Was so worried this was you bowing out of the newsletter! Anyway, not my fave Madge ballad (hello, "Rain"), but the video is impeccable and it was a smart strategic move.

I love Rain too! And yes, the TAB video is definitely one of her best.

As you know, I'm no fan of Madonna really (sorry) but I love Take a Bow, it is definitely one of her best songs, music, lyric, arrangement, execution, video, emotion everything! And your captions on Madonna's photos are priceless! Wonderful!

I was 17 and in love / lust when Crazy For You came out , which def helped me love it. I'm sorry you couldn't be there.

Probably for the best, as I was 9, and too busy with my Lego for lust, haha.

It must be a “youth thing”: I was never a fan of the ballads i.e. the slow ones back in the day. Now (as a person pushing 50) I think they’re lovely 😂

I do love some of them but I've never got on with this one, really. (Although I do love 'You'll See' now.)

I think its use in 'Friends' was probably a big help. But then I was never big on 'Human Nature' (thought it sounded dated even when it came out), so what do I know... 😂

No I'm not wild about that one either – but it is at least very *her*
