It cracks me when kids today think their pop stars of the current time are so progressive and daring... Madonna was doing revolutionary things 30 years ago ! What a pioneer and groundbreaker. Iconic.
What gets me more is when the social media generation act brand new. Acting like Madonna is new to this. Madonna is one of the architects -- the blue print
This album is a F*****G MASTERPIECE of contemporary pop music... I bought in vinyl when it was released (double album in gatefold), and I thought it was damaged because the noise at the begining of this song hehehe... And I (and my brother and friends) couldn't believe what came out of the speakers... THE BASS!!! I remember we had to lower the bass because in the mix is so loud!!! It was an amazing experience to listen all the album that night, over and over... Few weeks later a friend bought the book "Sex" and all was complete... Timeless, eternal, genious Madonna...
totally agree ! the album was crushed only with the controversy around the Book "Sex" ... But soooo much GREAT SONGS in this album .. indeed ALL Bye bye Baby Words Thief of Hearts Deeper & Deeper Bad Girl Rain Waiting Where all life begins ....
It was a tough time for us Madonna fans around this time, the press just crucified her yet she was doing some of her best work. This video is displaying the fictional Dita characters sexual fantasies, something men do to women all the time, she did it from the woman's point of view. It's just brilliant
Not only the press, many of Madonna's fans also didn't liked the complete turn around from Like A Prayer to Erotica less pop sound and Madonnna's visual. The sales deeply declined at the time from 1989 LAP 15M WW to 1992 Erotica 5M WW
@@Che-tm4of That's not true at all. I'm here in the UK and she was torn apart for over a year non stop by the British tabloids. In fact she got it the worst here in the UK. In fact she opened the Girlie Show tour in the UK because it was the place that was hating on her the worst.
@@Vertigotheatre1 im here too. She did get shit but I don’t recall it being as harsh as the states, that’s why she toured her first I believe, because Europe wasn’t as hot up as America.
I can't believe her Like a Prayer & Justify My Love videos were more scandalous than this one. Erotica is the real scandal. Anyway, I love that era so much. If you listen to her Erotica songs, you'll realize how deep and creative the album is
Long story short. I bought erotica on vinyl last year, and some of her other albums. A lot is because I found your channel, you made me open my eyes and listen to her again. I used to listen to many of her album as a kid/teenager +15 years ago. I enjoy all her works so much today, so thank you. ♡ Last weekend I told my boyfriend, while holding the vinyl that erotica is definitely my all time favorite album. Madonna make me feel strong as a woman! ♡
Madonna actually released 6 music videos from her Erotica album - “Erotica”, “Rain”, “Bad Girl”, “Bye Bye Baby”, “Fever” and “Deeper And Deeper”. I understand how Erotica, her sex book and Body Of Evidence film can be seen as controversial back in 1992 but looking back now it was all pretty tame. She could’ve gone even farther sexually and explicitly than she did. Anyway I loves me some Madonna. She’s my favorite female music artist. Asking my mother to buy me her Erotica album when I was a kid probably was around the time when I realized that I’m gay lol.
Don't mean to be that guy but there is no official music video to "Bye Bye Baby" as it was only released in certain territories (Germany, Australia and Japan). ;)
@@theKarstenR there is a live video for “Bye Bye Baby” from her Girlie Show Tour. It may have only been released in certain countries but it counts as a video and single.👍🏾😅
It's su funny, when she was stopping traffic completely naked in the middle of the street, people thought she had a melt down or something, and she was actually shooting a video 😂
The thing with Madonna is she doesn't just shock she also brings the visual and sonic goods. Genius beyond compare. The world will discuss her in 100 years time- can we truly say that for her contemporaries then and now. No.
I like the LO-Fi sound of the entire album which was a deliberate choice to add to that very warm, club style atmosphere of the record. This album is one the Madonna's greatest. When they were recording they kept it as simple as possible with minimal number of tracks so the songs would sound a bit raw, and not overly-smooth or overproduced. The same approach was made for the "Erotica" video, with that grainy film and overall vintage vibe. It doesn't look pornographic. it looks artistic.
yep a woman and that she did it "on her own" and was not just asked by Playboy or something and then state: oh just tasteful pictures i can show my grandchildren.... She was the boss, she decided, and that a woman dares to choose to present herself in such a sexual way was a big part of it.
@Marvin Morawski Went too far according to what standards? That’s so hypocritical. If David Bowie or Prince had done the same at the time they would have been Womanizers and acclaimed. Madonna was judged because she was a woman and she was clearly expressing her sexuality without filters.
I’m so glad that this song is getting some love from you ! It’s such a great song. The groove is sick, the drums and percussions, the construction of the song... can’t get tired of her Erotica album anyway. It’s witty and clever too. Lyrics are great. Madonna’s been doing it like no other. Let’s refer to her as the pure pop genius that she is.
Erotica contains a sample of Fayrouz called "El Yom", a Lebanese singer. From Wikipedia: In 1992, Madonna used some parts of Fairuz's songs in her album without permission; the singers settled the matter outside of court, but Madonna's album and single were prohibited in Lebanon.
This is a highly underrated album, the start of a period of critically acclaimed albums leading to Bedtime Stories, Ray of Light and Music, a change of direction for her and her most creative period . It wasn't the huge commercial success it should have been, but that was mainly due to the videos not being aired.
I do like this Madonna era. This song is like the younger sister of Justify My love. That song is in my top 5 Madonna songs of all time. Incredibly sexy and seductive.
More like the next stage of sexual experimentation from Justify My Love. Justify My Love came first and was a lot less sexual than Erotica. Justify My Love started Madonna's hyper-sexual era, and Erotica ended it. I think she pushed it until she couldn't go any further. Any further would be pornography... LOL!
I absolutely loved this. The album came out on my birthday here in Finland. It was the best day ever. :D I bought it on vinyl first, then other mediums later.
I have to admit I was shocked with the direction her music took starting in 1990 with justify my love (the video was banned by MTV) to her Erotica album. No commercially successful artist (especially a woman) at that time would dare sing about sexual fantasies so openly and blatantly as Madonna did. She had the guts to do it unapologetically. In 1995 she came out with the song Human Nature where Madonna fires back at all the people criticizing her…”you punish me for telling you my fantasies breaking all the rules I did not make.” Great video.
I look forward to your Madonna reactions! You’re my favorite on YT by far! This song is my most favorite among the many other favorites! I gravitate to this song more often than others! Great reaction by the way! Hope to see more soon!
Thanks for your reaction! You have no idea the controversy she caused when releasing the album and the book Sex🤣. It was a hard time for us fans at that time 😁, everybody said her career was over, she was never to recover from this, blablabla... And the the Girlie Show happened proving everyone wrong once again...
I usually don’t enjoy this kind of content other than random entertainment, but I’ve watched your reactions pretty steadily over the last few months. You are enjoyable, entertaining, and genuine so I thought instead of lurking that I should all out subscribe. Thank you!
I was 13 when this was released. I was so intrigued by this exploration about human d sure and how free she was to talk about sexuality. Conservative hypocrisy vetoed this album from major distribution/ promotional purposes, which was so ridiculous. Erotica is one of Madonna’s best albums with classics like “Deeper and Deeper” that are essential to her career. You should explore this era.
This is my favourite Madonna track. It's so sleazy, you can feel the steam rising as soon as it starts. The video is her best & she coul get away with it back then. She hasn't always aged so gracefully but she was beautiful back then. We don't get any new dirty songs anymore from today's artists who sound so formula. There is a slightly slowed down version here on youtube that you'll find if you look for the male voice version of it. It's not a guy but sounds brilliant.
ICONIC!!!! The vinyl sound is on propuse, I had the CD and it had it. At that time I was confused, it was one of my first CDs... I though CD sounded like vinyls!!
My favourite time for her … the tour before this Blond Ambition and then this one on the Erotica tour were stunning !! Amazing songs for sure !!! Wow !!!
Well this was the thing that made me fall in love with her completely back then. That concept of Erotica the album and Sex the book, both part of a same work, it was brilliant. And the photography of the book was amazing, of course with the help of her eternal partner Steven Meisel. That era was just absolute genius from every angle. There were references of the 30s in a lot of her photoshoots in that period, Dita Parlo and Marlene Dietrich were big inspiration, in those days she also made an editorial with Steven called "Flesh and Fantasy" for Rolling Stone, it was amazing. And that "Hot Madonna" cover for Vanity Fair again with Steven Meisel, but with a 60s look aproach, and again, an amazing set of pictures. And the thing is, nobody, no other artist, or at least female artist, you would see going that way, not in a million years, that was the special thing about Madonna that made her absolutely unique. She would come up with things that you would never, ever, get from any other female artist in the world. Like her singing Like a virgin in the Girlie Show tour, dressed as a man, emulating Marlene Dietrich in the film Morocco, singing with german accent. I mean. That era was definitely the most interesting and inspiring in her career. Absolutamente genial. Im so glad you enjoyed this track, after so many years still is really a cool track. Saludos desde 🙂🇨🇱
Erotica was Madonna's big push out of the mainstream after soooo many hits! Phenomenal. I love your articulate perspectives on all my old music Derek. i grew up in the 70's/80's and followed closely the careers of Madonna, ABBA, Kate Bush and many many others. Really LOVE your ABBA journey BTW!!
Loved this sooo much. My name is Dita. I"ll be your mistress tonight. Any time baby! Do Justify my Love. The video was outright banned from any type of broadcast and ppl were in spasms of outrage and prurience. A number one single all over the world and the first video single to be sold in shops and it broke all records for sales. She and her friends and then boyfriend Tony Ward hired out a few floors of a Paris hotel and did their damn thing. It was inspiring and breathtaking and one of a kind. Never to be repeated or topped again. It is a high water mark in music video history and let ppl know for certain she wasn't jokin" around any more. And she wasn't gonna keep her mouth shut. Queen. J
Another masterpiece by the Queen. She's not afraid to go where no else has gone because she's got and still has the biggest balls on the planet!! She does what she wants!
I do have the album on Vinyl, as well as the single! I do love listening to it better than streaming or CD... It is the experience! Only the one that hurts you, can make you feel better...
hi this was madonna's first album to be released on cd support. she madonna loved vinyl and decided to incorporate it into the song plus she bought the cheapest microphones on the market to get a dirtier sound on her voice. in that same period the sex book was also released from which the music video was taken on the various photo sets, in addition with the book there was a cd with a version of erotica with different text.
What you described as the sound being bad quality was actually intentional. She wanted it to sound raw. other's have reacted to the video as 'poor quality' but again, that was intentional and matches the style of the song.
It's funny to watch this video and think back when it was released. Here in Brazil, no surprise, the ''Erotica'' video was shown on TV at any time. I remember watching it in the middle of the afternoon while having a snack. I was 14 years old then. My dad was not very fond of the idea of me enjoying Madonna's music, but, well, whatever.
The Erotica was awesome, liberating album. It came it out the same time as her photograph book on "Sex". The U.S. press trashed her nonstop. You should check out her song "Where life begins" and "Fever" Madonna has balls!
Erotic.... “My name is Dita I'll be your mistress tonight I'll be your loved one darling Turn off the light I'll be your sorceress, your heart's magician I'm not a witch, I'm a love technician I'll be a guiding light in your darkest hour I'm going to change your life, I'm like a poison flower”....
If some people here in America are uncomfortable watching this then don’t watch don’t cause it to get banned I wonder if people are still uncomfortable watching this
There was an hour special with Robin Leach , talking to her friends and fans when the sex book was released. It was great. They did a voting poll to see if Madonna went to far. 75% said no , she didn’t.
Fun to watch a whole new generation discovering Madonna. At the time, radio stations didn't know what to do with this song. Now, it could be contemporary to what is being produced. I could hear beats like this on a chill lounge station I listen to. Very ahead of its time. You are, of course, watching the uncensored version which MTV and other video channels at the time couldn't show in the kind of heavy rotation a mega star like Madonna was used to, apart from selected timeslots in very late-night prime-time. The only way to watch this video was to buy it. The video is a marketing extension of the double whammy promotion of the album "Erotica" (its titular song the first single) and the coffee table book "Sex", authored by Madonna, which was a collection of photographs taken by Steven Miesel showcasing Madonna (and some fellow celebrity friends like actress Isabella Rossallini, supermodel Naomi Campbell, and rappers Big Daddy Kane and Vanilla Ice, her boyfriend at the time) in various sexual situations, accompanied by texts written by Madonna in the guise of the dominatrix Dita detailing her myriad sexual fantasies. The video itself has a meta-element in that it has no real storyline other than showing us clips of the photo shoots for the "Sex" book, held together by Madonna's clever performance as Dita in a 60's-like underground peep show. Watching the video out of context with the book, one can imagine the video is a sensational collection of interplaying sexual fantasies and scenarios. Stylistically, it is one of her most brilliant videos - like the song, gritty yet elegant, simple yet smart, sinister yet liberating ... along the lines of what you said, she knew how to make the complex look deceptively simple, the mark of a true artist.
So glad you're back to reacting to Madonna's videos. Don't get me wrong I enjoy your album journey a lot but I missed this. Please do "Justify My Love" next (to stay on the topic of classy sex ;) ).
I have it on vinyl! "I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck, I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to..." you can infer what rhymes with truck. Also, there is a version of Erotica that came with the Sex book in a Compact Disc format, which has different lyrics and her voice is much clearer. It's quite amazing. th-cam.com/video/SxDnbc5m1O4/w-d-xo.html
We say a lot has changed since this was released but she’s the reason why that change has happened. This song went along way to changing a lot despite the backlash at the time.

Another masterpiece by the Queen. She's not afraid to go where no else has gone because she's got and still has the biggest balls on the planet!! She does what she wants!
I do have the album on Vinyl, as well as the single! I do love listening to it better than streaming or CD... It is the experience!
Only the one that hurts you, can make you feel better...
Interpretation of art. She rocks!!! Love your show and insight. Check out, Prince and Madonna ~ Love Song.
I have this album on vinyl! It's fantastic!
“I’ll teach you how to f***” which was replaced with “aah”. Rhymes with “truck” haha!
I got this album on vinyl, bought it in 1992 and have played the hell out of it. 🕺💋🕺💋🕺
Jungle Boogie was sampled in this song. The way it was placed is genius.
hi this was madonna's first album to be released on cd support. she madonna loved vinyl and decided to incorporate it into the song plus she bought the cheapest microphones on the market to get a dirtier sound on her voice. in that same period the sex book was also released from which the music video was taken on the various photo sets, in addition with the book there was a cd with a version of erotica with different text.
What you described as the sound being bad quality was actually intentional. She wanted it to sound raw. other's have reacted to the video as 'poor quality' but again, that was intentional and matches the style of the song.
the kiss is with NAOMI and the vynil scratch at the beginning and end is intentionally part of the song! My fav from this album is THIEF of HEARTS
This is type of music you’d hear in a bathhouse or cinema, playing on loop with porn.... I mean, I dunno... bahaha! Dereck, you’re a freak! Love it!
It's funny to watch this video and think back when it was released. Here in Brazil, no surprise, the ''Erotica'' video was shown on TV at any time. I remember watching it in the middle of the afternoon while having a snack. I was 14 years old then. My dad was not very fond of the idea of me enjoying Madonna's music, but, well, whatever.
The Erotica was awesome, liberating album. It came it out the same time as her photograph book on "Sex". The U.S. press trashed her nonstop. You should check out her song "Where life begins" and "Fever" Madonna has balls!
I loved this.Lots of people thought she'd gone too far.
for me is on of the most atemporal album of her, she was ahead of her time
@@juanandres724 I agree,it blew a lot of small minds.
Erotic.... “My name is Dita
I'll be your mistress tonight
I'll be your loved one darling
Turn off the light
I'll be your sorceress, your heart's magician
I'm not a witch, I'm a love technician
I'll be a guiding light in your darkest hour
I'm going to change your life, I'm like a poison flower”....
luv that remix
👑 Queen all the time MADONNA much love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Love your video and it's not even over.
💖
If some people here in America are uncomfortable watching this then don’t watch don’t cause it to get banned I wonder if people are still uncomfortable watching this
I think some still are uncomfortable hahahaha
People are intimidated when sex enters the conversation but when it's war, it's met with unbridled enthusiasm.
Madonna is a great artist
There was an hour special with Robin Leach , talking to her friends and fans when the sex book was released. It was great. They did a voting poll to see if Madonna went to far. 75% said no , she didn’t.
Fun to watch a whole new generation discovering Madonna. At the time, radio stations didn't know what to do with this song. Now, it could be contemporary to what is being produced. I could hear beats like this on a chill lounge station I listen to. Very ahead of its time. You are, of course, watching the uncensored version which MTV and other video channels at the time couldn't show in the kind of heavy rotation a mega star like Madonna was used to, apart from selected timeslots in very late-night prime-time. The only way to watch this video was to buy it. The video is a marketing extension of the double whammy promotion of the album "Erotica" (its titular song the first single) and the coffee table book "Sex", authored by Madonna, which was a collection of photographs taken by Steven Miesel showcasing Madonna (and some fellow celebrity friends like actress Isabella Rossallini, supermodel Naomi Campbell, and rappers Big Daddy Kane and Vanilla Ice, her boyfriend at the time) in various sexual situations, accompanied by texts written by Madonna in the guise of the dominatrix Dita detailing her myriad sexual fantasies. The video itself has a meta-element in that it has no real storyline other than showing us clips of the photo shoots for the "Sex" book, held together by Madonna's clever performance as Dita in a 60's-like underground peep show. Watching the video out of context with the book, one can imagine the video is a sensational collection of interplaying sexual fantasies and scenarios. Stylistically, it is one of her most brilliant videos - like the song, gritty yet elegant, simple yet smart, sinister yet liberating ... along the lines of what you said, she knew how to make the complex look deceptively simple, the mark of a true artist.
React to the full Erotica album please! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I got the notification and thought to myself, "Dereck, they're playing your song." :D
Оправдай мою любовь ❤Justify my love❤тоже шикарно❤
You are the Best Reacter!
LEGENDARY!!!
iconic album. so ahead of her time. Queen.
Most controversial step ever made by a female artist..!! Love it..!! And yes, I have it on vinyl..!! I remember all the drama she had after that.
So glad you're back to reacting to Madonna's videos. Don't get me wrong I enjoy your album journey a lot but I missed this.
Please do "Justify My Love" next (to stay on the topic of classy sex ;) ).
The brass instrumentation is a sample of "Jungle Boogie". This whole album is a brilliant masterpiece
The reason things have changed is because of madonna
The vinyl effect is intentional, and included on all versions of the album. The samples are what you find muffled. Also intended.
What other pop singer has come up with something like this between 1992 and 2021?
NONE
I think Janet tried with Velvet Rope. day late...
Whoa! Lose your pants?! Yes please!!!! I have Erotica on vinyl and the 12" on vinyl as well
Yes please before and after!
I have it on vinyl! "I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck, I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to..." you can infer what rhymes with truck. Also, there is a version of Erotica that came with the Sex book in a Compact Disc format, which has different lyrics and her voice is much clearer. It's quite amazing. th-cam.com/video/SxDnbc5m1O4/w-d-xo.html
I own the Erotica album on Vinyl it sounds amazing
We say a lot has changed since this was released but she’s the reason why that change has happened. This song went along way to changing a lot despite the backlash at the time.
I love it
