This video was so ahead of its time. Love that you guys enjoyed it. Madonna is such an amazing artist. Fearless
There’s so much symbolism in this video.
The saint and the falsely accused man are the same person.
The church and the jail are the same sets.
The burning crosses that represent intimidation.
A woman witnesses evil and seeks sanctuary in a church. She falls asleep on a pew and dreams of the saint coming to life and her realization (though stigmata) that she must become the savior to the falsely accused man. Her dancing in front of the burning crosses represents overcoming fear and intimidation.
This video, and the whole story of how its controversy was epic in so many ways. This was Madonna taking over artistic control of her career.
Prince did not write the song but he played that guitar rift that opens the song…when you first see her running and falling.
Anyone remember the hell …Madonna went thru….losing Pepsi contract….crazy times…She opened the eyes of millions thru her music and stardom…thank you Madonna
This song was so controversial at the time- society was not ready for this. The Catholic Church and society, had an issue with her dressed scantily in church kissing a Black Jesus, and the burning crosses. Just the idea of portraying a black Jesus- blew people’s minds! She lost a multi- million dollar Pepsi deal,because of this video. If you have not already noticed, Madonna is known for pushing boundaries and not giving a crap. She paved the way! Iconic! “Justify my love”will shock you.
A lot of people thought so, but it wasn't a "Black Jesus".
It was a catholic saint by the name of ST. MARTIN OF PORRES from Peru.
Madonna herself explained this, and the actor playing the role of the black saint, explained it as well during an interview, that you can still find on CZcams.
It crosses symbolizes kkk
You haven't seen anything by anybody until you've seen Madonna live. No idea how great she is. Like A Prayer from the Blond Ambition tour and also from the Sticky and Sweet Tour will blow your mind. She's an unparalleled artist from any generation, male of female.
At some point you MUST react to Madonna's LIVE performances.
Performing LIVE is what really sets Madonna apart from all other music artists
and what made Madonna the Legend / Icon that she is today.
its literally the perfect song. every note, every vocal, every key, verse, bridge, chorus, is perfection. it is sad, joyous, political, religious. it will never not sound like it was written the year its being listened to and not 1989.
The Madonna everybody knows: Express Yourself => Justify my Love => Secret => Frozen => Hung up (or Sorry) Madonna more seriously and showing a little more of herself: Live to Tell => Of Father => Human Nature => Drowned World (Substitute for Love) => Ghost Town
I love hearing about your memories with your mom dancing around to this. So cool y’all share those memories
More Madonna on this channel please! :)
The guitar riff you hear at the beginning of the song was PRINCE Rogers from Minneapolis.
Also Prince and Madonna collaborated in the track LOVE SONG, included in the Like a Prayer Album.
"Like a prayer" the lead single and title track from the album of the same name. "Like a prayer" album is often considered by critic as the perfect pop album. Madonna dug deep and did a 180 on this project: she got personal, it's an album about family and faith, it's also her divorce album with Sean Penn.
Co-written with Patrick Leonard, and the music video directed by Mary Lambert, it's consistently on best video lists.
The video started with Madonna, running away from something, fell just outside of a church, went in for a refuge, fell asleep, and had a dream where one of the saints (not Jesus), became flesh, and inspired her to tell how to proceed with her conundrum. When she woke with a choir singing and resolved to clear the name of a black person accused of a murder he didn't commit. A mini story that is still sadly relevant in the US.
More Madonna video please.
My favorite Madonna eras are 1) Spiritual Madonna (Ray of Light), 2) Disco Madonna (Confessions on a Dancefloor), 3) Erotica/Sex Book Madonna, 4) Folktronica Madonna (Music).
Loved Madonna week!!! New subscriber.
Next Madonna week needs to be:
Frozen, Bedtime Stories, Justify My Love, Hung Up, Don't Tell Me.
G'day it's Steven from Down Under
All hail the Queen of Pop!
Love hanging with you guys. I was 13 when this came out and a huge fan. Great to see you appreciating it. Prince plays guitar on it
The queen !!
Iconic !
Legend !
Reinvention!!
MADONNA unic !!
I was having a chuckle watching the boys mouth along to the lyrics of the chorus obvs not picking up the meaning of the lyrics. Down on my knees, I want to take you there. Haha 😂 😂❤❤❤
Seeing your love for this song is great. Being older than you guys I can remember being at my aunt's house as a ten year old, waiting by the TV with the VCR at ready. And when this Pepsi commercial came on the entire world STOPPED. Nobody talked. Nobody even knew what we were watching but we knew it was incredible. The mass hysteria after it was insane. The church called it blasphemy, Pepsi never played the commercial again. It was one of those moments in history that was nothing short of iconic. Nobody does it like this anymore. Also, this remains my favorite song of hers despite me loving quite a huge selection of her catalog. Genius all around.
This song is history
This song is such a masterpiece!
i just love watching the modern generation reacting to my childhood pop culture ...it brightens up my childhood memories 😅
You are correct. This is Prince on guitar. They have a duo on the Like A Prayer album. 💜
Loved this. Hope there is a Madonna Week 2:
5.) La Isla Bonita
4.) Pappa Don’t Preach
3.) Frozen
2.) Hung Up
1.) Burning Up
I hope you do a 2nd week with some more modern Madonna songs. I discovered her around the year 2000 so my faves are from 2000 onwards.
I’d suggest, American Life (Director’s cut), 4 Minutes, Hung Up, Girl Gone Wild & Ghosttown.
Love your Madonna reactions guys, please do a Madonna week 2. You guys are awesome ❤
The bass here is insane 🤪👆🏻
I loved this song and video since it came out when I was 4 years old in 89
This is my favorite Madonna song too. Classic.
Just amazing. There must be many more Madonna weeks coming up.
I just stumbled on your video reaction and I'll definitely be checking out more! Madonna fan since 1984 :-)
Where is Hung up, La Isla bonita, Borderline, Music and Frozen???? Please!!!!!! Another Madonna week. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great reaction! week 2 Madonna could be Borderline, True Blue, Papa Don’t Preach, La Isla Bonita and Open your Heart.
Love this video...iconic... Irreverent...protest...revolution world... XP
I just now realised that 'Dawn on my knees, I'm gonna take you there' is not about praying LOL - My dream reaction would be Top 5 controversial videos: Madonna Erotica, Prince Get off, Lady Gaga Judas, etc
@Christian-mr4cs Strange question to ask during Easter :D
More Madonna please. My Queen

2-Like a Virgin
3-True Blue
4-Like a Prayer
5- I'm Breathless (Soundtrack to a movie staring Madonna)
6-Erotica
7-Bedtime Stories
8-Evita (Soundtrack to a movie staring Madonna)
9-Ray of Light (The album that defines a BEFORE and AFTER in Madonna's career)
10-Music
11-American Life
12-Confessions on a Dance Floor
13-Hard Candy
14-MDNA
15-Rebel Heart
16-Madame X
You guys are great, so fun to watch. With the exception of vogue, this coulda been 80s week Madonna.
Madonna is the legend of the video music era, so you could do MANY top 5s!!
Here’s my fan pic…and, I’ll just do 90s Madonna:
1. Human Nature
2. Justify My Love
3. Deeper and Deeper
4. Frozen
5. I Want You
HM-bad girl, nothing really matters, bedtime story
Also, might be fun to do a fan pic top 5 live performance - she’s a phenomenal live artist!!
You could also do a Madonna Live Week - some of my favourite Madonna performances are Express Yourself and Like a Virgin from the 1990 Blond Ambition Tour, Sooner or Later at the 1991 Oscars, Frozen at the BBC 1998, Hung Up at the 2005 Grammys
Every Madonna fan got into her in a certain of her eras - mine was Erotica in 1992. Of course, you then go back through her catalogue. So my era was dominatrix Madonna.
Racial injustice.
People being indifferent to the crime they witness.
White supremacy.
Stigmata.
Religious euphoria with God.
All put into a music video in the form of a play. Art imitates life.
Every Madonna video release and “live” performance WAS an event in itself back then. The only Queen that matters.
Great song, great reaction guys and Joe you’re absolutely so easy on the eyes!
Loved Madonna week great reactions new subscriber❤
Great video guys Madonna is a guilty pleasure for me I love this song and her song frozen 😊respect 🙏
Great reaction guys!!! Hope to see more Madonna reactions! 👑👍
for the next Madonna top 5 - Hung Up.
Just found your channel love the obvious enjoyment you get listening to these classics I was there first time 👨🏻🦳
Yes! ! (and I'm almost embarassed to be so into This weeks Top 5. (fun fact - not a big secret anymore, - Prince is also playing guitar on this one )
you guys are great, not sure if you're trying to make people laugh but it's working
My favourite part of this video is at 4:16 when the guy jumps down from the roof like a vampire. Also, I can imagine Joe doing exactly that in the car. 🤣
Good luck. When you start Madonna, there's no going back. 14 studio albums!!
Actually ...MTV banned this video....becoz they think it was too much for them......eventually the video becomes one of the ICONIC VIDEOS OF ALL TIME IN THE POP HISTORY...no one can repeat that of what she did in music HISTORY....she may not be the great vocalist...but what she contributed in the music industry made her an ICON...!!!
Actually, the LIKE A PRAYER video was never banned.
You must be thinking about the PEPSI commercial Madonna did to launch her new album. That commercial aired prior to the release of the official video. Then when the Like A Prayer video premiered, it caused such a controversy among religious groups, that PEPSI decided to pulled the commercial. However, MTV continue playing the video.
Great Reaction Guys - so much fun.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
I honestly watched this just for the Elaine comment 😂
Classic song
Such a great and deep reaction for a masterpiece song which is one of the ones that made 80s the 80s. This great reaction for this masterpiece will never be duplicated 😂😂 By the way Madonna and Patrick Leonard wrote and produced this song, the lyrics written entirely by Madonna as almost always. Noone else had a hand on writing this song.
Only her.
8:35 now that you mention it, have we ever seen Madonna and Julia Louis-Dreyfus together?
Madonna week 2: Open Your Heart, Secret, Ray of Light,hung Up, Superbowl Halftime show
That cool guitar riff you hear at the beginning of the song... that is Prince.
Also, they did one song together called Love Song included in the Like A Prayer album.
You guys are spot on. Love your reaction to this masterpiece song.
FROZEN next please! Talk about transforming herself.
Looks like a Madonna Wee 2 is warranted,,,,,,,,and overdue.
I see it was mentioned she had a Pepsi deal for over 2 million dollars for this song in their commercial. It aired a couple times, then this video was released and the Pepsi contract was cancelled.
5 million and they pulled the ad after one day/airing.
Prince!!!!
🤩😍❤️
Week 2
5) Secret
4) Justify My Love
3) Music
2) Hung Up
1) Frozen
React to La isla bonita, Erotica, Hung Up, Secret, Frozen
It has long been alleged that it is Prince playing the guitar sample at the beginning of the video, but it didn’t appear on the album. This was frighteningly polarising in 1989. Religious groups went crazy which pushed the Vatican at the time to condemn it as it contained burning of the cross and the depiction of a black Jesus. Madonna lost a multi million dollar Pepsi deal over it. I It was directed by the incredible Mary Lambert.
Lenny Kravitz was the guitar

Get it fellas! We all do with this one.
There's also an TV ad version "Pepsi Version" of this video.
Pepsi cancelled her contract after she released the main one, wonder why 😊.
Life is a mistery?
The live version during her Blonde Ambition Tour is outstanding!
This video was sooooo controversial in the 80s!🎉
i think she had that color of hair becouse she wanted to look on christ mother. this song pissed pope so much back in time :)
I remember this in real time?.. this video was so controversial .OMG
Do Frozen! 👌🏼
Into the Groove was good.
Justify My Love
Bedtime Story
Rain
4 Minutes
Express Yourself
Interesting Madonna videos to react to:
Deeper and Deeper
Bedtime Story
Frozen
God Control
American Life (original version)
Legendary I might be gay but Madonna was smoking hot in 1989, such a great video.
Madonna who is referred to as the queen of pop. Like a prayer in my opinion is her most iconic song. Prince did not write the song. Prince did the guitar riff. Madonna and Patrick Leonard wrote the song.
The next 5 most iconic songs of Madonna and there are many would be
1. Papa Don’t Preach
2. La Isla bonita
3. Express Yourself
4. Justify my love
5. Frozen
Seriously guys you need to do about 5 weeks of these top 5’s to cover all the Madonna classics
Remember this is a women who has scored 49 top 40 hits, 38 top 10 hits, 28 top 5 hits and 12 no.1 singles.
Madonna was a hit making machine worldwide from 1984 to 2008!! No other solo artist imo comes close to releasing hit songs for 25 years straight!!
Hey, but that was 80s Madonna's songs...you should do also 90s o 2000s Madonna's songs! the 80s were only the beginning of all! ;)
Madonna Week! #2
#5 Burning Up
#4 Secret
#3 Girl Gone Wild
#2 Hung Up
#1 Rain
hello, the beginning of this song is played by prince. inside the album there is a duet between madonna and prince love song. i would like to see you react to these videos of madonna , frozen , hung up ,la isla bonita, i rise, and finally a beautiful version of paradise not for me live from confession tour. please tank you
When is Mariah week number 2?
I'm sorry but I'm super into Joe right now. He seems to hit all the parts of the music that I'm into. I just want to say listen to more Madonna listen to more Vanessa Carlton listen to Kate Bush and listen Tori most. Sonically I feel you'll have a mind explosion
It was like the George Floyd case but 30 years before
I think one of the earlier comments on this thread is unfair in accusing you of not realising the significance of the impact this video had on society in 1989, because you weren't around then.
It is obvious that you have real joy in the song, and remember it from childhood, and it is after all one of those few songs from this era which completely transcends the time it was released. Even its sound is not pinnable down to the late 80s; it's a true accomplishment.
It is hard, however, to express the impact that this video had at the time when big artists like Madonna sort of released videos to the entire nation (and the world) as premieres on TV. The depiction of a black saint or black Jesus figure, the correlation of that figure with a falsely accused, innocent black man who is helping a female victim of assault and who then gets framed for the crime, the fact that Madonna kisses this person in the video, the burning crosses... it was all just so unacceptable and shocking to so many people in America (and in the Vatican). She lost her Pepsi endorsement deal as a sole result of this video. But she also earned the respect of people in the future, if you see what I mean. The way that this is so ahead of its time is still unbelievable to me.
I was 12 when it came out and I remember not understanding what was supposed to be wrong with it! I get it now.
The music videos of Michael Jackson, Madonna's peer at this time, are rightly praised for being ahead of its time in terms of technical process and the sheer extraordinariness of his performance, but this video, is ahead of its time in its entire concept. Unlike MJ, she has never got enough credit for it. She has never got enough credit for anything. We are so lucky that she is still around and creating music.
Your videos this week have been lots of fun.
✨✨✨🫸🫷✨✨✨
my flawless top 5 because any madonna is good madonna
1. Hung Up
2. Frozen
3. Music
4. 4 Minutes
5. Erotica
6. Doseen't really matter
just lump this on with frozen its okay we'll forgive yall
he was black jesus
Our dream Madonna reaction would be : justify my love, Erotica, deeper and deeper, bad girl and Fever ( live from the girlie show )
She lost her deal with Pepsi because of this video.
Ok, you two didn’t seem to catch the political & societal impact this video had in 1989, the video depicts racial injustice and profiling, in a time when no other stars were willing to put their careers on the line, to bring awareness.
That’s bridge. Ugh.
WHERE IS LADY GAGA WEEEEEEEEEK???
Please NO
