I'm the first one to run screaming from a Madonna thread but come on, the bitch has made some good videos y'all

I gave her a compliment w/o gagging!

You gotta hand it to her,Madonna has made more outstanding videos than any other pop artist.


IMHO

How would you compare her videos to Björk's?

CalhounSq said:

I can't even go THAT far. Probably because I've never watched one all the way through.

minneapolisgenius said:

Would watching one with the sound on mute help?

minneapolisgenius said:

If you like Chris Cunningham so much, you should see the video he directed for "Frozen".

sextonseven said:

I've seen most of that one. It's ok. I'm not really much of a video person though. Unless it's really funny, disturbing, or banned I just lose interest.

CalhounSq said:

I was mostly talking about the pictures. She's a fave of mine, and she does make terrific videos.

minneapolisgenius said:

Weren't the videos for "Justify My Love" and "What It Feels Like For A Girl" funny, disturbing and banned?

CalhounSq said:

Everyone one gets pulled into the swirl at some time.

Smooth Criminal~~

Thriller~~
Scream~~
SledgeHammer~~

sextonseven said:

Honestly,I've never seen a Bjork video

sextonseven said:

key word: more

sextonseven said:

Frozen = overrated

sextonseven said:

I don't know. I'm not a Madonna fan.

minneapolisgenius said:

I will answer my own question then. Both videos were banned by MTV. "What It Feels Like For A Girl" was shown only once and "Justify My Love" never aired at all. I guess describing them as funny and disturbing is a matter of opinion. Obviously MTV found them too disturbing/risqué to be shown regularly.

sextonseven said:

I think Justify My Love is pretty funny. The way she trashily, smirking runs down the hall with a suitcase is pretty funny.

Don't forget that we were in the middle of the first Gulf War and Nightline devouted awhole show to JML. the only non-war story during the whole war. Had to have some controversy to do that.

DavidEye said:

You are doing yourself a disservice. Video directors fall over each other to get to direct a video for Björk.

sextonseven said:

Madonna/Bjork:

Both have excellent videos.
I'm amazed that it took so long for someone to borrow imagery from "Dreams Money Can Buy" (surrealist/dadaist film from the 40's). Madonnas "Bedtime Story" comes closest. Frozen and Rain are also great.

DavidEye said:

Bjork must sees:
Human Behavior
Cocoon
All is full of love (one of my top 10...perhaps 5)

Remember the time Michael Jackson

anon said:

Madonna has many videos that look very good, but I think Bjork has more videos that are really innovative/creative/bizarre:

Human Behaviour
Army Of Me
Hyperballad
I Miss You (animated by the 'Ren & Stimpy' crew?)
Joga
Bachelorette (this video was nominated for a grammy at the time I believe)
All Is Full Of Love
Pagan Poetry
Cocoon

All of these should really be seen.

Ah, very very poignant.

I agree,"Justify My Love" has alot of humor in it.It's as if Madonna is making fun of people's conservative views on sex.The fact that it was banned only proves her point.
