Madonna Wins Pop/Rock Female Video - AMA 1987

Robert Bell and Richard Paige present the Favorite Pop Rock Video Female award to Madonna at the American Music Awards 1987. She asks the audience in the back rows if they can see her. The fans reply with loud cheers. She tells them that although she can't see them, she can still hear them.

"I think I have to be a midget to talk into this" LOL That was her speech

[@goliathsparrow1082]

she made the industry and now they snubb her, gorgeous

[@jacobpatrickpoulsen6608]

The radio stations in the US stopped playing her newer songs in the mid 00´s but in Europe she was still a big name on radio stations years afterwards. And also the radio stations only play new music from younger artists in todays industry. Madonna has said that she a long with other singers suffers from ageism in the music industry because after you reach your 40s and 50s you then (from the radio and medias point of view) is not that relevant anymore. Which is shocking when you see how many singers has been influenced and copied Madonna afterwards. So, yes she still sells out all her concerts on her worldwide tours that still breaks records, but in terms of radio play she is not up there where she belongs. However she is still The Queen Of Pop and no one can take that title away from her. :)

[@annneru]

Jacob Patrick Poulsen, the majority Americans hate her because she made them think. They prefer her copies because they are "younger female meat" while still shame Madonna on selling porno instead of music. Great habit! No wonder, she had a lawsuit in Russia for "decreasing the defence level of our armed forces". And it wasn't covered at all in American media because they hated Madonna more than they hated Russians in 2012. "Ghosttown" was not even a Hot 100... and these people are exporting democracy and human rights in "barbaric" Russia. Russia, where her new music is still played on the radio despite her attempts to kill her career here by calling Putin a closet gay who promotes intolerance and violates human rights. Wake up, American Music Awards! You're so xenophobic that treat/-ed Madonna as foreigner because she's ahead of her time.

[@mick2spic]

You're a fool if you don't think she was a huge influence. After MJ and Prince, she was it. Certainly their peers.

Yes. according to one biographer, she flew in for the awards just a few hours before the show. If she looks a little dazed and "out of it" she was exhausted from filming that went late into the prior night and then had interviews and such beforehand... and then there was the whole "married to Sean Penn" thing..

[@George-zk4nv]

And you know what? I watched a video a few days back that Whitney Houston showed a lot of courtesy and respect for Madonna and read that Michael Jackson had respect for her too. So she could’ve collaborated with them which would’ve been so amazing. And so was Prince. So because Prince gained worldwide attention and fame in the 80s, that brought a whole slew of people to show dignity and pay tributes to him, so that would’ve made her to do either a pop song or a rock song with him which would’ve been really enjoyable for many people.

Madonna has had so many great looks, and this is one of them. She kind of looked like this in Who's That Girl, which was a funny film when she was acting like a female Jerry Lewis. But then later in the film she started acting serious. I guess they wanted it to be romantic instead of just a comedy but Madonna would have never fallen in love with that guy.

For me, that was first aware of her in 1984, she just seemed so much more genuine to her true self here and in the rest of the 1980's. I don't know what happened with her marriage to Sean Penn (ONLY THEY KNOW), but something did as she seemed to lose her genuineness for me. Seems she re-invented herself so many times and look what happened when she suddenly adopted a BRITISH accent...and the big drop off in the quality of music didn't help.

[@dana.1546]

In the early 80's, Madonna's main opponent was more Kate Bush than Cyndi Lauper, in the U.K. at least. In 1985, Bush's album Hounds Of Love knocked out Madonna's Like A Virgin from the top spot and in 1987 again Bush's won over her the BRIT Award of the Best Female Solo Artist. It's the press that was always trying to fuel a non-existant war between Madonna & Cyndi Lauper. Even though it's true that with their 1986 albums called True Blue/True Colors some would say they were asking for it. :)
