I never knew she did another video with the Take a Bow matador with the incredibly pert bottom. I do remember this song. I think Madonna's look fit in well in period settings, perhaps because the sharpness of her features is very 1940s (not sure when this is set though...).

I think I remember the song mostly for the video. This video is also gorgeous. I guess in some ways when Madonna became more homogenized she depended more on the video (her 80s stuff was obviously video-heavy but I think the music holds up on its own and I think of the song first, then the images) -- I like "Secret" but that video never did a lot for me, mostly because, while she is very sensual, you just keep focusing on her boobs and wondering why they're hanging out the whole time.

What did you think of the Bad Girl song or video?

Bad Girl is one of her best video moments. It was also directed by David Fincher (who directed Express Yourself, Oh Father, and Vogue).

That song was not radio friendly or commercial (like most of the Erotica album), but I think it was another case where she knew it wasn't going to perform well commercially, but she had a great video concept for it.

Like A Prayer and Ray of Light are her most well-regarded albums, and set of videos as well from the singles off those albums.

Her recent videos, primarily from 2003 onwards, are regarded as some of her worst. I think she probably stopped caring as music videos don't have the same type of impact as they used to have.

Her singles catalog is quite massive and diverse, I guess it would depend of which "Madonna era" is your favourite.

Yeah, I meant, what would your favorites be, whether that's considered her best or not by common opinion.

Videos I don't notice as much but I did enjoy the Take a Bow and Like a Prayer videos. The quaintness of some of her early videos, especially Material Girl and Borderline with the stories about her true love who is a bit of an outsider, also hold up. I liked the Music video too and the one with the men in the cowboy shirts.

Songs, I enjoy her early club stuff, and the Ray of Light album, and then some other scattered songs.

I never cared a lot for the video where she was a peep show dancer (or the song for that matter - I think it was "Open Your Heart")...aside from the fun moment where the hot twin sailors are watching. ^_^

I think the videos off the Like A Prayer album are her strongest as a bunch. The album is also her most critically acclaimed work, and many fans fight over it and Ray of Light as her best album.

Ray of Light and Bedtime Story also had very strong videos attached to their singles.

Her best and most memorable singles album is definitely the singles off True Blue, though. I think it's the album that produced the most classic and commercially successful singles for her as a bunch.

Was Dear Jessie from True Blue (I know that was Europe only)?

I think True Blue is an underrated song, and she let a fan come up with the concept for the video didn't she? Here's Debi Mazar...can't remember if she and Madonna are still friends. It's too bad she always looked so scared on Dancing with the Stars, she has had more personality elsewhere.

      Yup.  You can't hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

      Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward

      The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories.

      I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.

      That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April.

      As The World Turns Discussion Thread

      By vetsoapfan · Posted

      I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!
