Love your reactions. Some trivia regarding this song/video. The song/album of the same name is dedicated to her then husband Sean Penn. During the Rebel Heart tour in 2015, she dedicated the song to him, as he was in the audience. They are good friends, despite the tumultuous relationship they originally had. Ahead of the release, MTV and Madonna held a "Make My Video Contest" where people could make a video to this song. Madonna personally picked the best video and awarded them a cash prize. Of course, this isn't that video, but you can easily google the winning video for True Blue if you want to see it, Lastly, actress Debi Mazar stars along side Madonna in this video. She's been in several of Madonna's videos over the years. They both met before either were famous and worked at the same restaurant together. Madonna was the coat check girl and I believe Debi was a hostess or waitress at the time.
aww 27 year old Madonnas love song for her then husband Sean Penn. She was very in love at the time. Her real life friend Debi Mazar is one of the girls in the video.
You've reminded me how much I love this song. Brings back great memories from my teenage years. I love seeing your facial expressions Brenda, I can see the joy on your face. Sweet song and such a fun video.
I remember back then how Madonna was surprising everybody with her chameleon talent! In 1986, after we were used to her "Susan" style, she appeared with long blond hair for Live to tell, and in the movie Shanghai Surprise, then the next song, short hair with Papa don't preach, then next song, vintage glamour with true blue! She could have lost many fans then with all those changes, but the fans followed her! I remember in a newspaper some article saying "Madonna was like your girlfriend with Into the groove, she turned into your mother with Live to tell!" lol
there was a contest for making video for this song. so i only at first saw the winning video. it wasn't until i was a bit older that i saw Madona video
There is a second version of this video, without Madonna in it. When the song was announced to be a single, MTV held a “make my video” contest. Madonna herself handed the prize to the winner and presented the winning video as official
Hello! About the dancers: there are 3, but only 2 are credited. The first, being Erica Bell, in the purple shirt, who was in the Lucky Star video. The other credited dancer is Debi Mazar, in the dark blue shirt, who is still a very close friend of Madonna. They met at Danceteria in NYC. Debi did Madonna’s makeup for the Everybody video and she became Madonna’s makeup artist for several years. She is also in the Papa Don’t Preach, Justify My Love, Deeper and Deeper and Music videos. She’s been in several movies including The Doors, Batman Forever, Malcolm X and Goodfellas. She now hosts a cooking show called Extra Virgin on the Cooking Channel. No mention of the third dancer.
Madonna dedicated this song to her then husband Sean Penn (1985 -1989) but "True Blue " was dedicated to him and song was released in 1986. Also two of the girls in this video are her Best friends Debbie Mazar and Erica Bell.
hello, I always give small curiosity 'on videos. The girl with the tail next to Madonna and also the same as Papa Don't Preach and other future videos of Madonna Demi Bazar is Madonna's friend since the early 80s when she moved to New York still do things together. The song True Blue is dedicated like the whole album to her husband Sean Peen. In this period he recorded his first and only Christmas song for charity
So sweet. Dedicated to the alleged love of her life Sean Penn. Also, featuring Debi Mazar, her Besty… Still to this day. If you’re interested in something from the opposite end of Madonna’s library, perhaps a review from the Rebel Heart tour. I dare you to review Holy Water/Vogue… 😉 If that’s too much for you, perhaps the song Rebel Heart fm Rebel Heart tour, or She’s Not Me from the Sticky n Sweet tour?
@@OurAnxiousReactions I will enjoy the journey even more now that I am aware you are going through her catalogue in order. I actually went back and watched them in order. 😁
@@OurAnxiousReactions Best way to do it and notice the growth and change both in vocals as well as musical style. :) Makes way more sense than jumping from 2015 to 1986 and back to 2003 again ;)
That's a cute song and some fun facts from her adoring fan since 1984 (ME - LOL) - I bought every record and single she released and never looked back. Madonna always satisfied me, and I don't know of a lousy song from her. She's the perfect all-round entertainer with a beautiful heart you see on television and in interviews. (I think you can react to some of her interviews, and if you like, I'll give you links to some goodies). Here are the fab facts from a fab fan - the two girls dancing with her are her best friends and still are besties forever. Erika Belle, the black girl, is a designer. She also appeared as a dancer in her video "Lucky star", with the male dancer being her gay brother Christopher Ciccone. The white girl in the True Blue video is also her best friend and an actress (both ladies met and befriended Madonna before she was famous, so no preconceived ideas or worry about being used for money or fame - a very natural connection) - All three women are still bonding as besties, which makes True Blue more charming - By the way, they were channelling the '60s girl bands like the Supremes. It's nice to see you smiling, as this song still makes me smile - especially seeing that huge Madge smile takes me back to 1986. Enjoy the day / Evening.
She dedicated this 1986 song and 3rd album to her then husband, actor Sean Penn whose favorite expression was “true blue” about his very pure vision of love. Although they divorced in 1989 after marrying in 1985, they remained good friends, supported each other’s careers and have spoken highly of each other in interviews. In 1991, Madonna revealed that Penn is her one “true love” and the “love of her life”. She also said that Penn also inspired her 1989 4th studio album Like A Prayer, with the song “Till Death Do Us Part” about her sentiments on their troubled relationship. Penn redeemed his Hollywood “bad boy” image beginning in 2002 when he engaged in progressive political and social causes. He devoted much time and effort in relief and humanitarian work during the 2005 aftermath of hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans, and Haiti after a 2010 massive earthquake. Most recently, in 2022 he visited Ukraine to film a documentary, condemned the Russian invasion, and urged the Free World full support for Ukraine. He left one of his 2 Oscar statues to President Zelensky as a gesture of support, telling him..”When you win, bring it back to Malibu..”. Perhaps, Madonna was not wrong about Penn’s true character and values that she fell in love with. There’s a beautiful RUclips video when Madonna attended Penn’s 2016 dinner fundraiser for his non-profit charity Haitian Relief Organization that was doing humanitarian relief and rebuilding efforts there. During that event, she sang a beautiful, touching rendition of Edith Piaf’s classic love ballad “La Vie En Rose” in French while she played the ukulele. Haiti is a former French colony where many speak French and Creole. Her beloved mother was of French Canadian ancestry. In 2015 she was affectionately welcomed when she opened her Rebel Heart concert tour in Montreal, Canadian province of French Quebec, where she sang La Vie En Rose to repeated standing applause from adoring fans who joined her singing. During that tour, she sang True Blue with Penn in attendance near the front of the stage in NYC, and reached down and touched hand with him briefly when she performed a heartfelt “Ghost Town” in Los Angeles-you can watch these remarkable videos on RUclips. Please continue with your wonderful Madonna reactions.
The live version from the Who's that girl tour is worth a watch, she injects a bit more energy and fun into this classic song. Also don't miss La Isla Bonita, Who's that Girl and Into the Groove from the same tour, all incredible performances. Love from Australia
It is roumored that Madonna hates this song but this album true blue was the biggest selling album of 1986 and to this date with the exception of the immaculate collection is Madonna best selling album the album is a masterpiece and the true blue album came out on my birthday thank you for showing this ❤️
I love this video and how the two dancers are Erika the dark skin women was her dancer from day one of her career and in all her early videos up to lucky star and also in the video her best friend actress Debra Mazar …
Recognize one of the friends? (papa dont preach video) Thats her best friend to this day, Debi Mazr who is a film actress most notably from Goodfella's. You should watch her version from 2015 Rebel Heart tour in Brooklyn where she plays the song acoustic with a ukulele.. and dedicates the song to Debi Mazr who happens to be in the crowd.
So fresh ! So much in the spirit of the 60s and Motown ! Big Kisses from France ! A country that has loved Madonna from the start
Big kisses right back! ❤️
Love this track. 💙

Yeah, I think they are now going through her discography from start to finish, which is the best way to do it.
@@kristianberg4264 That does sound interesting. I have watched their videos out of order, so I had not noticed this.
Yes, we're going through her discography in order, so stay tuned for more! 😉
