Madonna // NIGHTLINE INTERVIEW // Justify My Love controversy 1990 // Dan·K Remaster // HD

[@sergiorodriguez6906]

The way she says "yeah, so lucky me" is iconic

[@Hisoka85]

And that beautiful smile just after saying that

[@saraleila773]

I love this recognition! Sweet spotting.., I love your angle

[@popboy0]

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!

[@Cali5556]

Conservative folks: "Whore!" "Morally bankrupt!" "Desperate!" Madonna: (*laughs in bestselling VHS video single and Billboard chart-topper*)

[@VegasValentineMusic]

And then "well, I only have a few minutes, so." 😂😂

[@DeusXavier]

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.

[@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona]

You’re diminishing others. Interesting

[@lisabrown6280]

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.

[@ginasousabranco5637]

@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

[@MrJuly1990ish]

@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.

[@saraleila773]

Well said!

[@rafaelrivera364]

There are many dumb people out there indeed. Sadly. 😝

[@caglaryerlikaya]

@@rafaelrivera364 You are right :D

[@lutalice]

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 🙇‍♂️

[@saraleila773]

WELL SAID!

[@saraleila773]

Recognize! Yes, bitch!😉😎

[@lauraa7042]

Absolutely! Her battle against ageism is fucking awesome.

[@Stoy-boy]

I love how eloquently, intelligently and respectfully she defends her position.

[@ers-tj4to]

“I crawled under my own table”. Love her!

[@lesleybthedapperkiwi]

Thank you - she was so ahead of her time - especially given 2021 cancel culture.

[@shiffault]

She was always ahead of her time 💕💕💕

[@acesigma06]

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

[@WasWasLo]

Man I can't wait for her biopic. It's gonna be epic.

[@seventiesgirl6449]

I love Madonna's strength, courage and complete ability to assert herself with anyone or anything. This was her absolute best interview ever.

[@thesin573]

Brave, smart, passionate, this is Madonna, this is the legend ❤️

[@saraleila773]

Absolutely! I honestly find her to be the most well balanced person on this God-forsaken planet.

[@crypticvinforever6350]

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

[@augustinwinter333]

couldn't have said it better

[@samhartford8677]

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!

[@glenncarrington8486]

Couldn’t agree more

[@Valeriazane]

Gaga also does it in her own way. do not compare her. she is representing HER generation, carrying the torch from her predecessor :)

[@PauloCesarLira5]

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...

[@Madonnism]

perfectly said!! I totally agree with you!!

[@MAK0948]

Set the pathway for all female pop stars to follow. Iconic

[@deriqvision]

She raises so many good points. I admire her so much for fighting for freedom of expression.

[@latinheat1132]

She was for MTV what Marilyn for Hollywood, they needed her but at the end they didn't appreciate them as they deserve.

[@ginasousabranco5637]

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.

[@saraleila773]

….and yet she might be the only one I trust completely. Seriously.

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.

[@roylicett]

OMG you did it again, another amazing HD video 😍 you’re awesome man

[@elm1230]

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

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.
