Her going away with the boy at the end also represents her choosing innocence at the end (her words).

This is Madonna at her absolute best!! ICONIC!!

One of my fave Madonna songs ever.

This was such a big hit and another masterpiece song from the Queen!!!!

My favorite Madonna song.

This has always been one of my favorite Madonna songs and video. I remember waiting for the video to be shown on MTV back in the day. It was always an epic event when one of her videos was being shown for the 1st time. The remix for "open Your Heart" is also one of the best Madonna remixes produced. It was also exciting when I was at the "Who's That Girl" tour and she opened with the song remixed. The entire "True Blue" era was amazing!!!

True Blue is her best album and I would put this song on my top ten Madonna songs. Like Causing A Commotion, this song is so underrated.

The paintings and "the gay marines couple" are a tribute to the Polish Art Decò painter Tamara de Lempicka, one of her biggest artistic influences. We're given one sun, one life and one Madonna in a lifetime.

She owns several of her paintings. Was reportedly sent a cease and desist order to stop using the artwork in her videos

It’s literally called a “Peep Show” they were a thing decades ago. You had to insert coins for the shield to lift so you can see the show for a certain amount of time. If you wanted to continue to watch, you had to keep adding coins so that the shield wouldn’t drop down and block your view. The military men in the video are in Navy uniforms (Dress Whites) they are not Marines.

Now Dereck, you know the chance that we had during the eightie for people born in seventies? Come with us Dereck we go back in time to the 80s, the best years;

This is singularly my favorite Madonna song!!!

The bridges in all True Blue tracks are phenomenal

This was 35 years ago 😱 such an icon ❤️

True Blue is my first Madonna album, by the time the sub-tropical Asian island I lived was still very conservative and even she was already famous in the States and the rest of the world, we seldom saw her news before True Blue, and since I knew her, I fell in love with her music and look.

the album true blue is a masterpiece full of really good songs.

Genius...god given talent..you can't deny it. X

She was, and will always be a goddess.

The young boy represents innocents in video. Given her characters profession the boy is her anchor to her own innocents. That gentle kiss with boy at end of video is sisterly and was more for Madonna's character benefit. Her dancing with young boy was herself trying trying to retain her innocents. Quite the contrast of her job and the innocents of boy. I lived this video and song in real time in the 80's. She drove my hormone teen body crazy at that time. Memories.....

One of my faves and I am straight, fancy that 🤷‍♂️

I loved very much madonna in this album..true blue album..

The old guy said Madonna come back we need you here, this is probably my favourite song of hers, check out the live performances from Blond Ambition and the Whos that girl tour ❤️

The controversy this caused when this came out. This was instantly iconic. When she removed the black wig - huge sigh of relief Lol

I interpret it that they’re enjoying her body, but the child appreciates her more.

OMG I am 9 yrs old again and playing my first cassette over and over on my walkman, dancing in my room. While hanging up the latest posters from my music magazines on my wall🤩

I always like to think that the boy is her little brother who's waiting for her to finish dancing, and at the end they run away together.

another mega hit of Madonna.

Even when the video came out, I never thought it was sexually explicit, the innuendos yes. The little boy, preteen is very much curious like any boy his age, but is stopped at the door from entering. People were quick to judge Madonna as always, especially the Catholic Church. And I can see why Madonna rebel. I was born and baptized in the Catholic Church, my family are hardcore Catholics. Big Madonna fans since the early 80's and still do to this day!

In my judgement, this is more or less Madonna's absolute best track, and that's saying a lot. There's more to this in the lyrics than just the innuendo; there's empathy, kindness and compassion. After all, who wouldn't someone with the kind of beauty, charisma, athleticism and fearlessness of a Madonna to come up to them and say "I see you, I want you, but I see how much pain you're in. I see you're lonely and insecure and afraid to reach out to someone like me. Come to me and let me help you and let's see if we can get better together. If you'll meet me halfway, I'll do whatever it takes to help you and together we can do anything." All of this is on top of a seminal 1980's dance track; the video just magnifies its greatness. It just can't miss. The videos of her performing this track live in concert and just owning the crowds are utterly mindbending.

Agreed. This is my favorite song of hers.

Open your heart live performance from who that girl tour is blown me away . So perfect for every things. When the vhs release. I watch it almost every day , never get tire

Nobody does it better then the Queen! The writing at the end of the video is in Italian, and it says Come back , come back Madonna, we still need you.

Go Dereck!! Taking me back to my childhood. Thanks guy!!

Speaking of Liza Minnelli, you should react to her collaboration with Pet Shop Boys, 1989's Losing My Mind.

Another great song from our queen madonna…. The son of her close friend and composer…#mdna 🇨🇾🏳️‍🌈🍓🦋🌈🦖🌺🍒🌻💚

This video was the inspiration for Gaultier perfumes: Classique, the bust with the corset and Lê Male with the two marines (you have to search for the first poster with the twin marines).

G'day it's Steven from Down Under Love this song I was seventeen when this song was released and i may have been a little naive at the time, there were so many excesses in the eightees and we were use to over the top things going on so much so that this was "no big deal" to the teenage generation. Yes she's a stripper in a peepshow, to me Madonna is beautiful and mesmerising and this song is one of my favorites of so many brilliant Madonna songs. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF POP

The whole video is a tribute to one of her favourite female artist, polish Art Deco painter Tamara Lempika.

ICONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She replicate the Album Cover (True Blue) when put out the black wig.

Iconic videoclip!!! She is amazing. Always

Channelling her "Sally Bowles" look from the film Cabaret

The boy represents innocence. She leaves her innocence at the door and then reclaims it as she leaves

Interesting that you mention this Madonna song was originally written for Cyndi Lauper, because there is another song that Cyndi released and it's called "Change of Heart" which is really great, you should react to it, if you haven't already! The video is also great.

This is such a massive hit!! If there is one Madonna song that I would like you to react to, it's Time Stood Still, an all time favorite of mine - goosebumps guaranteed!

Your reactions are so good. You teach me new things about songs I've known my whole life :))

One of her very best for sure 💕

One of her 12 #1s. Still love it.

You have to react for Open your heart at MDNA TOUR! IS A MASTERPIECE 🎤🎤

Great reaction, Dereck. Clearly I'm on a "Dereck Reacts" kick this fine Friday afternoon. Hope all is well with you. If you haven't taken a person listen yet, definitely check out the 12" version of this song. You will go freaken bananas!

She was and is an icon. Those that followed her are a pale comparison. She embodied female empowerment. She did it with out social media and the internet. No instagram or twitter., facebook. No pathetic sycophants that blindly followed her every move or song release on social media. The "Bee hive" can suck it.

The boy symbolizes innocence! She is sort of saying goodbye to her own innocence when she sings to this man!

For me it was 'Like a Prayer', although it was late 80's.

I love this song ♡

The kid is Felix Howard, he was from the UK and was 13, popular song writer now.

The mural at the start of the music video was The Andromeda In Chains by the painter Tamara Lempicka. And the men in tuxedos are cutouts of her paintings. The young boy was Ronnie Howard but because he wasn't able to tour with her for the Who's That Girl Tour because he didn't have a work permit. It was Chris Finch who was her backup dancer for this tour and he played the role of the young boy in the music video. The theme or the message of the music video is that Madonna chose to leave the world of debauchery and depravity in exchange for innocence by being with and dancing with the young boy. Madonna used the chair for both the Who's That Girl Tour and the Blond Ambition Tour for this song's performances. Since you like this music video you should react to her Who's That Girl Tour. And react to all of her music videos, live performances from her concerts, charity concerts and TV and award shows from the beginning to her latest.

I love watching all of your Madonna reactions. However, of all of the Madonna reactions, no one ever seems to touch her first album. It has some amazing songs on it. Would you take a listen and reaction to that one please?

I take the little boy as innocence of the soul & at the end Madonna’s character chooses to keep a child like imagination in an adult world & try to stay innocent within an adult sinful world.

Thats my b*tch!! Love her so much 💕💕

dear Dereck, Kindly react to unreleased Madonna “Never Let You Go” .. its a bop

Hi Dereck! Thanks for your react on Madonna. One of my fav in this True Blue album in 1986 after La Isla Bonita. It seems for the 7'" release, the song is a little different from the album version. I prefer the one of the 7" and music video, more catchy and dynamic, no.54 in Top 50 in France and ranked in Spring 1987. Do you know, the little boy is the same in the Nick Kamen's M/V "Each Time You Break My Heart" if you react again on him, it's a very good song ranked the same year 1987 in the TOP 10 in my country, a big success, no.8!!! The videoclip was shot in July 1986 (released in December 86) is directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino a well-known French director and photographer who worked with several French and International artists especially in 80's (Sting, David Bowie, Les Rita Mitsouko, Axel Bauer, Etienne Daho, Alain Chamfort, Mylène Farmer,Vanessa Paradis...), he is in high demand and recognized for his work. For proof, he'll rework with Madonna for the M/V: Justify my Love (1990), Human Nature (1995), Love Don't Live Here Anymore (1996), Don'T Tell Me (2000), Hollywood (2003). Madonna plays the role of a stripper and it's a tribute to Liza Minnelli and Marlène Dietrich. It will be good if you react to the songs/videoclips of this album, there are "gems" like La Isla Bonita, True Blue, Live To Tell..., one of my fav' album in 80's with her first album in 1983. Thanks for your great work Dereck! 😉👍

80s : the decade of Madonna and Michael Jackson. An album could contain 4-5 hits. The album could stay longtime in the charts until a new one was ready.

Hell tf yeah!

As a gay man for almost 50 years, I swear I didn't know you were gay lol

I always had the feeling that the message from this video was aimed toward her audience...that even though her career/performances are highly sexualized, she is a kid at heart (which accounts for her running away with the innocent kid).

Why is half of the video censored/blurred? It's like the middle ages here on KZread.
