I think MikeB is partial to Madonna because she incorporated a handgun -- as a prop -- in her latest concert series in an effort to make guns look bad.
Whether or not you like Madonna, she is quite talented and I would definitely rank her in the top 10 female pop artists of all time.
Personally I would put her musical and vocal talents at number three behind Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey and I would put her at number one for videos and concert performances.
Sorry Mikeb, it was Bette Midler who paved the way for Madonna. Even Lady Gaga copied Bette's 'mermaid in a wheelchair'! If you wanna go back farther, Sophie Tucker paved the way for Bette. Regardless, Madonna did indeed take it to the next level. My point was that Madonna was not and is not the end all, be all of female performers. orlin sellers
Having just watched the video, I have two observations:
1. As has been the case in many films set in New York City, the Twin Towers make an appearance here. Since 9/11, that's taken on a meaning that wasn't anticipated before the attack.
2. I generally like the roles that Danny Aiello plays.
By the way, how is this a pro-life video or song? The character declares her choice to keep her baby, but I didn't hear any comment about what the law should be.
Greatest ever? Could it be the nipple at 1:38 that is influencing your opinion?
ReplyDeleteI never noticed that. You've got a good eye.

LMAO!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreatest E-V-E-R ??????
All of E-v-e-r isn't here yet.
Besides that, her singing(?) is weak and out of tune quite a bit, thank some gawd for studio reverb, compression, and auto-tune.
Singing aside, her performances are certainly no better than Beyonce, Niki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Bette Midler, Katy Perry, etc.
So, I'm guessing TS is correct - it's the nipple. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I meant EVAH.

Madonna has talent in her genre--pop music. I don't have much respect for or enjoyment of pop anything.

I noticed the Towers too and I think Aiello is brilliant in this video which is more like a short movie.

ReplyDeleteBy the way, are you purposely trying to be a tedious pain in the ass?
DeleteUntil you stop trying to take away our rights? But what in particular bothers you here? As is typical for you, your title is misleading.
