  • what an introduction...even if not a fan you cant help but watch this and think WOW!!!

  • words can not express my love for Madonna, she is the true Icon, of modern day music she is a force to be reconed with and any female singer would aspire to be like her, she is my reason for livin' I OVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF MADONNA

    no1 fan since day one and will forever be xxxx

  • Hey Timberlake, tuck your fuckin' shirt in. You look like a bum.

  • She was a trend setter and pushed sexuality in the main stream. Then the world went screaming past her. Now she appears quite tame by today's standards.

  • She is incredible.

    Queen of pop!

  • queen for ever!

    legend and icon of pop culture!

  • i personally think that the 80's was the everlasting decade for artist and glamour people like madonna ,mj, princes diana, help me witn few others please!

  • Queen Of The World !

  • The Ultimate Artist In Rock And Roll. Without There Would Be No Britney Or Lady GaGa. The Latter Is The Rightful Owner Of The New Queen Of Pop.

  • @rwp5858 gag is the princess madonna is the queen adn NOT OVER thx

  • Your, whatever you call what you do to the weird sounds that are made while you jump around onstage, is absolute rubbish! You kiss a blackman in front of a burning cross and all of the sudden you shiek!? Nothing but shock and awe, no substance. Rubbish.

  • He's bringing sexy back.

    I could die!

  • omG, he was talking about BRITNEY in 5:22 - 5:28 :) CUTEEE

  • hahaha justin funny ! well done madonna !!!!

  • Thank you to The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame for inducting someone so rare who knew 2008 was still gonna be a good Madonna year for her fans and for herself. The Historical Impact she has had on Society. As a Gay Man I thank you for embracing Dance And Gay Culture. After all if it wasn't for gays Madonna wouldn't have a career. She is such a good performer on stage. I Luv U Madonna I only like ur music and noone else's. All other music is crap.

  • Duh, so frightened of her ideas? Gee Madonna, Like everyone hitch hikes on the street butt naked. Get real dame.

  • @SpazChat wrong

  • @KabbalahTJ , Wow! What an "explanatory" rebuttal. :\ I just love your writing skills.

  • @SpazChat i didn't want a conversation with a spaz thx loveugodblesstj kabbalah matthewshepard madonnalicious

  • Respond to this video... obvious u want a friend and attention lol

  • @KabbalahTJ , You make absolutely no sense. As if I should be surprised.

  • garbage

  • Im happy they had put Donna and NIkki witrh her.... she the queen, Im sorry, but that's the truth!

  • "Thanks" for ruining her song Iggy!!. My God. They should have had Justin sing and perform it. He would have done it justice. Jeeez. And why are you moving like you have Down's Syndrome.

  • THE QUEEN OF THE WORLD!!!!

  • the piece when she sings Hot house Flower with her band Emmy is awesome!!!!

  • I cant believe she kissed the boy like that. I don't think that's legal. Mind you I was that boys age in the 90's and that would had been a fantasy lol lol lol.

  • madonna, the queen of rock music!!!

  • she is a true legand long live the queen

  • anyone think gaga copies her who better madonna or gaga i vote madonna thumbs up if agree

  • a living legend... Deserve it!!!

    Will never be someone like her... long live the queen!

  • Madonna is the aboslute QUEEN of POP! An all around amazing Woman and human being! Long Live the QUEEN!

  • wtf

  • the only thing thats grating here is having to listen to and look at JT- a rodent faced, douchey mousketeer!!

  • @Jako32 , Puhleeez, he was one of the highlights. They both gave great eloquent speeches. You're just jealous. Greatness always breeds jealous rats like you.

  • Such an amazing amazing woman. <3

  • It takes a real man to compete with her. She gave me strength when I felt isolated, she made me feel free when I felt suffocated, she has taught me that if you worry about what people think of you, you have lost your battle from the beginning. So thank you Madonna. No one is comparable to you.

  • @SirStoneCock this is what exactly madonna means too me too!

  • 8:38 oouch britney... XD

  • No female musician will ever have as big of an impact on pop music and culture like Madonna. She will always be the Queen.

  • She deserves it!

  • I honestly do believe they could have chosen someone else to induct Madonna. 

  • she is possibly the second greatest pop solo icon after Michael Jackson :)

  • LOL, Iggy has the energy of a 9 year-old

  • wtf in the 80's songs madonna sounds like Prince O.o

  • 1st of all i really liked this video

    But it was Eddited alot

    Many parts of it were Missing

    Its funny how Justin Kept mentioning Britney without mentioning her

    Love Madonna

    But Iggy Is Really bad

    i dont think he deserved to sing any of her songs

    He also ssang Ray of light after Burnin Up and that was even worse

  • @kashspice You can kiss Iggy's feet

  • @gsh73la But thats your Job. im not deaf ,He Sucked

    you could tell by Madonnas expression

  • @kashspice he looked retarded on here, its like dude are you having seizures? PUT A SHIRT ON! that was gross . . .

  • I love Madonna but I am soooooo sorry, if she took syringes from her purse, those syringes would come nowhere near me unless of course I was already in Iggy Pop's condition.

  • @Not4Games He's a Grande Gentleman, you sound like an attention deficit tourettes gamer, however ?

  • @gsh73la Iggy is a grande gentleman, but as far as u go u can take your tongue attention deficit tourettes gamer my cunt all the times in the past that I had fresh cum ejaculated in it .

  • Comment removed

  • @meallday25 an artist is only eligible for induction after 25years from their first record release. She was inducted exactly at 25 years....majority of artists are inducted many many years later. A testament to how valuable her contributions to art have been :)

  • thank you Madonna for making the best music and entertaining me since I was 4. You are my RAY OF LIGHT

  • wow she references judaism many times and thanks it.

  • @gogoutube Judaism is division of Christianity to me. After all, wasn't Jesus Jewish???

  • I like the brand new Madonna. She's looks much better nowadays. I like what is done

  • I loved her thank you to to Liz Rosenburg.. " Does anyone understand the insanity of being my publist for the past 25 years.. "

  • She is the best, she deserve it. MADGE ROCKS!!!

  • To rule the world

  • She is simply the best!! The real Queen of Pop!!

  • awh thaks for this xx

  • @jonjonmariah she would be thanking herself then.

  • la mas grande artista d la musica queen madonna!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • justin is always such a pussy about the whole britney thing

    its been 10 years get over it

  • "Life like art is a collaboration" (so true)

  • Iggy was disturbing, and i LOLed at justin's story.

  • the hairstyle is still bad

  • yeah, I don't like it very much either

  • What I don't understand is why we have the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame here in Cleveland, but they had the induction in NY!

  • what do you mean?? to retire, bocome and old lady at home feeding birds??!?

    you should get back to the 21st century and realize that fortunately nowadays a 51 year old woman can do and say whatever she wants!

  • damn right, u wont see me feeding birds when im 50!! lol

  • a few things , while madonna is an accomplished artist ( i say that with a big hairball in my throat),she is not rock in roll.

    But that being said I am not suprised , as the RNRHOF is a bad joke. The long list of extremely influential sucessfull and accomplished artists that have not gone into this hall , basically just wipes out any validity it has.

  • madonna isnt a rocker...she is a pop singer...wrong hall of fame....i enjoyed her early stuff

  • @crashmyers , They're all considered a division of one another, pop, disco, rock and roll, soul. Whatever you want to call it. USA is the only country that's shallow like that and has to have so many names for popular music. No, you're not going to find Tesla getting an award here. They're not popular enough. You have to sell a hell of a lot of records and have a monstrously huge concert draw for many years to become part of this family.

  • The woman doesn't have the best voice, her dancing isn't impeccable. the true genius: watch the lucky star video in its entirety and think about the fact that in 10 years she will become the MOST famous woman in the free world. watch from that era, cyndi lauper with funk and a classically trained voice, or michael jackson- greatest beatsmith that ever lived. still, on charisma alone she surpassed all talented prodigy with simply the most attractive persona to have ever graced the earth.

  • iggy is the best

  • yuck she's so gross.. i'm so ashamed that she's aussie

  • Omg! She is not from Australia! lol! She is Italian and from Michigan! Hello???? Didn't you just watch this? It said in the beginning, Bay City, Michigan! lol! And she is fantastic!

  • i didn't watch all of it... lol. woops! i always get her and kylie minogue mixed up for some reason. how embarrassing! ah well, at least i know she's not australian.. :)

    i'd probably like her if she just stopped trying so hard to look young! so gross..

  • @pureorpureh , How you could get Kylie Minogue and Madonna mixed up is unfathomable. The two are nothing alike.

  • @pureorpureh , What planet are you from? She's a USA-American dumb ass.

  • Madonna is great!

    I really love her!

  • se la ve mas mayor aqui quer en la gira

  • madonna queen the rocks and pop

  • Madonna, rainha da musica, Sempre sempre e sempre!

  • I absolutely HATE that hairstyle!

  • Man Madonna rocks!!

  • She looks just like Joan RIvers now with those ridiculous cheeks (implants) Gah. Horrible. She was beautiful before she butchered her face.

  • It's restylane injections; it's her face and she does what she wants,she looks fine

  • @perisphone , They did a good job, but yes she does look ridiculous. I think she would have looked much better natural, thin lips, gap in teeth and all.

  • i culo madonna!

  • this is a cut version

  • Holiday is the BEST!

  • Amazing what selling your soul to the Devil can do for you... Short-term. ...Live for eternity with Christ!

  • you idiot! words to boost your ego; she's worth 450 mil what are you worth?

  • danamaddy,

    And 450 mil makes her a better witch???

    You are so shallow.

  • where can i downloa this video??????

  • i think she accopmlished her goal

    ♥

  • una carriera PIENA ZEPPA di successi, come nessuno!!!!!!!!!

  • Mesmerising....

    Completely!!

    I have been forefilled.

    Madonna marry me we would be good for each other.

  • Madonna best artist

  • One of the great pop singers left.You go Madonna!

  • That's what a great speech should sound like .

    Bravo !

  • Madonna made me dance! I don't care if she is 'profound' or the 'best this or that'. I just enjoyed the jiggy bits!

    Let's keep on dancin'! xx

  • Oh my God, Iggy, put your shirt back on! (Covering my eyes)! No!!! The image has burned itself in my retinas!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!

    Madonna rules.

  • I love her music

  • Long live the Queen! :D

    XXX

  • you people do know that half the people in that museum arent rock and roll. their is nobody like the old singers so they got to put someone who is successful in their. who would you like to put in their miley cyrus? madonna's fine. nobody complains that mj is in their and he isnt rock.

  • Fix your English.

  • okay, i have to laugh @ chitown -Iggy could make something out of the mediocrity that is a "Madonna song."- no matter who sings the song it's still a Madonna song, so you're kind a contradicting yourself with that statement and quotes should not be used because it is a Madonna song; she wrote it.

  • She's not rock and definitely not as profound as she thinks she is. Leonard Cohen showed so much more class and eloquence on this same night. At least Iggy could make something out of the mediocrity that is a "Madonna song."

  • Madonna is the most talented and most intellegent artist of our time! Nobody can compare...

    You are fabulous Madonna!

    Hope you keep going for another 25years... I cannot wait to see what you will do :D

    P.S. Madonna is absolutely hilarious, and is still great at presenting those little sexual inuendos! Well Done!

  • madonna rules!

  • un simbolo muy especial de esta era.......aguante madonna

  • Madonna is the greatest artist, performer and singer ever!

    She's the biggest selling female artist worldwide!

    Just amazing!

    Her legacy is amazing, she has never inspired anyone because she's too good!

    Just amazing!

  • one of the only superstars left in the word... and she got brains as well! LOVE HER!

  • in love,remembering the good times forever in my

    minds,cao bella.

  • Too bad this version is censored. You can't get the whole Madonna experience without all of her swearing and fantastic innuendos. :P

  • greatest artist of all time

  • she touched me.. i lover her..

  • SHE IS A REALLY STAR!!!!!LOVE U MADDY

  • Madonna is a legend.

  • iggy sucks

  • she is fab.

  • ... and by the time we got there... he was my manager. LOL! She's sooo funny!

  • jajja...what did she mean ..be clear please XD

  • that she persuaded him in a sexual way, i guess. it was funny the was she said it.

  • you are..ya..

  • there are alot of people who she didn't thank who she should've thanked....its actually unforgivable.....her brother Christopher and CERTAINLY Stephen Bray & Shep Pettibone. She never would've went to New York were it not for her Brother.

  • she did thank all of them in the unedited version that streamed live of the induction. I watched it live on via sattelite and her speech was much longer and iggy performed ray of light and burning up she thanked stephen bray and family includes brother christopher.... she thanked all the people she collaborated with from every album

  • just watched the long version. No mention of Pettibone, Christopher or Bray.

  • you kiding !!!!! O.o WHERE CAN SEE IT ..U KNOW THE LONG VERSION!!! ....O.O man youtube sucks

  • Justin Timberlake is a dumbass

  • no shit!

  • Most talented performer, artist, singer and video icon of all times!!!!!!!!!

  • Great tribute to a great woman.

  • OMG this is the best tribute to the best singer in the whole history of music!! no one else is better than madonna!

  • She's right up there with Eva Braun, Typhoid Mary, and Mrs. Miller (60's hit maker)....when we have her, who needs Sara Vaughn, Shirley Bassey, Maxine Brown, Brenda Holloway, Esther Philips, Baby Washington, Damita Jo, Linda Hopkins and all those other nontalents...go get them Madonna!.

  • ok no offence but i have no clue who any of those people are you just said lol, but yea Madonnas bigger than them, hell madonna in my opinion is one of the best people in the world for me

  • Hi Tara, don't blame you for not knowing who these great artists are, you never get a chance to hear them.They were singers who did NOT lipsinc to prerecorded electronicaly modified voice tracks. Sarah Vaughn one of the BEST pop/jazz artists whot ever recorded.I realize she's well before your time, but today she is still considered one of the greatest female pop artists of all time..check out her song "Broken Hearted Melodie" I realize it may not be your kind of music, but she has the voice.

  • oh yea she is pretty good between her and nina simone and patsy cline they are very good for that era

  • Glad you at least checked her out...you might also look up Esther Phillips, "And I Love Him"..the Beatle song...they acknowledge this is one of the best versions ever recorded of this song. ( I am NOT a Beatle fan at all)

    Another classy singer is Betty Everette...great voice,

    They wee classy ladies...many more as well, they shouldn't be forgotten...Linda Hopkins in one of the Last of the Old Blues singers ( she's 84 now) she knocked out some great tunes since 1950 or so...

  • the ignorance and manipulated comment og the lyisinc is starting to be unbearable. cristisize her for other things but she sings 90% live on stage in a 2 hour dancing show and she is the only one who does it...

    and to compare her to the great jazz performers is stupid, silly, and demeaning to her and to them....

  • the criticism about madonna is sooooo sexist, men are never attacked for singin like shit, os being in control of her career, but she is labelled bitch and untalented, and people "cannot believe" she is a songwriter and she produces.

  • Theres's nothing sexist...the guys today are just as badf...not a good one in the bunch...and they all lip sync aand /or have voice enhansers...hate to burst your bubble. the day of the REAL singer are now gone...only "stars' today.... famous for everything EXCEPT singing...

  • @PutOnASweater , I know old music, but who in the hell are most of those people you mentioned? I only know Sara Vaughn out of all those people you mentioned.
