JUST A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST NIGHT'S 'REBEL HEART TOUR' IN NYC

I had AH-MAH-ZING seats for last night's Rebel Heart Tour at Madison Square Garden here in NYC (thanks to my brilliant Hubby) and had to take a few short videos (pics to come) of the show. Here are some of my favorite moments caught for you. The show was absolutely sensational and my fave Madge concert since The Confessions Tour. She really doesn't slow down, people!!!! She even sang some songs she hasn't done is ages like True Blue, Who's That Girl, Love Don't Live Here Anymore and Dress You Up. It was so exciting to be so close to the woman I have loved and idolized since I was a kid. Here is the amazing Madonna at MSG.

MADONNA FRIDAY: BECAUSE I'M SEEING HER NEXT WEEK, ALL 'REBEL HEART' VIDEOS SO FAR

I'M SEEING MADONNA IN CONCERT NEXT WEEK. AND AMY FUCKING SCHUMER IS OPENING FOR HER!!!!! I can't. I simply CANNOT!!!! Anyway, in celebration of that fact, here are the three videos Madge has released from her amazing Rebel Heart album all in one place for you to fap to for the rest of the day. I am so excited about this concert I could kill everyone in my office. But I won't. Enjoy. Happy Madonna Friday!

MADONNA FRIDAY: PAPA DON'T PREACH

In the very beginning Madonna was the ragamuffin girl with the bow in her hair, the piles of bright makeup and the torn tights. Much to the surprise of everyone in the music industry, Madonna did the very first of her MAJOR image changes when she popped up on screen with a pixie haircut and a very lean physique in the summer of 1986.  Papa Don't Preach was the first official single from her smash hit album True Blue (Live to Tell was out before the album as a track from the film At Close Range). The song caused controversy for it's "keeping my baby" stance and, for the first time, parents were praising Madonna for a pro-life message, while some women's organizations condemned Madonna for encouraging teen pregnancy. It's a story in a song! Madonna told the New York Times, "Papa Don't Preach is a message song that everyone is going to take the wrong way. Immediately they're going to say I am advising every young girl to go out and get pregnant. When I first heard the song, I thought it was silly. But then I thought, wait a minute, this song is really about a girl who is making a decision in her life. She has a very close relationship with her father and wants to maintain that closeness. To me it's a celebration of life. It says, 'I love you, father, and I love this man and this child that is growing inside me'. Of course, who knows how it will end? But at least it starts off positive." The song reached #1 on the Hot 100, becoming Madonna's fourth song to top the charts. The song, along with the music video, are among Madonna's most memorable and important. Truly a classic by any standards, here is Madonna's giant hit from the summer of 1986, Papa Don't Preach

MADONNA FRIDAY: JUMP

First of all, I must preface this by saying this is my fave Madonna song of all time.... and that is not easy for me to pick, girl! Jump was the fourth and final single released from Madge's Confessions on a Dance Floor album on October 31, 2006. Time flies. Written by Stuart Price and Joe Henry (who is Madonna's brother-in-law, by the way), the song is about empowerment and, in line with the rest of the album, has an amazing upbeat, clubby vibe to it. Jump was often compared to Madonna's big, danceable 80s hits. It became her 37th No. 1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart and her 7th No. 1 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart (the one that REALLY matters), #1 on the Hot Dance Airplay chart and was also a highlight of the Confessions tour with the dancers jumping off platforms and swinging through an aparatus set up in the middle of the stage. I absolutely worship this song. I cannot gym without it. Enjoy the jaunty, lively video for Jump and I dare you not to shake your ass to it. I DARE YOU!

MADONNA FRIDAY: MADONNA'S #1 SINGLE FROM THIS WEEK IN 1992 WAS....

.....This Used To Be My Playground. Madonna scored a role in the 1992 Penny Marhsall movie A League of Their Own starring Geena Davis and it turned out to be one of her best performances. The film was a huge hit and Madonna's song that she recorded for the soundtrack hit #1 on the Hot 100 on August 8, 1992 and held the position for one week. This Used To Be My Playground is a beautiful ballad written by Madonna and Shep Pettibone during their Erotica sessions specifically for the film. It's one of Madonna's most loved and recognized ballads. Here is the #1 song from this week in 1992, This Used To Be My Playground. Enjoy! Happy Madonna Friday!

MADONNA FRIDAY: MADONNA MASH-UP WITH LANA DEL REY: FROZEN COAST

Madonna has had influence on many artists. I am not sure if Lana Del Rey counts Madge as an inspiration (although most female artists do), but this mash-up of Frozen and Lana's West Coast is dreamy AF!! They fit together so perfectly and their moods strangely meld to make a mesmerizing track. I would say that Lana's last album Ultraviolence does have just a tinge of Ray of Light in it's sound and general feel, so this makes sense. Now if only these two would record a song together!! Until then, here is your Madonna Friday offering, Frozen Coast. [source]

MADONNA FRIDAY: BEDTIME STORY

An inkling of what was to come from her Ray of Light album three years later, Madonna released Bedtime Story as the third single form her Bedtime Stories album and introduced the world to her electronic music glory. Co-written by Nellee Hooper, Marius De Vries and Bjork, Bedtime Story is an electro-ballad with hints of acid, house and ambient music tied in. The trippy, fantastic video, directed by music video auteur Mark Romanek, only upped the ante of it's Bjork-ishness and made for one of the most visually stunning works of Madonna's career. Though it just missed the top 40 in the US (#42), it was a top 10 hit in the UK and other territories and foreshadowed Madonna's massive Ray of Light incarnation that would catapult her back into critical and commercial success. It is most definitely one of the most unique singles of Madonna's career. Here is the trip-hop gem Bedtime Story. Happy Madonna Friday!

MADONNA FRIDAY: GAMBLER

The oft forgotten OTHER song from the Vision Quest Soundtrack, Gambler, was the second single released from the movie by Madonna after Crazy for You. The song was never released as a single in the US (BASTARDS!!), but the video was released to MTV to promote the film and Madonna performed it on her Virgin Tour, which is the first video I included in this post. Gambler was written by Madonna herself and produced by John "Jellybean" Benitez, her frequent collaborator and off-and-on boyfriend at that time. The song WAS released in other countries and became a top 10 hit in the UK (#4), Australia (#10), Ireland (#3) and Italy (#3) and other territories. Why wasn't Gambler released in the US at the height of the Madonna mania you ask? Well, Madonna was under contract with Warner's Sire label and the soundtrack was under Geffen records. While Crazy for You was allowed to be released by Sire, they asked that Gambler be held back in the US so as not to interfere with singles from her then-current Like a Virgin album. And that, my friends, is how the music industry works sometimes. I know I listened to the shiz out of this song on my little cassette player. Anyway, here is a forgotten classic by the one and only Madonna, Gambler. Enjoy your Madonna Friday!

HUMPDAY SEXY SONG: I WANT YOU - MADONNA (FT. MASSIVE ATTACK)

Madonna was approached by Massive Attack to record a cover of the Marvin Gaye classic I Want You for the Gaye tribute album Inner City Blues at the suggestion of producer Nellee Hooper who had just worked with Madonna on her Bedtime Stories album. Madonna recorded her vocals in New York and Massive Attack produced the song. Originally intended to be released as a single, Motown, Gaye's label, and Madonna's record label could not come to an agreement, so I Want You was never officially released as a single. It did, however, appear on Madonna's compilation album Something To Remember and the video she made for it, inspired by the Dorothy Parker story A Telephone Call, was played heavily on VH1 and MTV. A lush, orchestrated version appears on Something To Remember as well as this absolutely gorgeous, trip-hop version. This is truly one of Madonna's sexiest, best vocal performances IMO. Here is I Want You. Hump a Gaye.

MADONNA FRIDAY: 5 MORE VIDEOS THAT MADE MADONNA A GAY ICON

Last week I gave you five videos that, IMO, helped make Madonna THE gay icon of a generation. Here are five more that certainly didn't hurt that effort. It's Pride Weekend here in NYC and you can bet your best bottom that Madonna will be blasting from video screens and speakers all around the City. From her dance moves to her outfits, Madonna slays her gays with every move. Enjoy these five videos and try not to gag too much. HAPPY PRIDE!!

MADONNA FRIDAY: 5 VIDEOS THAT MADE MADONNA A GAY ICON

Since Pride Month is in full swing, I thought I'd make this Madonna Friday even a little gayer. There are countless reasons why Madonna is a gay icon: activism, philanthropy, fashion, music, humor. Perhaps one of the most important is her use of music videos. There is no denying that Madonna is the Queen of Pop and one of the most innovative and provocative artists in the history of music videos. While there are many more that could be added to this list, these are five videos that I have cemented Madonna's place in the hearts of her gay fans. Naked boys, leather play, man servants, fashion and vogue'ing: What more do you want, queen? We'd all still be gay without Madonna, but we wouldn't be as good at it. Watch below and HAPPY PRIDE 2015!!!

OFFICIAL FULL LENGTH VIDEO FOR 'BITCH, I'M MADONNA'

I told you I was going to wait until it was ready and available, y'all!! Ha. Madonna's third single from her amazing Rebel Heart album now has its video, Bitch, I'm Madonna. And she IS Madonna all up in this bitch. Filmed at The Standard in NYC (you know, where Solange beat up Jay-Z), the video is a hazy party blur with cameos by Rita Ora, Chris Rock, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé and more. LOVE IT!!!! Look for her sons Rocco and David dancing their little butts off too. Here it is, Bitch, I'm Madonna. If you haven't bought Rebel Heart yet you are a terrible human being. Fix that.

THE 'BITCH, I'M MADONNA' REMIXES ARE NAILING IT!!

Madonna is bound to have another #1 dance hit on her hands (it'll be her 46th) with new single Bitch, I'm Madonna, so it makes sense that she'd kill it with all the remixes. Here are the eight official remixes to the track featuring Nicki Minaj. Dance and enjoy. The video premiered on Tidal today and, by all accounts, will be available for the rest of us tomorrow. Could be sooner. We'll see!!!

ANOTHER TEASER FOR MADONNA'S 'BITCH, I'M MADONNA' VIDEO

I mean.....Here is another preview for Bitch, I'm Madonna, which apparently premiering this morning. Rumor has it that the video will be released first on Tidal, so no one will see it for a while. OH, SHIT, SON!! I'm sure we'll get the video by the end of the day. Can't wait!

Bitches its coming Tomorrow!! Can't mess with this lucky star!!!! 😜🔛👻 BitchImMadonna Premiering Wednesday morning!! 💘💘💘💘

MADONNA FRIDAY: LUCKY STAR

"You may be my lucky star, but I'm the luckiest by far" So go the lyrics to the song that initially made me fall head-over-heels in love with Queen Madonna. Although Madonna had already charted with Holiday (#16) and Borderline (#10) in late '83 and early '84 respectively, Lucky Star, the fifth and final single from her debut album, became her first top 5 hit (#4) on the Billboard Hot 100 and showed her sexier, funkier side even more than the two previous tracks. The song was a dance club smash and worldwide hit. Lucky Star has proven to be a fave with Madonna fans (duh!), showing up in most of her concerts to date. The video is also a classic, with Madonna and her two backup dancers (friend Erica Bell and on-again-off-again-evil brother Christopher Ciccone) dressed in black, tattered clothing and dancing against a white backdrop. Simple, but VERY effective in furthering Madonna's image with the public. It's def on of my top Madge tracks of all time. Check out the video for Lucky Star below and "shine your heavenly body tonight".

MADONNA FRIDAY: VIDEO MINI-SERIES - TAKE A BOW AND YOU'LL SEE

Madonna upped the ante with a music video miniseries, if you will, when she decided to make a continuation of her excellent video for Take a Bow. Take a Bow is one of Madonna's biggest chart hits, spending 7 weeks at #1 in February 1995. The video was a lavish production shot in Antequera, Spain. The story revolved around Madonna as a bullfighter's lover who is being ignored. The bullfighter was played by real-life Spanish bullfighter Emilio Munoz. He abuses her emotionally and uses her before eventually abandoning her. WHAT AN ASS!!! You'll See, (#6) released off Madonna's 1995 Something To Remember greatest ballads album, saw the video pick up right where TAB left us. Now Madonna has decided to leave Spain. Her bullfighter lover is feeling remorse and wanting her back. He attempts several times to kill himself over his loss, finally walking into the ocean as Madge's plane flies off overhead. She is fresh out of fucks, y'all! These are both beautiful videos and gorgeous songs. Enjoy Take a Bow and You'll See. Happy Madonna Friday!

MADONNA FRIDAY: DEAR JESSIE

Dear Jessie was the fifth single off of the Like a Prayer album, but it was only released in the UK, Australia, Japan and select European countries. The US did not get an official release, instead getting Keep It Together. By far the most sugary sweet of any Madonna song, Dear Jessie was written by Madonna and frequent callaborator Patrick Leonard, inspired by Leonard's daughter, Jessie. The song is more of a lullaby than a pop song, but the theme of it fit perfectly into the Like a Prayer album, sandwiched between the joyous Cherish and the darker Oh Father, which used the string section at the end of Dear Jessie to seque into its own. The song reached #5 in the UK in the winter of 1990. The video for the song features Madonna only in cartoon form, as a short-haired, Tinkerbell-esque character floating through the room and imagination of a little girl. It's really cute, y'all! Enjoy Dear Jessie and have a great Madonna Friday!

MADONNA FRIDAY: FUTURE LOVERS/I FEEL LOVE FROM THE CONFESSIONS TOUR

My favorite opening number to my favorite concert of all time. Madonna's 2006 Confessions Tour was an absolute feast for the eyes and ears and it opened with a bang. Future Lovers also was a standout track on her amazing Confessions On A Dance Floor album and the perfect song to set the tone for the tour and, as an added bonus, Madge mixes it seamlessly with the classic Donna Summer/Giorgio Moroder track I Feel Love. I Feel Love is the precursor to all modern EDM/dance music that we know and love, so it was a no brainer. The mix is brilliant and her entrance to the stage is something to see. The concert film (available on iTunes HERE and SOOOOOO worth purchasing/renting) actually does a great job capturing the feel of the live show. Check out Future Lovers/I Feel Love below and have a happy Madonna Friday!!!
