Disco de Madonna: “Justify My Love [Single]”

Directed by Jean Baptiste-Mondino, filmed on location at the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris, France. This black-&-white video depicts Madonna as a sexual adventurer, exploring fantasies with men, women, crossdressers, lesbians, homosexuals, and practicing bondage and sadomasochism. MTV banned this video due to explicit sexuality. The song was cowrote/coproduced by Madonna & Lenny Kravitz. Running time: app. 5 min. PARENTAL ADVISORY: THIS VIDEO MAY BE UNSUITABLE FOR VIEWING BY MINORS.

Before the arrival of both Lourdes and Rocco, Madonna was the everyday bad girl that made jaws dropped and established fashion trends. Although she was a vital part of MTV's music video playlist, not even her fame, her connections, nor her money could get that network to air this racy video.

Directed by Jean Baptiste Mondino, "Justify My Love" features Madonna walking the hallways of a Paris hotel, exploring her sexual fantasies with a slew of characters. Lesbians, gay men, sado-masochists, and many other sexually charged individuals are seen cavorting with Madonna and her then boyfriend. While this video seems tame compared to what we see on television nowadays, Madonna's video was a pioneer in opening MTV to the sexual revolution that was propelled with the advent of music videos.

Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, and Ingrid Cesares share the songwriting credits on this album, and the background beat was sampled from a track found on Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet" album. Be advised that this video is not appropriate for children or people who can't tolerate alternative lifestyles.

This video provides the viewer with a hectic view down the gender-bender rabbit hole of the nineties in America. And speaking of holes, Madonna is fantastic in this performance...watching it leaves you smiling the way she smiles during the last seconds of the video while rushing down the hotel halls after her very naughty escapade. Decadent, sordid, experimental and FUN.

A must-have for the Madonna fan (Before the children's books, Pilates and the phoney British persona.)

The remixes on this cd are wonderfeul. The 'Beast Within' mix is my favorite. That remix does have the lyrics which she mentions "jews", which she later cut out from other versions of the song. So, I would say this is a collectors cd.

...this has to be one of madonnas high lites! Lenny Kravitz and Madonna did A wonderfull job with the song and the result is raw,sexy and the most important thing it's a five star song!!!
