Madonna gave vogueing real class. The club footage is great but the Vogue video and live performances of the song are sensational. She is a fabulous dancer, underrated vocalist and her songwriting talents are usually underplayed. Madonna has star quality oozing from every pore in her body. Her dance teachers -including the renowned Pearl Lang - were all mesmerised by her dancing. Her music collaborators confirm her talents as a songwriter and producer. This is reality.

In less than 1 decade solo career, Madonna was already in 1990 the biggest pop artist. M was a legend, a cultura icon, a mith.

The Immaculate Collection sold more copies than any other greatest hits album.

It could never be about a new generation when the queen still owns the throne. Madonna is our generation.

you know the thing i hate the most is that because of her age, madonna's been cast off from the industry and the world. people dont take her seriously anymore. they just say she's an old slut holding on to her youth and thats she's a has been. its not fair and i think she deserves respect as the queen of the music industry

this was broadcasted on a friday night December 7th 1990 on BBC 1

Fantastic documentary - I have had it for years and I watch it every now and then.

QUEEN and UNIQUE!

Gosh Madonna is my Fav singer/performer ever I loved her since I was 10 yo ! She's the best in my eyes and always will be , but I love lady gaga too not as much as Madonna but I like her songs and etc... BUT WAHT PISSES ME OFF IS THAT ON EVERY MADONNA VIDEO I CLICK ON AND WATCH EACH OF THEM HAS PPL TALKING ABOUT GAGA AND COMPARING HER TO MADONNA, LIKE LITTERALLY EVERY VIDEO I'VE SEEN ON MADONNA HAS ATEAST PNE GAGA COMMENT WTF ???

I JUST LOVE MADONNA...

but madonna plays guitar and drums as well as singing, and she's co wrote and co produced the majority of her songs

Queen FOREVER!

TO ALL YOU HATERS MADONNA IS SMART AND A GREAT BUSINESSWOMAN AND KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS !

@Shakeshack78 Madonna did it without Facebook, Twitter, the internet.

Madonna,never ever,did a confuced statement. People posing as Madonna's experts,do.

I will be rich like her very soon

@Shakeshack78 and hopefully she'll grow with her fans as Madonna did. I think she can do it, she's already toning it down sometimes so we'll see. Very excited to see what the next album will be like.

Lady Gaga is Eve Harrington to Madonna's Margo Channing.

@Messylin Wrong... Madonna is Madonna Gaga is Stefanie

@Lonsterlmfu - Gaga shouldn't worry about her music having heart. She can always put her Grammy where her heart ought to be.

@Messylin LOL.....excellent analogy.

Just a tiny remark - Vogue was NOT celebrated by Madonna (commercially speaking maybe yes) but before her there was Malcolm McLaren who did "Deep In Vogue" with the dancers ("Waltz Darling" anyone?).

@Quelquefois1793 Right. That is exactly right. Can't argue with you there. I don't consider myself a "lil monster" but I am a fan of GaGa, she's my age, and I have respect for what Madonna has done, I just don't see why there is this huge rif between the fans. Two different generations, two different artists. GaGa has done some Madonna-eske music/performances, but she has also givin the same homage to DOZENS and dozens of other artists. Madge fans clearly just don't get it.

There's Only One Queen and That's Madonna! ;-)

@Lonsterlmfu Madonna is a cultural icon, this documentary is 20 years old. I cant recall people talking about gaga in the way they talked about madonna back then. like you said you are of the gaga generation, and to be fair the impact that gaga has had is nothing compared to madonna, its not even close.

@IconicCulture I remember madonna being called queen of pop in 84 when into the groove got to number 1 (in the uk) and from then she went on to become the biggest pop star of the eighties, by 1990 she had overtaken Prince, Michael Jackson, and to this day remains the only one who is alive, healthy and has a career

@IconicCulture I'm not clueless. If u read all of my posts u would see that. Madonna played a few instruments, did she ever play them on stage? Blonde Ambition tour? NO. I don't care, she wz great in her day. That's obvious, I'm simply trying to make the point that people who say Madonna is way better than GaGa & GaGa sucks because Madonna wz first, I just personally find that erroneous. It is 25 years later. It's just a simple point I'm trying to make. Both great in their own right.

@Lonsterlmfu I get it.I have been a huge Madonna fan for over 25 years. Her music is the soundtrack of my teens and 20's and beyond. The generations are at odds, true. But I realize that Gaga is a huge talent. My only problem with her is that she's not moving forward image wise. In her mid 30's and on she can't keep going around like she is now. Fans (even me) grow up and move on in life. That's something that Madonna is an expert in. Gaga has talent but is more focused on her image

@SuperSimonuk Well how could that possibly matter to any of us who are younger and missed the Madonna thing? If you look at the industry and you look at All GaGa's contemporaries you'll find that they have raised their game since GaGa has come out. She raised the bar and there is no denying it. I'm sure M had a big impact back in the dinosaur days but that is irrelevant to the kids buying up records today, we shouldn't compare the two because it's apples 2 oranges two totally different eras

@Lonsterlmfu The thing is times do change, however with gaga nothing has changed, she is just producing music that is similar to what madonna did 20 years ago....how can gaga be considered "new" or "fresh" when what she is doing is basically a tribute act? Is 80s retro now avant garde?

@IconicCulture and yes I would have trouble recalling that because I was born in 1986 so that may be another reason I think it's crazy that Madonna fans get so nutty. They don't think about the fact that it's a NEW GENERATION. New generations need new artist. Why is that so damn offensive???????????????

I think that was Ivana Trump...good try though with Patsy!

that was good. :)

Incomplete =(

@fayedunaway1 Although madonna doesnt just create art is art, whilst gaga goes on about how she loves warhol, andy warhol actually went to madonnas wedding, and as for sexy, i dont think madonna was being sexy, but rather sexual, which is different. She owns her sexuality,and she was and is proud of it. problem with americans is they think sex is something to be ashamed of or that its dirty, its not its natural

@dirty06maggot Madonna isn't immortal why not embrace both and respect both? Gaga is just as phenomenal as Madonna, plus she's broke a shit load of her sales records already and she's only about to release her 3rd album. So all you GaGa haters are blind. I love them both and I find all the hatred very unecessary. It's not 1986 anymore, it's almost 2012. Times are ever changing ....old timer.

YES!! don't go forget is your 2nd best baby!! put you love to the test!! so this way's everytime's workings be she's living's too do it's !! Madonna!! I loving so muhc a Madonna!! wake up so times every times & a every day's in my soul living a Madonna!!ok? oh!! so sorry? I'm a japanese...so was a sutouking's ..times there in my hed in my heart very very many have a dreams die..But now on times I lovings too Madonna!! I wanna see Madonna!!it'S only one thing....take it's 4 me..

i dont feel like seeing who follows Lady baba...

Madonna driving her car on her tours outfits???? haha.....she never did that.

@dirty06maggot I'm not a troll, I just happen to have a job tht allows me 2 be on the computer all day as I have to do a lot of research. Hey at least I'm getting paid. I get alerted whn people comment back so I keep feeling the need to defend myself. Purely 4 personal entertainment purposes. I like Madonna, I NEVER said I didn't it's just that she's old & was at the top of her game when I wz a baby. People have to understand that it's a whole new generation now & the comparisons unnecessary

@Lonsterlmfu Gagas contemporaries are no different, they too are basically copying Madonna in various forms, Madonna's career is the template they all build their careers on.

Lol, you couldn't be more correct! :)

brilliant and i dont think ga ga will outsell her shes to weird to last a long term

I really hate 2 say this but madonna is the queen im a huge!!!! little monster lady gaga is not the new madonna gaga is gaga and madonna is madonna idk why people keep saying all this crap about gaga and madonna

@SuperSimonuk Okay I think you should start looking into Madonna's inspirations and what influenced her. Everything comes from some other place~ TRUTH.

lol...nice lip injections in the b/w interview footage

@Lonsterlmfu no more nutty than those little monsters get whenever anyone criticizes gaga!

Sex sells, the industry knows this. GaGa even has said time after time, that she would perform and no one shut up or paid attention till she took her clothes off. lol

People have to understand it's a whole new generation who like someone who copying Madonna. Why do people have to understand anything, Why can't they think for themselves instead of trying to understand thing from perspective that is being sold to you. But you can't see it, people have to understand that it is a new generation. sheep. in the herd.

@Lonsterlmfu What I find ironic about your statement is Madonna was declared Queen of Pop in 1986. I'm sure you would have trouble recalling 1983-1986, no? You wouldn't be able to recall anything pass 1990. LMFAO. Madonna also played the guitar and drums in 2 different bands before going solo in NY. Maybe if you knew what the hell you were talking about in the first place, we wouldn't be so annoyed by your hyperbole. I like Gaga I love her music, but I can't stand some of her fans. Clueless.

@Lonsterlmfu it was a bit funny,yes?

@lvmykids1 Okay....yes...... lol ;)

@lvmykids1 oh you're sense of humor is even old. LMFAO

its funny how when people run out of talent they rely on imitating sex acts for attention.

@fayedunaway1 So wrong. ahahaha Soooo wrong.

@Lonsterlmfu right noe Jesus would be about 2000 yrs old, why? hahahaha

The eco of her are all the Madonna wannabees pop girls that came out after Madonna

@divorceeksce madonna > lady gaga
