Madonna's catalogue of classic hits is sheer endless because she still has hits to this day.
This is the best pop song and video of all times
"Papa Don't Preach" is another vocal showcase for Madonna - girl could sing!
Papa Don’t Preach is another controversial pop gem 👌
Madonna released this video on March 3, 1989 only 6 years after the release of her 1983 debut album. It took a lot of courage and risk, and she took a lot of heat for speaking truth to power in this video for calling out the criminal justice system’s racial profiling of Blacks rooted in racism-well ahead of the BLM movement that began in 2013. She was also advocating here for mixed race relations, for multiculturalism and for racial harmony. She has consistently used her artistry throughout her career as a platform for her socio-political activism, her advocacy for rights, individual freedoms, including her support for humanitarian and other worthy causes. If you decide to continue covering Madonna and her vast videography, suggest you react to her messaging as well.
Exactly. This video was a wake up call to how racist America was (and sadly still is). Her Pepsi promo video showed a nostalgic, sanitized version of America that people wanted to believe in, but when the video dropped the next day, M stripped off the fake veneer and put a mirror to the America that really exists, and she took a lot of heat for it. Her bravery at that time, when so few artists dared to be political, is commendable. She stood up for people of colour and the queer community when very few people did so and it wasn’t ‘cool’ to be an ally. Her outspokenness has caused her to deal with so much criticism that she still gets to this day. Those of us who were there and remember are grateful for her sticking up for women, PoC and queer folx for over 40 years now. She’s a living legend and a hero to many
This is from 1989. She was 30 here. One of her best songs and videos of all time. This caused a lot of controversy at the time.
Sooooo many of Madonna's music videos are like mini movies, and this is just ONE of them. Even some of her live performances are like live movies
G'day it's Steven from down under
It's great to see younger generations enjoying the artistry of Madonna.
ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF POP!
Her voice in the live performance of Live to Tell in the 2006 Conessions Tour sent chills up my spine. She can sing well when she wants to
YES! Live to Tell will blow you away (especially live from CONFESSIONS tour or Blond Ambition tour)
You’ve started your Madonna journey on her fourth album.
Her first three albums were her paying her dues, learning the music industry inside and out and achieving the success she needed to negotiate more artistic control over her career.
Those first three albums made her famous.
The next a couple of albums made her infamous.
Then she just became an icon.
Like A Virgin into Like A Prayer live 1990 Blond Ambition Tour. The greatest moment in pop music!
Oh sweetie!! You’re reaction was perfect and genuine.
As a HUGE Madonna fan I loved your reaction to this song/video!
Some of her older ballads from 80's and 90s are great, Crazy For You, You'll See, Live To Tell, This Used To Be My Playground to name a few
You'd be surprised by many of her songs. Check out Frozen, True blue, Cherish, Express Yourself, r
Rain, Take a Bow, This Used to Be My Playground, and Live to Tell.
This is the video that made me a huge fan of Madonna. Best critic against racism and Klu Klux Klan
Pretty much her whole greatest hits album "The Immaculate Collection". Every song is awesome
This is from 1989
This is one of my favourite songs.
Thee Queen of Pop, Her Madgesty.
Adorei seu react viada longa a rainha Madonna ❤ . You're amazing congratulations for your reaction ❤. Brasil
The highly controversial accompanying music video for "Like a Prayer" was directed by Mary Lambert and was filmed in January 1989 at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, California, and at San Pedro Hills in San Pedro, California. Madonna wanted the video to be more provocative than anything she had done before. She wanted to address racism by having the video depict a mixed-race couple being killed by the Ku Klux Klan. But on further thinking she finalized on another provocative theme to keep with the song's religious connotations. Madonna would play the song over and over again, and wanted the visuals to display,
[T]his story of a girl who was madly in love with a black man, set in South, with this forbidden interracial love affair. And the guy she's in love with sings in a choir. So she's obsessed with him and goes to the church all the time. And then it turned into a bigger story, which was about racism and bigotry.
Lambert had a different visual aspect of the song on her mind. She felt that it was more about ecstasy, especially a sexual one, and how it related to religious ecstasy. She listened to the song with Madonna a number of times and together decided to include the ecstasy part on the video. A sub-plot about Madonna as a homicide witness was included, which became the trigger for the sexual and religious ecstasy. Leon Robinson was hired to play the role of a saint; the part was inspired by Martin de Porres, the patron saint of mixed-race people and all those seeking interracial harmony. The video was filmed over four days, with an extra day allotted for re-shooting some of the scenes. Originally, Lambert had casts taken of Robinson's face, hand, and feet to create the statue of the saint which would be used as a decoration. Robinson only enacted the live scenes. However, during post-production, Lambert found that the statue did not look like Robinson, who was asked to re-shoot the respective scenes. He had to act as the statue and required special make-up for the re-takes. Robinson recalled that standing like a statue was difficult since "first of all, I didn't realize how hard it is on the back to stand absolutely tall and straight and not move. Secondly, as a performer you have this nervous energy-and my requirements here were total antithesis of that". Throughout the video, Madonna wears a cleavage-baring slip dress as outerwear, then seen as a provocative choice. The piece was chosen by costume designer Marlene Stewart for its atypical structure, as the dress was made for Natalie Wood to be worn under a costume.
The video begins with Madonna witnessing a young white woman being assaulted and murdered by a group of white men, but she is too shocked to protest. A black man walking down the alley also sees the crime and runs to help the dying woman, but the murderers flee just as the police arrive. They mistakenly suspect the black man of being guilty and arrest him. The real murderers give a threatening look towards Madonna and leave. She flees the crime scene and escapes to a church for safety. There, she sees a caged statue of a saint who resembles the black man on the street. As the song starts, she utters a prayer in front of the statue which appears to be crying.
Madonna lies down on a pew and has a dream in which she is falling through space. Suddenly, a woman, representing power and strength, catches her. She advises Madonna to do what is right and tosses her back up to the heavenly blue sky. Still dreaming, Madonna returns to the statue, which transforms into the black man she had seen earlier. He kisses her forehead and leaves the church as she picks up a knife and accidentally cuts herself, making the sign of stigmata on her hands. Interspersing scenes show Madonna singing and dancing wildly in front of burning crosses, kissing scenes between her and the saint, and Madonna being surrounded by a choir inside the church, led by the woman who caught her earlier. Madonna wakes up, goes to the jail and tells the police that she had witnessed the crime and that the black man is innocent; the police release him. The video ends as Madonna dances in front of the burning crosses, and then everybody involved in the story line take a bow as curtains come down on the set.
Valencia - it's pop perfection. One of the best pop songs ever. Listen a few more times, it will become infectious. The video released 25 years ago about racial injustice was so scandalous pepsi who signed on to promote her tour cancelled and only aired their Madonna Pepsi commercial with the song and different video, twice - the first time worldwide to like 250 mil people. She was also excommunicated by the catholic church, so ridiculous now. Check out her performing it during the blond ambition tour or with Cee-Lo when she was the super bowl half time show.
👑
1989 is when it came out!
Please react to Madonna "Papa Don't Preach"
This video was a SCANDAL back in the day, she lost a Pepsi commercial due to it.
In an effort to avoid bad press, Pepsi pulled the pricey ad featuring “Like A Prayer” despite the fact that it meant letting Madonna keep the $5 million advance. Almost every TV station refused to air the music video, except for MTV, which played it regularly. The Pepsi video did play at least once just before the video came out and HUGE controversy came and Pepsi cancelled all but Madonna's 5-mil $$$ advance in the late 80s. That would be over 12 1/2 mil $$$ today.
Take A Bow....Papa Don't Preach ...Live To Tell ..Secret Vogue..a song called Nothing Fails features an amazing choir section ...
Her videos and her live shows always have such powerful stories and messages ..Madonna is brave ..she was fearless ..she doesn't get the credit she deserves ..but her fans know it ..go on a Madonna journey ..you won't be disappointed
When she released the single and album Like A Virgin it catapulted her to pop stardom. Later Crazy For You earned her a Grammy nomination for best female pop vocal performance in 1986. But it was won by of course the one and only Whitney Houston. So she was definitely been recognise for her singing talent. Other songs to be noted: Papa Don’t Preach, Live To Tell, La Isla Bonita, Express Yourself, Secret, Take A Bow, Frozen … etc.
Masterpiece 👑
❤❤❤❤
Great reaction! ❤ Please react to more Madonna. She has a very diverse bunch of songs and videos that I believe you will enjoy. 💯
Its Like A Play😏
This is probably one of the top 5 pop songs of all time. Way ahead of its time in terms of the song and video. Displaying racial injustice that we still see today.
If you liked this one I highly suggest the power of goodbye
yep! 100% recommend!
1989
1988 it was out

@@johngalvin9927 Like a Prayer" is a song by American singer Madonna from her 1989 fourth studio album of the same name. It was released as the album's lead single on March 3, 1989, by Sire Records. Written and produced by both Madonna and Patrick Leonard, the song heralded an artistic and personal approach to songwriting for Madonna, who believed that she needed to cater more to her adult audience. Thematically, the song speaks about a passionate young girl in love with God, who becomes the only male figure in her life.

Madonna rarely, if ever, repeats herself. All her albums are completely different musical genres so no, there are no more songs like this. But then, what do you mean by "like this"? Similar sound/vibe/theme/vocal/genre/politics/religious iconography? She is a pioneer in inclusive representation in music videos for marginalised communities such as gays, blacks, hispanics.
For uplifting with a choir, try Nothing Fails (2003), and Come Alive (2019).
For black politics/representation try Batuka (2019), Secret (1994), Vogue (1990), Ghosttown (2015), Dark Ballet (2019), and Live to Tell (from Confessions concert tour 2006).
This is my first ever madonna video. I was 4 when it premiered. Madonna got a lot of backlash from this video. She had a sponsorship and commercial from Pepsi they took off the commercial and took the sponsorship. Madonna, of course, angered the Catholic church because of all the religious imagery and kissing a black Jesus. To this day, she doesn't get the credit, but madonna was so ahead of her time. The video premiered in 1989, and even then, Madonna brought to light the relationship the black community, especially black men, had with the police. The video was about madonna witnessing a rape and murder but the police thought it was done by the black man because he was there. Madonna struggles to tell the truth because she is threatened by the real murderers. In the end, she tells the police and the man is set free. The video was suppose to preach about doing the right thing no matter but at that time all anyone could focus on was the fact she was dancing in front of burning crosses and kissing a black Jesus. The true message of the video had been lost on everyone because of the times, but madonna talked about these things well before Goerge Floyd and even Rodney King and Malice Green. This is why, as a black man, I have so much love and respect for Madonna. I believe madonna was 32 in the video.
Wow thank you so much for that breakdown! I had a feeling that’s what was happening but I wasn’t sure so I didn’t feel right saying it. Looking back I wish I did but that makes me have so much respect too!
For videos that look like Movies Bad Girl, Oh Father, from Madonna.
Please react to Madonna, and Swae Lee " Crave " ❤. It's 🔥

Please react to Like a Virgin Truth or Dare Blond Ambition Tour, its so stunning, greeting from Panama, thanks.💋💓❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎👍💪🙏
hello this video is from 1989
The video is about racial injustice.
Yes, but it was also seen as mocking the Catholic Church and their symbology like the Black Saint statue and kissing her, the stigmata of nail woulds of Jesus on her hands and more. She was raised Catholic and a member and went to Catholic school. The Church ex-communicated her for her sins against the Church in a mock. That was a also a huge controversy.
