Madonna: H&M ad 2 yrs ago "director's cut"

do they really have "directors cuts" of telly ads?

Madonna: Max Factor not really rare

not really rare because it was all over our telly 10 years ago

when they say "lasts 11 hours" I thought they meant this commercial ~ hahahh

+ notice how much more flattering are the tones than (original) black and white, below

Madonna: Max Factor

Now this shows the power of cutting. From foundation (above) they've moved on to lippy... and boy doesn't she make a hash out of it. "We've all gotta get a grip" = I NEED to get a grip, Madonna

Madonna, Britney, Christina: Like a Virgin

This is from the 2003 American Music awards. I was so badly addicted to heroin at this time that nothing like this could possibly have invaded my consciousnesss... Saw this for the first time today!

Madonna: Elle Shoot

Still looks airbrushed to death on the telly... I think that's what they call wash-out lighting. This purloined from M-filer.

Madonna MTV Competition

OK I slipped this from M-filer's blog. As he points out, she IS a good comic actress. But has rarely been given the chance to shine... hey-hum. That is life I s'pose...

Madonna Bootleg Vid

Madonna singing Causin' A Commotion etc

I'm putting this in with "celebrity" rather than "music" as the quality's so low, only hardcore fans will be interested in this one

especially as it shows off what a truly "talented" singer she actually is ...

Madonna Erotica

Am I alone in finding this video rather creepy and the overall tone not only sinister but pretty depraved..?

Her message to "her public" seems to be I am sophisticated but you lot aren't so I'm going to teach you about something you know very little, if anything, about. When actually we all do know about S&M and know we don't like it!

Some of the shots make her look really good. But the overall shadowiness I find quite spooky. Not "erotic" at all.

And the words of her song "erotic, erotic ~ put your hands all over my body" ~ basically a very teenage expression of sentiments clash with the rest of her purportedly sophisicated song... "I don't think you know what pain is; I don't think you've gone that way" ... etc.

I'd be intrigued to hear anybody else's critique of this vid.




I put this here rather than in my musical collection as the musical interest to this is minimal. It's with this video that Madonna's career took a nosedive in the early 1990s. She seems to be sneering at her public: if you're not into all this you're bourgeois and boring. Actually the three fingers were pointing right back because we'd all got bored of her!

They had no idea ...

Madonna 1989 Pepsi Commercial

This is the one that she got $5 million for and famously had to give the money back (or didn't give it back, depending on which version you believe) following the Like a Prayer video furore:
