🤣😂🤣You have low expectations for masterpieces!

STOP saying 'literally' 😂

@@jesusislife9259 no

Well I agree

@@jesusislife9259 ray of light is easily one of her strongest albums

It was deserved…a fabulous album. ❤

It did win a Grammy for *Best Pop Album* 😊

ROL and Confessions on a Dance Floor, two masterpieces.

This was humble William Orbit's masterpiece. Madonna sang on it. He's an unheralded genius. Check out "Water From A vine Leaf" and "Story Of Light" His creativity and genius knows no bounds kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK6jdbF5yceunYk.html

That's hard to say, because she has so many great albums. But Ray of light is among the best for sure.

My fav is Bedtime Stories

Erotica and bedtime stories are her best

I agree, this is why RoL was my favorite era. She seemed to be at her most humble, human and approachable here. I wish those traits carried on in her later projects!

@@dtnuh Verdade

@@dtnuh that happened because that was the time when she starting attending full time to the Kabbalah center..

@@dtnuh I’m shocked at how human she looks and feels here. Like, she’s a PERSON! I know it’s weird to say, but that’s what I see

i feel in this clip she seems quite the opposite of vulnerable and down to earth..

1997

Not true! When this was recorded people had already started to write her off as a has been. She was not selling albums the way she use to. Ray of light was considered her comeback.

@@user-td6fq7or8d Actually fame wise Madonna was indeed huge in 1997 she had just filmed Evita which gave her a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best song. Madonna hadn't gone anyway her it had been only 2 years since she had a billboard #1 and a top 5 (Take A Bow, Secret) she had gone nowhere to require a "come back" sure she was making a comeback to the recording studio with ROL but let's face it she has always maintained a goddess level of fame albeit her music chart topping years plateaud in the late 80s. Radio has never been kind to Madonna not since the 1980s. But Madonna has NEVER needed a "comeback" she has never stopped working.

@@user-td6fq7or8d Of course she was the most famous woman on the planet. Of course, 15 years into her career she was selling less than at her commercial peak, but she was an icon at this point. The most famous woman in the world besides maybe Hillary Clinton. Not to mention her previous album featured her biggest US hit ever and she'd just won a Golden Globe for Evita. She was still a mega star in 1997.

@@RecoverArt_Ivan Radio was very kind to her in the 90s. "Take a Bow" was her biggest radio hit ever. "I'll Remember" was huge too. They even played the remix of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" to death - it was very clear that whatever she did next was going to be big. And then "Music" was an even bigger hit in 2000.

True Blue/Like a Prayer/Ray of Light/Confessions on a Dance Floor I feel are the quartet everyone will agree came at monumental moments in her life. True Blue proving she could achieve so much more and create a full on ALBUM of material and prove she could have major hits and hit the social narrative/discussion too in her 20s...Like a Prayer shocked the world, it was ambitious and creative post public divorce and in her early 30s she took over the entire world/paved way for Blond Ambition. Ray of Light after mass controversies/healing/having her first child/big wins for Evita at 40 she showcased she could reinvent in a massive creative way which again inspried millions globally in her Drowned World Era and Confessions at nearly 50 she hit another major peak after massive backlash again for her politics/she healed herself (literally after breaking bones) and poured out her soul and created a record breaking hit album/grammy winning and pioneering. Whilst yes I adore many albums of hers inbetween (Bedtime Stories/Erotica/I'm Breathless, Music,American Life, Rebel Heart and Madame X are all top tier stuff) I do feel those 4 will be forever regarded as her opuses for sure

Oh god yes baby! Im gonna blast that on the way to work now

She’s so calm and relax. Kurt always had the best interviews with her.

yes. those 2 albums

@@HenryCLHarries Well said. I agree completely.

We would never find any other Orbit-related album that is anywhere near as splendid as Ray of Light - I guess we know who is the real powerhouse here.

Don't forget Patrick Leonard. He co-wrote half the songs.

​@@CrystalCoffin Water from a Vine Leaf by Orten and Orbit is a sincerity beyond the depths of Madonna's pop nature capabilities.

except she's just a voice and he did all the work

​​@@ForeverRetro31Exactly! Album like True Blue , Like a prayer also,the most best song's in her carrier have his signature.

Well, Prince already did that before her but i'm not trying to undermine the impact of this album, it's still huge

Madonna is a genius.

Yeah, Beatles who?

@@laurisaarinen1126 prince wasn't successful with it though.. MMHMM

And most popular.

She looks stunning here. So natural.

Yes! I was a teenager when she first became popular. I remember the craziness around her, my favorite cd of hers is Ray of Light.

I was

Ha! Thanks - I just had to Google it because I couldn't make it out. Wish I would have seen your comment a couple of minutes earlier, but it wasn't hard to find. I remember this MTV special when it first came out too. As for the album, I instantly loved most of it upon my first listen, some of it took a minute for me to appreciate fully, but it is indeed a masterpiece through and through. I was just getting my first taste of freedom after graduating high school when it came out, so I'm grateful that it always takes me back to a time I remember so fondly.

I make a screenshots yo see the name ❤ thanks

So almost heartbreaking but so true. Sad 😞

I agree although without that same ego (and narcissism?) she probably wouldn't have had such a great, long and influential career.

@@wagu7003 Totally. It's ultimately her ego that has driven her and still does....giving us decades of enjoyment along the way!

When i hear every time the same word underrated. I become really sick.

How can she be underrated when she's the most successful woman ever

@@SPICEUNITE people don't appreciate her as a songwriter/producer they just see her as another pop star

@@SPICEUNITE maybe for the new generations. Compare the views of her videos with Taylor's, Dua Lipa's or Ariana's. Anyway, I love Madonna and she's above of all those girls.

@@SPICEUNITE people attribute her success to scandals and controversy, not to her artistic and creative ability

She reinvents herself like no other. She keeps it interesting. Truth or Dare is one of the best documentaries ever and way ahead of its time.

And now she’s totally lost and completely plastic 😐.

why do you say she is lost? in what way?

@@jmsl910 have you seen her lately? She's very lost.

​@@stevej4328did you see her on stage the other night. Oh my gosh

@@user-wh3vq1qi7x no, what happened?

Lol me too 84 babies ❤❤❤

I was 17...

I was 3

I was 11. I really liked that year and the previous one. The days were so long and I had so many exciting PC games to play.

Same

Its the best

It’s by far her best album

I like Kurt but he was being a bit of a douche throughout this whole segment

Lol Kurt was who I wanted to be and the reason I wanted to move to NYC. Too bad indeed.

Never really cared for Kurt myself...he had a clear bias and was a big ol queeny stan for Madge, and didn't seem to care much for any of her contemporaries.

Agree

I heard that the record labels began charging so much to mtv to license their videos that MTV couldn’t afford it

@@dtnuh He started out as a critic of hers and compared her unfavorably to Cyndi Lauper during both of their debuts. But he later grew to respect her, and when MTV wanted to interview her, he was the one Madonna chose exclusively to be interviewed by until he left or stepped back.

rare I know

Yes!! And Guy was just a hanger on. He went on to great things.

Well, this is the edited version, the original interview aired in 1997 had Madonna recording pieces of Skin, Ray of Light and Little Star, and you could see her there singing and sounding amazing. I have it on VHS

Very true!

And mainly because of Evita.

@@UnTiempoParaRecordarHD she was robbed of an Oscar nomination for Evita. ☹️

Definitely my second favorite

Since the past?

You mean since the 20th century?

singers? More like artist.

@@owain.b3070 Yes.

@@rgrndu Yeah. When she performs the best songs in the late 1980s to the early 1990s before many female singing artists like Katy Perry, Bebe Rexha, or even Kacey Musgraves in the 2000s.

for real! but then multiple ppl working on tracks these days do not need to come all at once in the studio so cool

** thanks auto correct

What? Lol
