Posted November 17, 201113 yr http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/dc/MadonnaJustify.jpg/220px-MadonnaJustify.jpg Justify My Love was the lead single from Madonna's first greatest hits album The Immaculate Collection. It's probably best memorable for it's music video because it caused international controversy due it to being sexually explicit and was even banned by MTV. A negative was turned into a positive when Madonna defended the video on abc's Nightline (it was the highest rated episode of 1990). The video was released on vhs and became the biggest selling music video of all time, it sold over 400,000 copies in the US in just one week. In Europe the video included Madonna's 1990 performance of Vogue at the Mtv awards. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2a/Madonna-justifymyloveukvideo.jpg/220px-Madonna-justifymyloveukvideo.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/af/Jml-pic_021.jpg/205px-Jml-pic_021.jpg Written by Lenny Kravitz with some lyrics from Madonna and Ingrid Chavez. The song became Madonna's ninth #1 single in America and yet another Canadian #1 single. Madonna has only performed the song on the 1993 Girlie Show World Tour. Making fun of all the commotion Madonna did a self-parody on Saturday Night Live with Mike Myers on a Wayne's World sketch. The Beast Within Mix even caused criticism from rabbis as Madonna was reading passages from the book of revelations. (Most fans refer to this just as the beast within and not as a mix). The Best Within was used as an interlude on the Girlie Show & the start of the Re - Invention and was released live on the I'm Going To Tell You A Secret cd. Official Versions: Justify My Love - Album Version Justify My Love - Q-Sound Mix Justify My Love - Orbit 12" Mix Justify My Love - William Orbit Mix Justify My Love - Hip Hop Mix Justify My Love - The Beast Within Mix Was Justify My Love to much for you ? How do you rate it ?.
November 17, 201113 yr Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Worse Madonna song EVER. Awful video. The only good thing about it was that her hair looked nice in the video.
November 17, 201113 yr Author I really love this song, I love naughty Madonna, I think this needs to be on the next tour, tho like Erotica I'm sure she would tone it down.
November 17, 201113 yr I'm not a fan either. I wouldn't go as far as hating it but it really does nothing for me, definitely down there with her worst singles :(
November 17, 201113 yr Author Do you guys not like it as much because it's more spoken word than singing?.
November 17, 201113 yr That's one of the reasons, yes. Everything about it is too extreme for me. I wouldn't mind it being about sex and that, but if she was actually singing, not just talking in a sexual voice! :P
November 17, 201113 yr Do you guys not like it as much because it's more spoken word than singing?. Yeah probably, because I'm not too keen on Erotica either.
November 17, 201113 yr I don't really like Erotica either, but I like the "Give it up, do as I say. Give it up and let me have my way..." bit and so on and the chorus, because it's used in a fantatsic megamix! :wub:
November 19, 201113 yr ground breaking video If you look at female behaviour / performances now days this video was the start!
November 20, 201113 yr Justify my love is the kinda video that Lady Gaga would be making now if it hadn't been done back in 1990. Very controversial in its day and great, I love the beat personally quite hypnotic and unlike anything in the charts at the time, suppose you had to be there?!
