So excited to see this!!!!! Madonna is a great actress but the problem is she was so iconic that every role she was in people saw Madonna & not her character. This is why her performance in “Evita” was praised by the critics...since it is a musical, people tended to recognize her acting 🎭
This is the first of many MAJOR image changes and the era that made blonde her signature hair color. She’ll be brunette plenty of times again but always go back to blonde and will be blonde on all her tours
Empress, as you are well aware I'm sure, there are a gazillion Madonna reaction videos out there, but YOU are the one that I keep coming back too. You make this journey so incredible! You are well read, you know your stuff and you get it, point blank. Papa don't preach, the video when I first saw it, I was like whoah!!! who is that?...but of course I fell in love all over again with the chameleon that is Madonna. Iconic song and video to this day!!
I also love her constructive criticism as well!! I cannot wait till her open your heart video reaction. I think the video will make her a fan of the song which was as huge hit in the states in late 1986 early 1987
You called it! James Foley who directed the movie “at close range” directed live to tell, papa and true blue! She transforms herself for each video, because as Madonna says, her videos are short films. Hollywood patriarchy couldn’t handle her being a triple threat! But she is! She said, “I’m not a bad actress, I’ve just been in a lot of bad movies”
This video is cinema 🎞 So well directed by James Foley (who yes also directed Live To Tell and the film it’s from, At Close Range). Madonna’s look in it was compared to the “gamine” look made famous by actresses Jean Seberg and Edie Sedgwick, among others. Her sailor striped t-shirt and high waisted jeans with ballet style shoes look, as well as the strapless black catsuit, looked edgy 80s but was actually drawing on Mod street fashion of the 60s and French New Wave cinema of the 1950s. Speaking of that incredible look for the dance sequences, if you watch closely there are a couple of famous nipple slips each time she does the throw-head-back move! I mentioned in another comment about the opening shots. Much like the symbolism in the opening credits of Sex And The City, the opening shots of New York in this video tell a little story of personal freedom, sex, impregnation and orgasm in the Statue of Liberty, the jump cut shots going deeper into the docks, the orgasm of pigeons flying and more obviously the babies and children that follow. Also the guys vs girls in the groups captured at the beginning complete the statement. As a music video director and storyboard artist myself I always notice when visual metaphor is used in film. People forget how much time, effort and money it takes to get a shot, so when something is well made there are rarely any shots that haven’t been thoroughly considered for their significance from both a storytelling and symbolic angle. Adding confirmation to this reading is the quality of James Foley as a filmmaker and his obvious love of French New Wave, a wave of 1950-60s directors who drew stylistically on American Film Noir, both of which are highly symbolist cinematic movements 🎥
🗣🗣🗣you get all the 🏅🏅🏅🥰 wow, so much I just learned here and wow now i 👀 what you mean regarding the shots. Absolutely stunning and makes me ❤ the video even more💯
This video was impressive because it was a mini-movie with none other than Danny Aiello as her father. The family drama was very palpable throughout, and Madonna as a teenager was convincing. I've always liked her pixie haircut; later she'll have one only as a brunette. Great reaction with equally great observations and analysis!
The late Danny Aiello - the guy who played the dad. Great actor. Your observations are so spot on. She’s acting and then she was someone else when she was singing. So glad you loved this. The first time watching this was an event. When it dropped this was the start of her icon status. Just think of it - under 4 years of her debut.
Everyone was shocked at the time with the huge image change. I think that was our initial reaction. We were used to her having long hair, wearing lace, and a lot of jewelry. and then suddenly she had short blond hair, and looks like Marilyn Monroe. It was like a different woman suddenly.
A couple of people have commented about Debi Mazar, Madonna’s long-time friend who appears in this video. Debi actually appears in 5 of M’s videos- which must be some sort of record. 🏆 Debi has actually had a long career as a actress, mostly in supporting roles and especially known for her tart-tongued quips and heavy Queens (or is it Long Island?) accent. She and Madonna met during the Danceteria days and Debi did M’s hair and makeup on the Everybody video. I think M surrounded herself with “tough” women and if you heard Debi you would immediately understand why they are friends. Also, fun fact... Debi was partnered with Paul Rubens (Pee Wee Herman) for most of the 90s.
Interesting ‼️ I've neve4 heard of her until now and wow how ironic I flashed back to Everybody and Debi had something to do with the luck. Also nice to know Madonna kept pre-fame friends around

The boyfriend was in a film called Desert Hearts but I don’t think he ever had a huge career. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a model as well because he was so damn hot I wanted him to impregnate me... or die trying.

The little girl in the home movie being blonde... M, we know you were a natural brunette. Quit playin’ lol
Don’t forget a shout out to Madonna’s girls in the video notably actress Debbie Mazar. Madonna met Debbie working at Danceteria before becoming famous. She hired her for a while to be her make-up artist. Debbie eventually made it as an actress and they are still best friends today.
@@EmpressReacts Debbi Mazar is a supporting actress in a lot of movies and shows.. Most notably she was on Entourage. She appears in a bunch of Madonna videos including True Blue....can't miss her.
Madonna got a lot of flack from society for this video & song due to the teenage pregnancy topic. I always loved Madonna’s acting but it was so common for people to give her 💩, so critics always talked 💩 on Madonna’s acting. So far LOVING your reaction so Empressed 😉
Ah. I needed your ray of light today! Her look change was iconic, and unexpected because of the Live To Tell video gave a different look. "What she changed again???" woah. You will see the iconic walk again, and it remains iconic each time. Note at 2:09 in your video is Madge's friend Debi Mazar to her left in the orange shirt.
Ok sorry for so many comments but I am watching & reacting to your reaction 😆 I was around 7 or 8 when I saw this video, even though it was more of an older teen or adult topic, as an empath I could feel what her emotions were & what the song was about (in the best way I could at such a young age). I definitely found a much deeper meaning as I became a pre-teen (due to the Erotica LP 😉). Wow so many more genres & looks to Madonna you have yet to discover!!! I am so excited to keep watching, once again you are like an addiction for me with these Madonna reactions 🤪
Empress you are doing the damn thang. Everytime that I watch this video I say the same thing about them steps😂 Whoa!! I think that Madonna being a chameleon, visually and sonically has helped make her an icon. A lot of musicians get stuck trying to strike gold again with the same thing. Madonna always takes chances and keeps it pushing.
Yes girls definitely started cutting their hair, growing their eyebrows, and taking out that red lipstick- a style that lasted to the early 90s I believe
Glad u liked it. Do you think her body improved from the LAV days? Or do you think she looked better with a bit more weight on her? I do like the look, I bet a young woman today could pull of that leather motorcycle jacket, with the striped shirt and jeans and pixie cut and look great and not dated. Thank you for the analysis and the attention you put into making this reaction ❤️
Thank u‼️ And honestly the LAV body is what's marketable today which is funny. Washboard stomach is always a must, but having a dunk is good too🤣. Im going with the LAV tour thick b
The father was also the actor that played Mookie's boss in the pizza restaurant in the Spike Lee movie, "Do the Right Thing". I know you saw that movie and remember him now!
So my blk card might be revoked🤣 i know Do The Right Thing and Rosie Perez dancing and the dude with the radio, but I've never seen the movie in entirety, but bits and pieces and since you mentioned it , yeah that's him
Oh yes. So happy yr getting into these videos. She is a ground breaking visual artist and she always takes it to the next level. She set the bar so high that to this day no one can or has a hope of catching up to her. Such a smart lady that always had a vision and always executed it without a fault or flaw. So respect and kudos for her daring and refusal to dumb anything down because she never underestimated her fans and never doubted their intelligence or free spirits. From one rebel heart to another. I love that yr so thorough.j
When you said vintage snack .... about Alex McArthur I laughed out loud , he used to shop in a toy store I managed in the 90s ... super nice guy... Madonna's iconic Italians do it better shirt is worn in this video.... also Madonna revisits her signature trot dance in her living for love video ...
For his kids he looked the same ... I saw Tony Ward Madonna's boyfriend from her justify my love video and sex book at a concert at the Hollywood bowl. For the band "the cult" a couple of years back ... and i Saw Debi Mazar Madonna's buddy at s restaurant in glendale California..she waved .. she's in the madonna true blue video ...and a few of her other videos.
"Gurrrl you got options" I'm dead Empress! 😂😂😂 Formula and diapers ain't cheap. No vacation for baby momma or baby daddy. Oh well La Isla Bonita video next!
Actually True Blue and Open Your Heart videos first. La Isla was the fifth and final single. I'm excited for the Open Your Heart video reaction, best video from this era. :)
🤣🤣 frfr, like he cute and all, but don't get knocked up by mike the mechanic. 2 yrs later she's on social media making subliminal post about how he ain't 💩🤣
Great video. The storyline was powerful. Madonna’s new look was exciting. The solo / dance section was stellar. Love the song! 💛. Great job Empress for noticing all the details of this great song & video.
The gentlemen that plays her father is actor Danny Aiello , his real life daughter was a Madonna fan and asked him to be her music video and he agreed. He also he played in Spike Lee "Do the right thing " 1989. Danny Aiello died in real life in December 2019😪
I’ve been watching this video for 35 years and it’s still great for me. She was so smart to change her look and not become a gimmick like poor Cyndi Lauper keeping her one side shaved bright red hair. I was hoping Billie Eilish would have changed the green by now.
I dunno about that. By 1986 Cyndi was sporting a more mature (for her) take of the wacky wardrobe and hair. Check out the full set of Annie Leibovitz album photos around True Colors: more exposed legs, 30s Hollywood makeup, grown in shock of orange tresses. Did it sell like Madonna’s makeover? No way no day.
@@EmpressReacts I’m not knocking Cyndi, I’m a fan also, I just think she made some bad career/image decisions around the same time Madonna really took off, and Cyndi had already peaked.
This was her first huge transformation not only in her looks way, also the music after the like a virgin era, I was very impressed at that time to recognize her and for a moment I missed her looks from the last Era but was very intelligent for Madonna to change and let the new Madonna become and was a huge success in the whole world
Another timeless classic video from the queen of pop! And I love that it was just a simple straightforward storyline that was masterfully conceived and shot, from start to finish! Nothing but Tens across the board from me!!!!
E, I’ve never been a big fan of Madonna’s iconic strut/trot dance move, but girl you calling it the “limp ankle” dance is giving me my best life 2nite! 💀 Winner winner chicken dinner!🦵🍗
The short platinium blond hair, dark thick eyebrows, red lipstick ( red nailpolish), the mole of course, corset, perfecto jackets were madonna signature look during True Blue like an 80s pinup
FUN FACT: Across the pond in the UK, an 18 year old teenager Guy Ritchie (future film director and future Madonna husband) saw this video and had a crush on her. 12 years later they would be introduced. Empress great job always, yours observations are impressive particularly since you are seeing this video for the first time, you pick up so much. True Blue video next!!! can't wait
I ❤ fun facts🥰 and isn't interesting when uber famous ppl like Madonna date/marry younger ppl. The person definitely knows of their public persona and they're either stan, groupie, hater or indifferent 🤣
Empress I know you are following a timeline of Madonna's career but one day try to react to this masterpiece short film of Madonna: The Secret Project Revolution and Her-story both about the freedom of speech, they are not music videos but short films with her, powerful and innovative, with a black and white esthetic and full of powerful messages, you won't regret. You have also "Iconic" a live performance from the Rebel Heart Tour another unforgettable live performance from her. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
Keep going, keep going! It's almost like watching Madonna video's for the first time, so refreshing each time!!!! At this very time in the 80s the hits kept rolling & rolling, not just Madonna, all the legends were like hit factories!!!!
This video was filmed on Staten Island, that’s where I’m from. I remember visiting all the locations and yes I totally felt like Madonna while walking up those stairs. And I have the “Italians Do It Better” t shirt. 💪🏼😍
Brilliant video and reaction.. I nearly got fired for being late because I wanted to watch and record it.. Haha. It blew me away. As in all her videos she is captivating and demonstrates considerable acting skills. She is a good actress.. She's been in some dodgy films and played some interesting archetypes.. Hollywood cldnt manipulate her and what I find interesting is the need for press and media to topple a star.. Take the shine off them. Stories circulated about her being a diva on set and being a bad actress before anybody saw her actual film(Shanghai Surprise).. When she's good they accuse her of being and just playing herself..She can't win.... Having won Golden Globes Best Actress(Evita) she was snubbed by The Hollywood establishment at The Oscars the same year..... She has incredible presence and charisma.. And maybe she has much more control in these videos or its a medium in which(then) she was v comfortable with. She acts in her songs and here's something I've always thought., she's an emotional singer.. Its connected singing.. It affects, moves, provokes, engages.. as a, result it isn't always perfect, like life and emotions, it's sometimes, raw, raspy, flat, sharp, angry, vulnerable.. And then the technical music police, the vocal nazis come for her... She's a storyteller and a damned good one. Her music videos are events. No one can tell me she's a bad actress.. She's been in some bad films and made some restrictive character choices but that presence, that spark, thst natural affinity with the camera is always there. She was a massive threat and wldnt play the game their way.. So learned to work with like minded people. She often used to shoot videos together.. same time, set, cast etc.(time and money saved and just logistics) so some studio shots etc, shot same time.. just styled/lit/coloured differently..
The guy in the video that plays Madonna dad was in the movie "Harlem Nights" with Eddie Murphy,Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx.He played a hired detective for the mobs.
"He the one who got her this pimple" -- Empress The shock hit my face so hard it cracked! I couldn't get the air back in my lungs I was laughing till I felt dizzy. So wrong. I love it. Let’s go!
I think she can act but it needs to be the right part. The best acting i've seen from her was in Snake Eyes and obviously she won the Golden Globe for Evita in 1997. She got good acting in her videos, the most impressive was the Bad Girl video from 1993. You will be shook. Back to the 80s, this song and video is everything. Love her style with black white stripped shirt and leather jacket as well. Always here for her slightly rapsy ''Please'' in this song. This song will never get old.
I was def here for this video from the second it came out. 35 years later, I still want that "Italians do it better" T-shirt! I loved how you picked up on her confident walk, she was selll-ling it...and in flats too. And yes, when she came out in the all black bustier and capri pants, her new snatched glow up did not go by un-noticed! After LTT and PDP, I knew she was def going to bring it for the rest of the TB videos!
I’ve seen this video so many times. I still ball at the end. 😭 Her short hair cut reminds me of the Who’s That Girl? Madonna. Thank you for sharing and reacting to this video.
🤣🤣🤣 I just knew you would mention “the dance”🤣🤣🤣 This video just melts the heart at the end! Oh and yesssss I’m so glad you thought the same about the scary stairs!!😳I love how we see one of Madonna’s oldest friends Debi Mazar playing one of her friends in the video. Debi was working the lifts at the Danceteria when she first met Madonna and Madonna said to her “Do you wanna dance” and Debi was like “sure”... this led her to do the makeup for Madonna’s “Everybody” video and others and has starred in later Madonna videos. Still besties to this day! 🥰 I’m super excited for you to see “Open Your Heart”... I hope it will help the song grow more on you ☺️
I had no idea that you had not reacted to the video! I am visually impaired so… The first time I watched this video, my entire family was around me. We were in the living room in everyone’s eyes were on me and then her and then me… I was in love! She seem to get better every album and there was no stopping her! Thanks for this amazing reaction! Empress, you are the best!💗💗
if you love this video, i can’t wait to see your reactions to her later videos! So excited! Keep it coming Empress! Love what you’re doing to us fans! 🙌♥️
I remember watching this video after watching her "Material Girl" video and HATING her wet hair look, I was like WTF did she do? But then when she Glams it later in the video she won me over, and I absolutely love her outfits specially her leather jacket. I have my own now because of her. Great reaction yet again Miss Empress!!!
Also if you wanna laugh every time I see this video I think of this...it’s a minute long. It won’t ruin anything. Haha ... ruclips.net/video/WJlbrj3iC7I/видео.html
In this video it’s at 2:40 and at 5:29. For all you lol perverts out there joining in on the nip slips. Like us true fans haven’t seen em before. Hehehe
Omg you’re adorable. Your videos are 💯. Great work, and I love that you’re are so intellectual and curious about it all. Looking forward to whatever is next
Empress be really looking into Madonna. Back in the day, we were more into seeing Madonna moving in videos than listening to the lyrics but, I see now, that we missed out on some deep stuff
She was 27 when she filmed this. You are right about doing the journey that way you do :) Your channel brings so much joy to so many people. Much love to you, Empress :) And omg the attention you pay to details...i never watched the Virgin tour to that detail to notice that dance move. I'm so impressed by you! I totally want to go to a Madonna concert with you :D
I wanna go too‼️ We'll have a blast for sure🥰 And idk i think being a MJ Fan has something to paying attn to detail because he was all about angles and moves
loved watching this with you! amazing how you catch every detail, right down to the similar dance style between this video and an older live show. this video is powerful and love the song, of course. ❤️❤️❤️
So glad you got to watch the video for this one Empress! How good is it! A-Mazing! :D One of her finest for sure, just extremely well done and great little story that tugs at the heart strings especially the relationship between a father and his daughter which I can relate to. I distinctly remember listening to this one and being blown away at how good it was when I was a wide eyed teen, on holidays in sunny Queensland, sitting in my room at night listening to the awesome local radio top 20 countdown back in 1986! :) Ah those were the days!! *wipes a nostalgiac tear from his eyes*
I was in high school when this came out. Every single guy around my age that ever talked about this video talked about the nip slip. Even in the comments here it's only the guys that mentioned it! You boys spent too much time with your VCRs watching this frame by frame! 😂
PLEASE react to Danny Aiello’s independently released song and video sequel to Papa Don’t Preach‼️ It’s called Papa Wants The Best For You and it is... Well let’s hear your impressions of just what it is... Vanity project? Clap back? Heartfelt tribute? Bizarre revenge manifesto? Perhaps all of the above. Whatever it may be it is a MUST see Madonna-adjacent viewing experience!
You can tell from how Madonna approaches her videos that she's good an inhabiting a character and embodying it as her art. She has trouble translating that to the big screen. I tend to think that she'd be better off in character parts rather than the leading lady vixen she always wants to play. She's hilarious on SNL. Wearing an orange top, you can see Madonna's friend, Debi Mazar. She's been in several of the music videos. She's been the most constant friend in Madonna's life.
This was about teen pregnancy. She is pregnant, and scared to tell her dad, she doesn't know how he's going to react, she wants to keep her baby, her friends tell her she is too young and to give it up.
Ok, can someone provide the backstory and symbolism of M climbing all the different sets of stairs throughout the video? It’s very rhythmic and I suppose it represents some sort of pacing- either physical or mental (or both). Perhaps it’s symbolic of a journey of sorts? Also, I believe she is only shown climbing up stairs or “ascending.”
I don't know about the stairs, but I feel like the walk might represent her desire for independence. She's got the perfect, to-the-beat strut, right up until the end when she's approaching the door to her house. Then her footsteps don't match the music anymore, like the tough girl persona slips away and the little girl comes out when she gets home with Dad.
Also, like Empress pointed out, one of those stairs doesn't having a railing on the right side. It's like if she's climbing a dangerous "mountain" with no security. The journey through her situation is not easy but has to be done.
I feel like this song was really about a young girl having an actual baby but THEY didn't want the image of a young white girl having a child and they changed it for the video
@@pensiveczar2239 it's a feeling I have. I'm not racist. Madonna was a controversial artist imo. I think I could see her making a song to help girls that were going through this
@@EmpressReacts I'm saying I think the song is actually about a pregnant girl. When she says she is keeping her baby she means she is pregnant with an actual baby. Just what I think I always thought whenever I heard this. But I think media is controlled and that they wouldn't allow Madonna to make a video about a teen pregnant white girl at the time so they changed it to just a boyfriend
@@EmpressReacts Full House, Who's The Boss, Benson, Silver Spoons, My Two Dads, Mr. Mom, Three Men and a Baby. The '80s was all about men packing their kids lunches, while mom was either dead or off on a lark.
To this day when I walk up stairs I imagine I’m Madonna in this video 😂

Don’t forget a shout out to Madonna’s girls in the video notably actress Debbie Mazar. Madonna met Debbie working at Danceteria before becoming famous. She hired her for a while to be her make-up artist. Debbie eventually made it as an actress and they are still best friends today.
Ah, cool never heard of her🥰 And Madonna was so 🔥🔥 i saw the friends, but i wasn't paying them any attention 🤣
@@EmpressReacts Debbi Mazar is a supporting actress in a lot of movies and shows.. Most notably she was on Entourage. She appears in a bunch of Madonna videos including True Blue....can't miss her.
Madonna got a lot of flack from society for this video & song due to the teenage pregnancy topic. I always loved Madonna’s acting but it was so common for people to give her 💩, so critics always talked 💩 on Madonna’s acting. So far LOVING your reaction so Empressed 😉
😁thank u‼️ And critics were some haters💯
Not even half way through this reaction and im throwing up tens for you Empress. Been waiting for this video.
Wow‼️Thank u🥰😇
Ah. I needed your ray of light today! Her look change was iconic, and unexpected because of the Live To Tell video gave a different look. "What she changed again???" woah. You will see the iconic walk again, and it remains iconic each time. Note at 2:09 in your video is Madge's friend Debi Mazar to her left in the orange shirt.
🥰😘Glad to hear the walk stays intact and s/o to the friend. Video so 🔥 i didn't even notice her🤣
Ok sorry for so many comments but I am watching & reacting to your reaction 😆 I was around 7 or 8 when I saw this video, even though it was more of an older teen or adult topic, as an empath I could feel what her emotions were & what the song was about (in the best way I could at such a young age). I definitely found a much deeper meaning as I became a pre-teen (due to the Erotica LP 😉). Wow so many more genres & looks to Madonna you have yet to discover!!! I am so excited to keep watching, once again you are like an addiction for me with these Madonna reactions 🤪
You're always good to comment as much as you want🥰 and i can't wait for the future
Empress you are doing the damn thang. Everytime that I watch this video I say the same thing about them steps😂 Whoa!! I think that Madonna being a chameleon, visually and sonically has helped make her an icon. A lot of musicians get stuck trying to strike gold again with the same thing. Madonna always takes chances and keeps it pushing.
Them steps had my heart racing 🤣 like nah, not walking up those. And i sense im going to 👀 more and more of what you mentioned
Yes girls definitely started cutting their hair, growing their eyebrows, and taking out that red lipstick- a style that lasted to the early 90s I believe
Wow‼️ That was a good run
Glad u liked it. Do you think her body improved from the LAV days? Or do you think she looked better with a bit more weight on her? I do like the look, I bet a young woman today could pull of that leather motorcycle jacket, with the striped shirt and jeans and pixie cut and look great and not dated. Thank you for the analysis and the attention you put into making this reaction ❤️
Thank u‼️ And honestly the LAV body is what's marketable today which is funny. Washboard stomach is always a must, but having a dunk is good too🤣. Im going with the LAV tour thick b
The father was also the actor that played Mookie's boss in the pizza restaurant in the Spike Lee movie, "Do the Right Thing". I know you saw that movie and remember him now!
So my blk card might be revoked🤣 i know Do The Right Thing and Rosie Perez dancing and the dude with the radio, but I've never seen the movie in entirety, but bits and pieces and since you mentioned it , yeah that's him
Oh yes. So happy yr getting into these videos. She is a ground breaking visual artist and she always takes it to the next level. She set the bar so high that to this day no one can or has a hope of catching up to her. Such a smart lady that always had a vision and always executed it without a fault or flaw. So respect and kudos for her daring and refusal to dumb anything down because she never underestimated her fans and never doubted their intelligence or free spirits. From one rebel heart to another. I love that yr so thorough.j
Thsnk u‼️🥰 aaand that's exciting to hear. Exciting things in the journey
Pen game .... visuals, emotions, pretty much everything top notch
💯💯
When you said vintage snack .... about Alex McArthur I laughed out loud , he used to shop in a toy store I managed in the 90s ... super nice guy... Madonna's iconic Italians do it better shirt is worn in this video.... also Madonna revisits her signature trot dance in her living for love video ...
😢not him shopping for toys 🤣🤣 oh and was he still cute then?
For his kids he looked the same ... I saw Tony Ward Madonna's boyfriend from her justify my love video and sex book at a concert at the Hollywood bowl. For the band "the cult" a couple of years back ... and i Saw Debi Mazar Madonna's buddy at s restaurant in glendale California..she waved .. she's in the madonna true blue video ...and a few of her other videos.
"Gurrrl you got options" I'm dead Empress! 😂😂😂 Formula and diapers ain't cheap. No vacation for baby momma or baby daddy. Oh well La Isla Bonita video next!
Hi Mike,
The third single Is "True Blue", then "open your heart" and then "La Isla Bonita" which Is the fifth and last single 😅
Actually True Blue and Open Your Heart videos first. La Isla was the fifth and final single.
I'm excited for the Open Your Heart video reaction, best video from this era. :)
🤣🤣 frfr, like he cute and all, but don't get knocked up by mike the mechanic. 2 yrs later she's on social media making subliminal post about how he ain't 💩🤣
@@EmpressReacts 😂😂😂
The short haircut reminds me of ONJ Physical. And she does that confident walk in her music video Hung Up.
Ah, my girl ONJ did cause a frenzy when she chopped it off 🤣
Great video. The storyline was powerful. Madonna’s new look was exciting. The solo / dance section was stellar. Love the song! 💛. Great job Empress for noticing all the details of this great song & video.
Thank u‼️🥰 Yaaas everything was 🔥🔥
The gentlemen that plays her father is actor Danny Aiello , his real life daughter was a Madonna fan and asked him to be her music video and he agreed. He also he played in Spike Lee "Do the right thing " 1989. Danny Aiello died in real life in December 2019😪
Oh wow‼️ Cool connection
I’ve been watching this video for 35 years and it’s still great for me. She was so smart to change her look and not become a gimmick like poor Cyndi Lauper keeping her one side shaved bright red hair. I was hoping Billie Eilish would have changed the green by now.
I dunno about that. By 1986 Cyndi was sporting a more mature (for her) take of the wacky wardrobe and hair. Check out the full set of Annie Leibovitz album photos around True Colors: more exposed legs, 30s Hollywood makeup, grown in shock of orange tresses. Did it sell like Madonna’s makeover? No way no day.
Dang Cyndi 🤣 and I too thought Billie would have changed her look by now. Im curious to see what her next look is going to be
@@maiph05 Interesting ‼️ And yaaaas defend Cyndi 🤣
@@EmpressReacts I’m not knocking Cyndi, I’m a fan also, I just think she made some bad career/image decisions around the same time Madonna really took off, and Cyndi had already peaked.
@@TheMike_I i totally know what you mean, i can pinpoint objectively when my favs took wrong turns 🤣
This was her first huge transformation not only in her looks way, also the music after the like a virgin era, I was very impressed at that time to recognize her and for a moment I missed her looks from the last Era but was very intelligent for Madonna to change and let the new Madonna become and was a huge success in the whole world
🔥🔥🔥
Another timeless classic video from the queen of pop! And I love that it was just a simple straightforward storyline that was masterfully conceived and shot, from start to finish! Nothing but Tens across the board from me!!!!
Agree 💯💯💯
E, I’ve never been a big fan of Madonna’s iconic strut/trot dance move, but girl you calling it the “limp ankle” dance is giving me my best life 2nite! 💀 Winner winner chicken dinner!🦵🍗
🤣🤣🤣‼️ I like it. I need to start a TikTok challenge
@@EmpressReacts Yes! Imagine if Tik Tok was around when Madonna came on the scene? M would have conquered Tik Tok as well!
@@tomrobinsondc Mos def‼️ She would've been 👑
The short platinium blond hair, dark thick eyebrows, red lipstick ( red nailpolish), the mole of course, corset, perfecto jackets were madonna signature look during True Blue like an 80s pinup
🔥🔥🔥
Awesome reaction. Iconic Madonna look. Iconic song. Iconic video. Madonna is an icon. 10's all across.
💯💯
FUN FACT: Across the pond in the UK, an 18 year old teenager Guy Ritchie (future film director and future Madonna husband) saw this video and had a crush on her. 12 years later they would be introduced.
Empress great job always, yours observations are impressive particularly since you are seeing this video for the first time, you pick up so much. True Blue video next!!! can't wait
I ❤ fun facts🥰 and isn't interesting when uber famous ppl like Madonna date/marry younger ppl. The person definitely knows of their public persona and they're either stan, groupie, hater or indifferent 🤣
Yesssssssssss u caught the dance move! 🤣🏆🌸 Love the flashback!
🤣🤣
Just wait til open your heart....
Can't wait to👀
"What a fascinating person Madonna is", love your phrase because that's the pure true 👍
💯🔥
Empress I know you are following a timeline of Madonna's career but one day try to react to this masterpiece short film of Madonna: The Secret Project Revolution and Her-story both about the freedom of speech, they are not music videos but short films with her, powerful and innovative, with a black and white esthetic and full of powerful messages, you won't regret. You have also "Iconic" a live performance from the Rebel Heart Tour another unforgettable live performance from her. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
This video is amazing, I love how the scenes fits with the lyrics
💯💯
Just wait till you get to "Evita". That movie is the ultimate proof of what an amazing actress Madonna really is.
Can't wait to 👀
Keep going, keep going! It's almost like watching Madonna video's for the first time, so refreshing each time!!!!
At this very time in the 80s the hits kept rolling & rolling, not just Madonna, all the legends were like hit factories!!!!
I will😎❤
She was 27 there and playing a 17 year old girl amazing.
This video was filmed on Staten Island, that’s where I’m from. I remember visiting all the locations and yes I totally felt like Madonna while walking up those stairs. And I have the “Italians Do It Better” t shirt. 💪🏼😍
Yes we do it better!
Okay, so you're just swaggy😎🆒️🤣
Oh yeah that’s me! 😎
When Katy Perry got that short cut 😬 *YIKES*

You said it all Empress! This video and your reaction were impressive =)
🔥🔥
Brilliant video and reaction.. I nearly got fired for being late because I wanted to watch and record it.. Haha. It blew me away.
As in all her videos she is captivating and demonstrates considerable acting skills. She is a good actress.. She's been in some dodgy films and played some interesting archetypes.. Hollywood cldnt manipulate her and what I find interesting is the need for press and media to topple a star.. Take the shine off them. Stories circulated about her being a diva on set and being a bad actress before anybody saw her actual film(Shanghai Surprise).. When she's good they accuse her of being and just playing herself..She can't win.... Having won Golden Globes Best Actress(Evita) she was snubbed by The Hollywood establishment at The Oscars the same year..... She has incredible presence and charisma.. And maybe she has much more control in these videos or its a medium in which(then) she was v comfortable with. She acts in her songs and here's something I've always thought., she's an emotional singer.. Its connected singing.. It affects, moves, provokes, engages.. as a, result it isn't always perfect, like life and emotions, it's sometimes, raw, raspy, flat, sharp, angry, vulnerable.. And then the technical music police, the vocal nazis come for her... She's a storyteller and a damned good one. Her music videos are events. No one can tell me she's a bad actress.. She's been in some bad films and made some restrictive character choices but that presence, that spark, thst natural affinity with the camera is always there. She was a massive threat and wldnt play the game their way.. So learned to work with like minded people.
She often used to shoot videos together.. same time, set, cast etc.(time and money saved and just logistics) so some studio shots etc, shot same time.. just styled/lit/coloured differently..
🗣🗣💯💯
The guy in the video that plays Madonna dad was in the movie "Harlem Nights" with Eddie Murphy,Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx.He played a hired detective for the mobs.
Oh cool
This video this song! Fantastic!💙💙💙

"He the one who got her this pimple" -- Empress
The shock hit my face so hard it cracked! I couldn't get the air back in my lungs I was laughing till I felt dizzy.
So wrong. I love it. Let’s go!
I think she can act but it needs to be the right part. The best acting i've seen from her was in Snake Eyes and obviously she won the Golden Globe for Evita in 1997.
She got good acting in her videos, the most impressive was the Bad Girl video from 1993. You will be shook.
Back to the 80s, this song and video is everything. Love her style with black white stripped shirt and leather jacket as well. Always here for her slightly rapsy ''Please'' in this song. This song will never get old.
Yeah Snake Eyes was called Dangerous Game in other territories, it’s definitely her best performance but shame the film is pretty crap.
Yaaas that Plz 🤣🤣gimmie me life
I was def here for this video from the second it came out. 35 years later, I still want that "Italians do it better" T-shirt! I loved how you picked up on her confident walk, she was selll-ling it...and in flats too. And yes, when she came out in the all black bustier and capri pants, her new snatched glow up did not go by un-noticed! After LTT and PDP, I knew she was def going to bring it for the rest of the TB videos!
Sooo🔥🔥🔥
I got all her music videos from 1983 to 2009 on DVD
I’ve seen this video so many times. I still ball at the end. 😭
Her short hair cut reminds me of the Who’s That Girl? Madonna. Thank you for sharing and reacting to this video.
Such a 🔥🔥video
🤣🤣🤣 I just knew you would mention “the dance”🤣🤣🤣 This video just melts the heart at the end! Oh and yesssss I’m so glad you thought the same about the scary stairs!!😳I love how we see one of Madonna’s oldest friends Debi Mazar playing one of her friends in the video. Debi was working the lifts at the Danceteria when she first met Madonna and Madonna said to her “Do you wanna dance” and Debi was like “sure”... this led her to do the makeup for Madonna’s “Everybody” video and others and has starred in later Madonna videos. Still besties to this day! 🥰 I’m super excited for you to see “Open Your Heart”... I hope it will help the song grow more on you ☺️
Oh wow so cool they're still friends❤🥰. And how ironic i included the video flashback of everybody
I had no idea that you had not reacted to the video! I am visually impaired so… The first time I watched this video, my entire family was around me. We were in the living room in everyone’s eyes were on me and then her and then me… I was in love! She seem to get better every album and there was no stopping her! Thanks for this amazing reaction! Empress, you are the best!💗💗
Aw, wow, i can just imagine the living room🔥
if you love this video, i can’t wait to see your reactions to her later videos! So excited! Keep it coming Empress! Love what you’re doing to us fans! 🙌♥️

I remember watching this video after watching her "Material Girl" video and HATING her wet hair look, I was like WTF did she do? But then when she Glams it later in the video she won me over, and I absolutely love her outfits specially her leather jacket. I have my own now because of her. Great reaction yet again Miss Empress!!!

Wow‼️ Thank u😇🥰
Madonna was fire. Don't listen to the critics. She did her thang.
Empress be really looking into Madonna.
Back in the day, we were more into seeing Madonna moving in videos than listening to the lyrics but, I see now, that we missed out on some deep stuff
Ah. I think you're one of the first ppl to say that
She was 27 when she filmed this.
You are right about doing the journey that way you do :)
Your channel brings so much joy to so many people. Much love to you, Empress :)
And omg the attention you pay to details...i never watched the Virgin tour to that detail to notice that dance move. I'm so impressed by you! I totally want to go to a Madonna concert with you :D
I wanna go too‼️ We'll have a blast for sure🥰 And idk i think being a MJ Fan has something to paying attn to detail because he was all about angles and moves
You captured everything. That’s why you are the Empress. And did I change my subscription. Did I do that! Yep 👍 top tier

Thank u‼️🥰

🔥🔥
My fave of your reaction (one of them) a walk down memory lane with you.
The father actor was a famous actor. Danny Aiello. In a lot of films
Wow‼️ Thank u🥰 Such a 🔥 video to react to
So glad you got to watch the video for this one Empress! How good is it! A-Mazing! :D One of her finest for sure, just extremely well done and great little story that tugs at the heart strings especially the relationship between a father and his daughter which I can relate to. I distinctly remember listening to this one and being blown away at how good it was when I was a wide eyed teen, on holidays in sunny Queensland, sitting in my room at night listening to the awesome local radio top 20 countdown back in 1986! :) Ah those were the days!! *wipes a nostalgiac tear from his eyes*
Girls, don’t kill your baby. Daddy will still love you.
The Dad in the video does a song called Papa Knows Best.
Also, look up Madonna Don't Preach.
Interesting ‼️
Empress is on fire ! 🔥
🥰❤
Geez, Empress makes me feel old lol, she doesn't even know the "Dad" is Danny Aiello from Do The Right Thing and Godfather 2
🤣🤣I've barely seen Do The Right Thing and I've never watched the Godfather trilogy
I was in high school when this came out. Every single guy around my age that ever talked about this video talked about the nip slip. Even in the comments here it's only the guys that mentioned it! You boys spent too much time with your VCRs watching this frame by frame! 😂
Wow‼️ Too funny💯
Love this video and song
PLEASE react to Danny Aiello’s independently released song and video sequel to Papa Don’t Preach‼️ It’s called Papa Wants The Best For You and it is... Well let’s hear your impressions of just what it is... Vanity project? Clap back? Heartfelt tribute? Bizarre revenge manifesto? Perhaps all of the above. Whatever it may be it is a MUST see Madonna-adjacent viewing experience!
🤣 okay, if i haven't reacted to it by the time i start looking at interviews from this era plz remind me
@@EmpressReacts Will do! And you will not be sorry you watched it. It’s weirdly well made, but also eerily terrible.
You can tell from how Madonna approaches her videos that she's good an inhabiting a character and embodying it as her art. She has trouble translating that to the big screen. I tend to think that she'd be better off in character parts rather than the leading lady vixen she always wants to play. She's hilarious on SNL. Wearing an orange top, you can see Madonna's friend, Debi Mazar. She's been in several of the music videos. She's been the most constant friend in Madonna's life.
I love love love your reactions
thank u!! glad you're enjoying❤😍
Cracked up at the Katy Perry shade 😂
🤣
Crazy to think that the "baby" she kept would now be about 34 years old.
🤣 s/o to all the 80s babies that made it
Madonna's real life best friend Debi Mazar is in this video and also in her "True Blue " Music video when you get a chance to react that video
Ah, cool
First. Good morning Miss Empress.
Good morning 🥰❤
This was about teen pregnancy. She is pregnant, and scared to tell her dad, she doesn't know how he's going to react, she wants to keep her baby, her friends tell her she is too young and to give it up.
Yep, that's what the lyrics say✅😁
Ok, can someone provide the backstory and symbolism of M climbing all the different sets of stairs throughout the video? It’s very rhythmic and I suppose it represents some sort of pacing- either physical or mental (or both). Perhaps it’s symbolic of a journey of sorts? Also, I believe she is only shown climbing up stairs or “ascending.”
I don't know about the stairs, but I feel like the walk might represent her desire for independence. She's got the perfect, to-the-beat strut, right up until the end when she's approaching the door to her house. Then her footsteps don't match the music anymore, like the tough girl persona slips away and the little girl comes out when she gets home with Dad.
Also, like Empress pointed out, one of those stairs doesn't having a railing on the right side. It's like if she's climbing a dangerous "mountain" with no security. The journey through her situation is not easy but has to be done.
Ah, i haven't seen her walking down steps...oops those greyhound steps in DSS🤣🤣
@@Kaia6485 ooo good point‼️
Hello Empress!
She is scared at dinner because she jad to say that she is pragnent,thats what couse all the controversy at the time!xxx
Great acting‼️
I feel like this song was really about a young girl having an actual baby but THEY didn't want the image of a young white girl having a child and they changed it for the video
It’s pretty evident in the video her character was pregnant.
Um?! What are you talking about?
@@pensiveczar2239 it's a feeling I have. I'm not racist. Madonna was a controversial artist imo. I think I could see her making a song to help girls that were going through this
So you're saying that the baby is already born from the character's pov?
@@EmpressReacts I'm saying I think the song is actually about a pregnant girl. When she says she is keeping her baby she means she is pregnant with an actual baby. Just what I think I always thought whenever I heard this. But I think media is controlled and that they wouldn't allow Madonna to make a video about a teen pregnant white girl at the time so they changed it to just a boyfriend
Madonna was in fact raised by her single dad
Mom's were OUT in the '80s. Back then it was all about the single dad’s.
🤣dang, full house
@@EmpressReacts Full House, Who's The Boss, Benson, Silver Spoons, My Two Dads, Mr. Mom, Three Men and a Baby. The '80s was all about men packing their kids lunches, while mom was either dead or off on a lark.
