Madonna is practically made of money, and in 1989 she was beginning to realize it. She was (is) the queen of everything and was riding the wave of her latest #1 album and single Like a Prayer. Her second single from LAP was the funky, hard-driving smash Express Yourself. Madonna decided to put some of that money to use and make, what was at the time, the most expensive music video EVER, coming in at $5 million (it's still the 3rd most expensive). Directed by David Fincher, the video was a tribute to the silent film Metropolis and featured Madonna as the ruler of an industrial world, using men as her playthings and getting chained up in the process. Hot! The song itself hit #2 on the Hot 100 and opened her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour. A fan favorite and one of Madonna's signature songs, Express Yourself sounds as up-to-date today as it did back then. Check out the video below.Sunday, June 27, 2010

Here's a suggestion... How about turning off all the auto play on the videos. Nothing sucks worse than coming to a page with more than one video playing at one time. Autoplay videos or audio on pages is rude. Let the reader decide if he or she wants to play something. Other than that, great content.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that. Didn't realize the auto-play was on! Fixed!
