MADONNA FRIDAY: TAKE A BOW & 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 ballads album saw the video pick up right where TAB left us. Now Madonna has decided to leave Spain and 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. These are both beautiful videos and gorgeous songs. Enjoy Take a Bow and You'll See.
