People say Madonna had it easy. I knew all along she had to do it the hard way. She had it harder than I thought. No wonder she wont stop whether she turns 70,80 or more in the future because she worked so hard to get to were she is now.
Am the same age as the Mad one, my life was way harder than her's ever was or will be. I guarantee she has had help that we aren't told about. Nothing to be admired that is for sure too bad so many can't see it.
She was on Top of the Pols and The Tube. I saw her there. I’m reading his book now. It’s very good. Don’t know how it ends but it’s very interesting and vivid.
Nobody owns anyone. If you want to get out of a contract and move on to another, you always can. There will be penalties, but you pay them and that's it, you're free to go. That's what Madonna did, and she always makes clear such as: "poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another" by Madonna.
I'm old enough to be her Dad,, I have 2 children approximately the same age and I remember seeing Madonna for the first time on MTV. For many years I couldn't stand her,, thought she was just another brash kid making a name for herself. Conversely (funny now that I look back) I was a fan of Michael Jackson and Prince because they were different,, like a fool I didn't see Madonna thru the same glasses. It was my oldest Son who convinced me to watch her videos and recognize her brilliance,, I did and WOW!! I finally understood WHY she was so popular,, she took artistry in music to a level never before seen. Now as an elder I am 100% a fan of Madonna because she flung open the doors of musical artistry by a female. She was "IN YOUR FACE!",, she was so unique many of folk from my generation, people in our late 70's thru mid 80's sadly missed, didn't understand what she did. When I hear of people now days bashing her I only smile because I know they don't 'get her'. GOD BLESS and keep Madonna safe. Her brilliance was/is boundless.
Don't worry too much, my dad didn't have a choice with a Madonna crazed 10yr old! Funny enough, he didn't like Prince but liked Michael & Madonna of course. I liked all 3, plus his music n my mums music and my brother's and I ended up with all their vinyls, plus my own! Lol. My Dad has only just discovered Amy Winehouse, it doesn't matter when you discover them, it's that you have and you love them!! Peace n Love Pops x
Name and fame aren’t everything in life. People always like to follow anything & everything which is trend. So people liking her was a trend. She abused her body and her inner peace to get to that point. We should love ourselves more than our fame and name. Who cares about our names and fames after our death? But inner peace is what we live for. I don’t like her. And I chose to not. Everyone has a choice to do things in his own way. But we should take care of our inner peace remember.
I don't understand it and thought she was immune to what is happening because she was reinventing herself successfully for decades, but in the last decade or so it seems she got lost looking backward instead of forward to who she would become next. I think Madonna would be a terrible friend, but you can't help but admire her drive and determination and the way she proved that you could come from nowhere and know no one and you could become infamous.
Lots of inaccuracies and the timeline depicted is sometimes all over the place. Also she wasn’t considered a mediocre dancer at university. You don’t get a partial scholarship to study dance at the University of Michigan for being mediocre, and her teachers were encouraging her to skip the rest of her college training and move to NYC to continue studying but more importantly to dance professionally.
You are exactly right. My sister, who was a dancer, went to college with her and hung out at the clubs in Detroit . My sister always said she was a fantastic dancer !! And told me a little bit about her character .
She is a great dancer or was. She dances in high heels as well at the Paris Olympics. Just her energy alone. Look how much she has packed into her life. Takes me all my time to do the ironing.
Then they dont know a lot about music culture ,but honestly ,with tiktok and everything, i dont blame them ,its just a bit sad in my opinion that some people ,not everyone of course ,dont know a lot of influencial singers from back in the day
Madonna has always been portrayed as a person who uses people then disposes them once she no longer needs them. I’ve never seen any documentary which disputes this characterization of her (including this one).
this was insightful, but chronologically a mess. how did they jump from the backlash of Justify My Love straight to Guy Ritchie like nothing else happened in between???? lol
My father informally knew Mr Ciccone, Madonna’s father. I remember my dad asking me if I knew who Madonna was. This was in the mid-80’s, so heck yeah I did! 🤣 Still a fun memory.
Wow, I feel bad for you. Madonna is a manufactured baphomet, and so endured horrific child abuse to the point that as a little boy, he desperately was forced to pretend to be a girl just to save his life. Only an evil father could do that. I don't know how many children were in the family, but Madonna seems to have a sister who is also a baphomet, who wants to be a man instead of a woman. Unless I have that wrong, and his "sister" is a man, who is pretending to be a woman wanting to be a man (maybe that's a new category of abuse victim?). If your father knew them .... then that can't be good. It means at the very least that he cannot differentiate between evil and good, foe and friend, and in my book, that's not a good parent. If you're in denial, then you cannot differentiate between evil and good either.
My mother went to high school with Madonna. When Madonna was at her height that’s when my mom told me and showed me her yearbook. That was so cool. My mom and her mom were born in Michigan so that’s how they went to HS together. Mom said she was kinda quiet but had that look like she was wild , trouble..
Madonna's journey is nothing short of incredible. From her humble beginnings to becoming a global icon, her story inspires countless individuals to pursue their dreams relentlessly. Her unwavering determination, creativity, and fearlessness have paved the way for her unparalleled success in the music industry. Madonna's ability to constantly reinvent herself while staying true to her vision sets her apart as a true trailblazer and legend. Truly, her story is a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and unwavering self-belief.
'She doesn't like to see people from her early days' How sad....she forgot where she came from, doesn't want ro know the original people who gave her a leg up😢
Name one "down to earth" icon then? Life puts people in your path, they aren't always designed to perpetual connections. No one is still friends with someone you knew for a couple of months 49yrs ago. That's life. Plenty of people are out here exploiting & abusing young artists.
that's not true, many people from her early days she's still in touch with. what a cruel thing to say. perhaps it's also a lot of bad memories she doesnt want to confront herself with such as the struggle, losing her mom and many family members at a young age, losing so many dear friends who had aids.. @@ShidachiOm
@@louiselouisethebestRight? She's been BFF's with Debi Mazer since she first moved to NY. Debi was her first makeup artist and helped develop her early style. She been friends with Rosie O'Donnell since the early 90's. She kept the same publicist, Liz Rosenberg since the early 80's. She only cuts out people who betray her. Like her brother Christopher.
Madonna danced with Alvin Ailey and Pearl Lang. She was Lang's star dancer at Spoleto (kinda like the World Series of Modern Dance). She earned a dance scholar ship to the University of Michigan...etc.. so the framing of her as a mediocre dancer is bs. She was defintely gifted in that department.
This "documentary" is full of inaccuracies that follows the old sexist narrative used by other labels. Imagine having such an amazing background as a professional dancer and it being reduced to something like this.. So.. imagine what else they'll make up that isn't easily proven to discredit her
Right. This video gets a lot wrong. University of Michigan was not handing out dance scholarships like candy, even back then. And some of her dance teachers were encouraging her to try her hand in New York which they wouldn’t be encouraging without good reason.
I was born in 1958, same as Madonna. We are 66 this year. In 1984, Madonna had her first No. 1 hit, Like a Virgin. One morning that year, I was driving to work listening to it on the radio, and while the male DJ was announcing the song, he said that he thought Madonna was ugly. I was shocked to hear him say it. At that time, I didn't think Madonna was beautiful, but I also didn't think she was ugly. I thought she was attractive enough, and yes, a good dancer and entertainer. I knew she had a nose job before she became famous, but maybe all of the other extensive cosmetic treatments she's had as she grew older, including a Brazilian butt lift, were triggered by cruel comments like that.
L'une plus grande stars dès années 80 & 90 comme Michael Jackson (Madonna restera à la reine de la pop 20 siècle et 21 siècle elle a bcp galèrer pour réussi à ça façon elle s'est battu comme une guerrière pour ça elle est toujours là même ça tournée Célèbration tour 12 ème de sa carrière.
“He’s no longer in touch with [her] not because of any falling out but because she doesn’t like to see people from her early days.” Translation: she doesn’t give a crap about the people who helped her get to the top.
This is called human idolatry. You don't love her because you don't even know her on a personal level. You Adore her. You should try to fill that God Void with YHWH , not a celebrity.
Madonna,s voice inspired me to be happy, especiallyuplifting me during tough times. Anyone who says Madonna can't sing, hasn't listened to the purity of her interpretations. She sang from her heart, and not from her bank account. Her voice reflected her feelings, and her art. The res a reason she became so famous. She had courage. The courage to say what she wanted. But the voice and the interpretation are first rate. Madonna isa Superstar. She practically created the word Superstar. So the negativity is what is wrong with people. Not what is wrong with Madonna.People who wake up to come for Madonna, are the same people that complain when they win the lottery, and spend all their money on drugs. It isn't the lottery that fails them, it's the drugs. Haters , go back and listen to Madonna,s work in the context of the tines it was created, and put your shoulders back and admire a great artist. Until you can do as well with your art, you have no room to complain. Now grow up and find someone to uplift for a change. You are not the critical auteur of artists abilities you believe yourself to be. more like a concierge of doom at a Holiday inn.
Yeah but there's such a thing as at least showing appreciation and respect for those who have helped you on your way up, EVEN in the music business - in that way she seems very much another Meghan Markle...
I can't believe none of the comments are talking about her musical genius. Music and Confessions are masterpieces of our generation. Not to mention the hits before and after. A true superstar not only in the studio, but most certainly on stage. 🙌
I was a teen when she came pit. Couldn't stand her, her music, her looks, or anything she stood for. I still can't stand her, but at least I pity her now lol
Madonna has changed history forever - so whether you like it or not, get over it…She also did it herself and didn’t have daddy like Beyoncé who’s revered beyond belief for no reason lmaooo
She just used sex to farther her career and also provocative stage performances, she is a lousy singer. As I say if you have a star in your life you can shine regardless of talent. She pushed her way and climb up the ladder
WOW, am I the only one who TOTALLY disagrees with her brother's assessment of the scene at her mother's graveside? Like, excuse YOU, dude, the ENTIRETY of the rest of HER life has been in the public eye. It probably didn't feel like an odd thing to share a rare but deeply personal moment with her fans for the sake of catharticism. In what universe does Madonna need to reach for attention? If anything she has to fight for any privacy!
I had three services for my father 😅 one in Santa Rosa at the church I attended at that time, one at a Methodist church which he attended and one at the gravesite. I had friends in each location and wanted them to be able to attend. We all grieve the loss of a parent in our own way. 😅
It only became an issue to her brother once they were at odds with one another. Her brother is proof that your family can be jealous of you and turn on you like a complete stranger can. Her brother was a coke head that she cut off because of all of his partying and wild sex parties. Now he finds her acts bothersome!? Notta
Uhm. In her situation at the time. What do you think you would choose yourself?? To listen to those around her, those who would turn her into the super star, the thing she wanted the most in life, OR NOT listen to them, and maybe not reach her goal? Don’t be so quick to judge someone you have never met, at least when you aren’t qualified to do so. Even if you actually are a psychologist/ psychiatrist, you still haven’t met her, had consultations…..have you?
Most of this film is crap. For a young woman to talk so tenderly about the loss of her mother, and how she understood as a child what that meant about God was not using her mom as a prop. It was expressing the grief and devastation of losing a parent and trying to work it out with a child's brain and emotions. Even after all these years, Madonna still honors her mother and talks about the love that is always there. And if she could change one thing, it would be to have her mother.
I'm Moroccan born in Belgium, I was 7 when she became famous and my Family used to call me mini-Madonna 😁 You couldn't see the wallpaper in my room, it was all Madonna posters and everyday I chose as which Madonna I would look like! I still don't understand how my muslim parents never said anything 😅 on the contrary my whole family loves Madonna. My uncles aunts cousins in Morocco they would all ask us to bring them Madonna posters and albums 😅 Good times! And I'm still one of her biggest fans 🥰♥️
No nepotism, no special connects. Sheer willpower, hard work, and determination. In a few short years a girl from nowhere becomes one of the most powerful artist of the century, standing next to Michael Jackson and Prince! The peanut gallery grows evermore idiotic with each passing year, this woman is going out as one of the most influential artist of the century. Madonna’s hand is literally on every single facet of modern society for poorer or better.
Two event organizer friends attest that shes the craziest most evil person they ever had to deal with. Famous singing only 1 octave really ... ridiculous.
This documentary has a LOT of inaccuracies and omissions. It left out her musical start with the Gilroys in The Breakfast Club, among other things. She did not start music with Patrick Hernandez. Her whole musical start was mischaracterized in this doc.
I agree, that Madonna never had the best voice, nor is she the greatest dancer, but at the beginning, the narrator said she was not particularly beautiful. Really? That's the something, along with her ambition, that she was gifted with. She was GORGEOUS in her youth, with amazing green eyes, a perfect complexion and excellent bone structure, facial symmetry, a heart shaped faced with good proportions. She looks like someone totally different now, unfortunately.
True, these days nothing is ever enough for anyone. It is like that fake redbull. You could end up with an overly mangled brain. Instant gratification, everything fast, fast, and fast.
It's interesting to consider this perspective. Madonna has been surviving media scrutiny for as long as I can remember; she's survived this little documentary too. The woman is a genius, a revolutionary, and to start a video with "she's not particularly beautiful, nor does she know how to dance anything special" is a poor way to grab attention. But why not, I'll watch it to the end simply because I love watching everything about Madonna; she's a freaking goddess for those who understand her.
@@TiaVaylik Oh that's so amazing! I was a bit worried there for a while! How was the concert, best you've ever seen???!!! I hope they do a film of it! I heard that she read all the mean comments on IG about her face and was so upset that she vowed to get back to how she used to look as best she can?! x
@pufache I came here for this comment! I thought it was a really good doc on her! There were things in there I didn't know and things they left out, like for instance, we fcuking loved Justify my Love, video and song over here in England! There was a special premier on tv channel4, it felt like a pay per view thing but this was on 1 of our 5 terrestrial channels and I was sat on the floor looking up at the tv with my fingers hovering over the rec button on the vhs player! Lol x
Mine too, and I remember my religious, Catholic grandmother, watching it with me, and saying one day I’ll understand what she’s talking about… It wasn’t dancing lol
🎶 🎵 I’m burning up, burning up for your love… 🎶 🎶 One of my favourites of her early tracks, I first heard aged 15 at an underage disco @1983 and still love it.
This is such a great video, lots of interesting footage and telling a positive life story of a great artist. Madonna entertained me for decades, she really did. It is remarkable that she reinvented herself so often captivating her audience time and again. I hope there is still a lot to come, real music and allowing us to listen to her beautiful skilful voice. Yes, all the glitz and glamour is interesting but it is really the slower ballads with emotional lyrics I enjoy most. So, if you read this Madonna, into the studio and record more please for us to enjoy. Our lives would not have been the same without your music and artistic spirit!
Very sad and devastating..for this lady who helped her get to the top..I think when you usher people to stardom.......do it with no expectations..cos most people as most humans will forget, they will hurt you ..do it expecting the universe to reward you...
The lady who ushered her to the top wasn't very explanatory. She didnt explain if there was a written contract between the two or what exactly what the business relationship they had was.
That lady sounds like a bitter old lesbian. I’ve seen other interviews where people said she was in love with Madonna (good for her, who cares, right?). 😂 Had Madonna not made the decisions she made, she would not be where she is today. People don’t get to the top by being nice to people. Madonna played everyone like a fiddle to get where she’s at and probably has zero regrets about it.
Re Madonna's body today,, you can't buy that body. She works for it,, deserves every taught muscle. Her dancer friend confirms she spends hours upon countless hours to maintain that body. Everyone knows eventually Mother Nature AND gravity will win the fight but as always Madonna will not quit on herself even tho many others have and will.
Agree that she sculpts her own body with hard work but lest we deny the amount of hellacious plastic surgery she’s turned to in the last many years. She will always be an icon but her face is becoming scary.
Crazy to think her being open about her pains and having different beliefs was seen like such a selfish or evil thing, even by her own family. Today it's normal. I can't imagine being a young woman in her times.
I have always loved Madonna. In her 50s she was so elegant. It saddens me the way she presents herself now. She should have allowed herself to age more naturally
I was a teenager during the 80s and I can assure you that she made it big with Lucky Star, not Like a Virgin - yes she became bigger with Like a Virgin as she has w every consecutive album up until the 2010s - it really is a shame with what she’s doing now, because she is destroying her brilliant legacy..she thinks in her delusion that she’s “pushing the envelope” like she did in her prime…but her glory days are over. She should retire gracefully and be happy and content with what she has achieved-instead people will now just think of her as a froot loop and forget the amazing achievements she did make.
@@karengarrison3666 I think her tour is doing quite well and she’s moved back to a more traditional (for her) and toned down look as far as I can tell based on clips. Different than the overly puffed up and weird missing eyebrows she had been doing.
She couldn’t give two shites about you. See what she said to someone in a wheelchair recently? She asked “why aren’t you standing?” And then saw they were in a wheelchair. She then gave a half hearted response. It’s disgusting.
Diana Ross was still performing 'Aint No Mountain High Enough' on live tv 8 years after the hit was released. It's no wonder these people make boat loads of cash
My two best friends in the 80s lived in Madonna's neighborhood. I spent a lot of time over there. It was like my second home. I never knew that she grew up there until last week.
@@alangeorge1661 no just on a family vacation and later on one of the dancers she had in truth or dare...also mutual friends too..also we both deault with maverick records too..used same dj to make mixes
@@cliftonbowers6376 Oh, wow! That's very interesting! Thank you for sharing your personal association with Madonna! I just finished writing an article about her, so maybe I will add your comments in it somewhere. Do you mind if I do? If you don't, is there anything else you might want me to mention that would be considered to be a fresh-scoop story? Maybe when you first met her at 14? One magazine has already read my draft and told me it was "fascinating!"
Paparazzi does so much damage and there are never any consequences. Ruining weddings, relationships, and worse. If not for them, Princess Di would still be alive. Everyone should stop buying those awful magazines...if they didn't make $$ off those things, they'd be out of business and stop!
I couldn't have said it better then what you just wrote...Thankyou, so on point and interesting. Age gracefully. Retire with class. Be proud of what you've accomplished!!
No documentary about her will ever be good enough, only Madonna knows her story best. And that amateur video at the start was already shown. Nothing truly groundbreaking here.
How mean as a brother to talk about his sister like that. Madonna did what she thought was right and she got away with it. One of MY favorite videos is exactly THAT, *Justify my Love* !!! Although she was provocative all her life, inside, deep down, she was still the sensitive girl who had to live her life without her beloved mother. ESPECIALLY our mother is our support in life. SHE is the one who holds the family together. SHE is the one we can go to ANYTIME WITHOUT being judged. SHE is the one who rebuilds us when we feel bad. NO ONE can replace a good mother. *NO ONE !* Madonna's insecurity can also be seen in the fact that she had surgery to look younger. This is part of life. We ALL have to go through that. I am also firmly convinced that if her mother had NOT died, Madonna would NEVER have gotten this far and we would NEVER have met this great woman and this great talent. My personal opinion; *God took Madonna's mom away so that she could go out into the world to do WHAT she did.*
Exellent documantary. Tears come to my eyes thinking of how this world is and how people are. Long live Madona and all others in the film. May you be safe, well, happy and free of worry.
i was a HUGE fan to this day but one song i never EVER liked was "like a virgin", but love every other what amazes me is that girl singers these days dont even know what she had to do to play in some countries back then, but still they badmouth her, they should thank her, o NEVER turned away from her, even with the sex book i thought it was all good fun, im sure it was the same for her
Not to undermine the power of success to nurture jealousy within those around 'it'....but you cannot nurture a seed that does not itself already exist. Jealous ppl will be jealous no matter the circumstances. Make no mistake, jealousy is neither virtue nor 'term' of endearment. Ppl who love you will no more be jealous of your success than they will seek to make you jealous of them. Be it jealous of their new things or their behavior with someone else. You cannot help ppl inflicted with such sickness. You can only help yourself & refuse the terms of the game
I thought what the one lady said was weird. How did she betray you if she told you what she was doing and you get offended for her making choices for herself?
Her brother completely missed the point about Madonna being filmed at her mother’s grave. For him to look at her through a negative lens like that says more about him than anything. Madonna was bringing the world in to the root of her grief and also the root of what drove her to success. Truly sad that her brother said that. And it’s also sad what some people are saying about her in this film. She was on a mission and had a dream and she reached it. Everyone else is suffering from envy. So sad.
20:00 They failed to establish her mother's influence in inspiring Madonna's love for dance when she was less than 5. After her mother's untimely death, Madonna continued dancing to feel the love and inspiration her mother had provided. Maybe she still does.
That's pretty rich. Her brother, Christopher, sold her out. He use to work for her and then got imvolved with drugs. He thought that by writing about his infamous sister, he would become an author. The publishing company only wanted dirt on Madonna. That's why Christopher's other books were never published. Very sad.
Bet the current Pope just loves Madonna. Madonna is my age, my Mother died when I was 15 months old from breast cancer, Papa remarried and then he died when I was 8 left us with the wicked stepmonster. When Burning Up came out my friends and I were all entranced. Then it all changed as time passed..... it's just gotten ugly and leaves the soul feeling touched by toxic vibrations.
I dont blame the brother for being angry about his mothers grave site being publicized , Madonna is looking for the wrong attention, IMO, A very rebellious person.
I swear Madonna is the only famous person who gets hate for telling the world her mother died.. unbelievable the disrespect she gets. they'll do anything to hate
I grew up in the 80 tees, Madonna was cool and part of the Music we listen to, like AHa, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran etc. Later I found her a bit strange...and after her "collection of kids-worls tour" I think she finally snapped . The last 5 -8 years I think she only made bad news.
Her brother perceived it as wrong that Madonna filmed herself at her mother's grave, laying Lilies of the Valley on the memorial and taking a shot of the gravestone that said Madonna Ciccone. 1933-1963. But, he was assuming her thoughts and he could not have possibly known how incredibly painful it was at that moment for a daughter to face the grief head on and want to commemorate her reality and closure. Madonna's face was down and hidden the whole time, her body out of focus as she looked down to pray, to talk to her Mom, maybe to God. It was a very, poignant nuanced message to people. It was a good thing, and her brother did not want to invade her private alone moments with her Mom, All good. God bless you Ciccone family.
People say Madonna had it easy. I knew all along she had to do it the hard way. She had it harder than I thought. No wonder she wont stop whether she turns 70,80 or more in the future because she worked so hard to get to were she is now.
No you don't work soo hard when you follow that direction of easy catch
She could have just stopped and faded away with dignity.
and where is she now ? a probably lonely woman who is bitter cause she turned grotesque and in not relevant anymore
Am the same age as the Mad one, my life was way harder than her's ever was or will be. I guarantee she has had help that we aren't told about. Nothing to be admired that is for sure too bad so many can't see it.

She was on Top of the Pols and The Tube. I saw her there. I’m reading his book now. It’s very good. Don’t know how it ends but it’s very interesting and vivid.
That’s sad that she is not in contact with people from past which helped her a lot.
Narcissists don’t care about those things. They don’t care about anyone other than themselves.
She needed them at the time but now she probably thinks they will want favors and her money 🤑💰
Amen. All about money.
Nobody owns anyone. If you want to get out of a contract and move on to another, you always can. There will be penalties, but you pay them and that's it, you're free to go. That's what Madonna did, and she always makes clear such as: "poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another" by Madonna.

Don't worry too much, my dad didn't have a choice with a Madonna crazed 10yr old! Funny enough, he didn't like Prince but liked Michael & Madonna of course. I liked all 3, plus his music n my mums music and my brother's and I ended up with all their vinyls, plus my own! Lol. My Dad has only just discovered Amy Winehouse, it doesn't matter when you discover them, it's that you have and you love them!! Peace n Love Pops x
Name and fame aren’t everything in life. People always like to follow anything & everything which is trend. So people liking her was a trend. She abused her body and her inner peace to get to that point. We should love ourselves more than our fame and name. Who cares about our names and fames after our death? But inner peace is what we live for. I don’t like her. And I chose to not. Everyone has a choice to do things in his own way. But we should take care of our inner peace remember.
Madonna certainly made her place in pop culture. Not so much her voice, but with provocative sexy stage shows and videos.
PRAISE BE TO ALLAH !

You know your old when the young people at your work don’t know who Madonna is……
Then they dont know a lot about music culture ,but honestly ,with tiktok and everything, i dont blame them ,its just a bit sad in my opinion that some people ,not everyone of course ,dont know a lot of influencial singers from back in the day
Because the current generation are stupid & all of them deserved a darwin award!!
They’re uncultured. Everybody knows Madonna
They're not uncultured they're just young. Madonna is somebody you gradually become aware of and the more you become aware the more you love.
@@muzeezhodillo8613 agreed
Madonna has always been portrayed as a person who uses people then disposes them once she no longer needs them. I’ve never seen any documentary which disputes this characterization of her (including this one).
Amen. Not a fan.
maybe because its true...
The behavior of a true narcissist. Madonna is an arch narcissist.
this was insightful, but chronologically a mess. how did they jump from the backlash of Justify My Love straight to Guy Ritchie like nothing else happened in between???? lol
At about 33 min, they explain how Madonna controls her image. Then they switch to past with her previous match. No mess at all
That's what I thought. 10 years gone by in 3 seconds
Yep.
My father informally knew Mr Ciccone, Madonna’s father. I remember my dad asking me if I knew who Madonna was. This was in the mid-80’s, so heck yeah I did! 🤣 Still a fun memory.
Always hear about her father being such a sweet man, very humble..
He was a good man 😊
Wow, I feel bad for you. Madonna is a manufactured baphomet, and so endured horrific child abuse to the point that as a little boy, he desperately was forced to pretend to be a girl just to save his life. Only an evil father could do that. I don't know how many children were in the family, but Madonna seems to have a sister who is also a baphomet, who wants to be a man instead of a woman. Unless I have that wrong, and his "sister" is a man, who is pretending to be a woman wanting to be a man (maybe that's a new category of abuse victim?). If your father knew them .... then that can't be good. It means at the very least that he cannot differentiate between evil and good, foe and friend, and in my book, that's not a good parent. If you're in denial, then you cannot differentiate between evil and good either.
Most gangsters present themselves that way, too.@@louiselouisethebest
Madonna put in hard work for her future she never quit
My mother went to high school with Madonna. When Madonna was at her height that’s when my mom told me and showed me her yearbook. That was so cool. My mom and her mom were born in Michigan so that’s how they went to HS together. Mom said she was kinda quiet but had that look like she was wild , trouble..
Bay City,MI.
Everyone says that Madonna is an awful person.
Who knows? 😅
Madonna's journey is nothing short of incredible. From her humble beginnings to becoming a global icon, her story inspires countless individuals to pursue their dreams relentlessly. Her unwavering determination, creativity, and fearlessness have paved the way for her unparalleled success in the music industry. Madonna's ability to constantly reinvent herself while staying true to her vision sets her apart as a true trailblazer and legend. Truly, her story is a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and unwavering self-belief.
She’s a selfish beast!
Madonna is a legendary artist.
you're being sarcastic right, I get it
Exactly!
What an achiever!
Madonna is in fact a talented dancer, not only that..shes a musical genius, the paths she opened for modern artists now its insane.
Was. Not Is 😂
@@Dolanlol1984 maybe cause people age?
19 years old, alone in New York with no money or place to stay.
She did what it took to become a star, It wasn't handed to her.
I ADORED her. As with Cher. Madonna should be VERY grateful for giving us so many GREAT years and be at peace with her age. ❤
Cher would not have you say Madonna in the same sentence of her name. She can’t stand Madonna for obvious reasons
Unfortunately Madonna doesn't seem to be at peace with her age these days
'She doesn't like to see people from her early days' How sad....she forgot where she came from, doesn't want ro know the original people who gave her a leg up😢
They may mean the nyc dance teacher who gave her free classes, the pr gal etc...ive heard stories.@@starrgoddess540
They're no longer of use to her, you see.
Name one "down to earth" icon then? Life puts people in your path, they aren't always designed to perpetual connections. No one is still friends with someone you knew for a couple of months 49yrs ago. That's life. Plenty of people are out here exploiting & abusing young artists.
that's not true, many people from her early days she's still in touch with. what a cruel thing to say. perhaps it's also a lot of bad memories she doesnt want to confront herself with such as the struggle, losing her mom and many family members at a young age, losing so many dear friends who had aids.. @@ShidachiOm
@@louiselouisethebestRight? She's been BFF's with Debi Mazer since she first moved to NY. Debi was her first makeup artist and helped develop her early style. She been friends with Rosie O'Donnell since the early 90's. She kept the same publicist, Liz Rosenberg since the early 80's. She only cuts out people who betray her. Like her brother Christopher.
Madonna danced with Alvin Ailey and Pearl Lang. She was Lang's star dancer at Spoleto (kinda like the World Series of Modern Dance). She earned a dance scholar ship to the University of Michigan...etc..
so the framing of her as a mediocre dancer is bs. She was defintely gifted in that department.
This "documentary" is full of inaccuracies that follows the old sexist narrative used by other labels. Imagine having such an amazing background as a professional dancer and it being reduced to something like this.. So.. imagine what else they'll make up that isn't easily proven to discredit her
❤
Right. This video gets a lot wrong. University of Michigan was not handing out dance scholarships like candy, even back then. And some of her dance teachers were encouraging her to try her hand in New York which they wouldn’t be encouraging without good reason.
It is so wrong in so many ways.
From a professional standpoint the standards are high.
I was born in 1958, same as Madonna. We are 66 this year. In 1984, Madonna had her first No. 1 hit, Like a Virgin. One morning that year, I was driving to work listening to it on the radio, and while the male DJ was announcing the song, he said that he thought Madonna was ugly. I was shocked to hear him say it. At that time, I didn't think Madonna was beautiful, but I also didn't think she was ugly. I thought she was attractive enough, and yes, a good dancer and entertainer. I knew she had a nose job before she became famous, but maybe all of the other extensive cosmetic treatments she's had as she grew older, including a Brazilian butt lift, were triggered by cruel comments like that.
L'une plus grande stars dès années 80 & 90 comme Michael Jackson (Madonna restera à la reine de la pop 20 siècle et 21 siècle elle a bcp galèrer pour réussi à ça façon elle s'est battu comme une guerrière pour ça elle est toujours là même ça tournée Célèbration tour 12 ème de sa carrière.
“He’s no longer in touch with [her] not because of any falling out but because she doesn’t like to see people from her early days.”
Translation: she doesn’t give a crap about the people who helped her get to the top.
Like a true narcissist.
She does have a unique voice not deep not to light I haven't heard anybody else that sounds like she does
always loved Madonna, still do!
This is called human idolatry.
You don't love her because you don't even know her on a personal level. You Adore her.
You should try to fill that God Void with YHWH , not a celebrity.
She is the only recording artist to have 50 singles all hit number one on the charts.
Madonna,s voice inspired me to be happy, especiallyuplifting me during tough times. Anyone who says Madonna can't sing, hasn't listened to the purity of her interpretations. She sang from her heart, and not from her bank account. Her voice reflected her feelings, and her art. The res a reason she became so famous. She had courage. The courage to say what she wanted. But the voice and the interpretation are first rate. Madonna isa Superstar. She practically created the word Superstar. So the negativity is what is wrong with people. Not what is wrong with Madonna.People who wake up to come for Madonna, are the same people that complain when they win the lottery, and spend all their money on drugs. It isn't the lottery that fails them, it's the drugs. Haters , go back and listen to Madonna,s work in the context of the tines it was created, and put your shoulders back and admire a great artist. Until you can do as well with your art, you have no room to complain. Now grow up and find someone to uplift for a change. You are not the critical auteur of artists abilities you believe yourself to be. more like a concierge of doom at a Holiday inn.
Very well stated!
Love your post, and I so agree!❤
Exactly, she sang from her heart.
Until she became a mk ultra sex satanic thingy
Madonna can definitely sing.
if you are helping someone
or support , never look back to receive anything from it . That might ruin your life
It´s called music business! Not a friend club or a charity
Beautifully said
Yeah but there's such a thing as at least showing appreciation and respect for those who have helped you on your way up, EVEN in the music business - in that way she seems very much another Meghan Markle...
I can't believe none of the comments are talking about her musical genius. Music and Confessions are masterpieces of our generation. Not to mention the hits before and after. A true superstar not only in the studio, but most certainly on stage. 🙌
yours is my fav comment, absolutely right!!
shes a genious im almost 54 and i danced to her music to this day
Both fully vaxed I assume
She got her songs from other people. Don’t tell me to stop was her brother in laws. Some she writes with a roomful of songwriters. She is no Prince.
@@Lillipod1 ?
I was a teen when she came pit. Couldn't stand her, her music, her looks, or anything she stood for. I still can't stand her, but at least I pity her now lol
Madonna has changed history forever - so whether you like it or not, get over it…She also did it herself and didn’t have daddy like Beyoncé who’s revered beyond belief for no reason lmaooo
Now now you can love Madonna and not be a hater … stay classy.
She just used sex to farther her career and also provocative stage performances, she is a lousy singer. As I say if you have a star in your life you can shine regardless of talent. She pushed her way and climb up the ladder
Very true
Beyoncé???? Taylor Swift is the one who is totally overrated!!! 😂😂😂
Beyoncé is a joke I think, I’ll pass on her
WOW, am I the only one who TOTALLY disagrees with her brother's assessment of the scene at her mother's graveside? Like, excuse YOU, dude, the ENTIRETY of the rest of HER life has been in the public eye. It probably didn't feel like an odd thing to share a rare but deeply personal moment with her fans for the sake of catharticism. In what universe does Madonna need to reach for attention? If anything she has to fight for any privacy!
I had three services for my father 😅 one in Santa Rosa at the church I attended at that time, one at a Methodist church which he attended and one at the gravesite. I had friends in each location and wanted them to be able to attend. We all grieve the loss of a parent in our own way. 😅
Really?! That was his Mother too. Don't be such a Karen. Good lord.
It only became an issue to her brother once they were at odds with one another. Her brother is proof that your family can be jealous of you and turn on you like a complete stranger can. Her brother was a coke head that she cut off because of all of his partying and wild sex parties. Now he finds her acts bothersome!? Notta
Great post! I didn’t know half of this stuff …
I hate that she's embraced the occult and Satanism just for fame😢
A movie should also be made about Madonna and when she herself is still alive and telling everything,that would be great :)
She wouldn't admit to the nasty/bad things she's done over the decades though. The woman is a sociopath.
Chile we all have flaws....guarantee you no one's life's story would be pretty....we've all said and done bad things to others...
@@mickeybell8933Many people don’t behave like her! She’s disgusting!!
Uhm. In her situation at the time. What do you think you would choose yourself?? To listen to those around her, those who would turn her into the super star, the thing she wanted the most in life, OR NOT listen to them, and maybe not reach her goal? Don’t be so quick to judge someone you have never met, at least when you aren’t qualified to do so. Even if you actually are a psychologist/ psychiatrist, you still haven’t met her, had consultations…..have you?
TOTALLY!!! YES!!!
Most of this film is crap. For a young woman to talk so tenderly about the loss of her mother, and how she understood as a child what that meant about God was not using her mom as a prop. It was expressing the grief and devastation of losing a parent and trying to work it out with a child's brain and emotions. Even after all these years, Madonna still honors her mother and talks about the love that is always there. And if she could change one thing, it would be to have her mother.
Agreed! 👍
Please edit out the bit where you shame her work in life modelling. It is a beautiful art form and absolutely nothing to be ashamed about!
I'm Moroccan born in Belgium, I was 7 when she became famous and my Family used to call me mini-Madonna 😁 You couldn't see the wallpaper in my room, it was all Madonna posters and everyday I chose as which Madonna I would look like! I still don't understand how my muslim parents never said anything 😅 on the contrary my whole family loves Madonna. My uncles aunts cousins in Morocco they would all ask us to bring them Madonna posters and albums 😅 Good times! And I'm still one of her biggest fans 🥰♥️
No nepotism, no special connects. Sheer willpower, hard work, and determination. In a few short years a girl from nowhere becomes one of the most powerful artist of the century, standing next to Michael Jackson and Prince! The peanut gallery grows evermore idiotic with each passing year, this woman is going out as one of the most influential artist of the century. Madonna’s hand is literally on every single facet of modern society for poorer or better.
Facts!
Right on Ms.
No nepotism for sure but a lot of selling her body to important men
Nepo or not, she sold her soul like all the others
Facts
Two event organizer friends attest that shes the craziest most evil person they ever had to deal with.
Famous singing only 1 octave really ... ridiculous.
She was two octaves like janet
DAUGHTER is so super pretty! Those eyes are knockout gems! Looks so much like Madonna yet in special other version. What a trip!!❤
This documentary has a LOT of inaccuracies and omissions. It left out her musical start with the Gilroys in The Breakfast Club, among other things. She did not start music with Patrick Hernandez. Her whole musical start was mischaracterized in this doc.
It also left out her group Emmy. It was a long hard fight to the top for her
She is an amazing human being that had affected so many people and achieved more than most of us ever will. ❤
I agree, that Madonna never had the best voice, nor is she the greatest dancer, but at the beginning, the narrator said she was not particularly beautiful. Really? That's the something, along with her ambition, that she was gifted with. She was GORGEOUS in her youth, with amazing green eyes, a perfect complexion and excellent bone structure, facial symmetry, a heart shaped faced with good proportions. She looks like someone totally different now, unfortunately.
Actually many said that🤭
@@artisthusnatalal3099 they said she wasn't pretty? I truly thought she was stunning in her younger years.
@@chloelee2435 Maybe to the eyes of other's she appeared different
Madonna has a beautiful diamond shaped face ❤
Fabulous features ❤
You will also look TOTALLY different at 65 too..with or without surgery.
You cannot control a woman of power. If you cannot match , just leave. She stood in her power does what she wanted it is her life. Bravo 👏
Brava!
Sign of the times... it’s never enough. Sad really.
I wish her to find peace & happiness within.
True, these days nothing is ever enough for anyone. It is like that fake redbull. You could end up with an overly mangled brain. Instant gratification, everything fast, fast, and fast.
Exactly....
It's interesting to consider this perspective. Madonna has been surviving media scrutiny for as long as I can remember; she's survived this little documentary too. The woman is a genius, a revolutionary, and to start a video with "she's not particularly beautiful, nor does she know how to dance anything special" is a poor way to grab attention. But why not, I'll watch it to the end simply because I love watching everything about Madonna; she's a freaking goddess for those who understand her.
But a goddess who just uses then discards everyone....she will never love anyone more than herself
Made in 2011. Looking forward to a part 2 that discusses her life and style in the last 10-15 years. 😊
She definitely doesn’t look like that in 2024!
along with ALL the plastic surgery she has had. I saw in concert in NY just a few weeks ago, She can really get down like she did in the 80's
@@TiaVaylikDid she have those?? Wow, I seriously didn’t know that….😮😮😮
@@TiaVaylik Oh that's so amazing! I was a bit worried there for a while! How was the concert, best you've ever seen???!!! I hope they do a film of it! I heard that she read all the mean comments on IG about her face and was so upset that she vowed to get back to how she used to look as best she can?! x
@pufache I came here for this comment! I thought it was a really good doc on her! There were things in there I didn't know and things they left out, like for instance, we fcuking loved Justify my Love, video and song over here in England! There was a special premier on tv channel4, it felt like a pay per view thing but this was on 1 of our 5 terrestrial channels and I was sat on the floor looking up at the tv with my fingers hovering over the rec button on the vhs player! Lol x
"Get into the groove" one of the anthems of my youth. Iconic woman
Man. Madonna is a man.
Mine too, and I remember my religious, Catholic grandmother, watching it with me, and saying one day I’ll understand what she’s talking about… It wasn’t dancing lol
I loved Madonna's untrained voice. Papa don't preach. Is her most memorable song in my opinion.
…I still listen to Madonna in 2024. Even in my “urban playlist”, lurks some retro Madonna!!
🎶 🎵 I’m burning up, burning up for your love… 🎶 🎶
One of my favourites of her early tracks, I first heard aged 15 at an underage disco @1983 and still love it.
This is such a great video, lots of interesting footage and telling a positive life story of a great artist.
Madonna entertained me for decades, she really did. It is remarkable that she reinvented herself so often captivating her audience time and again. I hope there is still a lot to come, real music and allowing us to listen to her beautiful skilful voice. Yes, all the glitz and glamour is interesting but it is really the slower ballads with emotional lyrics I enjoy most. So, if you read this Madonna, into the studio and record more please for us to enjoy.
Our lives would not have been the same without your music and artistic spirit!
Very sad and devastating..for this lady who helped her get to the top..I think when you usher people to stardom.......do it with no expectations..cos most people as most humans will forget, they will hurt you ..do it expecting the universe to reward you...
The lady who ushered her to the top wasn't very explanatory. She didnt explain if there was a written contract between the two or what exactly what the business relationship they had was.
That lady sounds like a bitter old lesbian. I’ve seen other interviews where people said she was in love with Madonna (good for her, who cares, right?). 😂 Had Madonna not made the decisions she made, she would not be where she is today. People don’t get to the top by being nice to people. Madonna played everyone like a fiddle to get where she’s at and probably has zero regrets about it.
Re Madonna's body today,, you can't buy that body. She works for it,, deserves every taught muscle. Her dancer friend confirms she spends hours upon countless hours to maintain that body. Everyone knows eventually Mother Nature AND gravity will win the fight but as always Madonna will not quit on herself even tho many others have and will.
Agree that she sculpts her own body with hard work but lest we deny the amount of hellacious plastic surgery she’s turned to in the last many years. She will always be an icon but her face is becoming scary.
ffs honestly who cares?
I wish she would've left her face alone. She looks so weird now. She would've aged just fine naturally. c'est la vie I suppose.
Crazy to think her being open about her pains and having different beliefs was seen like such a selfish or evil thing, even by her own family. Today it's normal. I can't imagine being a young woman in her times.
It's sad that she turned her back on those who were there for her when she was a nobody and had nothing.
EVERYONE has their moments. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Personally I can't think of any one who can swear with conviction, and poetic to my ears in my opinion.
She sold her soul. It was not worth it
I have always loved Madonna. In her 50s she was so elegant. It saddens me the way she presents herself now. She should have allowed herself to age more naturally
I was a teenager during the 80s and I can assure you that she made it big with Lucky Star, not Like a Virgin - yes she became bigger with Like a Virgin as she has w every consecutive album up until the 2010s - it really is a shame with what she’s doing now, because she is destroying her brilliant legacy..she thinks in her delusion that she’s “pushing the envelope” like she did in her prime…but her glory days are over. She should retire gracefully and be happy and content with what she has achieved-instead people will now just think of her as a froot loop and forget the amazing achievements she did make.
Well written, and I hope Madonna has not ruined that legacy, especially with her Celebration Tour which clearly it is not.
Time, it's time .....⌛
I agree Lucky Star was her break out
Madonna is still relevant despite her age. She's smart. She knows when to stop.
Yup! I was 12. She was EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE
@@karengarrison3666 I think her tour is doing quite well and she’s moved back to a more traditional (for her) and toned down look as far as I can tell based on clips. Different than the overly puffed up and weird missing eyebrows she had been doing.
All here on Earth will come to an end.
lately ive been having dreams relating to an afterlife. I hope very much, that this reality i a test.
The system of things the government is going away but not the earth. Just under new management is the Kingdom of Jesus on earth as it is in heaven
No just the way it's going to be run, man cannot rule other men
I will always love her like a sister. I admire her cuz she was so gutsy. She is an amazing American!
Not at all !!!
Only that she isn't 😂
She couldn’t give two shites about you. See what she said to someone in a wheelchair recently? She asked “why aren’t you standing?” And then saw they were in a wheelchair. She then gave a half hearted response. It’s disgusting.
Great documentary
I will always love Madonna. An icon of my youth. And yes....the 80s were epic!❤
What a time to be alive

Paparazzi does so much damage and there are never any consequences. Ruining weddings, relationships, and worse. If not for them, Princess Di would still be alive. Everyone should stop buying those awful magazines...if they didn't make $$ off those things, they'd be out of business and stop!

No documentary about her will ever be good enough, only Madonna knows her story best. And that amateur video at the start was already shown. Nothing truly groundbreaking here.
How mean as a brother to talk about his sister like that.
Madonna did what she thought was right and she got away with it.
One of MY favorite videos is exactly THAT, *Justify my Love* !!!
Although she was provocative all her life, inside, deep down, she was still the sensitive girl who had to live her life without her beloved mother.
ESPECIALLY our mother is our support in life.
SHE is the one who holds the family together. SHE is the one we can go to ANYTIME WITHOUT being judged. SHE is the one who rebuilds us when we feel bad.
NO ONE can replace a good mother.
*NO ONE !*
Madonna's insecurity can also be seen in the fact that she had surgery to look younger.
This is part of life. We ALL have to go through that.
I am also firmly convinced that if her mother had NOT died, Madonna would NEVER have gotten this far and we would NEVER have met this great woman and this great talent.
My personal opinion;
*God took Madonna's mom away so that she could go out into the world to do WHAT she did.*
Madonna is great and controversial 😅❤❤❤
God doesn't do stuff like that.
@@binathere2574 You put *everything* on the gold scales, right?

Exellent documantary. Tears come to my eyes thinking of how this world is and how people are. Long live Madona and all others in the film. May you be safe, well, happy and free of worry.
i was a HUGE fan to this day but one song i never EVER liked was "like a virgin", but love every other
what amazes me is that girl singers these days dont even know what she had to do to play in some countries back then, but still they badmouth her, they should thank her, o NEVER turned away from her, even with the sex book i thought it was all good fun, im sure it was the same for her
Amazing soul journey!
She didn’t adopt them for their benefit, she did for her own personal satisfaction
I have always liked her…we are Michiganders…her talent with music and film proved she worked hard and for a time it payed off.❤
You're so naive if you think that. 😅
Not to undermine the power of success to nurture jealousy within those around 'it'....but you cannot nurture a seed that does not itself already exist. Jealous ppl will be jealous no matter the circumstances. Make no mistake, jealousy is neither virtue nor 'term' of endearment. Ppl who love you will no more be jealous of your success than they will seek to make you jealous of them. Be it jealous of their new things or their behavior with someone else.
You cannot help ppl inflicted with such sickness. You can only help yourself & refuse the terms of the game
I thought what the one lady said was weird. How did she betray you if she told you what she was doing and you get offended for her making choices for herself?
Great documentary. Thank you so much. ❤
Her brother completely missed the point about Madonna being filmed at her mother’s grave. For him to look at her through a negative lens like that says more about him than anything. Madonna was bringing the world in to the root of her grief and also the root of what drove her to success. Truly sad that her brother said that. And it’s also sad what some people are saying about her in this film. She was on a mission and had a dream and she reached it. Everyone else is suffering from envy. So sad.
Totally agree 💯👍

Your comment is nonsensical.
20:00 They failed to establish her mother's influence in inspiring Madonna's love for dance when she was less than 5. After her mother's untimely death, Madonna continued dancing to feel the love and inspiration her mother had provided. Maybe she still does.
She will live her life through her first daughter 🙏
That's pretty rich. Her brother, Christopher, sold her out. He use to work for her and then got imvolved with drugs. He thought that by writing about his infamous sister, he would become an author. The publishing company only wanted dirt on Madonna. That's why Christopher's other books were never published. Very sad.
Christopher is a disgrace! With a brother like him, who needs enemies!?! 😅 He’s jealous! 😮
Bet the current Pope just loves Madonna. Madonna is my age, my Mother died when I was 15 months old from breast cancer, Papa remarried and then he died when I was 8 left us with the wicked stepmonster. When Burning Up came out my friends and I were all entranced. Then it all changed as time passed..... it's just gotten ugly and leaves the soul feeling touched by toxic vibrations.
I dont blame the brother for being angry about his mothers grave site being publicized , Madonna is looking for the wrong attention, IMO, A very rebellious person.
I swear Madonna is the only famous person who gets hate for telling the world her mother died.. unbelievable the disrespect she gets. they'll do anything to hate

The background music makes it difficult to hear the narrator at times.
Good documentary! Thanks!
I grew up in the 80 tees, Madonna was cool and part of the Music we listen to, like AHa, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran etc. Later I found her a bit strange...and after her "collection of kids-worls tour" I think she finally snapped . The last 5 -8 years I think she only made bad news.
Can’t beat Madonna in the 80s…dancing to Get into the groove at the discos ..my teenage years where brilliant
I liked only... La..isla...BONITA😅
I would never want her life. That much success and loosing your mom at that age. Plus she’s brilliant, but with that job you hurt a lot of people
Because you're a loser
❤️BEAUTIFUL !❤️Thank you for sharing your video ❤❤
Love you and you know that no answer is blowing in the wind. The answer is right there in the heart ❤
Her brother perceived it as wrong that Madonna filmed herself at her mother's grave, laying Lilies of the Valley on the memorial and taking a shot of the gravestone that said Madonna Ciccone. 1933-1963. But, he was assuming her thoughts and he could not have possibly known how incredibly painful it was at that moment for a daughter to face the grief head on and want to commemorate her reality and closure. Madonna's face was down and hidden the whole time, her body out of focus as she looked down to pray, to talk to her Mom, maybe to God. It was a very, poignant nuanced message to people. It was a good thing, and her brother did not want to invade her private alone moments with her Mom, All good. God bless you Ciccone family.
There are plenty of children in America who need adopting,

Yes by going that direction.....🤷♀️
That performance was perfectly in time for the rise of supermodel era. Vogue was everything.
Her brother looks so much like Madonna
her mom n madonna look alike.
Her daughter Lourdes also looks like typical young Madonna
