for her into EDM, synth and trip hop, and had a more introspective and mystical feel to it. The album won four Grammys. You're gonna dig!
With hair brushes? A la Joan Cusack to Melanie Griffith in Working Girl? Best revenge movie ever and Harrison Ford was HOT! Great soundtrack from Carly Simon too. One of my faves.
The video is taken from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell from 1953. One of my favourites. The outfit at the end that Madonna is wearing was ahead of its time and was copied thousands/ millions of times over. Madonna - setting music and fashion trends since 1980s.
One of my favorite movies of the 80s: Desperately Seeking Susan. She’s the title character, a material girl whose heart still belonged to the poor punk rock musician. Definitely a fun romp. 🍿
I'd love you to give Marilyn Monroe songs a try... "river of no return", " diamonds are a girls best friend" and "my heart belongs to daddy" are a few of my favorites.. I'm a HUGE Marilyn Fan. Love her movies. Wish I born into that era!
Yes!! Comin thru with classic 1985 hit! THANKYOU for doing this one. This is one of her signature songs. They never stopped calling her the Material Girl ☺️
💘 this song! My other favorite Madonna songs are "Holiday" "Borderline" "Into The Groove" "Cherish" "This Used To Be My Playground" "Rain" "Express Yourself"...
Madonna not even at her peak here but you can see her legend already. Always the Queen. So happy to see you enjoying this one. Do more Madonna, into the groove next. I enjoy your reactions, they are relaxing. Thank you.
I think you understood the meaning behind the song, things given from the heart are the best.Mum and Dad loved the cards and gifts that were hand made by us (8 children, no pocket money to speak of for years). We found them all after they passed away, they were all packed away in a box bless them. I liked the older music by Madonna and I love Papa don't Preach its my favourite along with Ls Isla Bonita. Take care and stay safe please everyone, God bless you all love hugs and peace Mary-Ellen UK
This is basically her signature song. This was a monstrous hit back in the 80s. She's channeling Marilyn Monroe in the video, who did a scene almost exactly like this in one of her movies.
Iconic music video. She elevated the art form with every video she was putting out. So cool to see you discovering her work "For the very first time..."

80s were Madonna, no doubt about it..she was all over mtv, and this video started it all..couldn't get enough of her jams..her greatest hits is a must have j.
Madonna is so genius and iconic that she acomplished the same myth level of Marylin Monroe and for me surpassed it, because she is known as the most successful and influential women of all time in artist industry and Marylin of course was also but more for the fragile side instead Madonna for her strong personality, curious what two different women accomplished each one with their own personality. By the way, Madonna was the only female artist to dare imitate/recreate Marylin visuals or influences (this performance, Material Girl video, her True Blue video and all the videos of True Blue era) without being vulgar and not only she did that with style, but she also surpassed that concept: one strong woman (Madonna) imitating and tooking inspiration of the most legendary woman of artistic industry until that time (Marylin Monroe which was fragile) and then synthesizing that by taking control of the fragile woman concept and creating and constructing herself a NEW WOMAN idea and concept she made something unique concepting a new kind of WOMAN for the masses more confident, strong and with a same level of credibility as a man, on that she surpassed Marylin Monroe, so here you have the uniqueness of Madonna, that's why she is such a Genius! Marylin died and probably when Madonna dies she will be more mythical than Marylin because we all know when an artist dies they stand even more popular and culturally influent, imagine with Madonna she already is a myth, a superstar and a Legend so imagine when she dies! She will be remembered as the Greatest between the greatests! Love
Okay I love Madonna n I love how ur into music! I just subscribed. Ok ur gorgeous but ur channel makes sense! Love it can't wait to see other réactions! 😉🙃
That guy is Kieth Carradine. He’s one member of a famous acting family. His father was a great character actor. His brother is David Carradine from the 1970s tv show Kung Fu... “Snatch the pebble from my hand, grasshopper.” David is also known for Kill Bill.
It's taken me a few days to begin my catch-up of your posts, J. I wanted to keep up to date but, for one reason or another, couldn't. Anyway, I think Madonna really showed her voice in her movie, 'Evita', where she starred with Antonio Banderas. Perhaps try the official music video, 'Don't cry for me Argentina'. The movie is about Argentina and the peoples' revolution, but Madonna did herself proud both musically and dramatically in that. x
No female artist will ever have a career like Madonna or the impact. She created pop culture . Hope you react to many more Madonna songs gee he has soo many hits. According to billboard in 2018 she has ranked as the 2nd most successful artist behind the Beatles on the hot 100 singles chart. With 12 no.1 hits, 28 top 5 hits, 38 top 10 hits, 44 top 20 hits and 57 top 100 hits it’s not hard to see why
What I love are the bits in between the obvious Marilyn tribute where she's obviously NOT interested in the material stuff - the expensive gifts etc - lovely contrast ^-^ And, of course, the kicker is the little bit in the very beginning - where HE is the owner of the studio that she's shooting the video in! Love the bit where her current rich guy throws his keys to him - thinking that he's a hired help because of the way he's dressed - Love it!!
That guy is Keith Carradine, brother of David Carradine, “Kung foo”, and his song, “I’m Easy”, won the Oscar and Golden Globe award for best original song in 1975!
Madonna actually had a very strict Catholic upbringing with old-fashioned values and she was very shy! She was also a genius in marketing herself and knew what would sell. She said once in an interview that her music and costumes or how she presented herself was only to sell her music and not necessarily representative of what she believed, who she was or how she lived her life. She was very old-fashioned in many ways but knew how to make money.
Fun fact for those who may not know but I’m sure most of you do her first husband Sean Penn and Madonna met on the side of this video. He was filming a movie on the same lot and wanted to meet her and that is how they ended up together all because of this video.
For variety- Try Madonna: Like A Prayer, This Used to Be My Playground, Deeper and Deeper, Say Goodbye, Ray of Light, Hanky Panky and Music....you will get a sense of how she is one of music’s ultimate chameleons.
Fantastic satire as pop music because by that third verse it is Madonna who is rich and the men who are expecting her to do something for her. And as others have said, the 'movie within the video' is based off of Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend" from the excellent movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (also a commentary on materialistic society). Madonna has said the song was a curse for a long while as many didn't get the inherent satire of the song and especially of the video and labelled her materialistic and selfish and just out for fame, but that sort of stuff has always followed her. "cause I am ma material girl" is such an incredible hook.
Madonna really was brilliant when it came to her videos in the 80s and 90s, she always left you wondering what she was going to do next. The genius of this video is its reference. It was a modernized reinterpretation of Marilyn Monroe performing Diamonds are a Girl's Best friend in the 1953 comedy film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Monroe's character is a gold digger but an arguably sensible one. You should react to it for comparisons sake! For the materialistic 80s, it was kind of a perfect anthem 🙃🤭
Madonna has shown so much growth as an artist and her career from the 1980's to current times. To show off some of that change and growth I suggest these. 1990's: (upbeat): Ray of Light, Beautiful Stranger, 1990's (somber, but exquisitely so): Frozen, You'll See, The Power of Goodbye 2000's (upbeat): Music, Don't Tell Me, Beautiful Scars, and Deeper and Deeper. I know you will get plenty of suggestions from the 1980's, so I have only a handful of suggestions, but they are quite powerful. 1980's (these are quite personal to her and deal with her mothers death, her anger with her father and the second one is trying to keep her mothers spirit alive inside her.) Oh Father and Promise to Try. 1980's (somber, but exquisitely so): Love Don' Live Here Anymore and This Used to Be My Playground. 1980's (early performances): Everybody - Live at Danceteria [1982]) This was one year before the release of her first album. Like A Virgin at the 1984 MTV VMA Awards - This performance really put everyone on notice that she, (to borrow your phrase), didn't come to play. Finally Live Aid (yes, she was there). She performed Into The Groove, Holiday and Love Makes The World Go Round - she was a bit breathless on this one as she was running everywhere and wearing a heavy outfit, but she did get some vocal help from Nile Rodgers (also guitar) and Tom from the Thompson Twins. She returned the favor to Thompson Twins doing backing vocals on their cover of Revolution at the same event. The crazy thing about the song, Love Makes The World Go Round is that it was due to be released on an album that wouldn't be out until a year later.
When we married I didn't have the $5 for the license. Anybody who would marry me when I had no money was a keeper. That was 50 years ago. We're still married and retired. The bonus was her name "Maryjane".

@Erik Blaine Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it !
@Alijah Quentin happy to help :)
I can't believe I was 15 when this came out and I turned 50 this year. And she's still going.
I love her. Borderline and Lucky Star are early Madonna when she just came out.
Both are really great, Borderline a little better for me.
And what about Holiday?? :)
Holiday too. I think that was her first. In the UK at least.
@@frosksdeadteeth5163 Yes, I think over here too (The Netherlands). I was an instant fan at 15.
And don't forget about Burning Up. But my favorite of the 1st album era is Borderline.
Where to start with Madonna..my fave era for her music was the 80s stuff.."Crazy For You" is beautiful. "Borderline" was great too.
yes crazy for you!!
Did you see the Sticky and Sweet version of Borderline? I hear mental health professionals are using that song as an example of what feelings a borderline personality disorder person evokes in a relationship.
Crazy for you ultimate love song

Live to Tell is a must to enjoy her real beauty and her voice. My favorite. 😍😍
Try her "Get Into The Groove" !!!!! Scenes are from the movie "Desperately Seeking Susan" 1985
YES!!
As a teen I really wanted that white outfit she had on at the end of the video 😂. You should definitely check out Get into the Groove, Lucky Star and Holiday.
Yeah, I love her early stuff.
One of my fave Madonna songs! Love this woman, since I was a tween, wearing lace in my hair and tons of black jelly bracelets. She is amazing, what a career!
the two songs I like the most are:
"Live to Tell" and "papa dont preach".
"Live to Tell" the best of all for me.
I remember all the controversy when Papa Don't Preach came out. I remember it being on Good Morning America or something. Different times, but she was the shit!
I agree. Live to Tell is amazing along with This Used to be my Playground
I love Madonna’s ballads
So quintessentially 80s but still reads fresh. Infectous song, she is so beautiful and the camera just loves her, and the video is so clever and well produced
Hope you do ones like *La Isla Bonita* so you hear her lovely voice. Or *Crazy For You*

Already did that one lol

Whether you love her or hate her she always kept it interesting 👆🏻
Many of Madonna’s songs could be interpreted as satire, that is, this song could be interpreted as a criticism of the material world. You nailed it!
Or...a critique on intrinsic female behaviour.
@@elmoomle4565 - i like that interpretation better but don’t say it too loudly 🤫
Wow.

Please react to her "Rain" music video 😍
Absolute 80’s Icon.
Another great is Dress you up!
Nailed it again! Her song Ray of Light was one of her biggest hits and a whole new musical direction for her into EDM, synth and trip hop, and had a more introspective and mystical feel to it. The album won four Grammys. You're gonna dig!
Please review Into the Groove, also by Madonna.
We used to dress up like her and lip sync to this song!
With hair brushes? A la Joan Cusack to Melanie Griffith in Working Girl? Best revenge movie ever and Harrison Ford was HOT! Great soundtrack from Carly Simon too. One of my faves.
The video is taken from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell from 1953. One of my favourites. The outfit at the end that Madonna is wearing was ahead of its time and was copied thousands/ millions of times over. Madonna - setting music and fashion trends since 1980s.
One of my favorite movies of the 80s: Desperately Seeking Susan. She’s the title character, a material girl whose heart still belonged to the poor punk rock musician. Definitely a fun romp. 🍿
Madonna.. was.. fine.. back in the 80s. I picked a great time to start puberty, son!
The material girl. That's what they called her after this song came out. She is amazing artist. So many hits. Love Madonna.
I'd love you to give Marilyn Monroe songs a try... "river of no return", " diamonds are a girls best friend" and "my heart belongs to daddy" are a few of my favorites.. I'm a HUGE Marilyn Fan. Love her movies. Wish I born into that era!
Tropical Heatwave
Yay! More Madonna! Her videos were so much fun. For a change of pace try Live to Tell, one of her best ballads
Yes!! Comin thru with classic 1985 hit! THANKYOU for doing this one. This is one of her signature songs. They never stopped calling her the Material Girl ☺️
And you're also the only youtube reactor that I've seen who actually predicted and understood the ending of this videos story. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Hard to put in words how big Madonna was. She ruled MTV and the
airwaves in the day. Love her or hate her, she broke barriers. 🎵❤️
I'm not a huge Madonna fan but I just love her song "Crazy for you" It's in the same time period of Material Girl. It will show you her softer side
So many people were shocked at this. Oh well 😃 I love that she ignored the critics.
Yes, you got that right. She couldn’t care less what they said & welcomed the publicity good or bad 👍🏻
One of my favorite Madonna songs is "Frozen". I also love "Get Into The Groove".
Thank you for playing Madonna again JV! 🥰
Can you play “Burning Up” from her please?

That guy is Kieth Carradine. He’s one member of a famous acting family. His father was a great character actor. His brother is David Carradine from the 1970s tv show Kung Fu... “Snatch the pebble from my hand, grasshopper.” David is also known for Kill Bill.
It's taken me a few days to begin my catch-up of your posts, J. I wanted to keep up to date but, for one reason or another, couldn't.
Anyway, I think Madonna really showed her voice in her movie, 'Evita', where she starred with Antonio Banderas.
Perhaps try the official music video, 'Don't cry for me Argentina'. The movie is about Argentina and the peoples' revolution, but Madonna did herself proud both musically and dramatically in that. x
Definitely one of Madonna's best!
Lol, i love this woman. What a song catalog!
Still one if not THE BEST- Girls run the world song & video EVER!! *ICONIC ON ALL LEVELS*
No female artist will ever have a career like Madonna or the impact. She created pop culture .
Hope you react to many more Madonna songs gee he has soo many hits. According to billboard in 2018 she has ranked as the 2nd most successful artist behind the Beatles on the hot 100 singles chart. With 12 no.1 hits, 28 top 5 hits, 38 top 10 hits, 44 top 20 hits and 57 top 100 hits it’s not hard to see why
One of the best 80s songs of all time Mike and the Mechanics Silent Running
What I love are the bits in between the obvious Marilyn tribute where she's obviously NOT interested in the material stuff - the expensive gifts etc - lovely contrast ^-^ And, of course, the kicker is the little bit in the very beginning - where HE is the owner of the studio that she's shooting the video in! Love the bit where her current rich guy throws his keys to him - thinking that he's a hired help because of the way he's dressed - Love it!!
The theory about this song is not about expensive gift jewellery what it is about the sincerity of the heart❤️❤️🌹🌹💝💝
That guy is Keith Carradine, brother of David Carradine, “Kung foo”, and his song, “I’m Easy”, won the Oscar and Golden Globe award for best original song in 1975!
The world needs more music like this... On honest topics
I was a 80s kid the music the fun was awesome.i luv your reaction keep it up
Or try John Newman : love me again
Or Eric CLAPTON : Tears in heaven
Live To Tell is one of her best songs.
with Madonna everything is more deeper than people think. You only see what your eyes want to see.
Always loved her earlier hits although some of her later one are good, I just preferred her earlier hits.😎👌
Madonna actually had a very strict Catholic upbringing with old-fashioned values and she was very shy! She was also a genius in marketing herself and knew what would sell. She said once in an interview that her music and costumes or how she presented herself was only to sell her music and not necessarily representative of what she believed, who she was or how she lived her life. She was very old-fashioned in many ways but knew how to make money.
This is Madonna mimicking Marilyn Monroe diamonds are a girl's Best Friend
Fun fact for those who may not know but I’m sure most of you do her first husband Sean Penn and Madonna met on the side of this video. He was filming a movie on the same lot and wanted to meet her and that is how they ended up together all because of this video.
For variety- Try Madonna: Like A Prayer, This Used to Be My Playground, Deeper and Deeper, Say Goodbye, Ray of Light, Hanky Panky and Music....you will get a sense of how she is one of music’s ultimate chameleons.
I was 5 when this came out. I didn’t understand it back then ... I watched it on MTV ... but I didn’t get it. Then ... as I grew up ... I got it 💋
Fantastic satire as pop music because by that third verse it is Madonna who is rich and the men who are expecting her to do something for her. And as others have said, the 'movie within the video' is based off of Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend" from the excellent movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (also a commentary on materialistic society). Madonna has said the song was a curse for a long while as many didn't get the inherent satire of the song and especially of the video and labelled her materialistic and selfish and just out for fame, but that sort of stuff has always followed her. "cause I am ma material girl" is such an incredible hook.
Madonna really was brilliant when it came to her videos in the 80s and 90s, she always left you wondering what she was going to do next.
The genius of this video is its reference. It was a modernized reinterpretation of Marilyn Monroe performing Diamonds are a Girl's Best friend in the 1953 comedy film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Monroe's character is a gold digger but an arguably sensible one. You should react to it for comparisons sake!
For the materialistic 80s, it was kind of a perfect anthem 🙃🤭
Madonna has shown so much growth as an artist and her career from the 1980's to current times. To show off some of that change and growth I suggest these.
1990's: (upbeat): Ray of Light, Beautiful Stranger,
1990's (somber, but exquisitely so): Frozen, You'll See, The Power of Goodbye
2000's (upbeat): Music, Don't Tell Me, Beautiful Scars, and Deeper and Deeper.
I know you will get plenty of suggestions from the 1980's, so I have only a handful of suggestions, but they are quite powerful.
1980's (these are quite personal to her and deal with her mothers death, her anger with her father and the second one is trying to keep her mothers spirit alive inside her.)
Oh Father and Promise to Try.
1980's (somber, but exquisitely so): Love Don' Live Here Anymore and This Used to Be My Playground.
1980's (early performances): Everybody - Live at Danceteria [1982]) This was one year before the release of her first album. Like A Virgin at the 1984 MTV VMA Awards - This performance really put everyone on notice that she, (to borrow your phrase), didn't come to play. Finally Live Aid (yes, she was there). She performed Into The Groove, Holiday and Love Makes The World Go Round - she was a bit breathless on this one as she was running everywhere and wearing a heavy outfit, but she did get some vocal help from Nile Rodgers (also guitar) and Tom from the Thompson Twins. She returned the favor to Thompson Twins doing backing vocals on their cover of Revolution at the same event. The crazy thing about the song, Love Makes The World Go Round is that it was due to be released on an album that wouldn't be out until a year later.
80’s was considered the “age of excess” and this song and video epitomized that philosophy.
I grew up with madonna and she still great love ray of light frozen and take a bow ray of light is very fast paced great workout song
When we married I didn't have the $5 for the license. Anybody who would marry me when I had no money was a keeper. That was 50 years ago. We're still married and retired. The bonus was her name "Maryjane".
I mean, I wouldn’t have said no to that necklace either...
@CR055F1RE She is saying she would have accepted the necklace just like Madonna did.
She's got too many hits to choose just one. You nailed that video Jay.
