  • This song is awesome. I feel she was right on target because its hard being a girl and even more hell being a woman...kudos Madonna!!!!

  • very raw i love it.

  • The thread under this video is a fine example of how one troll, just one, can come along and ruin it for everybody - or, at least try to. I have decided 2012 is the year we sensible people no longer put up with the trolls who insist on showing up to suck the life out of those just here to have a good time. If these kids can't communicate with dignity, manners and self-respect then they need to be ignored or told that their malarky isn't wanted here. One troll wrecked this thread. LOL

  • @FredeicaBambina I was raised by liars, pedophiles the worst of the worst and its slowly killing me. I can feel it. Jesus died at 33 and I think I will too :(

  • I like the glee version :D

  • my milf

    

  • We want this song to be played in Madonna's next tour please!

  • it explains why gay men are discriminated against - boys that look like girls....

  • The only super gripping part of the song is the 14 year old Charlotte Gainsbourg monologue that proceeds it. "But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading."

  • Bc you think that being a girl is degrading. No matter what a woman will never be equal to man

  • @ppereida and a man will never be euqal to a woman.

  • @ppereida - That's right and why would they ever want to be? Women don't need to degrade men to feel better about themselves. They are already 'good enough' without having to put down a whole sex to 'build themselves up.' You drank the koolaid, my friend. You bought it, hook, line and sinker. So, now then, what do YOU have to really offer the world? You're a human first, honey and there will come a time when 'having a penis' won't get you a free ride in life. Shame on the adults in your life.

  • this song is so good. it makes me wanna cry..

  • This song reminds me of everything my grandmother went through. She had a very rough and amazing life. I wish one day to sing this for her!

  • Madonna you will always be the Queen

    ICON

  • Gorgeous pop song. Love the chorus!

  • Long live to the queen of pop for eternity.

    Girls and LGBT community loves you Madonna.

  • 0:01

  • Excellent lyrics!!!

  • Every woman/girl can relate to this song! The lyrics are touching in a way that only a woman could really understand!

  • At the time, this was the only song I really LOVED from "Music" and I was so mad she used that remix for the video. This version is so beautiful and it's one of my favorite songs ever. Love the feel of it and the spoken intro.

  • @Spyder246 Totally agree, this original version is so much stronger than the remix but I remember seeing the video with this version. I think if it had been the remix I heard 1st I'd of never liked this song.

  • I love how the top comments are about gay people and how Gaga is trash, considering Lady Gaga is considered Queen of the LGBTQ community for a lot of people.

  • I think it's an awesome song, Madonna is great!, she is the real pop queen, not Lady gaga, she copies everything madonna did before, she is not original, she's only a freek. I think madonna is and will be the best pop singer, her lyrics are interesting, sticky and fun, besides she has a strong personality, i admire her very much!. :)

  • goosebumps!!! >_<

  • @Alexfig28 lol ok.

  • She makes alot of sense in this song

  • I adore this album!!!

  • This is a beautiful nostalgic song, and as much as I loved the energy of the released single, i desperately wish she used the original recording for the video.....

  • @BlushResponse1 Totally agree. This is an unique song.One of the most moving ballad Madonna has ever sung. She could have used a remix version for Music, Don't Tell Me videos but NEVER for this beautiful tune. btw, I do like the remix video version, but nothing compares to this one.

  • This version of the song is excellent! Is this the original album version or a remix? And if its a remix, which remix is it?

  • @logan48227 its the original version

  • @britneyzblackout Thanks! I appreciate it.

  • If it wasn't for my mom, I would've never known about this amazing song. =D

  • u r the best¡¡¡¡

  • She just new exactly what to say. She's fantastic <3

  • Lookit....if you can't get the whole song on here, dont bother, its just a tease and you look like an asshole. Just saying.

  • @killbill2241 but you're not saying, you are typing, you look like the asshole. just typing.

  • @dwalls94112 Great, you just pointed out what we all already know. Thank you for your useless contribution.

  • thanks for the upload of the good version :D

  • Madonna's voice is so soothing on this song. Its about female empowerment but you don't have to be a woman to know this is a good song.

  • As far as albums with number of great songs, this is one of the best of all time on my list. Seriously, it has as many great songs that are about as good as anything on Abbey Road, Fly by Night, Zeppelin II, Blizzard of Ozz. Different music, yes, but just as awesome.

  • @victoriouscalling trash? trash its your mother .l.

  • @Alexfig26 ABSOLUTELY! HAHA I LOVE GAGA AND MADONNA AND I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT STAN-WARS, THEY ARE FOR PEOPLE WITH NO LIVES.

  • @victoriouscalling Gaga and madonna are BOTH awesome

  • @MsOtaku26 Madonna is awesome, i agree.

  • @victoriouscalling gaga actually isn't trash. just because she has a different style and is an indivual does not make her 'trash' she is a lovely girl with allot of heart. She actually has a great voice, just because she doesn't reach up to 'Madonna's' standard...which obviously isn't good enough for YOU, doesn't mean shes trash.

  • God this brings back memories of when my mom played this for me as a child i'm 16 now :')

  • Utterly awful remix on the video :S

  • @greenhoof94

    I liked the remix

  • this the remix i was looking for! this is so much better... thanks

  • Naze

  • @Photoshopeiroh this is a good song. this song is not garbage. so stop being a hater!!!!! an i don't see you a** doing any songs....

  • This is so different from the Video version!!

    I can't believe she released that garbage as a single!!!

  • @Photoshopeiroh You are a complete and total douche hogg!!!!!!!!!!

  • @chychylovesyou114 @yugnomra I didn't say I hate this song...

    I said I hate the song they put on the video!! It's a horrible remix!

    I was actually "OMG this version is so much better, why didn't they use this instead?!"

  • I like this slower version much better......

  • In the mood for a little Madonna today. :)

  • This sing was part of the last album I liked from Madonna.

  • Lmao at the comments below. It's scary to think that not even 100 years ago people with such stupidly aggressive attitudes like them used to actually have positions in power. Thankfully they are now regulated to spouting hilarious rubbish on youtube from their mother's basements. However, never forget that these idiots are just waiting for the right moment to jump back out and make everyone's lives hell again. Don't give them the chance: love your life and everyone else's, it's all we've got.

  • @lolity3 - Very well said and I like your style. That's a brilliant way to look at these clowns - who are most likely kids or at best, teenagers. Let's not forget that there are still people like them in power and they are busy making laws. Eventually, these lesser types will die out and the human race will just keep on evolving and one day, men will have self respect for what they have to offer instead of thinking that by putting others down, they're somehow building themselves up.

  • love the glee version!

  • usaBlackelitist is my xboxlive tag everybody,come get raped.

  • I love you Madonna,ever since I was a little boy i wanted to marry you.

  • I discovered this song when I was 10, and first discovering Madonna and all that is good music. I remember sitting on my bed, staring at the boombox, and feeling, for the first time, empowered. Empowered to be... a girl. Empowered to be me. I'm 17 now, and I still get that wave of empowerment when I listen to this song. Thanks for everything, Madge.

  • Beautiful track!!!!

  • You'd be hard-pressed to find the best Madonna song as they're all so damn good....

  • When women speak weakly to me it actually works,especially when I'm angry about a cop,or some deal gone wrong.I go to a store pissed off and speak grumpy to a woman cashier or attendant then she speaks softly and weak. The angrier I get the more softly she speaks,then i feel better and smile,or leave angry then feel sad about being rude to her. I love women who know their role.

  • @WestcoastMusicals man or woman anyone would be freaked out thus soft spoken if someone was going off in their face you dickhead

  • @liliana93 Watch that tone of voice...woman

  • @WestcoastMusicals What's your problem with women anyway? Were you raised in a bad environment or something?

  • @rachg01 I love women what are you talking about...woman. : 0

  • @WestcoastMusicals You keep on saying "woman" at the end of your sentences ... are you trying to imply something? Because trying to act all superior by using that word isn't working. You don't even realise how disrespectful you are being.

  • @rachg01 I don't even know you rachel,be quiet. We all know that men are superior and that it's a man's world,but I love my beautiful obedient women.

  • @rachg01 - I know you wrote your comment 6 months ago but I just wanted to say, that guy you were conversing with and he was 'arguing' is just a 'troll' and he's most likely about 12. There's alot of them on here. Energy vampires who try to suck the life out of the rest of us and try to ruin our good time. Don't let them do it. Just vote their comment down and if enough people vote, eventualy their comment is hidden. Life will teach simpletons like that soon enough. LOL

  • @WestcoastMusicals Fuck you

  • @snailsrcrusty only if you're a woman...a hot woman.

  • @WestcoastMusicals How about we exchange addresses and you can say all this little petty crap your writing on the internet and say it to my face? Stop being a little punk and stop writing comments you wouldn't say in to some ones face. I feel sorry for your father. Your only making yourself look even more ignorant. No one has agreed with you, lets just face it, women are rising, lets compare what ever area your living in to 2011, today. It drives you crazy doesn't it?

  • Comment removed

  • @joanriverslovesyou Message me you anonymous white face,I'm not posting my address in public view.I don't even know if you're a woman or not,because your profile is anonymous. Also if you're ugly you might get eggs thrown at you if you visit me.No woman in this world is stronger than me,I don't if she knows martial arts,I'd still kick her buttocks.

  • @WestcoastMusicals Don't be so driven by what society tells you. Women aren't weak, it's just a male-driven society that teaches them how to act.

  • @rachg01 - Women don't act weak either unless being rational and using their minds to think actual thoughts instead of bringing everything full circle back around to sex is considered weak. I've been reading that troll's comments and some of the replies made me laugh so much. Don't let some kid ever pull you into a 'debate' about 'equality.' Women don't have to keep their emotions in check because they don't have all that testosterone in them causing them to be violent or obsess about sex.

  • @WestcoastMusicals You give an innocent person WHO'S AT THEIR JOB a hard time because you can? You do know people get FIRED for talking back to a customer.You're the weak one, it takes more strength to hold back your anger. and if you want to play that game, you don't know your place as a man! Men are NEVER suppose to raise their voice at a woman, men are always suppose to be caring, dedicated,supportive, protective, and gentle. So don't talk about a woman's place when you don't even know yours!

  • @Rikako You wish woman,I raise my vice when necessary,I'm gentle when I feel like it,etc. You want a weak sensitive girly man,but that doesn't run in my family genes. Also a woman should never tell a man how he should behave,because you can never think like a man,or be a man. You can only tell a woman how to behave like a woman,if a man teaches you how to behave like a woman.It all revolves around the man...you woman.

  • @WestcoastMusicals Next time you want to write utter garbage at least try and do it in a more coherent manner.

  • @TheSolitaryHeart You're a woman,or possibly a girly man type?

  • @WestcoastMusicals I'm not a woman or a man, in fact I'm not even human. I'm an amoeba who as rapidly evolved the ability to think and type on a computer.

  • @WestcoastMusicals - Men are ruled by their hormones and are emotional ALL the time so why you'd think any woman would ever want to be like that is a mystery. Why would anyone want to think in an illogical way like men do? Women don't have to think about sex all the time or get emotional and angry like you're doing in ALL of your posts. Honey, men are the one's with the testosterone that makes them overly emotional. Geesh, everyone KNOWS that. Now go read a biology book and learn something.

  • this is some sexy s**t

  • the cemenet garden is so good

  • cement garden brought me here

  • By far the best song Madonna has ever done, and she's done some great ones, but the music here is so fantastic. I don't really pay much attention to the lyrics though to be honest.

  • love love loves it!! love the meaning!!

  • I prefer this version.

  • ADORO ESSA MUSICA .....

  • caralho,amo demais essa musica,a anos

  • Um you really need to keep your opinion to yourself, maybe ? Yeah k thx. Some prefer this version.

  • Umm, u really need to check what Paul Oakenfold did with this less than average song.

  • Qué hermosa obra de arte!!!

  • One time I was like if I could be anybody who would it be and I was like Madonna.

  • Every decade Madonna releases at least one masterpiece that I love and it stays with me forever. This is one of them :D.

  • still prefer the remix by Above and Beyond

  • :/ it stoped before it even was able to actually end :/

  • I can't stop listening to this!!!

  • Is it weird that i love metallica, napalm death and this song???

  • @Fly0nLittleWing Nope, I usually listen to black metal. 

  • @Fly0nLittleWing I find it so cool x)

  • @Fly0nLittleWing No. It just means you're diverse and probably open-minded. I like Jewel, Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam (freestyle), KRS1 (sound of da police), RUSH (all-time favorite growing up), Fleetwood Mac, Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth, and Slayer. MUSIC - Make Up Something Interesting & Complimentary -Neil Peart.

  • I'm gay and I love this song <3

  • @Marblessa Good for you. I often enjoy the company of gay people more than straight people. Many men are block heads. That's all that comes to mind when I think of other men. I don't even like using the term "gay". That's merely a sexual preference, not essentially who you are. YOU are much more than that. Honesty; loyalty; compassion; decent conversation - Anyone can have these qualities. Sexual orientation doesn't tell me who a person is. Unfortunately, some people don't think very far.

  • This song makes me feel liberated and proud to be a women

  • @joanriverslovesyou Women came from the rib of man just remember that...woman.

  • @WestcoastMusicals You actually believe that?!

  • @WestcoastMusicals your a dumb ass for believing something that came from a book written by the government to control the peoples thoughts and beliefs. And straight men wouldn't even wake up in the morning if it weren't for women, oh, you must be gay then. Pussy runs the world rather you like it or not. I bet your lonely and single, and what the hell are you doing watching Madonna videos? Must be homosexual, which is ok with me.

  • @joanriverslovesyou Can't express yourself without anger and profanity? You must be a woman,or a minority(non white). Your souls is doomed for hell and the minions are working through you,but you minions are too weak to convince me the Holy bible isn't 100% true. Ha ha ha jokes on you Lucifer.

  • @WestcoastMusicals May the lord smite thee down!

  • @WestcoastMusicals a black homosexual man is calling me a minority, lol, well sweet heart, i happen to be a young blue eyed blond haired white women (& proud). It has nothing to do with being the devil, its my beliefs, shame on your ignorance and conservative like comments, it doesn't make me Lucifer because i don't believe in the bible. But your thoughts are your thoughts. It must be bliss for you to bash some one through you tube comments or the internet when u surely wouldn't in person.

  • @joanriverslovesyou A woman that can't express herself without childlike insults. I can label you whatever I want to,yes you're a minority,accept it woman. If you don't believe in Jesus christ,then it's your soul suffering,not mine.i won't step aside and let you corrupt others with your atheist mislead lifestyle. No matter hat race you are,you're just a woman,and i will never allow a woman to become smarter,nor stronger than me. I like white chicks,i label you a chick.

  • @WestcoastMusicals lol, who is using childlike insults? Im not atheist, as a mater of fact, i think im going to prey for you, i feel sorry for a little that thinks like you, i wonder how you treat your mother or sisters, God, i hope you never have a daughter. It humors me hoe little boys like you are so scared of women that loves themselves are are proud to be female, oh, and you clearly have let plenty of women show that they are smarter then you, your not hearing my feelings, lol

  • @joanriverslovesyou you're anonymous,so your words have no meaning.I have no sisters,and my mom knows her role,she knows a proud womanizer. Britney Spears made that song about me,and I have no daughters,no kids,because I can control my emotions and way of life. I love Madonna,i grew up off her,she a wonderful white lady,she also knows her role, that's why she made this song. Be a good white girl and learn your role,also post a picture because i only like hot white chicks.

  • @WestcoastMusicals How about you be good little porch monkey and know your role :) Id rather be a woman then an ignorant little black boy like yourself. You wanna play the label game? Ok, i bet you don't have a job, live off of welfare checks and foods stamps, and you probably like the fat white girls too huh? And don't call me a racist when your sexist, and i really don't give a shit if you like white men. What ever you say about me bounces off of me and sticks to you. Ok tree decoration.

  • Comment removed

  • @WestcoastMusicals - Oh, hush up child and go do your homework. Geesh. Where do these sheep come from?! Baby, someone is setting you up for a serious come down when you grow up. If you don't start figuring out what YOU have to offer the world and sort yourself out, it won't make a flying fig where you think 'women should be.' LOL.. Get some self respect, child. Oh, and don't bother replying because honey, you can't insult me. You're playing with the big boys now! Yes, I said BOYS.

  • @WestcoastMusicals Well any ways, i love strong women such as Madonna, Oprah Winfrey, Lady GaGa (who by the way is the highest payed entertainer, makes more $ then the men ;) ) Sojourner Truth, Nancy Pelosi, Amelia Earhart, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Josephine Baker, Calamity Jane, Beyonce, Linda Chevez, Janice Joplin, Grace Slick, Aileen Wuornos, The Runaways, Shirley Manson, Trina, Amphitrite, Feona from Shreck, Hua Mulan, Foxy Brown, Sinead O'connar, Martha George, Queen Elizebeth....

  • @WestcoastMusicals - Oh, now I get it. The Bible tells you that because of your genitals you get a free ride through life. LOL. You better stay in that basement because the world which is ever changing & is going to chew you up and spit you out. Hell? LOL... No such place and only a fool would drink the koolaid and start telling others to do the same. I'm just having fun now because I see you don't have the intelligence to put forth a logical or reasonable argument. The 'bible made me do it.'

  • @WestcoastMusicals - By the way, 'expressing one's self with profanity and anger' is what men generally do. You even have that backwards. LOL. It's called testosterone and whether you like it or not, it's the hormone that fuels all that profanity and anger and men, surprise, have most of it. I know you're a kid but there must be some adults who can look after you because who ever has that job now is bordering on being abusive. Why are they not telling you to work on yourself?

  • i love this song. beautiful.

  • I have never read so much generalising garbage in all my life as the comments about this song. All straight men are 'this' and all gay men are 'that' and all women are 'this' as well. Utter tripe. Stop pushing your own twisted agendas onto this lovely, sexy and moving song.

  • Soo amazing song!! International day of women!!! Enjoy!!

  • madonna is a queen when she so deep!!

  • Men try to look like girls to try to understand what you all are put through by any and all men. there not degrading you But they do need to quit now. Step into a new millenium

  • It`s true that boys don`t appreciate girls , they think that girls is just born to serve them . That`s why all those women back in the 60s , 70s suffer so much . They think because we`re girl , we need to please them . Well , boys , you need to know what it feels like to be a girl , being judged as weak , having to be pretty to please you male , having to learn how to cook because we`re girls ! Boys , It`s hard to be a girl , it`s even more difficult to be a woman !

  • @YuRo96 - And we don't have to do any of those things. Men can cook. Men can look good for their women. Men are often judged as weak but it is always as an excuse to get them off for behaviour which society wouldn't tolerate from women but we 'accept' it from men. They are 'ruled by their hormones' and if they cheat on their partners, it's because they are 'weak' and she 'tempted me.' Men need to start taking responsibility for their actions and stop blaming their hormones: testosterone.

  • i love this tune- but have any of you creepy wankers ever seen the concrete garden. nobody has the right to apologise on my behalf as a man - i (like most normal men) have never hit or harmed a girl,and no girl or woman has ever harmed me -some of you talk like no female has ever done a bad thing -that kind of shit is no help to equality.i'm sorry but women are not better than men they've just had a harder time

  • @iampunitan - I agreed with most of your comment until the end. Let's all look up and not down. Instead of making sure others are 'no better than' let's celebrate and expect the positives each of us has to offer the world. Woman HAVE had it hard but to accept that all is ok because they behave 'just as bad' is a backward step. Nobody has to look bad at all if we teach our children self respect and self belief. Children taught that don't get hung up on sex or gender roles. They see past it all

  • @FredericaBimble i can't find or remember my comm that you replied to - you are obviously very passionate about madonna ( or equal rights) - but you are starting to look a bit obsessive - expressing your opinion is what you tube is all about , but there is a fine line between expressing yourself and preaching. i think this is a great song and i like to see what diff people think about it - i don't want to read political views on a music video page -

  • "For a boy to look like a girl is degrading because you think being a girl is degrading"

    ... so how do you explain girls who ridicule guys who look feminine?

  • @neoYTPism I don't get your comment. Doesn't the phenomenon you describe prove her words true? Boys get ridiculed for looking feminine because being feminine is considered degrading. And girls are just as prone to thinking that as boys are.

  • It doesn't prove her words true at all. It may prove that some girls hold guys to the standards of gender roles, and make fun of guys who don't meet those standards. But seeing their own gender role as DIFFERENT doesn't imply seeing it as INFERIOR. @lookatdoor

  • @neoYTPism If that were true no one would care when a boy wears a dress just like no one cares when a girl wears pants. But people do care in the first situation because they view (stereotypical)femininity negatively. No one calls ellen degeneres a cross dresser (even though she wears a 3 piece men's suit and has a man's haircut). But what man could host a talk show in a dress, heels and and long flowing hair and not be considered a crossdresser and taken seriously? That would be "degrading."

  • "If that were true no one would care when a boy wears a dress just like no one cares when a girl wears pants." - lookatdoor

    You seem fairly presumptuous here. Firstly, pants are more so the "norm" aside from gender, and there are reasons in their favour than other than gender. (Comfort, for example.)

    Second, males crossdressing is associated with homosexuality, whereas female crossdressing isn't, so males are more hesitant about it. Ellen already came out as lesbian so she's off the hook.

  • @neoYTPism "males crossdressing is associated with homosexuality, whereas female crossdressing isn't"

    Exactly. There's a double standard.

  • Right. And I'm questioning your assumptions as to why that double standard exists @lookatdoor

  • @lookatdoor I think people can also ascribe the degradation to the individual, and not the feminine qualities themselves. Boys and Men are not supposed to act this way, but when they do, it's not the act itself that puts people off, but the person. They say and think there is something wrong with the person. Many men placed in that situation would not feel the same way if a woman was expressing the feminine qualities. The qualities didn't change, just the individual.

  • Respond to this video...I want to clarify when I said "boys and men aren't supposed to act this way". I said that only to illustrate a point. Sexuality is not something that's chosen. A lot is hormones and biochemistry and that varies in men. Given the circumstances, homosexuality is not abnormal. Strange? I like to sniff a female's butt. Now why would I make a decision like that? I don't fight nature. It has a hell of a track record. Freedom and respect to ALL. 

  • @neoYTPism - those girls are joining in with the bullying behaviour of boys. Take those girls out of that environment and that 'feminine' looking boy will become their friend pretty quick. Girls aren't slaves to their hormones and can quickly sort a boy into the friend pile or the attractive to them pile. Boys are ruled by their hormones so don't have that sort of control and that is why you often hear men described as 'weak' when they screw everything in site.

  • Well, by "joining in" they show people who they really are. Take them out of that environment and you obscure it.@FredericaBimble

  • I UFKING LOVE YOU MADONNA! You're just as good as (if not better than) any man

  • I absolutely LOVE this song. Was my favorite song of all-time for about 8 years. Number two now ^^

  • This is Madonna's song to misogynists. It is an empowering song for women and gay men.

  • @SurlyComet I would say any man who doesn't fit into the typical gender role, even if he's straight. 

  • @lookatdoor I agree...Straight men are so paranoid when they don't measure up to typical gender roles..I mean wear that pink dress if you want to, people!

  • @SurlyComet Im' pretty sure gay men don't know what it feels like to be a girl.

  • @estevancarlos Madonna is saying men can feel like girls, i.e. fall in love with other men.

  • @SurlyComet Falling in love with other men doesn't/shouldn't make them female. Just because a man's gay doesn't mean he can't be "masculine."

  • @sleepyat2am No one is saying gay men should act "effeminate" here. This song is just suggesting gay men to feel what they want to feel, even if it means assuming a role traditionally ascribed to females, i.e. falling in love with other men.

  • @SurlyComet - No, she isn't, she wrote the song for her daughter. It is literally describing being a female.
