She was ahead of the time.... nobody is expecting a R B or a hip hop track from a pop queen !!! So people are revisiting Madonna’s Erotica and Madonna’s Bedtime story and loving it!!!

As always Madonna was never afraid to tell you things to your face.

Baddest bitch in the game! Period!

That is her response to the press and stupid people after the Erotica era. Survival + Human Nature talk about the same theme.

This was her response to the backlash she recieved after her Erotica album and her SEX book, specially to David Letterman and the infamous interview where he tried to shame her. This is what happens when you tell Madonna to shut up and try to put her in a box. She gets more fierce under preassure.

Exactly. She was so criticized and called a whore and everything else bc of erotica and sex that she went into a depression then naturally in true form she blasted the people who made her feel badly with this song. I always say I’m not your bitch don’t hang your shit on me when someone tries to make me shut up bc I’m just a queen or I’m gay. It’s a free speech anthem as well as an anthem about equality. Love her!

That line at the end of the song, too: "would it sound better if I was a man?"

Madonna always stays true to her dancing roots. The choreo is amazing, especially with 9 dancers in separate cubes staying totally in sync while unable to see each other.

This was after the Erotica era which was very controversial. This was her response to that. Alot of people were against her, but I think Erotica and Bedtime Stories (the album this was a part of) is just more appreciated today, after all these years. Madonna has always been ahead of her time.

Madonna was ahead of her time and was always controversy but she sold over 300 million albums and that is the Guiness record for a woman artist.

Well listen to whole album Bedtime Stories it’s mostly trip hop, hip hop, r&b with bit of techo. Take A Bow is off this album.

Expressyourself dont repress your self !!!! Madonna love always forever :)

Did you not notice that the choreography conveys the song's sentiment? Madonna very often, almost always, align the choreography to the songs' energy and theme.

You’re so right. She never repeats the same dance moves like so many acts, she expresses herself through her dancing. Awesome ❤️👍 I had the privilege to see the Madame X Tour in Paris, she still has it ! I was blown away by her stage presence.

Madonna was still feeling the backlash from the Erotica era in '94/'95 from prudes.

Her strongest message belongs to this song.

They were never going to play this on the radio. It is sick and has always been one of my favorites. The cultural impact though. She was the first pop girl, to show that hip hop influence. Of course now everyone does

You have noticed the pentagramm ❤️❤️❤️

Legendary video from the legend Madonna ! One again !

MADONNA QUEEN OF POP FOREVER , YOUR COOL DERI .

Even though the song wasn't received well by radio, I remember VH-1 playing the absolute heck out of this video. And this was at a time when stuff like Foo Fighters, Nirvana, etc. were too "hard" for VH-1.

She was so critized after her Erotica album. This song and Survival from the same album were the responses to people who said that her career was over... just for expressing her own sexuality and trying to empower, in a sense, women. And also talking about important issues like aids... always the queen! 👏

I loved everything about your reaction. I remember the same delight in hearing this song for the first time. It charted at Number 8 in the U.K. Although it wasn’t an enormous global hit in 1994, it has become one of Madonna’s most popular tracks since then and she has performed it since and updated it. Sometimes a track comes out that people aren’t ready for at the time but then it just hangs around. The whole album is underrated.

This is my favorite Madonna song & era

Madonna queen 😍👑👑

Well this whole album was off the back of Erotica album which had backlash and mixed reviews but a lot of people like me thought Erotica was underrated. Then Ray of Light came and turned her popularity on its head like it was back in the 1980’s.

Bedtime stories was definitely my favourite album by Madonna

This is one of my favorite Madonna songs, and as soon as I saw you had reacted, I had to listen immediately. After the shit she got with the Erotica album and the Sex book she released, I loved that she came out with this. This is my go to song whenever I feel down on myself.

Her song 'Secret',from the album is worth listening to and music video as we'll. Glad you discovered this song.👍

Derek, whole Bedtime Stories sound like this, with some music intire influenced by Jazz, Hip Hop and R&B. This was the first album after Erotica and Human Nature is a response to critics and conservatism that atacked her years later. If you like this, I believe youll love the others songs, specially Secret and I'd Rather Be Your Lover

No one like MADONNA!,, love always ,Zane🌺🌹

In addition to reasons you mentioned, this was the fourth single from Bedtime Stories and by this point in her career, it was hard for Madonna to get much airplay beyond the first couple of singles from an album. Also, if you look at her recent hits at the time ("Take a Bow," "Secret," "I'll Remember," "Rain"), they were all ballad or midtempo. In the mid 90s R&B and adult contemporary ballads were huge. "Take a Bow" was STILL getting lots of airplay when "Human Nature" came out and for whatever reason Madonna opted to go for riskier follow-up singles rather than release another ballad from the album. Some local stations started playing "Don't Stop" instead of "Human Nature," so it was clear there was an appetite for more Madonna at the time.

This is one of my favorites! This was after all her sex book drama.

Madonna is brilliant!😇❤️‍🔥❤️👍🏾

Yes this is her flipping the bird to everyone. I loved this video. Fun fact...she has mentioned that all outfits in this video were bought at the local adult store and those are not her cornrows, pieces were placed ontop of her blonde hair. Its been said during this time the queen was already over exposed hence the single and album didnt do as well. But your right for me this was amazing. Thank you for the great vlog👏👏👏❤💙💚💛💜

Good call on the door closing 👏👏the theme here is about being shutdown. In response to the backlash after the Sex book and David Letterman appearance. “Would you like me better if I was sorry?” And yes Madonna always ahead of the curve. Awesome song and edgy S&M vibe to the video.

Always loved this video it's so RAW

One of my favorite Madonna videos! Don't repress yourself.

One of my all time favorite songs/messages ever.

MADONNAS, like the energizer bunny....................................🐰 Still going....🐰

When young female artists (pop,rap) today having this kind of attitude they get applause for it. Dont get me wrong, its a good thing, but it reminds Madonna wasnt very popular doing this. Actually I remember people were kind of annoyed and ignored her. But in the end Madonnas overall succés in this industry is unmatched.❤️👏

This video is still unmatched in every way,it did age very well,in fact she killed it during last year's madameX tour,one of the highlights of the show 4 me.

Love your reaction and appreciation for the instruments

This was her "don't fuck with the Queen" song

Pleather. Lol. 😂 So true. 👍

This video was therapy for Madonna...all the time media stalker her!

Can’t wait for you to hear the MadameX tour version. It’s so good!

You’ll love bedtime stories as a whole because you love that whole 90s r&b hip hoppy . My favorites from the album are secret, and I’d rather be your lover. Their is a remix of that out there with 2 pac . Oh also super fun remix of secret junior Vasquez. 👌🏽〽️

Always a trailblazer.

This video was produced by the french Jean-Baptiste Mondino (also Justify my love) ! French kiss

Video is so smart! This woman always brings something different a true artist! The whole video plays into the putting her into a box and her detractors!

I´m loving it!!!! Dereck! I´m so happy for this video! Human Nature is my favorite video of Madonna! this video made me strong and absolutely! Express yourself and don´t repress yourself! for 1994 was a huge scandal! and a lot of gossip for this! this video is kinky and i´m in love! hahaha believe me! the reaction that you had was exactly mine too!!! OMFG! i'm so excited!!!!! you dont know how much I love this song!! I follow your reactions a couple months ago and I love it! but for this! keep doing this!!!

React to the MDNA live performance of Human Nature 🔥🔥🔥

I always loved the knocking sound in this video

beautiful song and video 🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏

How have you not reacted to Madonna’s unarguably best performance ever yet??? Vogue at the 1990 VMAs!

You perfectly captured the message of Human Nature lyrics: an answer to all the press backlash after the SEX photo-book and Erotica album release

It’s a fantastic song and video. It was so “in your face” back then. But it’s apropos to her journey.

Madonna loves this song, she has played it in most of her tours since 2001. (There was no tour for Bedtime Stories album).

Her response to her haters/detractors! Incredibly artistic video and great song!

“I”ll Be Gone” and “never Love a Stranger”. These are two demos in this same style. They are Amazing! please react

"I'm NOT your B*tch, don't hang your sh*t on me"; spectacular choreography!

You will love Bedtime Stories album for sure. My fav album.

LOVE this song! The hushers she says, the unapologetic speech, the tongue in cheek humour.. Amen, girl! If you haven’t checked / reacted to Bedtime Story (from same album), please feel free...! ;). (Awesome song, beautiful surreal clip. True art.)

I love this album and the videos that came from it.

Justify my love!

Madannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa te amooo

she's the Queen she has those corn rows before it trended on all races. She is ahead of her time. She loves the shock

Love Love Love, watch her induction to RRHF

She did a track with 2pac also btw. Great reaction as well.

First!, Dereck!....love you!...

And now think about that this video went on MTV and Viva in a quite fine rotation :)

Dereck, please react Rain from her. The song is awesome and visually is stunning!

I and all my friends loved this song when it came out but I was surprised it didn't chart that high but I knew this was dope!! She dated 2Pac & Dennis Rodman at that time 94/95.

This video is a masterpiece. It is by legendary French photographer Jean baptist Mondino . This was her answer to all the haters and critics after the backlash of Sex & Erotica era. To this day its still modern and magnificent and you can't take your eyes off of it.... The song is one her most underrated and best and one that she performs a lot at her concerts....

Great reaction! You should definitely react to "Secret" 🔥👌🏼

The song Secret is one of my favorites it has a music video too

Yeaaah please react to Bedtime Stories, it's my fav album

One of the dancers in this video is italian Luca Tommasini! 💜

When people ask me why you don’t like Lady Gaga? Is not that I don’t like her BUT I’ve seen all she does before with MADONNA!!!! 😎

I’m a little younger than the OG Madonna fans who loved her since the 80’s. All the old Madonna I heard was from my older cousins records, so this along with Rain and Secret were some of the first “modern” Madonna songs I ever heard. My cousins also had the SEX book, which at 7 yo, I prob shouldn’t have seen 😂, but inevitably I saw it, and then seeing her not apologize for her self expression and shit on ageism and misogyny (I remember late night shows saying she was too old to be around), I was hooked after I saw this video. As a dancer also, the choreography in this video is SO hard, bc it’s physically complex and hard, but you have to emote waaaaay more than you would in any other context. This is a masterpiece in my mind.

It got to number 8 here in the U.K . Xx 💋

Love This Video Still In 2020!!! 👍👍

there was a radio edit for this song without the entire 'I'm not your bitch don't.." verse which appears on her GHV2 compilation back in 2002

Watch the dance dude.....watch the dance. It's beautiful.

His faces are so funny

A few things: the song references the "Sex" book, Madonna's poor treatment and bias by the Media during the release of "Sex" and the corresponding album ("Erotica") and what began to be a pattern of "Number 2's" (several of her albums in the 90's doing well, but missing the #1 spot) "Human Nature" was also the final single from "Bedtime Stories," and competed the same month in 1995 against the juggernaut single "Scream" by Michael and Janet Jackson, which shattered the Beatles record for debuting at #5 on the Billboard 200 (until Michael Jackson's HIStory and its first two singles "Scream" #5, and "You Are Not Alone" #1, no artist had debuted a single automatically in the top 5, since the Beatles) Also many radio stations would not play the controversial single due to Madonna D's use of "bitch" and "shit" in the chorus, until the song was edited, remixed or censored. She moved on quickly later in 1995, releasing the compilation album "Something to Remember" while she trained and filmed "Evita" in 1996.

I love that song, and the video is 💯 hot!

In high school, I love this song. Bedtime Story was all based on pop/r&b album. There's another song that you would be interested from her & its call "Deeper & Deeper" which has disco in it.

"I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me" The best lyrics ever!!!

The video is showing Madonna in a box it’s a metaphor of people being put into certain boxes and labelled.
