Interesting. Unless it's explained to regular people I'm sure most people won't understand the significance of them playing this. Maybe those annoying daytime shows will talk non stop about it.

I love everything about this commercial, except the hair

WHOAAAAAA full circle moment with that CT ad at the end!

[A. A. Aardvark 4,842]

finally they've stopped crapping themselves over 'Black Jesus'

[Prayer 14,364]

Good luck trying getting back those 5 million dollars with that official YouTube upload. 

Iconic.

Guess the little "Celebration Tour" ad thing at the end was M's requirement to give them permission to upload it?

Are we supposed to like Pepsi again 

[Shoful 8,552]

Pepsi doing more promo for Madonna’s 40th than she is 

Nice to finally have this tho

[LongIslandTea 1,591]

Too bad Miss Tina's ad wasn't in HD 

 

[Dj Garrido 1,689]

Interestingly, they exchanged the images from Madonna's birthday party as a child for images from the add on TV that Madonna is watching. Maybe some problem with the actress's image rights...

Ive always loved Pepsi regardless. I am addicted to Diet Pepsi

but wowwwwww it looks so good. Hope we can get it in full!

Are they really being that cynical when stating "Cheers to disrupting the status quo"? Not what they said at the time. Nice they're acknowledging her, though.

On a side note, any fan could have made a better upgrade.

Madonna & Pepsi be like

When I read "CT" I thought... "Confessions Tour?"  

Great to see it in this quality

Lol I've been thinking about it: we need to find a way to differentiate the two “CT”. 🤔

Well, I've already abbreviated Celebration Tour as TCT, given I'd already referred to Confessions Tour as CT.

CT1 for Confessions Tour and CT2 for Celebration Tour could also work, don't you think so?

OT: I just wanna know how M now will reference the Pepsi imbroglio on her biopic given she was crystal clear about LAP playing a big part on it as being the only one song whose writing process would be documented on "Little Sparrow"... Followed by the Pepsi backlash/boycott...

I don't think they needed her permission, they paid for and own the clip. But are they now sponsoring the Celebration Tour??

It all depends on the original contract. Usually they're limited for a certain use (TV, theaters, radio, etc.) and during a period of time (usually limited). YouTube didn't even exist in 1989, of course, so unless they used something like "available forever for every medium that will ever exist" (doubt it, being Madonna), they needed permission for this. Plus the song thing.

Notice they deleted the little girl footage, maybe they couldn't find the person now or didn't even wanted to contact her. But if they could use it as it was, the wouldn't have changed that.

I don't think they're sponsoring the tour, the last tour ad would be just what Madonna asked in return maybe.
