I read that Madonna was involved in the movie in which she decided where the fragments of her song should go, and without a doubt it was the best part and it turned out super epic!
I remember when I was a 15 year old kid in the UK this video debuted as a Pepsi Ad and they only included about 45 seconds of it, but I recorded it and played that 45 second over and over again, until I could get my hands on a recording of the whole song about 2 weeks later on its first radio play. And then bought the single when it finally came out. We didn't have MTV here in those days. People don't realise how patient we had to be back then. Nowadays everything is instant. Back then we got little teasers and releases like this were huge events.
Strange, I had MTV in 1989 and im in UK , MTV Europe launched in 1987, I clearly remember MTV playing LIke A Prayer , Express Yourself and Cherish a lot , i was 15 yo as well !
It's a crime against humanity that the same didn't happen to Viktor Tsoi in the west. I'd bet if he was given the chance and outlived the Soviet Union, he'd be legendary worldwide as the king of "Post-Soviet Post-Punk", if not Post-Punk as a whole.

I'm 50 years old and I don't regret anything! I've had the privilege of enjoying all this wonderful music since the 70s. I've lived through every stage: from record to cassette, from CD to MP3. I've witnessed the incredible evolution of music, and I've enjoyed every moment.
It isn't it amazing from record to take cassette to CD that everything is amazing how much we did live through now that you mentioned it. Made me think a little bit❤
indeed, this song/video was largely responsible for what I needed to push myself far outside my box, i did so and far exceeded expectations and made history within my respective skill set. This song pkus a few others gave me the motivation to say fuck what the rest of world was preaching, I said take what you want when time is right if you can pay tolls of admission

"Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I want to turn from my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my heart and to take control of my life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. In Jesus' Name, amen." Did you pray this prayer?
I’ve done my research on this song. it is truly astonishing of what people believe when they don’t do their research. It’s truly amazing. One of her best songs.
Since you did research, may I ask you these questions in all sincerity … Is this the entire unedited video? Did the video come out at the same time as the song? What is the most astonishing and amazing about what people believe vs what’s the reality? I hope you will reply! Thanks 🙏
Okay, I will let you know what was going on at the time of this. Jesus was black, kkk was coming after her and him for being a mixed couple. 2 different scenarios going on… plus Madonna was the hottest thing at the time. Definitely a government song trying to smooth out the situation at the time. And yes dating a different race was frowned upon. This was just talking about the elephant in the room thing
@@barbiekat6352also Christians lost their minds when this song and video came out - the boycotted her and were disgusted - it was a scandal. I mean it was a stupid response but that was their reaction. Now they are singing it - make up your minds!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the reason why we say that Madonna is the Queen of Pop: the controversies she experienced at that time and her continued release of music make her stand above many other artists
Artists before Madonna were like that already but they weren't heard enough. Madonna stepped in and did what was necessary. Younger artists today starting from the 90s to the Gen Zs owe a lot from people like Madonna.
I'm watching this for the first time in over 30 years, and my mind is blown! Now I understand the controversy. How deep, thought-provoking, and inspiring-thanks Madge!
"No matter where in the world you are, On March 2nd, get to a TV and see Pepsi present MADONNA. With her latest release Like A Prayer, for the 1st time on the planet earth." Consider yourself lucky if you lived through this music era.
@@3dfxvoodoocards6 Anti-European? No. Europeans have segregated the lives of minorities, especially Black people for many centuries, even to this day. What Like a Prayer actually depicts is much deeper than that. The video is telling two stories - one through a religious point of view (through God's eyes) and the other through the view of a Black man in the modern US. The man has to deal with society's hatred of Black men - he saves the woman from being attacked/raped/stabbed, yet because of his skin colour is himself arrested without question (this is still relevant today). The burning crosses in the background depicts the KKK's attempt at dominating once more, as well as a reminder of modern racism. While the interracial coupling between the two being such a controversial talking point proves Madonna's point of racism being so widespread among conservative Americans. And God/the saint's tears of blood towards the end shows his sadness at how bigoted and unfair the world has become. Or if you want to look even deeper, the video could also be representing the Catholic church's growing cases of child abuse, and subsequent cover up.
In a fascinating behind-the-scenes reveal, Patrick Leonard, who co-wrote the album Like a Prayer with Madonna, shared that Prince contributed a guitar riff for the intro, which became the backbone of the song’s energetic and spiritual atmosphere. While the initial plan was for Prince to contribute throughout the track, only his iconic guitar intro made it into the final version. Despite not being credited, Prince's influence on the song remains undeniable.
I was five when I saw this music video in MTV and my dad said she is a sinner but I knew her message was about I would cry when the man came back to life . All her music and music videos are iconic you can feel the emotions from her voice .
This was SUCH a controversial video when it came out. Everyone everywhere was pissed. Interracial relationships, Madonna with stigmata, black Jesus, burning crosses, sexy time with Jesus...it was crazy. There was no group left unpissed. And, as it happened...it was one of the best songs of the entire decade and still slays it almost 30 years later.
She was Catholic for years, though you don't have to be Christian to make a video in a church. I know you see it in the movies from time to time, but non-Christians don't actually burst into flame when they go into churches.

She’s a stunning brunette. She dyed to fit into the cult of Marilyn Monroe. So many glamorous brunettes but they all chose to look like Marilyn, an untalented drug addict that slept her into a career even though she too was a bottle blonde.
Madonna was, is and will always be relevant because she is one of the few artists who knows the true meaning of art which is to go against the status quo.
I always think it's things like this that make a person an icon, changing the culture or being the first to do something. When people call someone like Ariana Grande or Taylor Swift an icon, it's a mistake. They're just very talented and popular but not icon level.
I'm in a record store in 1991 in the mall and this song comes on the speakers in the store. Someone standing next to me (much younger) says "I don't know what it is with this song but it cuts right through me". I was thinking the same and back then all you had were CD's, tapes, the radio and MTV. Still love listening to this song. Madonna is amazing. On the way to 200 million views.
For them to turn it into a 4k video they need to do a lot with it. It would take a lot of money, and even if they're successful I would still stream it in 480p anyway lol
First plan on the Georgia Guidestones is for 93% of all people to be disappeared. (That includes blacks, whites, Mexicans, Asians, Christians...and even many Democrats.) -- This is what America gets for supporting heathens like Madonna.
Like A Prayer was the biggest selling single of 1989 selling over 10 million physical singles that year alone. It also sold over 5 million downloads since 2005 as well
I'm so jealous than people lives in the 80's who enjoy the best era about Madonna ... look that gorgeous Madonna with the dark hair and doing ur best job in the music and her career "Like a Prayer". GOD SAVED THE QUEEN
I was there. What an amazing and simple time to grow up. Not perfect just more real connected and innocent time. I feel for kids today that they have to cope with so much trauma. 🙏
I grew up in the 80s and the majority of people thought she was "nasty" and said people who did like her was because of that. Ignoring the fact she's had hit after hit after hit. Similar to what Xtina Aguilera went thru when people didn't understand "why she has to parade around naked and talking about sex". People appreciate her now but the mainstream didn't really praise her back then as much. even the feminists were against her!!! She said this in her speech at Women's Day last year.
@@damianthorne7495 Nah, the bass player is Guy Pratt, a British session player most famous for being the guy who played bass in Pink Floyd post Roger Waters.
It's amazing. I heard this song hundreds of times as a kid and then a few years back with adult ears I noticed that bassline throughout the whole track. What an absolutely punishing groove! When it gets to the "life is a mystery" middle eight and then it comes back at the end of the track with the gospel choir, it's such a payoff and I look forward to it every time I hear this song. Truly a masterpiece!
@@walterzimmer4587 OH YEAH!!! This is the way I wanted to remembered her NOT at going on 66 yrs.old... She's actually breaking down before her time and she needs to retired!!! 😞
Can we give Madonna her flowers while she is still here. We have lost so many greats, Michael, Whitney, Prince, George Micheals. Please let us lift up the last huge artist of so many of our youth and teen years!!!
My husband Stan, and our good friend Larry Newman, were the two cops in Madonna'a video "Like A Prayer". I am sad to say that Larry Newman has passed away. We miss you so much. RIP Larry Newman...You spent your last days in The Motion Picture Home in Woodland Hills. Your life was show biz, worked and hung out with the greats! RIP good friend. You live on in your work and love.
Carmel Ilus Yes! As Stan’s wife I had the pleasure of being invited to the set at Raleigh Studios where it was shot. I remember that Madonna so warmly welcomed me! My husband and Larry worked both the studio filming and the location in San Pedro. It was truly great to watch the video being filmed. I was there with the choir as well. Needless to say Madonna was exceptional!
Carmel Ilus And thank you for your mention of Larry. He was a close friend and worked so hard in show biz, as he earned his last part of his life in the Motion Picture Home. Again, thank you! ❤️🙏
@@sharlynst You were in the choir! That was great...I loved their singing! This video works like a short film. I commend everyone in it, from Madonna to the black saint to the choir to the cops to the murderers and the murder victim.
Happy 30 anniversary. I was 11 years old and the first time I saw this video is written with fire in my memory. Thanks for making me happy along all my life, dear Queen Madonna ❤.
Whie people and the Catholic Church lost they fucking minds! Amazing! She hit a fucking nerve! Not all white folks and Catholics, I love you all, just the ones who were not about. shit!
❤️⭐️ I invite you to test this now : It's really working, healing, miraculous : Recite during 20 minutes minimum , the most time possible, the most quickly possible : « God and Jésus-Christ heal me purify me » If REALLY, you dot it, you will see by yourself, that is really working. You can continue most time that you want, more you do it, more it's powerful, healing. ❤️⭐️ If it's to heal someone, recite : « God and Jesus-Christ heal totally name + last name " most time possible »

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 Anti-European? No. Europeans have segregated the lives of minorities, especially Black people for many centuries, even to this day.
What Like a Prayer actually depicts is much deeper than that. The video is telling two stories - one through a religious point of view (through God's eyes) and the other through the view of a Black man in the modern US.
The man has to deal with society's hatred of Black men - he saves the woman from being attacked/raped/stabbed, yet because of his skin colour is himself arrested without question (this is still relevant today). The burning crosses in the background depicts the KKK's attempt at dominating once more, as well as a reminder of modern racism.
While the interracial coupling between the two being such a controversial talking point proves Madonna's point of racism being so widespread among conservative Americans. And God/the saint's tears of blood towards the end shows his sadness at how bigoted and unfair the world has become.
Or if you want to look even deeper, the video could also be representing the Catholic church's growing cases of child abuse, and subsequent cover up.
Madonna is an incredible artist. Deadpool and Wolverine is an awesome movie.
Terrorist is what she is. Let’s not forget her comments.
Great choir. Wouldn't be the same song without them
Yes indeed and the video and or song is an Very Symbolic Absolute Masterpiece
This was the comment I was looking for
Agree!
The choir seen in the video is not the same that recorded the song
In a fascinating behind-the-scenes reveal, Patrick Leonard, who co-wrote the album Like a Prayer with Madonna, shared that Prince contributed a guitar riff for the intro, which became the backbone of the song’s energetic and spiritual atmosphere. While the initial plan was for Prince to contribute throughout the track, only his iconic guitar intro made it into the final version. Despite not being credited, Prince's influence on the song remains undeniable.
I was five when I saw this music video in MTV and my dad said she is a sinner but I knew her message was about I would cry when the man came back to life . All her music and music videos are iconic you can feel the emotions from her voice .
I also remember how some people were mad at this video saying she was worshipping a black man smh like really tho that's what u got from the video ?

This was SUCH a controversial video when it came out.
Everyone everywhere was pissed.
Interracial relationships, Madonna with stigmata, black Jesus, burning crosses, sexy time with Jesus...it was crazy. There was no group left unpissed.
And, as it happened...it was one of the best songs of the entire decade and still slays it almost 30 years later.
She was Catholic for years, though you don't have to be Christian to make a video in a church. I know you see it in the movies from time to time, but non-Christians don't actually burst into flame when they go into churches.
Steve Mattos Madonna Metallica all the good bands are the ones hat last forever and the songs are always played unlike the one hit wonders called SoundCloud rappers they get famous for song and that’s it we never hear from them anymore such a waste of a contract and talent
I saw Ween do a cover of Enter Sandman just three nights ago. It was AMAZING!
I was a child when the song came out. I couldn't understand the controversy. I dont have eyes like the critics back then do or anyone who does now.
Didnt the Pope excommunicate her for this?
Madonna of the 80's still belongs to Madonna of 2024...legend indeed.
Gave me chills when it was released. Gives me chills now as each and evertime I sit, watch! Timeless, perfectly done! True masterpiece!
Wow, what a privilege to witness history. I wasnt even born when it was released, I feel jealous
The saint crying.
♥️👍
30 years passed... You can still feel her power and fire!
The controversies, unacceptable nature of the past.
Still the reigning QUEEN.
Thanks Madonna

Lyrics:❤🗽
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there
I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice
I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes
Oh God, I think I'm falling
Out of the sky
I close my eyes
Heaven, help me
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there
Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control
Just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me
It's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there
Your voice can take me there
Like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer
she definitely deserves a whole scholarship (cultural studies, etc.) dedicated to her work! Kudos!
Some U.S. colleges in the '90's offered classes devoted to Madonna's cultural impact. Fact.

I’m reading through these comments and I see many who have fought great battles and survived but many brothers who stood with them side by side did not! And now we wait for the LORD TO SHOW US WHAT TO DO NEXT! Because often the pain of being here is so great! I PRAY 🙏 THAT THE ALMIGHTY GOD WILL SOON BRING HEALING AND PEACE TO SO MANY OF US WHO LIVE DAY TO DAY WITH THE PAIN and horrors of the thing once seen that can never be unseen!!! PEACE OF THE LORD BE WITH ALL THE WALKING WOUNDED!!!

@@AltsekBULmore like teenagers, Deadpool and Wolverine isn't a kids movie
she was so ahead of her time, and oh my gosh she looks so beautiful with black hair
hi alt account!
She’s a stunning brunette. She dyed to fit into the cult of Marilyn Monroe. So many glamorous brunettes but they all chose to look like Marilyn, an untalented drug addict that slept her into a career even though she too was a bottle blonde.

Madonna looks so bad now that Roseanne Barr may actually be a better looking woman now
@@eltombre9499i do wish she didn’t get plastic surgery, but she doesn’t look **horrible** in my opinion

This song will always be tangled up in memories of that savage Deadpool and Wolverine street showdown. 🔥
For sure…!🤩🤟🏻
And that shirtless daddy scene 😅
This will be my gym rocky song from now on.
And defeating Cassandra Nova once and for all.
When he used the hipster Deadpool as a human. 😂😂😂😂
She looks so beautiful in black hair
Yes! I have always thought her natural hair was stunning. She is gorgeous, here.
Her tits are a statement in themselves.
Madonna looks even more beautiful with dark or brown hair.
1998 Frozen and The Power Of Good-Bye music videos
2003 American Life Censured music video
@Hot Rockin' fuck blondes they're all dumb and stuck up
Her hair is brown, her natural hair color
Madonna was, is and will always be relevant because she is one of the few artists who knows the true meaning of art which is to go against the status quo.
This comment needs far more recognition
Well said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@OhboycommentsectionAGREED!
FACTS! This should be pinned!
I always think it's things like this that make a person an icon, changing the culture or being the first to do something. When people call someone like Ariana Grande or Taylor Swift an icon, it's a mistake. They're just very talented and popular but not icon level.
I'm in a record store in 1991 in the mall and this song comes on the speakers in the store. Someone standing next to me (much younger) says "I don't know what it is with this song but it cuts right through me". I was thinking the same and back then all you had were CD's, tapes, the radio and MTV. Still love listening to this song. Madonna is amazing. On the way to 200 million views.
MTV...😭
The music video deserves 4k update..its so well done and iconic
Just watch deadpool and wolverine's trailer
@@daario2753what's the link?
For them to turn it into a 4k video they need to do a lot with it. It would take a lot of money, and even if they're successful I would still stream it in 480p anyway lol
1989.
They've butchered some older films with 4k "upgrade".
Su señor de acuerdo con usted
Madonna is literally at goddess level when it comes to music because she broke all the barriers and how consistent she was with her music
agreed, everything else since her has been cheap imitation - she is gold standard
She is in the genre of her own tbh
First plan on the Georgia Guidestones is for 93% of all people to be disappeared. (That includes blacks, whites, Mexicans, Asians, Christians...and even many Democrats.) -- This is what America gets for supporting heathens like Madonna.
Like A Prayer was the biggest selling single of 1989 selling over 10 million physical singles that year alone.
It also sold over 5 million downloads since 2005 as well
@@ginasousabranco5637 Michael Jackson ped oh file also sold massive amounts of music to those who hate God.

I'm so jealous than people lives in the 80's who enjoy the best era about Madonna ... look that gorgeous Madonna with the dark hair and doing ur best job in the music and her career "Like a Prayer".
GOD SAVED THE QUEEN
I grew up in the 80's! And it was the time if my LIFE! I'd give anything to go back!!!☺️
With Michael,Whitney and Prince
I was there. What an amazing and simple time to grow up. Not perfect just more real connected and innocent time. I feel for kids today that they have to cope with so much trauma. 🙏
Carina Nieva I’m jealous also! my mum grew up in the 80’s
I grew up in the 80s and the majority of people thought she was "nasty" and said people who did like her was because of that. Ignoring the fact she's had hit after hit after hit. Similar to what Xtina Aguilera went thru when people didn't understand "why she has to parade around naked and talking about sex". People appreciate her now but the mainstream didn't really praise her back then as much. even the feminists were against her!!! She said this in her speech at Women's Day last year.
This is the best Madonna song
The songs/video elevates to the next level at 3:00 - the bass line and dancing in front of burning crosses give some kind of awe feeling.
Omg i thought the same!
Dude this bass line goes hard. Apparently it's the bass player from Rush
@@damianthorne7495 Nah, the bass player is Guy Pratt, a British session player most famous for being the guy who played bass in Pink Floyd post Roger Waters.
@@damianthorne7495 Guy Pratt played bass
Exactly!!! 💿💿💿💿
It's amazing. I heard this song hundreds of times as a kid and then a few years back with adult ears I noticed that bassline throughout the whole track. What an absolutely punishing groove! When it gets to the "life is a mystery" middle eight and then it comes back at the end of the track with the gospel choir, it's such a payoff and I look forward to it every time I hear this song. Truly a masterpiece!
What's the meaning of this song?
I had the same thought, that BASS!!!! WOWWWW

*Thanks to this movie gen Z folks will find out about Madonna and how legendary she is!*
I love how Madonna’s lyrics are so evocative of a story.
A story of oral sex
Luciferian leftist propaganda
Right especially since she got famous for basically being a hoe
Can we give Madonna her flowers while she is still here. We have lost so many greats, Michael, Whitney, Prince, George Micheals. Please let us lift up the last huge artist of so many of our youth and teen years!!!

My husband Stan, and our good friend Larry Newman, were the two cops in Madonna'a video "Like A Prayer".
I am sad to say that Larry Newman has passed away. We miss you so much. RIP Larry Newman...You spent
your last days in The Motion Picture Home in Woodland Hills. Your life was show biz, worked and hung out
with the greats! RIP good friend. You live on in your work and love.
What was it like shooting the music video? RIP to your friend...that video must’ve been quite an experience
😢
Carmel Ilus Yes! As Stan’s wife I had the pleasure of being invited to the set at Raleigh Studios where it was shot. I remember that Madonna so warmly welcomed me! My husband and Larry worked both the studio filming and the location in San Pedro. It was truly great to watch the video being filmed. I was there with the choir as well. Needless to say Madonna was exceptional!
