Great reaction, thank you for catching that the same set was used for the church and jail scenes…which was all a stage for a liturgical play.

I think it’s genuinely one of the top five music videos of all time. It’s an extraordinary piece of work, so ahead of its time.

Thank you - there´s so much going on in this one - the main idea behind it all is obviously racism, but she also took it a bit further and wanted to compare religious and sexual ecstasy and that obviously rubbed some people the wrong way.. add some stigmata, burning crosses and martyrdom and voila, you have a ban from the Vatican.. Oh the good old days when music videos were multi layered and full of meanings, not just butt shaking :D

There’s nothing more iconic in pop history that Madonna dancing in front of burning crosses.

Amazing reaction guys.

Great reaction guys! Pepsi definitely dropped her for this but because she had a contract she still received her $5 million...

Thanks guys for taking my request! Really glad you watched the Pepsi commercial first like I suggested. In addition to the burning crosses, Pepsi was also pissed that she was kissing a (black) man on an altar and “writhing around “ in a church. Lol. I was 16 back in ‘89 and it was definitely a huge scandal!!
