American Life is unquestionably one of my favorite albums. Mirwais is a magician and his collaboration with her is always as creative as it is explosive. 💥
Dance beats clash behind organic/mechanical influences.
France loves Madonna ! 🇨🇵
Far & away her best most unappreciated album. The beauty of Intervention & X static process are amazing. Masterpiece
@@deanodeano8604 I totally agree! 👍
Very underrated Album & Song!! This is where "Ageism" in our society today rules. It's always the "Newer, younger people" who get the airtime/pushed to the masses even when a lot of it's terrible! Not all is bad, but a lot of it is!! She is a Queen for a reason who was not only in it for the money & fame, but she Loves the art of making music that she continues to put out do this day!! Same as the Pet Shop Boys!! Both have released new albums since the beginning of their fame!! Thanks Dereck!!
The end of the video is a reference to her “erotica” video she said when you’re naked everybody sees you but when you are all dressed up nobody look at you
Yes first time I ever seen that ending but my first thought promise
I think the last part of this video, she looks like madonna from ray of light
This song deserves so much more back in the day, the production, the video, the remix package, everything is perfect, would love to see videos reacting to full albums.
You like hollywood? listen to the instrumental version... you will have a really earga**
Liste to love profusion and xtatic process from this same album too
I wonder how this would have fared (and the album too) had this been the lead single?
@@Mysicalgreenunicorn03 it probably would've been a hit but the album would most likely still fare more or less the same. It's just a very unconventional album from Madonna, just like Erotica. I do agree though that Hollywood should've been the lead single. It's the catchiest and most feel good song of the album, with a hint of sweet darkness. In my mind, the era went like this:
1. Hollywood (Lead Single)
2. Nobody Knows Me
3. Nothing Fails
4. Love Profusion (Final Single)
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!

Great reaction again. "X-static process" is an album track from the "American Life" album that merits a reaction. It's much more stripped down, a very pretty song.
Madonna always wants electronic music to have a soul, so some live instruments. This is very folk mixed with electronica kind of album. Definitely worth listening to the entire album.
X-Static Process is my favorite song from this album. She does some amazing harmonies with herself. It is a deep dark song about questioning. Hollywood fits perfect within the American Life album....not only is AL political but it is about questioning norms and challenging the status quo. Hollywood is an illusion. Fame is an illusion yet you would sell your soul for it. The dirty little secret.
finally someone who appreciates the music of madonna thanks!
You will love " LOVE PROFUSION" from same album.
😉😉😉
Interesting how Music celebrated the American whilst American Life really scrutinises it.
The álbum versión is just amazing I mean the original ending btw the whole American Life album is a gem 💎
Please react to Madonna - “Love Profusion” next!
Love Profusion is one of her most beautiful songs
You seriously need to listen through the full album. Another great video by the way.
AMERICAN LIFE is such a great album & speaks lots of volume of someone who’s lived through it. Would enjoy watching you react to the whole album or the Love Profusion music video !
Nothing Fails Is amazing!!
Back there, when Madonna invented Boomerang..!! Love this video. Love this song. So energetic. Totally underrated this album.!!
I have heard this song hundreds of time. But, I am also hearing it for the first time, watching you listen to it, noticing what you notice, as you explain and interpret. You go there. You go deep. You pick it apart, you see the whole, you see the bits. Your interpretations of the song, video, beats, it is all well rounded, and perhaps some of the best reactions to Madonna on all of RUclips.
In the album version the "plug isn't pulled" and the electro synths play the song out. Love love LOVE Hollywood SO MUCH! Thanks for the great reaction, Derek
Great song and social commentary. Her voice and the production value are on point in this album. I've always liked this album and its acoustic and intimate feel. Love Profusion has a nice video; x-static Process is a beautiful song.
I hope you'll do the Music album next. Cannot wait to see you react to the video to "Don't Tell Me".
And it's got "Paradise (Not For Me)". Audio only, but still...
I absolutely adore this song,
it sounds so incredible in the car
please react next video Love Profusion by Madonna
Shine your light now
This time it's gotta be good 💖
I love that lyric,happy to see your reaction. Now if you can discover her Reinvention Tour!!😊
The best part is the key change, somehow it lifts the song and gives it more groove.
I cannot explain it but this song sounds like the feeling of taking your socks off 😭😭
The one and only Queen. God bless the Queen.
The best Madonna ♥️
Underrated gem from American Life. The album went down to shits chart wise due to her stance on the Iraqi war, which she made a point on with her American Life music video that was pulled. And after that the whole album tanked with all the singles. I also love the remix that she used for her Reinvention Tour interlude. Mother and Father is another good song from the album! Again, do not miss the Reinvention Tour
To this day I cannot understand why this was not a phenomenon. This song is just freaking amazing, so complex and well structured. Such a joy and a surprise all wrapped into a rich experience. Always happy to listen to this one #thumbsup
The magical layering of instruments , her luscious voice and the scenery, including her totally fab costume changes make the song amazingly delicious!! and you are always interesting and knowledgeable. I love it when you get excited about good music and vids
Thanks my man!!!!!
👍💙👊zane
This is an homage to french photographer Guy Bourdin. She is portraying one of his models in the 70's and Mondino - the video director - plays Bourdin on the "photoshoot". Guy Bourdin is know for his bold and provocative work.
Great Reaction! I Love This Song & Madoona As An Artist! It Was With This Song She Kissed Britney Spears On Stage Of The MTV VMA Awards! Thanks For Sharing & Take Care!
love this song, so catchy and very underrated, because Madonna back then started to be victim of Hollywood ageism. She was considered as an old eccentric/weird singer by the young public who didn't know much about her legacy and prefered to listen to new and younger Pop/RnB acts such as Justin timberlake, Beyoncé and her overrated "crazy in love" etc
It's midnight in Italy...we are living in this dark times... And I am wondering how I am forgetting all the sadness looking at your videos. Listening your comments to this song is like to sharing emotions with an old friend. Thanks Derek ..and sorry for my basic-english.. good night from Italy. Gabriel
Plain perfect ❤️
Hollywood ia awesome 😘👌🏻
Such a good pop track with good lyrical content and masterpiece production and vocals ...But it was not well received by the critics and it was her first song not to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 (US radio ignore her because of the American Life backlash few months before ...) Another french collaboration with Mirwais and the music video was made by the great french photographer /director : JEAN BAPTISTE MONDINO (by the way the only country where AMERICAN LIFE album and singles were really successful is FRANCE around 5 times gold for the album and Madonna always thanks the french for often appreciate her work more than her own country !)2 years before HOLLYWOOD the song DONT TELL ME was also on the same "french vibe" :a MIRWAIS production (and also Michel Colombier for the strings ) and MONDINO also made another great video; the song DONT TELL ME was a worlwilde hit (US TOP 10 , biggest airplay song in EUROPE ) and the video was everywhere (and i still heard the song on the french radio !
The AMERICAN LIFE album is one of favorite with a lot of accoustic guitar , strings and electro mixed .Next singles released for the album :LOVE PROFUSION(good track /production ) and NOTHIING FAILS (such a beautiful ballad and masterpiece production )
Nobody Knows Me was also a single,i have the remix cd.I think that was also a great song!
What happens to you when you are in front of your wildest dreams, as close as possible to touch fame and fortune with your hands and the light shines on you? Madonna retraces the path of her early career when a young naive unknown girl arrived to the place where her dreams came true. The B&W TV just shows her beginning without money and how fame can change people (the diva all dressed up to the nines). She does this retrospective from an external corner as to say that her status didn't succeed to change her, at least not fully, at that time she had the right age to take stock of her life . This is the most "grunge" of her songs, crowded with chaotic sounds: a grunge guitar, a perfume spray audible from time to time, emergency sirens, birds's tweets, childish voices fading into grotesque raps. The duality of life is widely represented. The fairytale of the failure of the free will. How many of us can discern real life from shiny pictures?. The video is openly inspired by the works of French photographer Guy Bourdin . The raw ending sees a "divine star" detaching the TV with the young girl on, in search of a rideshare, this way she "kills" who she was before the fortune, free will... Hollywood can confuse your thoughts: " I lost my memory in Hollywood,...I'm bored with the concept of right and wrong". She takes note of it, it's like a dilemma to her, you have to give something of yourself to have something else in return, just like selling your soul for fame, just like the movie "Death becomes her" from director Robert Zemeckis, it's more than a funny Hollywood comedy. It's real world life
Hey Dereck, please react the Love Profusion video, the last video from American Life. Great job man!
Esa canción es una pieza de culto .
Uno de los mejores trabajos de Madonna
This video was inspirated by French photographer Guy Bourdin
Well his family took her to court over copyright issues lol
And to be honest some of the setups in the videos are copies of Bourdin's photos. Still a stunning video that turned me on to him and his work so I'm all for it.
@@fylaxx People seem to forget that appropriation brings us to things we might never know about otherwise. Madonna is classic with that.
Michael Walden Exactly! She turned me on to Lempicka too.
It`s never too late to discover quality music, and Madonna always led the way in that regard, i never listen to the radio anyway, my play list is much more interesting.
You liked American Life and now Hollywood. You MUST react to American Life album, all the core of the album has that social commentary and production style. You will love it.
Madonna - Drowned World / Substitute For Love [Music Video] React to Please...
Always loved Hollywood! and your reaction, thanks!
React to the sticky and sweet tour by Madonna!
Hollywood, both song and the music video, is a masterpiece!
I Watch multiple times when Derek does Madonna wonderful wonderful
You must hear Hollywood aviddiva mix too, great remix
Yes!! It's eargasmic,
My fav album. Her Ray of Light - Music - American Life - Confessions era was her best.
Nobody knows me is the best & lyrically!
Maybe the best song she ever did.
Amazing video😍👏👑
Please react to Nothing Fails! Another song from this album
Check out the fashion photography of Guy Bourdin from the 70s. All the visuals here were borrowed from his pictures.
DERECK you must react to the album !!! U gonna flip with some of the songs it’s so incredible ...Nothing fails , x-tactic process , intervention , easy ride !!!
Hi Dereck ! Greetings from a French subscriber ! For your information, this clip is a tribute to the French fashion photographer Guy Bourdin. Here in France he is very famous for his Charles Joudan women shoes advertisment campaign which started in 1957 and ended in 1981 exclusively for the French Vogue magazine. Colors soaked, women with strong make-up, the shoes always presented BUT with models surrounded by death (yes !), it was its main obsession. Guy Bourdin, was the one who could mixed in a picture for luxury female shoes, sexuality (the life pulse) and death (the opposite)...absolutely facinating ! It's obvious that Madonna was/is sensitive to Bourdin's body of work.
A last thing, the birds at the begining of the song, come from Mirwais Ahmadzaï (fabulous talent as electronic musician "Disco Science" record ouch !) origins, the swiss and french producer of the AL album. His father is from Afghanistan and in the Persian culture the birds singing are holy.
Still love this song, brings me back to 2003.👌🌟❤️
Reinvention Tour Is Excellent.
i LOVE YOUR reactions !
I know I'm not the first one, but I strongly suggest you react to 'Love Profusion', it's Madonna at her most beautiful, as far as I'm concerned. And oh yeah, the song is absolutely gorgeous.
Regarding 'Hollywood', it's one of her most underrated songs, it should have been a huge global hit. I still don't understand what happened...
Hollywood should've been the first single. American Life (song) is just clunky, abrasive, and confusing for the average listener. That's why the album failed, not to mention the controversial mv that was scrapped and was given instead a boring flag mv, even more confusing! I believe Hollywood the song shows how the American Dream is just an illusion. It's also catchy and kinda funny and ironic. It should have been followed by Nobody Knows Me and Nothing Fails.
Nobody knows me,reinvention tour,is a must,just her on stage doing what she does best in top form.
Madonna super bowl!!!!!!
Dear Dereck! How amazing you get a right reception of songs for a first listen! You are a good one! You should try « mother and father » from this album... but live 2004 from « re invention tour »I really like you! Your french mate 💪
Hollywood was a perfect fit to the theme of American Life.
Love your reactions D.. AND I LOVE THIS SONG FROM AMERICAN LIFE SHES SO GOOD. 😀😎
this whole album is so incredible
A new fan of Madonna comming
Always a great reaction! American Life is very political and spiritual album. Hollywood, such as American Life song, is her critique to American culture at all. She tried hard to enter into Hollywood world but they were very cruel with her... in all her movie works.
Not true. Critics praised her roles in Desperately seeking Susan and Evita and the rest of it is mosty rubbish
Pera Detlic well... in almost 10'times she appears on the Big Screen, having good feedback in 2 cannot be considered a success. in Desperately Seeking Susan she was not acting.... she was just being herself 😅
Evita was big and she won the Golden Globe, but Hollywood snubbed her from all main events in a clear message: "you are not one of us".
@@daygolino8481 because she was just awful almost every single time! Swept away? Who's that girl? 2 "erotic thrillers" in 1993 I can't even remember names? And I'm huge fan
@@daygolino8481 but they wanted her to sing for catalysing attention and audience , hypocrisy
Haha! The last shot is not random, it's the "movie" playing on TV earlier. ;)
Is it her hitch-hicking? No one cares cuz she is dresssed as oppessed to hitch-hicking naked a la the SEX Book. That is what I always thought
Everybody comes to Hollywood and Everybody comes to watch your videos.
Love love love the American life videos her absolute knockout best love you
American Life is such an underrated album
Next: Love Profusion
This is exactly how I am watching Madonna videos
Anonymous voice. I laughed at that, but you’re so right.
My jam
You have to watch her STICKY AND SWEET TOUR please!
Just a small quibble I don’t like how you knocked the wrapping on American life which is wonderful wonderful
Im pretty sure the 70s fashion photographer Helmut Newton was an influence. Great video!
no, guy bourdin
Felicidades por la elección del video y tu reacción. Espectacular Madonna...como siempre, gracias y besos.
You will love the synths in the music album
Amazing!!!! Hugs from URUGUAY
She is representing a much older era than the 70's. I think the look is more around the golden era of the silver screen, the 40's
I LIKE very much your reaction and i love this song and the album
Please react to Like a Virgin, Like a Prayer, Live to Tell, Oh Father and Papa don't preach from the Blond Ambition Tour
Haven’t been this early since I prematurely blew last week.
Out of curiosity, did you forget this song was performed with Britney & Christina at the VMAs, which you reacted to?
Whats funny about this video is that Madonna has never been opposed to cosmetic procedures which in the last 10 or so years, she has had. I think it’s worked for her, some of her pictures on her IG make it look like she’s had more work than she actually has because on video it doesn’t look bad at all. I think back then she was probably just not really doing it but wasn’t exactly opposed.
The ending of this was to show that you have the ability to change the channel, watch what you want and listen to what you want, you don’t like it? Change it. It’s up to you and she’s gonna do what she wants whether people like it or not
I can only wonder if the reaction to the album would have been the same if she had released this as the first single...hard to believe this never entered hot 100
American Life is a very underrated album
You made me laugh when you said
"did you hear the birdies"
Madonna i like much too you video music
Please do skin track from ray of light. 😀😀👍
💗 yes, skin is so epic
Yeeeess, that song is such an experience, towards the end it gets out of control, and eargasmic exotic chaos!! And the lyrics are very suggestive
@@ivann.1916 definitely it's so unique to the rest of her catalogue and omg you summed it up well. Definitely eargasm 💗
Interestingly Madonna "borrowed" each look in this video from the photographer Guy Bourdin - his estate sued her for copyright - each set is an exact replica of his work
Mirwais and Madonna PERFECT COMBINATION... react all her records!!! And push the button... dont push the button... Dereck!/ Dont change the channel😁...‼ thanks saludoS desde PERÚ 🇵🇪
REACT TO": LOVE PROFUSSION
Pls react to " Nothing Fails", it was a single but does not have a video. my favorite song on this album.
The music video for Love Profusion next it’s a bit cheesy but it’s still really cool
I remember watching this video back when I was 7 seven years old thinking "OMG This lady is crazy, all those injections in front of the camera..." Madonna and T.A.T.U. got me completely shocked back then. After one week I was like " PUSH THE BOTTOM, DONT PUSH THE BOTTOM..." SOOOO GAY hahaha. I think this is my first gay memory hahaha. Amazing reaction Dereck
And then, Madonna became the most important Queen of all for me 🦄❤
♥♡★☆♥♡★☆
Justify my love please!
anyone notice at 6.30
how she looks like Kylie Minogue
