On the big billboards on young and dundas over and over you are a Genuine feminist and what i would imagine my older sister to be if i ever had one.xoxox
5 years later.. 3 pm.. I am a young lady in India watching this.. overwhelmed with a bit of emotion. Contemplating what is it like to be a woman in this society..She is right. Every word of her touches the soul. That's when you know true words have been spoken... 🙏
Being a woman is the best thing! I wouldn't want it to be any other way, although there are instances where it is hard for us. But if we support each other, the world is ours, we still outnumber guys.
When we saw the marches against rape over there, it took our breath away. To see so many people standing up and fighting back is amazing and inspiring. Maybe it didn't fix the problem, but if it makes one abuser think twice before abusing, I think it's worth it.
@@PirlisanWhy don't women all get together and start your own society on a desert island somewhere and come up with your own inventions / financial system / food production etc.? I mean, you all seem to dislike living in a world that men created and maintain, so why don't you all just go do it yourself? Then you won't be under the law of men. Oh yeah... That's right... You can't. Women are God's secondary human creation and you will always be that way. Deal with it. "Man is the image and glory of God. Woman is the glory of man." 1st Corinthians 11:7
This was hands down one of the best speeches EVER. She was brutally honest and I loved every second of it. I admire her great strength. Women should be able to do anything a man CAN DO
This woman saved my life. I was suicidal when I came out, because my family had such a hard time with it. But Madonna came on tv -I already loved her music - and said in an interview, "Gay people are my biggest fans - I wouldn't have a career without them! My brother is gay." I knew in that moment if Madonna could love me, someone out there would love me for who I am. So, I lived. It sounds dramatic, and it's is, but it's 100 percent the truth.
"when I started there was no internet, so they had to say it in my face" that is something. if that happened to artists of today I think most of them wouldn't survive.
theEXOaudio I don’t think you understand what she’s saying. Back then, if someone didn’t like her, they would have to say it to her face, but the thing is, people are too afraid to do that. But now, people can hide behind the screen and hate all that they want.
@@jasonle520 yes that could be some of the instances. but her point was that if someone didn't like her, they'd say it to her face even if it was few since like you said, "people are afraid to do that" directly in her face. but remember, there are actual critics out there where some of their job is to "critic" what she does. I don't know for you, but if there were people directly saying that in my face, I'd be more bothered rather than a lot of people bashing me on social media because I could just shut down my notifications. and some of the hate today were just bandwagon. imagine, someone to say something in her face means that they really "meant" what they said probably unlike social media where people just jump on the hate train. think about this too: madonna is still active in her career back then and now. so she's also experiencing those "behind the screen" social media hate. I bet if you search i hate madonna there's also hate going on social media on her. but the fact that she told that story where "people used to say it in my face" means that is more bothering and it affected her more than current social media thing. and it was the 80s. I am sure most people were blunt back then. please let's not dive into i-dont-think-you-understand-what-she-meant and just focus on the message of what she's saying. it's that hate will always be there. people should be more considerate of the words they say and actions that they do.
She is the every thing meant to music industry for ever, but only few tried to respect what's really a woman could deserve, 'Rain 'ing so "crazy 4 u" something to rememb, with "Forbidden Love "that 'take a bow', in our life by the greatest singeress!Thanks.
well she is interesting as a person but a terrible singer ...somehow she managed to stay in business ...is she a great person ...well who knows ..a lot of trash came out of her ... there are much more talented positive people in business ...she is just bolt and daring
"be what women feel comfortable with you being, around other men" this right here is MASSIVE. we forget as a society that its not only men judging us or labeling us but most importantly its our own kind, women, at times being even more judgmental than the men towards a sexually liberated and daring woman. I personally know many girls like this and they are easily threatened by any remotely attractive woman in their vicinity and it boils their blood to see a girl like that who is confident and unapologetic.
I agree, societal conditioning has made women internalise the misogyny they've been subjected to and now they consciously or unconsciously project that on other women.

@@damn3876 I hope you meant the replying comments above not the original poster, because she didnt "bring others down", she simply said she changed her mind. Comparison is not inheritedly bad, it's only bad when purposefully used to bring someone down
I disagree, these are very ancient and archaic sins, masking itself as progressive, innovative, a head of her time, when really this corruption is as old as the world, as old as ancient egypt. You've been duped.
Madonna is the best-selling female artist in the history of music and billboard ranked her number 1 above The Beatles as the most important legend in music history. RESPECT

I'm not a huge fan of Modanna's music but I respect her career and her honestly with all my heart! She's a good role model and very smart. This speech was very inspiring.
@@bobbydigital5236 She's confident and very aware of the right of sexual self-determination, that's why she inspires me like no other woman. Shes also aware of sexism and calls out other WOMEN for being sexist against man, that shows that she's an independent brave thinker. That's why I think shes a great role model. Perhaps you hear about the times she flashed a girl on stage, that was not right and it shouldnt be tolerated. But apart from that, she is an amazing human.
Michael Jackson may have been a pop icon, like many other icons such as Elvis and The Beatles, but Madonna is a pop, culture, feminist, LGBTQ+, overall icon. As a Queer person, Madonna's advocacy for the gay community is something I will always be thankful for.
No one should compare them from each other. They are all great in their own field. Each have their own identity and advocacy. That's why I appreciate them aside from their music. They didn't just sing out there and go home and enjoy every pennies they have. They have shared it to the world. That's all that matters. They truly cared for every fans. Most artists nowadays sadly don't do much charities.
Darling, Michael Jackson supported multiple charities, made friends with a white boy who had aids. Invited cancer patients to his house and gave them treatment for free. Madonna is incredible and so are these people. Stop comparing them. Michael is KING.
@@simoncowell8238 MJ indeed was a real humanitarian I have never seen a celebrity in my life that has done that much charity that he has, he’s saved lives around the world
There is literally a book with all the humanitarian work that he has done (what's known for the public) listed by months and weeks. He did something every month or week of his life, he also left 20% of his earnings to go to the charity after his death. He was such a good person it would be hard to list everything, I suggest to get more info you will be surprised.
"I remember wishing I had a female here, that I could look to for support.." that hit hard. I could feel how alone she felt at that time. What an amazing STRONG woman she truly is.
@@maryhill00 It is. The worst thing one could possible experience is to be surrounded by people who make you feel alone. Like Madonna said, "the most controversial thing I have ever done is to stick around."
I’m SOoooo proud to say I’ve met Madonna!!! In 2009! In a private house social in London!! She was so nice!!! No celeb ego classist nonsense. She was wearing a tracksuit and was holding her adopted baby from Africa. Her face was like porcelain, flawless. She was really nice and treated everyone as equals. I’m glad I met her! 💖
How did you wind up there? Are you a designer or writer? Not saying you don't belong, just curious. I've long been a fan of Madonna and I gather she's pretty cool and a good soul, but it's a pity if she feels resentment towards men. That's a bit sad.
I come back to this speech every so often. It’s so goddamn powerful. It’s long, 10 minutes, and yet the whole time you can just hear a pin drop. Her gaze pierces right through everything and holds you as if she were Medusa. This woman is so powerful it is hard to comprehend.
I've seen this speech about a dozen times and every time it brings me to tears. You're right.. the light /soul /energy.. that we know as "Madonna" can move mountains and commands a room.. nay a Stadium at her whem.. She's my absolute favorite artist on earth and I feel sooo blessed to have been able to witness her meteoric and unprecedented stay here on earth. It's beyond the music. It's her soul that captivates me. I love her forever and a day ♥ ♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️
After she finnished her speech I was just few seconds staring at my phone. She's such a strong woman, who successfully fought against sexism and homophobia. Thank you.

Oh yeah! And what really impresses me is her ability to be both vunerable and strong at the same time! I also love her and have in her a huge inspiration. Proud to call her my idol, my muse, my guide! Btw, loved you "Attacked by dogs" playing Devil Pray instrumental in the back!
Without her, the world would not probably be as open minded with sexuality than it is today, even if it is not as open minded as I wish it should be. Madonna is surely the one to whom Freedom and tolerance can rely on. How many teenagers did she save by talking about aids, sexuality and tolerance. She is definitely a very good person.

@@SalmanKhan-vk4jzfor not letting those word they called her stop her from doing what she loves, they thought those words would slow her down. They didn't though.
Wow, Madonna. This was one of the most powerful and honest speeches on being a woman I have ever heard. It reached me to my core and is extremely empowering to me. Thank you.
As an 18 year old girl I ask myself why did I hear of her only now? All she represents is so important for us young girls and we have a few idols we look up to but she? She's strong and unapologetic on another level. Why is she so unknown among us? I truly admire her and now have hung up some quotes of her in my room. She breaks the rules in a way I've never seen before and she inspires me on a whole other level. I wish that more young people and especially girls become aware of her. Madonna, thank you, I love you
Most of the today's teenagers idols (Beyoncé, Britney, Christina, Arianna, Katy, Rihanna, Cardi B, Ava Max...) have Madonna as their own idol, as mother figure. You really must check how Madonna a professional dancer in 1983 that came out of nowhere and quiker than Ray of Light went viral.

I'm so happy to hear your thoughts. I'm 37 and Madonna is my biggest idol, but even people my age are quite ignorant about her, and do believe it's because of sexist and ageist media. And people are like a flock of sheep as well, if one critic is slagging her off, then lots of people agree without forming an opinion for themselves. There's so much great music and energy coming from Madonna, as well as interviews, films, quotes... And oh yeah, let's not forget that she never kisses ass, which is why some people don't like her as much as the other people pleasing entertainers. She's genuine
Gina Sousa Branco You forgot Taylor Swift. Madonna was so inspiring to Taylor. As Madonna said, « before there was no Internet, so people had to say it to my face » and Taylor was criticized at the 2009 VMAs by Kanye West so she relates to that.
The boys of our time do not admire her because they have not taken the time to listen to her albums. She is iconic. I am also 18 years old and I admire her very much. She is a very strong woman. I'm sure if she launches a biopic, the young audience will listen to her like what happened with Queen
Same😭 I thought like I have to accept it like that because I'm done fighting but now I feel so empowered to continue this fucking fight I love madonna 👑❤🥺
@@ellakidane960 Exactly! I was like I'm exhausted and done with this shit a week ago, and hear I am for round 1000- not backing down or covering/'nicing' myself up
She is right, I’ve never took a lot interest in her, when I saw this in my recommendations I clicked on it out of curiosity, but she caught me off-guard, she talked about some things Ive been thinking about myself especially and that I let toxic opinions get to me, like being the girl everyone expects me to be while hanging around boys and always putting up an act. I don’t see men and females separated, I see personality and the human that is standing right in front of me, but society is so focused on gender roles and the mainstream flow that either you have to get real thick skin to survive being yourself emotionally and mentally or you totally loose out. Thank you for this speech Madonna.
You got it right, I agree. When I think of how strong she must have been (and still be because she always get some shit even today) I can only admire her more. And what a catalogue and career, it’s really amazing.
@@deedee5631 ya luckily things r changing...it's because of strong women in the entertainment industry resisted the white Straight men in power for a long time... Madonna, Janet Jackson, Pat Benator, The Chicks, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, P!nk, Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus etc....so many strong women went against a patriarchal attitude that ruled the music industry for so long...for that all of these women were vilified in some way or the other.
this is the MOST POWERFUL, GENUINE and 'right to the point' speech on women rights and working women, I have ever heard. Madonna was articulate , truthful and said it , the-way-it-is . THANK YOU Madonna. I have so much respect for you. Stick around for ever!!!!! We love you!
Watching this 7 years later.. what a powerful and profound speech that brought me to tears.. truth is, I used to be THAT woman, the one who judged you, who would criticize you for what you looked like, acted, and behaved, I put myself on a pedestal and thought of myself as a woman of "values" who would never put myself out there as you did. How wrong was I... the beauty of aging brings wisdom though... I now know that subconsciously I was envious, not of your fame or fortune, but envious of your ability to be comfortable in your own skin, so comfortable with who you are, that other's opinions did not matter. My takeaways from this speech are to ACCEPT and embrace who you are, fully, your past and your present, your warts and all that goes with it, and to be GRATEFUL, not only for the people who support and agree with you but more so those that do not, as how you react to those who don't agree with you is your CHOICE, Madonna CHOSE to take motivation and inspiration from those who did not agree with her.
... could someone please explain what "feminist" means in the first place, as most recently people use words and definitions like "ready-to-use" slogans
Little known fact: Back in her early day, Rolling Stone point blank stated SHE WOULD NOT LAST. SHE WAS A FLASH IN THE PAN. They also knocked every album Led Zeppelin ever made. So they definitely made some errors of judgment over the years. Especially about my girl, Madam M, who is still standing tall, even after 35 years; LIVING LEGEND. 👍
SO much truth in every single word she spoke. I am currently sobbing for her, for me and for all the women in the world and in history who have been oppressed and hurt by this society. Thank you Madonna
So... THIS had me cry. My respect for her was growing the more she told about her life even though i already had a lot of respect for her achievements as a musician. By now I'm not only respecting her for that, but also for her personality. I love you Madonna, you are so strong! Thank you for this speech!
Hey, it only shows that you are human, don't let false men tell you that it's wrong to cry and express your feelings. The new masculinity is here and it is much much kinder to males than the past.
Masculinity is not about holding your tears back. It is about wiping away the tears of others. That's how you be a good human being, much more important than being a man. Written by a swiftie 😊
she is the most underrated artists nowdays, it's sad that a big part of society forgot what this woman made not only for woman or the lgtbq+ comunity, but society itself, she is not just a pop icon, she changed our world, and remember in the years to come if today's current female pop stars(like beyonce, gaga, swift, etc) are able to continue to do what they love to do without their age being a problem it will be thanks to this woman, she recieves hate everyday for making art at her age
Halsey was listening to Madonna very carefully, like she was trying to relate things. Halsey is kinda underrated. Even it's a matter of shock that Madonna is not given that much respect that she deserves. She's a wonderful Woman, Or should I say A Wonderful Artist. I love her so much I know, There are thousands like myself & Madonna will never know us. But we exist & We love her So much from Where we are. Hail Queen ♥
Not meaning to be rude but out of all the poignant things she’s said in this speech people in the replies constantly chooses the part where she slams feminism as the best. Why??
@@kristelpi652 amd in today's world being a bad ass is considered more strong than being a humble person ,maybe because being humble dosen't work that much idk ?
I have always admired Madonna for expressing herself Unapologetically uniquely. One of the greatest trailblazers of all time. She nailed it in this powerful and authentic speech. A queen and a legend 🙌 ❤️💋 and an icon!!
I remember dancing to "Everybody" in the clubs back in the day in 1981 or 82 and falling in love with Madonna. Saw her Like A Virgin tour and she was great. I think Madonna set the way for today's female pop stars. Her speech was incredible.
I love your comment. I can really appreciate anyone who will stand up and protect a woman because every day of our lives, we are protecting others, and hoping that the other person would do the same if we needed them too/
I had never really cared for her music or her but I'm starting to understand the importance of who she is and what she's done for women and gay rights. I'm so proud to be a feminist.
Richard Myles My faves are Where Life Begins and Secret Garden, mostly for the MUSICCCC, though I sometimes read Secret Garden's lyrics when I feel down. Waiting in companion with Did you do it? is God, the latter actually one of the few hip hop songs I really like. And Erotica the song is stand-alone in its cold cruel queerness. Hehe I'm listening to those right now, thanks TH-cam.
She is a Living Legend. She paved the way for FEMALE POP STARS. People need to respect her for the career she’s had and the impact and influence she’s had on the music industry
@@milzijex7340 no bitch, that's his fact. You don't get to decide what's an opinion. Idc if u hate Madonna, but she did pave the way for female pop artists whether you like it or not

You cannot even put a sentence together. Put down the crack pipe! Madonna obviously is not irrelevant or millions wouldn't be discussing her and watching her every move! Her last tour just 2 years ago was a huge success globally so Hana you have no idea what you are even saying.
never really took a lot of notice of Madonna over the years but recently started listening to her more mysterious sounding songs like Frozen and come to realise how really talented she is . Love "Nothing really Matters " its cool and yet a dance song . I'm hooked now .She is Amazing .
Madonna for me, was never was a musician that I listened to much, but I did realize how important she was throughout the years. This speech here I did listen to and she really said true and honest words of experience and wisdom. A Very wonderful and soul deep speech Madonna. 🤘🏽
I fucking love this speech. I'm so happy that she has finally allowed herself to be vulnerable in public and show her humanity. Here she is fiercely intelligent, tender, and yet totally defiant.
youtubeuser I agree, she really opened up..a true leader of the people shows her feelings. I loved it when she took her strength to carry on, saying "No".
That part really affected me. It's like the 34 years of strength she has had to project almost seemed to give way for a split second. Even in her vulnerability she will not give her haters the satisfaction. That last line was one for the ages.
exactly what I meant to say, as it's NOT a full speech at all... but I guess, beggars can't be choosers...so even the bleeped out, edited version is a gift, and an inspirational one...
This makes me cry everytime i watch it. I thank god for her being here she gave me hope after my mum died. And i have clung onto that emmotionally ever since. I needed help from my dad and fot nothing but madonna gave me the force to fight on. X x
One of the best speeches I have ever heard from anyone in the music business, man or woman. Superb. Heart felt, intelligent and real. Amazing. "To age is a sin"... how true Madonna. You are a genius Madonna. God bless this American treasure.
"I am not the owner of my talents. I'm not the owner of anything. Everything I have is a gift from God." This has made me cry. ;/ She reminds me of another beautiful soul.....a guy named Michael Jackson.
This speech is so important. It addresses so many important things. Madonna's raw honesty truly moves me - I've never looked at her this way. This should be seen by everyone.
What a beautiful and emotional speech. It's no wonder she's the queen of pop and it's not often that we see Madonna vulnerable like that. I just didn't understand the censorship of some of the comments she made, especially about the LGBT community that has always been a big supporter in her life and career. Shame on you, Billboard.
You know nothing. Madonna sold her soul to Satan many moons ago and we now see the end results. The music industry ship her off to Portugal now that her mind control has gone hey wire because she could be dangerous to them in the things she says and does.Shes at the end of the road;ROCK BOTTOM. Now she will simply decay slowly on the downward trail towards the slippery slope of hell.
Thank you. We’re all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. If you're trying to improve the world, you should start with yourself. Nothing needs more help than you do!
It's a sin to age" so true especially for an entertainer, there's a point where you have to go into hiding so the world doesn't witness the decay of time on your body. And media is aging's biggest enemy. Such a powerful speech. Love u madonna always be yourself.
@@elisabethdakak878 well it often seems like people want to keep stars young forever, people are always shocked when a star, especially women, have visably aged
It seams there is something truthful in this speach. When she was saying what she was expected to do in her life and what she had done because she was expected to do - it is basically everything what she has done in her life. She dedicated her life to companies she worked. She basically said what I was thinking all the time - she is creation of somebody else. Image of Madonna is just corporative creation and we don't actually know real Louise Ciccone. Probably she doesn't exsist. And I think it has noting to do with her gender. It has to do with people who sell their souls to the Devil. Louise Ciccone had to die Madonna to be born. Very sad. There is no way return. Now she must do everything what devil does to her, otherwise Madonna is dead.
+Damir Ilic YES MADDONNA HAS SOLD HER SOUL TO SATAN ALONG TIME AGO THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS PRAY FOR HER THAT SHE HAS REAL COURAGE AND REPENTS OR SHE SPENDS ETERNITY IN HELL SO SAD HER LIFE FOR NOTHING. ......

Let’s quit this sycophantic sh*t. You can’t deny her place as one of the most successful artists of all time in terms of units sold - male or female, and she has certainly left her mark and made it easier for those girls who came after. An Icon? Absolutely ! Ultimately though not much innovation - Holiday, Get into the Groove and that image see Bananarama, Vogue see the New York dance scene etc. Can’t think of a single song (not talking record sales here) which would go down as ground breaking or a classic. The greatest singer of all time, really? I think Aretha, Whitney, Celine, Mariah and Adele might have something to say about that....get real

I totally agree
And then you'll be annoyed after the 4th time. I get what you mean but.... no.
On the big billboards on young and dundas over and over you are a Genuine feminist and what i would imagine my older sister to be if i ever had one.xoxox
So right so true
5 years later.. 3 pm.. I am a young lady in India watching this.. overwhelmed with a bit of emotion. Contemplating what is it like to be a woman in this society..She is right. Every word of her touches the soul. That's when you know true words have been spoken... 🙏
Being a woman is the best thing! I wouldn't want it to be any other way, although there are instances where it is hard for us. But if we support each other, the world is ours, we still outnumber guys.
@@Pirlisan blah blah blah
When we saw the marches against rape over there, it took our breath away. To see so many people standing up and fighting back is amazing and inspiring. Maybe it didn't fix the problem, but if it makes one abuser think twice before abusing, I think it's worth it.
@@PirlisanWhy don't women all get together and start your own society on a desert island somewhere and come up with your own inventions / financial system / food production etc.? I mean, you all seem to dislike living in a world that men created and maintain, so why don't you all just go do it yourself? Then you won't be under the law of men.
Oh yeah...
That's right...
You can't.
Women are God's secondary human creation and you will always be that way.
Deal with it.

This woman saved my life. I was suicidal when I came out, because my family had such a hard time with it. But Madonna came on tv -I already loved her music - and said in an interview, "Gay people are my biggest fans - I wouldn't have a career without them! My brother is gay."
I knew in that moment if Madonna could love me, someone out there would love me for who I am. So, I lived.
It sounds dramatic, and it's is, but it's 100 percent the truth.
Omg ...how good I feel..someone decided to live

@@molloyfan9229 you are entitled to your wrong opinion
"when I started there was no internet, so they had to say it in my face" that is something. if that happened to artists of today I think most of them wouldn't survive.
But it IS happening to artists of today, due to the internet and twitter.
theEXOaudio I don’t think you understand what she’s saying. Back then, if someone didn’t like her, they would have to say it to her face, but the thing is, people are too afraid to do that. But now, people can hide behind the screen and hate all that they want.
@@jasonle520 yes that could be some of the instances. but her point was that if someone didn't like her, they'd say it to her face even if it was few since like you said, "people are afraid to do that" directly in her face. but remember, there are actual critics out there where some of their job is to "critic" what she does. I don't know for you, but if there were people directly saying that in my face, I'd be more bothered rather than a lot of people bashing me on social media because I could just shut down my notifications. and some of the hate today were just bandwagon. imagine, someone to say something in her face means that they really "meant" what they said probably unlike social media where people just jump on the hate train.
think about this too: madonna is still active in her career back then and now. so she's also experiencing those "behind the screen" social media hate. I bet if you search i hate madonna there's also hate going on social media on her. but the fact that she told that story where "people used to say it in my face" means that is more bothering and it affected her more than current social media thing.
and it was the 80s. I am sure most people were blunt back then.
please let's not dive into i-dont-think-you-understand-what-she-meant and just focus on the message of what she's saying. it's that hate will always be there. people should be more considerate of the words they say and actions that they do.
theEXOaudio ask taylor ...in 2009 it was still on face ...that’s why she admire Madonna
Anmolpreet Singh Yes ❤️ And Taylor was named recently « Woman Of The Decade » at this same event and her speech was iconic too
What an icon. People don't give Madonna the credit and respect that she deserves.
Just Cade lmao yes they do
She is the every thing meant to music industry for ever, but only few tried to respect what's really a woman could deserve, 'Rain 'ing so "crazy 4 u" something to rememb, with "Forbidden Love "that 'take a bow', in our life by the greatest singeress!Thanks.
She is a queen game changer everything truly inspiring
well she is interesting as a person but a terrible singer ...somehow she managed to stay in business ...is she a great person ...well who knows ..a lot of trash came out of her ... there are much more talented positive people in business ...she is just bolt and daring
It’s funny how you’re saying she is like you know her and if she was a terrible singer I highly doubt that she would’ve made it as long as she did.
"be what women feel comfortable with you being, around other men" this right here is MASSIVE. we forget as a society that its not only men judging us or labeling us but most importantly its our own kind, women, at times being even more judgmental than the men towards a sexually liberated and daring woman. I personally know many girls like this and they are easily threatened by any remotely attractive woman in their vicinity and it boils their blood to see a girl like that who is confident and unapologetic.
I agree, societal conditioning has made women internalise the misogyny they've been subjected to and now they consciously or unconsciously project that on other women.
True enough.. agree
Ditto
They still do! Just look at her Instagram comments, it’s literally just all women bashing and shaming her
💯🎯
The newer generation simply doesn't comprehend how much of a legend she is.
That's because she is not.
Otherwise they would, like that do with Michael Jackson, Maria Callas and others.
True legends are timeless

The thing that hit me hardest was when she said she wished she had a peer to lean on. But her peers vilified her as much as everyone else.
Because in 1983 she came out of nowhere and quiker than Ray of Light went viral. Dominating the entire decade through music, videos, live performances, magazines, movies, theater and even the most talked about marriage and divorce to Sean Penn.

Shes also aware of sexism and calls out other WOMEN for being sexist against man, that shows that she's an independent brave thinker. That's why I think shes a great role model.
Perhaps you hear about the times she flashed a girl on stage, that was not right and it shouldnt be tolerated. But apart from that, she is an amazing human.
It's inspiring for all the women...hats off to Madonna and her struggles...i love you....
Michael Jackson may have been a pop icon, like many other icons such as Elvis and The Beatles, but Madonna is a pop, culture, feminist, LGBTQ+, overall icon. As a Queer person, Madonna's advocacy for the gay community is something I will always be thankful for.
No one should compare them from each other. They are all great in their own field. Each have their own identity and advocacy. That's why I appreciate them aside from their music. They didn't just sing out there and go home and enjoy every pennies they have. They have shared it to the world. That's all that matters. They truly cared for every fans. Most artists nowadays sadly don't do much charities.
Darling, Michael Jackson supported multiple charities, made friends with a white boy who had aids. Invited cancer patients to his house and gave them treatment for free. Madonna is incredible and so are these people. Stop comparing them. Michael is KING.
I knew you were gay even before you said it
@@simoncowell8238 MJ indeed was a real humanitarian I have never seen a celebrity in my life that has done that much charity that he has, he’s saved lives around the world
There is literally a book with all the humanitarian work that he has done (what's known for the public) listed by months and weeks. He did something every month or week of his life, he also left 20% of his earnings to go to the charity after his death. He was such a good person it would be hard to list everything, I suggest to get more info you will be surprised.
"I remember wishing I had a female here, that I could look to for support.." that hit hard. I could feel how alone she felt at that time. What an amazing STRONG woman she truly is.
I started crying. I know the feeling. It sank my heart and broke it.
@@gushernandez25 Loneliness and depression. Most awful state of mind person could possibly have.
@@maryhill00 It is. The worst thing one could possible experience is to be surrounded by people who make you feel alone. Like Madonna said, "the most controversial thing I have ever done is to stick around."

There were no Madonna before Madonna
I’m SOoooo proud to say I’ve met Madonna!!! In 2009! In a private house social in London!! She was so nice!!! No celeb ego classist nonsense. She was wearing a tracksuit and was holding her adopted baby from Africa. Her face was like porcelain, flawless. She was really nice and treated everyone as equals. I’m glad I met her! 💖
How did you wind up there? Are you a designer or writer? Not saying you don't belong, just curious. I've long been a fan of Madonna and I gather she's pretty cool and a good soul, but it's a pity if she feels resentment towards men. That's a bit sad.

I come back to this speech every so often. It’s so goddamn powerful. It’s long, 10 minutes, and yet the whole time you can just hear a pin drop. Her gaze pierces right through everything and holds you as if she were Medusa. This woman is so powerful it is hard to comprehend.

I've seen this speech about a dozen times and every time it brings me to tears. You're right.. the light /soul /energy.. that we know as "Madonna" can move mountains and commands a room.. nay a Stadium at her whem..

It's her soul that captivates me. I love her forever and a day ♥ ♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️

Wow, Madonna. This was one of the most powerful and honest speeches on being a woman I have ever heard. It reached me to my core and is extremely empowering to me. Thank you.
"Fuck it. I'm a different kind of feminist. A bad feminist."
She is a true legend in my opinion.
Camille Paglia is way smarter and an actual feminist, unlike Madonna who is intrenched in victimhood
As an 18 year old girl I ask myself why did I hear of her only now?
All she represents is so important for us young girls and we have a few idols we look up to but she? She's strong and unapologetic on another level. Why is she so unknown among us? I truly admire her and now have hung up some quotes of her in my room.
She breaks the rules in a way I've never seen before and she inspires me on a whole other level.
I wish that more young people and especially girls become aware of her.

I'm so happy to hear your thoughts. I'm 37 and Madonna is my biggest idol, but even people my age are quite ignorant about her, and do believe it's because of sexist and ageist media. And people are like a flock of sheep as well, if one critic is slagging her off, then lots of people agree without forming an opinion for themselves. There's so much great music and energy coming from Madonna, as well as interviews, films, quotes... And oh yeah, let's not forget that she never kisses ass, which is why some people don't like her as much as the other people pleasing entertainers. She's genuine
Gina Sousa Branco You forgot Taylor Swift. Madonna was so inspiring to Taylor. As Madonna said, « before there was no Internet, so people had to say it to my face » and Taylor was criticized at the 2009 VMAs by Kanye West so she relates to that.
The boys of our time do not admire her because they have not taken the time to listen to her albums. She is iconic. I am also 18 years old and I admire her very much. She is a very strong woman.
I'm sure if she launches a biopic, the young audience will listen to her like what happened with Queen
The internet creates an information vacuum. You barely can find unbiased information there😕. Young people deserve much better than that😔

I am a Man but a sensitive pisces man. Madona is the bravest person of artistic genius that I have ever witnessed.
She is right, I’ve never took a lot interest in her, when I saw this in my recommendations I clicked on it out of curiosity, but she caught me off-guard, she talked about some things Ive been thinking about myself especially and that I let toxic opinions get to me, like being the girl everyone expects me to be while hanging around boys and always putting up an act. I don’t see men and females separated, I see personality and the human that is standing right in front of me, but society is so focused on gender roles and the mainstream flow that either you have to get real thick skin to survive being yourself emotionally and mentally or you totally loose out. Thank you for this speech Madonna.
You got it right, I agree. When I think of how strong she must have been (and still be because she always get some shit even today) I can only admire her more. And what a catalogue and career, it’s really amazing.

this is the MOST POWERFUL, GENUINE and 'right to the point' speech on women rights and working women, I have ever heard. Madonna was articulate , truthful and said it , the-way-it-is . THANK YOU Madonna. I have so much respect for you. Stick around for ever!!!!! We love you!
In 1985 Billboard said, "Madonna will be out of business in 6 months". In 2016 Madonna is Billboard's Woman of the Year.
so truth
Because Madonna has always been advocating for women rights even when it was considered “cool” “badass” or “woke” like today’s society.
Watching this 7 years later.. what a powerful and profound speech that brought me to tears.. truth is, I used to be THAT woman, the one who judged you, who would criticize you for what you looked like, acted, and behaved, I put myself on a pedestal and thought of myself as a woman of "values" who would never put myself out there as you did. How wrong was I... the beauty of aging brings wisdom though... I now know that subconsciously I was envious, not of your fame or fortune, but envious of your ability to be comfortable in your own skin, so comfortable with who you are, that other's opinions did not matter. My takeaways from this speech are to ACCEPT and embrace who you are, fully, your past and your present, your warts and all that goes with it, and to be GRATEFUL, not only for the people who support and agree with you but more so those that do not, as how you react to those who don't agree with you is your CHOICE, Madonna CHOSE to take motivation and inspiration from those who did not agree with her.
I found your comment inspiring as well as Madonna's speech. Few people really change, it's hard to see past our preconceived ideas.
Thank you for your kind comment and yes, most people sadly never find their voices. If only we can all realize we have something worth hearing❤

... could someone please explain what "feminist" means in the first place, as most recently people use words and definitions like "ready-to-use" slogans
Little known fact: Back in her early day, Rolling Stone point blank stated SHE WOULD NOT LAST. SHE WAS A FLASH IN THE PAN. They also knocked every album Led Zeppelin ever made. So they definitely made some errors of judgment over the years. Especially about my girl, Madam M, who is still standing tall, even after 35 years; LIVING LEGEND. 👍
R=They gave Madonna 6 months in the business.And hailed Cyndi Lauper as the saviour.
Rebecca Hopkins RS is such a joke and these bs artist they push.
@@martinanugent5045 Billboard made the same by comparing Madonna to Cyndi Lauper
Whitney, Michael , prince son sad
Rolling stone is always out of touch with music and its true effect on people
After all, shes an incredible and strong woman. Shes the QUEEN.
Not just a queen she's also a goddess
SO much truth in every single word she spoke. I am currently sobbing for her, for me and for all the women in the world and in history who have been oppressed and hurt by this society. Thank you Madonna
So... THIS had me cry. My respect for her was growing the more she told about her life even though i already had a lot of respect for her achievements as a musician. By now I'm not only respecting her for that, but also for her personality. I love you Madonna, you are so strong! Thank you for this speech!
Madonna has been through a lot she is stronger than ever I’m glad she doesn’t fear to be herself anymore!
if only people cared about themselves instead of madonna's loss of fear
Three minutes into her speech and I started tearing up. Madonna is one of our last great icons and legends. #TeamMadonna all day and every day.
Forever and ever
Yas
We as a society should appreciate having living legends. We should stop glorifying people when they die.
This speech itself is Oscar worthy ❤️
I am a boy but I couldn't hold my tears to this speech.
YAAAs swiftie BOYY :)
Dont cry machi
Hey, it only shows that you are human, don't let false men tell you that it's wrong to cry and express your feelings. The new masculinity is here and it is much much kinder to males than the past.
Masculinity is not about holding your tears back. It is about wiping away the tears of others. That's how you be a good human being, much more important than being a man.
Written by a swiftie 😊
Gay?
she is the most underrated artists nowdays, it's sad that a big part of society forgot what this woman made not only for woman or the lgtbq+ comunity, but society itself, she is not just a pop icon, she changed our world, and remember in the years to come if today's current female pop stars(like beyonce, gaga, swift, etc) are able to continue to do what they love to do without their age being a problem it will be thanks to this woman, she recieves hate everyday for making art at her age
Snap, snap, snap, snap!!
Halsey was listening to Madonna very carefully, like she was trying to relate things.
Halsey is kinda underrated.
Even it's a matter of shock that Madonna is not given that much respect that she deserves.
She's a wonderful Woman, Or should I say A Wonderful Artist.
I love her so much
I know, There are thousands like myself & Madonna will never know us.
But we exist & We love her So much from Where we are.
Hail Queen ♥
Even when you replay this speech and get tears out about this powerful speech is amazing. This woman is an icon. A leader. 🙌🏼
"I think that the most controversial thing I've done is to stick around"
Im quoting her from now on.
I'm a different kind of 'feminists" I'm a bad "femininst".....very iconic word by Queen of pop Madonna...❤❤
Not meaning to be rude but out of all the poignant things she’s said in this speech people in the replies constantly chooses the part where she slams feminism as the best. Why??
@@kristelpi652 maybe it makes them feel as a bad ass that's why
@@kristelpi652 amd in today's world being a bad ass is considered more strong than being a humble person ,maybe because being humble dosen't work that much idk ?
@@minajqueen2139 because once again, she went against the status quo, when even feminists disagreed with her.
I'm glad she's outspoken unlike so many sellouts in the music industry.
she's brave!
Wow
After decade queen luminiti
I have always admired Madonna for expressing herself Unapologetically uniquely. One of the greatest trailblazers of all time. She nailed it in this powerful and authentic speech. A queen and a legend 🙌 ❤️💋 and an icon!!
Madonna is the true definition of an artist. I am proud to have grown up in her lifetime of making music.
I remember dancing to "Everybody" in the clubs back in the day in 1981 or 82 and falling in love with Madonna. Saw her Like A Virgin tour and she was great. I think Madonna set the way for today's female pop stars. Her speech was incredible.
The most successful solo artist of all time in Billboard!!!!
This is the one of the reasons why people love her she always stands up for her self and for women the best speech ever
I love your comment.
I can really appreciate anyone who will stand up and protect a woman because every day of our lives, we are protecting others, and hoping that the other person would do the same if we needed them too/
I had never really cared for her music or her but I'm starting to understand the importance of who she is and what she's done for women and gay rights. I'm so proud to be a feminist.
I applaud you for being an open minded individual! Madonna is a fierce warrior!!!!
Please listen to Erotica.
I agree...her best album...i love WAITING....and Where Life Begins
Richard Myles My faves are Where Life Begins and Secret Garden, mostly for the MUSICCCC, though I sometimes read Secret Garden's lyrics when I feel down.
Waiting in companion with Did you do it? is God, the latter actually one of the few hip hop songs I really like.
And Erotica the song is stand-alone in its cold cruel queerness.
Hehe I'm listening to those right now, thanks TH-cam.
Please, read SEX!
She is a Living Legend. She paved the way for FEMALE POP STARS. People need to respect her for the career she’s had and the impact and influence she’s had on the music industry
Red BRODFED, that's your opinion.
@@milzijex7340 no bitch, that's his fact. You don't get to decide what's an opinion. Idc if u hate Madonna, but she did pave the way for female pop artists whether you like it or not
Milzi Jex it’s factual. Without Madonna then the other female pop stars wouldn’t be doing what the were doing.
@@nathanieljohnson5908 Many Gaga fans here everywhere , just full of jealousy
This is the best speech in the entire existence of earth
YESSSS
Uhm.... i have a dream?
Fuck yes
@PC Random modern feminism is like taking a vaccine that you are allready are immune to. Its actually retarded
... of course LOL
I love her. Sad all of our 80s legends are gone. George M. Bowie. Prince. Whitney. Michael. She is a living legend and sad the children of this generation won’t have what we had in music. Inspiration!.
the most Succeessful solo artist of all time in the Billboard Hot 100!!!!
That’s Mariah Carey idiot
@@Fan-vv8wb Mariah is the female one. All time is The Beatles
It’s really Madonna. I think Mariah is for the 90´s but overall it’s Madonna. Look it up : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Billboard_Hot_100_chart_achievements_and_milestones
@katy perry i know
@@Fan-vv8wb Poor Mariah... Madonna has 13 singles and 12 albums number one in the UK. Mariah just 3 singles and 2 albums #1 there. Mariah is local and Madonna is truly global
I confess, I cried watching. I love Madonna and her bravery, for so long was attacked for having an opinion and even then continued fighting.
+Gabriel Veiga GABRIELA YOUR A SISSY BOY SO STUPID
Gabriel Veiga and she's very clever she's everywhere across the globe watching. She is scanning the comments. She cares about us
me too i cried. i love her so much
You cannot even put a sentence together. Put down the crack pipe! Madonna obviously is not irrelevant or millions wouldn't be discussing her and watching her every move! Her last tour just 2 years ago was a huge success globally so Hana you have no idea what you are even saying.
Julie Newman truth is hurt. Kadarshian and kylie jenner's ass are more relevant than her now.
never really took a lot of notice of Madonna over the years but recently started listening to her more mysterious sounding songs like Frozen and come to realise how really talented she is . Love "Nothing really Matters " its cool and yet a dance song . I'm hooked now .She is Amazing .
Ray of Light is a masterpiece. Probably her best album.
listen to "has to be' or "mer girl" you'll be surprised
Madonna for me, was never was a musician that I listened to much, but I did realize how important she was throughout the years. This speech here I did listen to and she really said true and honest words of experience and wisdom. A Very wonderful and soul deep speech Madonna. 🤘🏽
I fucking love this speech. I'm so happy that she has finally allowed herself to be vulnerable in public and show her humanity. Here she is fiercely intelligent, tender, and yet totally defiant.
youtubeuser I agree, she really opened up..a true leader of the people shows her feelings. I loved it when she took her strength to carry on, saying "No".
Exactly! Impressing her capacity to be vunerable and yet strong at the same time!
That part really affected me. It's like the 34 years of strength she has had to project almost seemed to give way for a split second. Even in her vulnerability she will not give her haters the satisfaction. That last line was one for the ages.
Seeing Kesha cry at 10:12 had me in sadness and made me cry!
SHAME on Billboard editors for EDITING OUT ""I stand before you as a doormat. Oh, I mean, as a female entertainer"
exactly what I meant to say, as it's NOT a full speech at all... but I guess, beggars can't be choosers...so even the bleeped out, edited version is a gift, and an inspirational one...
Why did they do that ? :/
This makes me cry everytime i watch it. I thank god for her being here she gave me hope after my mum died. And i have clung onto that emmotionally ever since. I needed help from my dad and fot nothing but madonna gave me the force to fight on. X x
One of the best speeches I have ever heard from anyone in the music business, man or woman. Superb. Heart felt, intelligent and real. Amazing. "To age is a sin"... how true Madonna. You are a genius Madonna. God bless this American treasure.
i hope you took iq test before posting this
i dont really have much to say but.. damn.. she killed it... great speech
"I am not the owner of my talents. I'm not the owner of anything. Everything I have is a gift from God."
This has made me cry. ;/
She reminds me of another beautiful soul.....a guy named Michael Jackson.
💙❤
@@moonwalkerforever1882 hi! I just wanna say that I'm happy everytime I find someone who likes MJ and Madonna at the same time.. Spread the love👌❤️🌹👍
❤️🎤
💕🖤✨
I love you so much Madonna thanks for everything that you had done for the world to acceptance and love you are a legend
This speech is so important. It addresses so many important things. Madonna's raw honesty truly moves me - I've never looked at her this way. This should be seen by everyone.
What a beautiful and emotional speech. It's no wonder she's the queen of pop and it's not often that we see Madonna vulnerable like that. I just didn't understand the censorship of some of the comments she made, especially about the LGBT community that has always been a big supporter in her life and career. Shame on you, Billboard.
You know nothing. Madonna sold her soul to Satan many moons ago and we now see the end results. The music industry ship her off to Portugal now that her mind control has gone hey wire because she could be dangerous to them in the things she says and does.Shes at the end of the road;ROCK BOTTOM. Now she will simply decay slowly on the downward trail towards the slippery slope of hell.
Thank you. We’re all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. If you're trying to improve the world, you should start with yourself. Nothing needs more help than you do!
Debbie Harry wtf you don’t even make any sense 🤦♀️ go back under your rock you troll
Thats because you are not aware of the truth about Madonna. Thats why i don t make any sense to you.
If I toss you a bone would you then go away?
It's a sin to age" so true especially for an entertainer, there's a point where you have to go into hiding so the world doesn't witness the decay of time on your body. And media is aging's biggest enemy.
Such a powerful speech. Love u madonna always be yourself.
A Sin to age???? It would be monotonous to stay the same for ever.
@@elisabethdakak878 well it often seems like people want to keep stars young forever, people are always shocked when a star, especially women, have visably aged
What a speech from Madonna !!! Absolutely spoken from the heart.
This icon opened the door wide open to most of the current young female artists.
this speech is inspirational.
A copy
Madonna is inspirational, always.
no it's victim pussy shit.
It seams there is something truthful in this speach. When she was saying what she was expected to do in her life and what she had done because she was expected to do - it is basically everything what she has done in her life. She dedicated her life to companies she worked. She basically said what I was thinking all the time - she is creation of somebody else. Image of Madonna is just corporative creation and we don't actually know real Louise Ciccone. Probably she doesn't exsist. And I think it has noting to do with her gender. It has to do with people who sell their souls to the Devil. Louise Ciccone had to die Madonna to be born. Very sad. There is no way return. Now she must do everything what devil does to her, otherwise Madonna is dead.
+Damir Ilic YES MADDONNA HAS SOLD HER SOUL TO SATAN ALONG TIME AGO THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS PRAY FOR HER THAT SHE HAS REAL COURAGE AND REPENTS OR SHE SPENDS ETERNITY IN HELL SO SAD HER LIFE FOR NOTHING. ......
she spoke to so many women sitting in the audience like kesha and bea miller. this is so beautiful to see because I can see, that they are glad to see madonna standing in front of them and is talking about what young women need.
Being an artist in general is scary. You really put yourself out there and people judge. I admire her greatly.
she made me cry with her extravagant speech .she speaks my experiences in life too !I now have even More Respact for HER !
9:51 “...to the doubters, the naysayers, to everyone that gave me hell & said I could not, that I would not, that I must not... your resistance made me stronger!” 👏🏾💘💯
The best female songwriter, singer and music producer of all time!
No one can beat her
What is "to stick around" she is referring to? Please tell?
@@SalmanKhan-vk4jz No one wants OLD pop stars. She stayed in show biz. That's what "stick around" means - not leaving.
Let’s quit this sycophantic sh*t. You can’t deny her place as one of the most successful artists of all time in terms of units sold - male or female, and she has certainly left her mark and made it easier for those girls who came after. An Icon? Absolutely ! Ultimately though not much innovation - Holiday, Get into the Groove and that image see Bananarama, Vogue see the New York dance scene etc. Can’t think of a single song (not talking record sales here) which would go down as ground breaking or a classic. The greatest singer of all time, really? I think Aretha, Whitney, Celine, Mariah and Adele might have something to say about that....get real
@@DEAD-FROM-NY I think the poor old dear should stick around as long as she and her fans want. The tragedy is that she’s no longer relevant and can’t see it.
Woah.....I believe this woman just changed my life.....forever.
Beautiful speech from a truly inspiring artist. Madonna is more than an amazing artist, she's true inspiration.
