I think the last person who "Caused A Commotion" at the VMA's was Kanye West when he took that award from Taylor Swift.  2009 I believe.  Or Miley Cyrus dancing in her underwear.  

Yeah there's just nothing there now and the show just comes across more tacky to me than anything.  

@Blue SkiesThat's right I forgot about that. In fact, I thought that happened at the Grammys or AMA's, but you are right, it happened at the VMA's that year.  Though, he didn't take the award from her.  He simply interrupted her acceptance speech, by taking her mic and blabbering on about Beyonce having the best video of the year.  What a schmuck he was (and still is).  It's odd how he still is able to get a lot of artist support (even from Madonna) considering he's gone off the rails. 

I also do remember some getting a little worked up over how Miley danced and was dressed in 2013.  Even Cher criticized her.  LOL!  Weird being I saw that performance and I've recalled far more risque movements and attire from years before even from men.  Hell, both Prince and Howard Stern both wore buttless pants in the early days of the Award's shows.  People thinking the MTV AWARDS show is supposed to be a "family type show" obviously have no idea how that awards show works.  LOL!

@Blue SkiesYeah, this was right at the same time when Penthouse and Playboy published her early nudes before she was famous. She was feisty then and she still is now! 

Yeah I think the saying have a nice day at the end is symbolic for how I see her.....  there's sweetness there behind the whole bad girl image 

@Blue SkiesAlso, she knew there was a time and place and being at Live Aid with so many legends, she probably wanted to show her professionalism as well as her musicianship!

@stefo, Like you, this is my favorite and a lot of that is due to the fact, it's more Joe Henry than Madonna.  Still, I love those tracks that came from him.  I prefer her version of "Don't Tell Me" than his "Don't Stop".  The same goes with "Devill.... " .  She created something special with those tracks.  I can imagine how special or different if she "Madonannized" "Guilty By Association", but it seemed perfect as is. 

I've been waiting on a Madonna/Joe Henry album for decades. Once on Facebook, Joe replied to my plea "I am ready whenever the Queen is"

@tscott absolutely agree about both tracks, even if the best, for what I heard, is still to come: the blues ReInvention early version of Devil is apparently the most interesting and powerful. Who knows if we'll ever get it. The HC version is too Timberlakish, very Cry me a river sound (but that's a problem of the whole album)

I saw it at the cinema. The house was packed. Literally everybody was into Madonna back then.

the first film i ever saw in the cinema and still my fave M film xxx

I, too, saw it when it was first released.  It wasn't necessary a "packed" theater when I went, but it was far from empty either.  I do recall a lot of people acting grossed out when the two detectives at the end started to make out.  LOL!

You cannot serve both God and money.

What you see
Is not necessarily what you get
Eyes are the window to the soul
Take your judgements
And let them go

The all-seeing eye is watching tonight...

All of the above!!

God I just love it! One of THE best and potential, most iconic pics from this era! 

And I want a pair of earrings just like those! 

Imagine thinking you are gonna sell this without Madonna on the cover. 

would be amazing have different covers...... one for every singer of the song and one or two covers with all 3........

@RUADJAIHA! Great response.  However, he won't have a problem selling this.  The song is huge.  Fans from all bases will eat this up.  I'm just surprised they hadn't hopped on releasing a physical versions, months ago. Still, it's great to see the longevity of the song. Not many people could release a video and then release a physical copy this long after it was released. And this is coming from a soundtrack (which actually didn't appear on) of a flopped series.  The run this song has had is incredible!

On tik tok??

Yes, she posted a twitter and tik tok post.  I'll see if I can embed it for you

Rolling Stone was released 2 weeks prior to its cover date back then. This was released May 20, 1986

@me1981So yeah, it's based on the actual Magazine issue date.  Most magazines are issued earlier than the date is on the magazine.  But thanks for your input!

Sorry I usually can't help myself if I have info. Thanks for being good about it and I didn't mean to rain on the parade. I just add things without really thinking sometimes

All singles are great, actually I think many people just now start to realize how really good this album is, better than Like A Virgin and deserved more. Maybe fans should buy it for 40th anniversary globally and we could make it to number one, just like with Bedtime Stories 

"all killer, no filler"

@proxyIt is a great album. I prefer it over LAV album.  Still love LAV though, but it's just one great dance song after another.   And I like the idea that we encourage people to buying it to get it #1 at least on the pop digital charts.  The problem is, some are so against those tactics, but I don't see why we can't show our support for her first album turning 40.

Don't remember seeing this beautiful shot with my filthy unworthy eyes! I may have missed it but thanks for sharing! Loved it!

@stickersweeter Thanks for your wonderful response.  This was part of the shoot for a Rolling Stone special edition called Musicians on Musicians in 2021, where Maluma and Madonna both interviews each other.  There were even a a couple of promotional videos to it as well.  She uploaded one of them which includes a remixed version of "Bitch, I'm Loca".  Another had snippets of them interviewing each other in a bar.

Yeah!!! I knew that photoshoot but didn't recall that specific shot. 🤯

there's two cones in the wrong place

Like a breast milk, squirted from the very first cow! 🐮🐄

I wonder what the set list would have looked like without the songs from "I'm Breathless".

@Holger judging from an early draft of the BAT, Everybody & Physical Attraction would have been included. The latter was originally on setlist instead of Where's The Party. Vogue was meant to go in the Art Deco segment. I'm guessing the other songs would have been Spanish Eyes and Till Death Do Us Part. They might have been replaced Hanky Panky & Sooner or Later.

1. Express Yourself
2. Open Your Heart
3. Causing A Commotion
4. Physical Attraction
5. Like A Virgin
6. Like A Prayer
7. Oh Father / Live To Tell
8. Papa Don't Preach
9. Till Death Do Us Part
10. Vogue
11. Material Girl
12. Cherish
13. Spanish Eyes
14. Holiday
15. Into The Groove
16. Everybody
17. Keep It Together

I could also see La Isla Bonita or Who's That Girl somewhere in the Cherish-Holiday segment.

Drink Pepsi 🤪

I think the original cd rip has superior sound quality. Maybe its just me and my big ears  

Is the LTT version from BAT?

@Joan Riversthe live version of Live To Tell is actually from Who's That Girl. 

I'm streaming

Thanks @proxy   I do feel like I must do my part if I want to see her have some success still.  If not, it's okay too, but I rather see fans doing what they can, rather just sitting and hoping something will magically happen.  The fact is; without the help of fans streaming, requesting the song, etc., the platforms that can help promote more, won't know of the demand.  We have to remember, even in the older days, it took the fans to show their enthusiasm and support for their favorite artists for radio to play those artists.  We can sit here and say, "but it's all bought paid for now", but that's not always true.  The public can easily push something to the forefront and make things popular as well.

To all those naysayers who said she ruined her face at the Grammys, here she’s never looked more like Madonna, she looks so natural and beautiful 

Totally @MattyMads!   But I get it, some people have a hard time processing how great she looks compared to most 65 year olds they know. But she can afford it.  I think if she just doesn't over do it with the Botox fillers, she'll look fine.  

I read "Come Hitler" 

@proxyWhen I was trying to post it, my auto correct was trying to make it "Hitler".  LOL!

Bless you M - whilst some of us(myself included) have been bitching about the poor show for the 40th anniversary - we have forgotten we almost lost you so thanks for this - luv you so much xxx   

@wtg1987While I give you a hard time about your complaints, know it's not personal.  I know you still have a place in your heart for her.  You've shared enough of your appreciation at this forum to prove that and you don't take it too personal when some challenge you. Peace and love to you. 

Not to mention its also one of her best music videos - ignored by all awards shows and we still dont have a decent HD version of it- why ??

I loved this song and video! Complete masterpieces that you could listen to and watch nonstop imo! 

Do you pay yt premium? Because I don't, and here its 1080p looks shitty blurry as hell lol  not sure what happened!

@stickersweeter, I posted the link before watching the video completely through. I was just excited, but like you said it doesn't look too HD to me. There are parts that look good, but it still looks pretty much like what it was before.

The Premium is a scam.  I would never pay for that.

I love it!

Looooove it! Great memories from those years 

thank you!!!!

This is the funniest madonna video ive seen in years - love it ! 

Can somebody do an Apple Music and/or Spotify playlist switching every 3 or 4 singles to Popular and Vulgar? Cause for those who aren't in the US they'll stream anyway

and my fave era began :)))) xxx
