Her best work along with Ray of light

The extra bass she put on her records gave her a leg up. A lot of 80s pop lacks bass - records couldn’t handle much bass, it would shake the needle off the record. But Madonna’s records boom with bass - especially papa don’t preach and open your heart. The audience must’ve been blown away by the sonic landscape of those songs.

True Blue deserve more praise than it gets. Almost like a thriller or bad album, just because she is a woman, it gets less attention.

I remember when Papa Don't Preach came out and radio DJ's would often start their show with it, or play it straight after news bulletins as those strings provide an arresting opener that would catch the ear. Very different to anything else that was on the radio time at the time. Madonna and her producers skill is to make simple pop songs sound unusual and interesting. On paper, Live to Tell is quite straightforward but they manage to build it into something that ends up being beautifully majestic and powerful.

The album that changed my life

I'm watching this video again a year after I first watched it. I can't say this enough. Madonna was "robbed" of so much critical recognition in the early part of her career. Papa Don't Preach, Live to Tell, and Like A Prayer should have been up for every critical award for Song and Record of the Year and the albums should have nominated for Album of the Year. But, back then, everyone but the buying public shied away from the controversies. It wasn't until Ray of LIght and Music did she get this critical recognition. While, yes, Madonna conquered the world with her songs, albums, and tours, I can only hope that one day, her complete body of work will get the appreciation that she deserves as a songwriter and producer. She truly has some of the most iconic and legendary pop songs that forever live in so many people's minds.

I agree. Completely ridiculous Like A Prayer didn’t get at least one Grammy - for Song of the Year anyway. Live to Tell should also have been recognised for its quality songwriting. But the Grammys was (and still is) dominated by white straight blokes and they prefer rock, acoustic, folk. And Madonna wasn’t taken seriously for years.

Thank you again for another amazing Madonna video. As a fan of Madonna I always look forward to you your research and insight. This is going to be a long post from me. I still have the original vinyl of True Blue and the original 12" picture disc of True Blue single. Live Aid: Love Makes the World Go Round and Where's the Party - red hair, beginning to change her look, original unreleased songs in front of the biggest audience ever, while others were doing their current hits or greatest hits? WOW. Live to Tell: say what? A ballad showcasing Madonna's lower register as the *lead* single? Yes, she made it work (and she kept her clothes very much on in the video). Papa Don't Preach - a classical string intro? Confusing on pop radio. Madonna (unmarried in the song) singing "I'm gonna keep my baby" - confusing the Catholic Church and Christian right no end - and a woman called Madonna who is a Catholic singing about having a baby out of wedlock...perfect pop tune, genius marketing and the iconic "Italians Do it Better" T-shirt. The absolute obsession with Madonna's physique, from soft/curvy to taught and muscled. True Blue - innocence and love - in retrospect - despite all the rumours of Sean Penn being abusive at the time, he still seems to be the love of her life, even more than Guy Ritchie. Open Your Heart video yet again, controversy - the prototype for the conical bra/corset - the tassels on the outfit, not just set at a peep show, not just with homoerotic imagery but with a young underage boy in the video watching her- she nearly didn't get away with that but for the end when she ruffles his hair. I am sure Felix's part would not be in that video if it was made today. La Isla Bonita - gorgeous track - she plays two types of Spanish girl - every Spanish stereotype in the video - but it works. Jimmy Jimmy and White Heat - fantastic album tracks A perfect pop album - each track a gem.... not a concept album - and ironically, given how commercially successful the album was it seems to be overlooked by many, including Madonna fans. As said, by others the Grammys were ignoring her in favour of Cyndi Lauper (who I also love), Madonna was just "too much" for them. PS - Ain't No Big Deal - the B side to Papa Don't Preach and Each Time You Break My Heart - the song she wrote/gave to Nick Kamen (RIP) amazing songs from this era too

Wow! I can´t thank you enough for this video. The True Blue-Madonna is my personal ULTIMATE Madonna. I became fan of hers in Summer of 1986. I was a tiny 11 year old boy then and I fell in love with this 28-year-old pop-lady when I saw "Papa don`t preach" musicvideo. What a Blast! I remember hanging Madonna posters on my walls and started collecting clippings and merchandise stuff. Now, 48 years old I have to say, that I still love listening to True Blue. It´s still a great poprecord. And the picture of the cover ist the best photo ever taken by her. Herb Ritts did an awesome job with that cover.

two classic albums

Well, another pressure Madge had on her shoulder was to push Cyndi out of the way. Before True Blue both Madonna and Cyndi were the top female solo artist. With She's So Unusual, Cyndi had already toured (successfully) the entire world, placed 5 songs into the top 40 and competed in major Grammy categories. But Cyndi's label and management took too long between Unusual and True Colors ... perfect opportunity for Madonna to enjoy the success of Like a Virgin and have the label market her everywhere and churn out True Blue soon afterwards. Cyndi's True Colors could have been managed better and could have stayed the course alongside True Blue. It shouldn't be a shock that Madonna knew how to use T&A to her advantage and sell it as an empowering tool and add that she was controversial. Cyndi was neither ... and that doesn't sell as well in the video era. Cyndi still broke barriers and raised the bar just as heavy as Madonna did; Madonna just sold it better.

In the 80s and 90s, Madonna had the best collaborators like Patrick Leonard, Stephen Bray, Jellybean, Shep Pettibone, William Orbit, Babyface, Dallas Austin, Nelle Hooper. With such team she could go no wrong. Plus she was hard working and interested in making great concept albums. Ever since 2010's, she had mediocre collaborators, and been making records like "business as usual". Madame X was her last concept album, but it failed to recapture the magic of her best. Some great moments among general dullness. She can't even pronounce words with her grillz on. She kind of lost it.

She has nothing left to prove - she's a trailblazer. She was at the top of her game for 25 years - nothing is forever.

Great stuff. However Michael Jackson was far from a 'small time' singer in the 80s though as he had already released Off the Wall at that time and had the success of The Jackson 5 and The Jacksons behind him.

Hello - I did one on Ray of light kzread.info/dash/bejne/pX6q2suHdJa9cpM.html

I remember Ron Weisner. It seems he doesn't like a woman who asserts herself like how men do. Madonna knew what she wanted and she wasn't taking no for an answer. She has seen what women are relegated to and she would not have it. Which is why Freddie was perfect for her. It seems like Ron was threatened by a woman who stands up on her own. The artists he managed seemed more demanding and had more dirty baggage than Madonna and he was ok with that. It's more of his misogynistic take, honestly.

correct me if i’m wrong but this woman was around her peak during michael jackson’s career so how could she be the biggest when he’s around

well True Blue was released in 1986 and MJ was relatively quiet that year until 1987 when he released bad. So Madonna kinda was the biggest popstar for a short while. It's not meant to be taken all that seriously - its just a title for a video.

“Feel-um” = Film??

Irish people tend to pronounce ‘film’ as two syllables ‘fil-um’. I know it’s not technically correct but that’s how I’ve always said it- hard habit to break now.

Madonna was never bigger than Michael Jackson in the 80s or early 90s. By the time she surpassed him - I'd say Ray of Light era - he already had a 30 year career....

Well Michael didn’t have an album out in 86 so you could say Madonna was bigger for a short while. Overall Michael was bigger though

by 1989 Madonna surpassed Michael , MTV chose her as Artist of the decade . and Michael had to approach her to do a collab. GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME

Concert sales not even counted

No I didn’t include anything about the concert - that would need a whole other video in itself
