After seeing this in 2021, I honestly can’t imagine any other pop star being this legendary, political and unapologetic. Madonna’s status is above any other entertainer, this woman changed pop culture in a whole new way, she’s the greatest artist of the last century.
Xavier I agree with you 100%!!! No one can ever be as good as she is! She is an icon, I was a teenager in the 80's when she was just starting...love her still.
@Denis Ambrozhevichyus It must the others that never had the courage to be as impactful as Madonna or the ones that cricized Madonna but then copied her as Janet Jackson's The Velvet Rope copying Erotica
@Denis Ambrozhevichyus Well, I would say Prince was the male version of her or vice versa. Don't get it twisted, I'm a fan of both artist, I'm just saying, being a teenager (Gen X) in the "80s" I notice both Madonna and Prince took chances, didn't give a f%ck and change the game in the music industry in general. In other words like someone has already stated, they were "political and unapologetic" in making a statement in their music, when during the President Regan/conservative area, it was unpopular or consider very controversial for an artist to do so. I give props to both legends, Madonna and Prince who stayed true to themselves, didn't compromise their art, gave the middle finger to the so-called "Conservative Movement" in the 80s, saw through the movement's BS and hypocrisy.
Four words that tells you why she's one of a kind in show business. There may be better vocal performers, there may be better dancers, there may be better musicians, composers, lyricists than her..... But no one delivers such smart, ironic , sarcastic, unapologetic lines this fast in a interview, on nation wide TV.... Long Live the Queen!
The key factor here is that she truly believes in everything she is saying. She gives an eloquent, passionate response to every question because she is speaking from the heart. There's nothing phoney about it. She was able to stand by her art and defend it articulately because it was authentic. She has always been a pioneer, to this day. When Katy and Gaga and Miley are still rocking out in their 60s they'll be able to express their own sexuality freely, with minimal flack from the public because by then it will be normalised. And they can thank Madonna for enduring the ageism and misogyny she's having to face every day, so that the next generation will have it easier. Bless the Madonna 🙇♂️
@@MRSlade-hh7xr An adolescent, at the time of this interview. I don't get the "saving". I've listened to Madonna since 1984. Love all her songs & music videos. But I don't understand the "saving" She was avant-garde, but so were others, the pushing forward.
This was in a time, was censorship was very heavy in the 90s, yet Madonna still pushed down walls for female artists, she has been been denigrated in the 80s,90s,2000, and 2010, yet she still carried on, the great thing about this, is that she released this, and it was the first ever video single released, again, another first by Madonna
When gaga does "this" it always seems she's playing a role of a groundbreaker or gamechanger with her stoic confidence but HERE, Madonna is actually saying it from her heart n what she believes n u can tell she is just being super transparent n honest...this matters to her...she's a real beast n I cant imagine not having grown up with her and being in awe of her nonstop conquering
I would never have been the woman I am today without her. 30 years later. And that's why nobody will surpass her for decades, unfortunately for the rest of us. (As in writing this when Taliban has taken over Kabul again, the Banana Republicans are looking for bamboo and abortion is in jeopardy in so many countrie/states...) But in true fashion, can I just say: Fuck you all the authoritarian patriarchal assholes!
What I love most about this is that she doesn't back up ONCE. She has so much certainty and belief on what she is saying, the "responsible" part is my favourite, when the guy implies that people think she is irresponsible for "having sex in front of children" and then she states FACTS! She indeed deals with sexuality a lot, but promotes safe sex, only show consensual sex, talks about birth control, etc. Is not just sex for sex, is information, she IS responsible. But in the end kids are PARENTS' responsabilities. She is not pushing boundaries just to push them, she wants children to have conversations with parents and honestly, this couldn't be more current. Nowadays there's such a fuss about sexual education and how parents are responsible for talking about sex with their sons and daughters, BUT THEY DON'T! IT'S STILL A TABOO! So having a gateway to this conversation could be easier. OMG how much I love this woman....... She is so smart and so special. Trying to break a lot of current taboos 30 years ago...
She’s an icon, she's a living legend, she changed the course of history in pop culture. There are books about her life, art and legacy. People all over the world pay to see her perform, she’s been discussed by the Governments, Religious leaders, historians, activist and politicians.
She is a fit one for him. She had an answer for everything. This is just pure misogyny and homophobia. It’s ok for a woman to be sexual when it’s for a man.
This woman has gave me so much inspiration and strength to be myself. I love you Madonna you have done so much for me words can’t describe how grateful I am for her ❤
This is the best video of this interview that I have seen. It is so clear and I appreciate the posting of it. I believe this is my favorite Madonna interview, and for it to be on Nightline was a big deal back then. Thank you!!
Wow! I grew up listening to Madonna and now that it's 2021, I cannot believe how she is being interviewed? What a great example of why I don't watch television.
Truth. Talent. Tenacious. TV. It strikes a nerve at the corporate media. Art is a beautiful thing. Critics are part of our lives, but that's the incredible life we've been given. Art is truth. Madonna has forged her own path. Creative genious.
We all owe something to this woman. She has done so much for each and everyone of us. Straight, gay, bi, trans, everyone. She has been so brave, outspoken, coherent. Thank you, Madonna. God is proud of you.
Lady Gaga molded her career in Madonna's. She studied every Madonna's career moves and interviews especially from 1989 to 1991 which are the years Gaga recycled the most.
Madonna tremendous cojones :) she is the coolest white lady in America. So many all over the world learned to speak English listening to your songs. Madonna raised many good points. So ahead of her time never taboo. :) I started loving Madonna when I was six years old with the song " Everybody " I am 44 years old now. A living legend who has paved the way. Madonna Legend :)
I was 12 and cheering on her every word. I always admired her for being an actual artist with a message and never backing down in the face of criticism.
And he still completely missed the point and evaded her questions. Which just reiterated her point lmao. The sexuality that didn't follow heteronormativity and showed women empowered wasn't okay, but all other forms of media that's potentially harmful to a young viewer (degradation, violence, and straight male sexuality) is okay to go. Not much has changed
Completely ahead of her time, paved the way for all future female pop artists and the kids today don’t even get it. It’s wild how tame her videos were compared to 2023. She totally outsmarted everyone back then. I love how here she didn’t back down, she spoke even if her voice was shaking.
This video moulded my youth I loved it, thank you Madonna I learned how.to be a powerful influence on the men I wanted more from it took me to levels of "how to keep my man or lover"
Along with your outstanding work, the importance of posting this should be HIGHLY RECOGNIZED! “Controversial” my ass!! Nobody on this planet is as well-balanced as Madonna. PERIOD. Music AND message… TIMELESS!!!
Such an iconic interview! Thankyou so much Dan for showing this again! ❤🧡💛 ...side note... I kinda feel her outfit is a more toned down version of the in bed with madonna outfit that was represented as very janet jackson rhythm nation..?? 🤔 ... either way, she looks amazing! 😁❤
More than anything else what stands out watching this is how breathtakingly gorgeous Madonna was. Even when she’s serious I’m totally smitten. Many complain here about the interviewer but Madonna interviews today sort of evolved into most of her interviewers kissing her butt. In general if this was a major news story 35 years ago a lot has changed
Madonna always pushed the envelope and, to this day, nobody can surpass, much less mimic, her feats. By today's standards, 'Justify My Love' may seem "too cute" or "too tame" as far as other trying-hard wannabe "artists" and/or content creators who try make waves of their own.
Thank you for sharing this with such aswesome quality. Do you have other remastered interviews you could share with us? And, by the way, do you have the full broadcast including the Justify My Love segment? Can you imagine, back then, Madonna deciding to turn the "you know what? screw it!" mode on, edit the VHS single and include this interview in it?
At that point, there had been songs written by her male peers that were downright rapey, and rock bands that objectified women to near pornographic levels in their music videos. But they made Madonna have to answer to the national news media for her work.
I’ve been a big fan of Madonna’s music for years. She’s quite an entertainer. But it’s a constant with her - she can express herself anyway she wants but again, it’s shoving things down people’s throat. Not everyone and everything is about sex. Just like things that are happening today - sometimes it’s all just too much Madonna! Even for you.

Brave, smart, passionate, this is Madonna, this is the legend ❤️
Absolutely! I honestly find her to be the most well balanced person on this God-forsaken planet.
Set the pathway for all female pop stars to follow. Iconic
She was for MTV what Marilyn for Hollywood, they needed her but at the end they didn't appreciate them as they deserve.
She raises so many good points. I admire her so much for fighting for freedom of expression.
this really needed a remastering. Thank you so much for your hard work
Yes. This a perfect way to entice new viewers to watch and listen to such an important, and timeless message.
"Justify my love" - controversial - "Erotica" um....hold my beer. Awesome
Cheers!
Hahaha!!!

She provided the soundtrack for my life from my being a teen in the 80's up to the present time.
Exactly. Like in my case. With the insistence.
One of favorite Madonna interviews.
