@@gothictdk3792 It's been a while, but my recollection is that a bunch of religious extremists complained that any use of words like "Madonna" or "prayer" which were not in a christian religious context were offensive and needed to be banned. Since they've lost that battle, they're now trying to ban different language. So, similar issues, different decade.
@@RyanConnell5150 Some fun facts, Madonna wrote the lyrics for "Like A Prayer" but her co-writer Patrick Leonard thought the line "I'm on my knees, I wanna take you there" would be considered too controversial and wanted Madonna to change it. But Madonna refused 🥰
This is not the full commercial. I was one of the kids in that commercial in 89, a bunch of school girls in uniform from Lycée Français. We each got paid $100 which seemed enormous
This is the short version. I saw it on tv before it got banned. I was glued to tv, crying, jumping, screaming, like it was the happiest moments of my life. I would only drink Pepsi. First there was a commercial for the upcoming commercial. The world was waiting. There was a kid in the other one. Headline News everywhere in the world.
There’s only one Queen and it’s Madonna! 30 years and she was right and on point with the Like a Prayer video and sad that Pepsi took 30 years to support it !
Pepsi you did the right thing but Madonna deserves a public apology for joining in censoring her when she gave a voice to those who did not have one 😮❤
How did Pepsi do the right thing? The sing was about God basically so how is that the right thing nothing was wrong with song nor commercial...That's whack
Yeah but they paid her 5 million dollars for a commercial they chose not to air so it's their prerogative to apologize to Madonna or not. Pepsi decided to pull their ad (shown here) after seeing Madonna's actual Like a Prayer video (which featured burning crosses and Madonna kissing a young black man depicted as Jesus Christ) and they paid the price a second time for not being a part of the spectacle that was and still is 'Madonna' today!
In the original, the young girl is Madonna, dreaming of singing and dancing while like a prayer plays in the background. Fast cuts of adult Madonna dacing while the younger Madonna vies her on a screen and mimics dancing and singing. At the end young Madonna is at her own birthday a bout to blow out her birthday cake candles and future Madonna now sitting in her house looking at younger Madonna through a tv says, “go ahead, make a wish” and cuts to young Madonna, fades to black, with Pepsi logo fading in and right under it, it says, A Generation Ahead. It’s a fantastic and sweet commercial but too long for tv clocking in at almost 2 minutes.
@@FerrerZorolaThe sequence is totally different compared to the original advertisement from 1989. After all, you can see for yourself, because there are quite a few people who have posted this advertisement on their YT channels....
That’s right ❤Great move Pepsi. There should be a new collaboration. What you walked out on a quarter of a century ago, #LikeAPrayerWorldTour, remember, is in front of you to make amends. Something extraordinary special for #TheCelebrationTour. Back in 1989, in Istanbul, Turkey, I used to record the commercial on a cassette player to have Like A Prayer to listen. There were no record stores and music was dominated but Turkish music. Until the radio started playing, because the commercial had stopped broadcasting suddenly 😩 that was my only copy. This brought so many memories ❤
Madonna definitely was ahead of the game & broke so many grounds. And because of her, many doors were open for so many future female artists to express themselves and shine.
She actually moved things backwards, she's just a narcissistic capitalist. that's why no one at my son's high school has barely heard of her period and they know who Queen and The Rolling Stones are.
Just loved seeing Pepsi bring back this groundbreaking commercial. She paved the way for female artists across the board. Still love her songs!!! Timeless. I hated Pepsi for "canceling" her commercial.

i was a teen witnessing the controversy in 1989. as a mega fan since her debut, in my opinion this is her BEST look EVER! she’s so beautiful as a brunette, but that blonde streak was everything ♥️
The commercial loses it's entire impact when it's all chopped up like this. The shots with the little Madonna and the whole context of Madonna watching old home movies of her younger self is what made the commercial special.

At the time, Madonna was accused of blasphemy.
The fuss was about the music video for the song not the song itself.
