This might be really hard to narrow down, but, if you were to pick your favorite Madonna video of all time, which would one would you pick today (or at this time)? On another day, I might pick something else, but today I'm going with GHOSTTOWN.  The Tango with Terrance Howard and Madonna at the end just sets it into another realm of greatness. I can't enough. I just loveeeee!!!! :jamming::clapp::fantasy::fire:

  • Voguerista changed the title to Pick your favorite Madonna video of all time!

The music video for Madonna's Express Yourself is considered historical for several reasons:

  1. High Budget Production: At the time of its release in 1989, it was one of the most expensive music videos ever made, with a budget of approximately $5 million. Its lavish production set a new standard for music videos.
  2. Directed by David Fincher: The video was directed by David Fincher, who would later become a renowned filmmaker. His visionary approach gave the video a cinematic quality rarely seen in music videos.
  3. Fritz Lang's Metropolis Influence: The video was heavily inspired by the 1927 silent film Metropolis by Fritz Lang. Its dystopian, industrial aesthetic and strong visual storytelling paid homage to the classic film.
  4. Feminist Themes: The video flipped traditional gender roles, showcasing Madonna as a powerful figure who controls her environment and defies societal norms. The imagery emphasized female empowerment and independence.
  5. Sexual Liberation: The video featured provocative and sensual imagery that challenged conservative views of the time. Madonna's unapologetic embrace of her sexuality was a defining moment in pop culture.
  6. Iconic Imagery: The video included several unforgettable visuals, such as Madonna in a pinstripe suit and monocle, her sensual interaction with her muscular male "worker," and the overarching narrative of liberation and self-expression.
  7. Cultural Impact: It reinforced Madonna’s status as a trailblazer in both music and visual artistry, influencing countless artists and setting trends in music video production.
  8. MTV Era Milestone: It became a staple on MTV and was instrumental in demonstrating how music videos could be a powerful medium for storytelling and artistic expression.

I do not nor will I ever have a singular favorite Madonna video. Sorry for the cop out, I hate it when ppl do it  but i gotta do it here. She is simply the undisputed champion of this realm and it's downright blasphemous to mention only one.

This is a good answer. Definitely a new modern classic.

Yes, in this case, it's definitely understandable! Madonna makes it impossible to just choose one!
