[wraith]

This video still gives me chills, it is too ******* good. No one has managed to touch this level since I fear.

And yet Hung Up peaked just at #7 while reaching #1 all over the world...

Confessions debut Number 1 on Billboard. Also like her biggest domestic tour and her best selling album of that decade in America.

Music sold more. And Sticky & Sweet was a bigger tour.

Omg I had forgotten about the end when it showed the clips of children and soldiers getting killed during the war and the crowd applauding it like it was a good thing. This is why this era is still my favorite Madonna era.

a STATEMENT

To think her career never truly recovered from this in the USA 

 

These fake AI upscallings are so bad that it hurts my eyes. Seriously...wtf. The way they so proudly just write "4k" in there 

It’s a 20 year old video. I don’t think Warner is gonna spend that much money and time to upscale it frame by frame. 

[Venice B]

this video changed lives

They are doing these horrible upscalling to every video though. even the hits.

Didn't know Jonas Åkerlund directed this

Too ahead of her time for real. Got chills and teary eyed while watching again. Glad to finally have this officially out. The way this still is as relevant as ever is... Only the queen of pop

[XtinaStripped]

FINALLY. She should’ve released it back then.

[Uncatena]

iconic. period.

[collin]

Best pop video EVER.

[ArtForFreedom]

avant garde brilliance 

[JayG]

Legendary. LEGENDARY.

 

[Kirby Kirbs]

This video isn't something you can just forget. The final war section is still so unnerving and disturbing.

And this is why no one in pop music does it like Madonna. What a moment.

 

[brenda-walsh]

i love this video so much, if only the song was as good 

[MoonGoodandHappy]

 

Finally 

 

[mrmarrero]

did i miss something? this was the video i always watched on tv, then i saw the flags one

[bestfiction]

One of the most important music videos ever. Truly a statement

[bigboss]

I was obsessed with this song and the tacky flag version of the video as a teen, converted me from a casual fan to an obsessive stan.

 

So nice to have the uncensored version of this video. One of her best.

[AvadaKedavra]

As someone from the developing world this is how i feel sometimes about Americans and Rich Countries  
Everyone havin fun and lookin for the next cool thing to buy and glam meanwhile we burn in violence and fire and poverty 
Specially when i see people in their comfortable bubbles simpin for dictators and authoritarians in our countries.
