Description

Its 25 years since Madonna first came to the attention of the world, and since then shes barely been off the chart, out of the papers or even come close to dropping off the public radar. Madonna - The Performance Review is a documentary film which concentrates on this extraordinary womans work as a dancer, a performer and an actress. From her astonishing music videos to her staggering live shows, and a reassessment of her often unfairly criticized film career, this program looks again at how she has entertained us for more than a quarter of a century to an extent few if any have ever come close to matching. Featuring rare and classic performance footage of Madonna.

this dribble is not entertaining or informative.......2007-07-07

Madonna is not important, provocative, or a catalyst anymore. She has once again "re-invented" herself as an unimaginative conglomerate that peddles her bebop-commodity to the highest bidder. This DVD is just a puff piece marketed to the masses to make money off the bleach-blonde cash-cow. It's no surprise that this dribble is not entertaining or informative. But couldn't they have licensed a better picture for the DVD cover?

Madonna Rocks!!.......2007-05-01

I loved this collection of videos of Madonna. They were the best from Mtv.All her greatest songs, which I believe are all of them!! It will take you back to the best of the 80's!

Lady Madonna!.......2007-04-29

I've been wanting this dvd for sometime now! It has 13 of my favorate video's. A must have, if you are stuck in the 80's and a Madonna fan!

This is excellent DVD video collection. Very good picture quality and sounds. Worth to purchase it. Do not think twice.

She asked me for all the Madonna videos, and I got her 3 and she loves them ALL!

Collectors must have.......2007-03-08

For all of you big Madonna fans this is a must have - it brings all of Madonnas older music videos. This is a collectors item to have, plus it also brings the great theatrical performance of Vogue that Madonna did for the MTV music awards. The performance revives the whole Marie Antonoitte fashion. The rest of the videos translates into the 80's - 90's music. If you have not already purchased it you are missing out on this great collection.

Description

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone never made any secret of her ambition to become the most successful female recording artist of all time. For two decades she has provoked storms of outrage and controversy through her songs, videos, stage performances, film roles and books - deliberately provoked as part of a superb exercise in self-promotion. Now her phenomenal work-rate and extraordinary ability to re-invent herself have seen her safely through to iconic status. Eagle Media examines the rise of Madonna in Madonna: The Wild Angel, from her life growing up, her early attempts at becoming a star and life as the megastar that she is today. Featuring interviews with journalists, authors and DJ's, along with vintage news clips, tells the story of Madonna like it has never been heard before. The program is approximately 63 minutes long and contains an additional hour of bonus features.

The Queen of Pop has done it again and offered her fans and music impresarios alike a music performance to be remembered. Drowned World Tour--filmed in her home town of Detroit on August 26, 2001--is both an amazing pop concert and a visually stunning modern dance and multimedia piece encompassing all the recent incarnations of this chameleon-like performer. Never one to shy away from championing new styles in both clothes and music, Madonna is still as raunchy as on her Erotica tour, but Drowned World Tour also offers a much more effeminate and intelligent side to her performance, with a geisha/Japanese performance piece during such songs as "Frozen" and dressed as a Southern-belle line dancer during such songs as "Don't Tell Me." The Drowned World Tour, rumored to be her last live show, proves that Madonna still reigns supreme. --Nikki Disney, Amazon.co.uk

drowned world........2007-02-05

Not my favourite Madonna concert.
Although interesting , it isn't as good as previous tours like Blonde Ambition and The Girlie Show, both of which were brilliant.
Parts of it were excellent and what people have come to expect from Madonna.
The highlights being Impressive Instant, Beautiful Stranger, Ray of Light, Frozen, Nobody's Perfect, Don't tell me, La Isla Bonita, Holiday and Music.

Pretty good overall, and a good buy.

THIS IS WHAT I CALL SPECTACULAR!!!.......2006-12-08

I bought this DVD in 2002 When I was a ''beginner Madonna Fan''.
When I saw it for the first time I didnt really like it. Maybe I was too young to accept and understand such mature and sophisticated shows like this (I was 14), So I decided to place it on the shelf for a long long time.

And Today (after just watching the show again) I am really Shocked!!!
Its an amazing show with great technique and performance. The stage, the costumes, Madonna and even the Dancers are Great.

Never Under estimate This Womans Power, Even If you are not a fan You will enjoy it.
Madonna Knows what she's meant to be doing. And she's doing it at her BEST!!

very cool.......2006-08-31

I just recently came out as a Madonna fan after seeing the Confessions tour. I had so much fun, that I went back and bought all her other live DVDs. This one has a great look. I love how she designs each song. I appreciate the theatrical side of her. Some great performances here too.

Impressive Instant.......2006-08-06

I have always been a fan of Madonna, throughout her evolution as a performer. This tour shows a much grittier, more emotionally attached performer than has been seen before. That said, I've never considered her shallow. It's just she seems to look inside much more now than before, and her show reflects that, being an extension of her to be scrutinized. Her energy level throughout the show is wonderful, and she really seems to be giving it all she has all show long. Her voice is strong and clear, no matter how demanding the material. The material, actually, is where the most discussion has occured. Very few of her older hits make an appearance here, and many of her older fans felt somewhat cheated. Obviously she had three albums of material to catch folks up on, but not all choices made pleased all. The band itself is top-notch, and the back-up singers, Donna DeLory and Niki Harris, are wonderful here. Nothing or noone, however, can take your attention away from Madonna herself, and she still has all the right moves. The sound and picture here are outstanding, and you can still feel like you're in the middle of an actual concert, what with the crowd noise reverberating around you. I know this show didn't really please her long-term fans who would have liked more oldies, but her younger fans were very happy. All in all, this was a well-produced, well-rehearsed show, and the DVD is very worthy of being included in your DVD library.

This concert dvd is absolutely fantastic.
It is brilliant and entertaining from start to finish.
It is on par with Blonde Ambition and The Confessions tour.
An absolute "must" have for all Madonna fans, and even if you are not a fan of Madonna, but like being entertained by watching a great show, this is for you.
Spectacular.

Much Better Than Is To Be Expected!.......2007-01-28

Recently, I've been taking-in the numerous pleasures of Madonna via her "Sex" book era of Erotica and Romance. Purchasing the CD of the single's title and picking up this concert at the same time, seemed a fiery mesh of beauty that I hoped I could handle all at once.

Luckily: I couldn't.

While I had read many other reviews ranging from mild interest to love to absolute hate, I decided to tune out all else I had experienced and just focus on the Lady M. My final verdict? Complete and utter dancing, early 90's era bliss.

Over the past few years, I've found Madonna's performances rather lacking. While I always considered the "Drowned World Tour" her best effort, there were moments I wished had been taken out of the set list, along with other aspects of her recently completed "Confessions Tour." At times, these two concerts took things a little bit too seriously, with Madonna so full of her spiritual self that it distracted from all other sequences appearing behind her. A shining example of such would be the interlude of Dancers' Confessions that paved the way for Madonna's "Live to Tell" during the NBC Broadcast of "Confessions." The whole routine was horridly produced and cliched beyond belief, made all the worse by the fact that Madge was taking it all to heart. She was ruining herself under all these trying-too-hard efforts at shock that it was really quite . . . laughable.

However, "The Girlie Show" is nothing short of spectacular! Where as other tours have been parody-worth due the over-the-top seriousness, this concert was pure and simple fun. If anyone else had tried to pull off some of the antics contained on this DVD, they would be the stock of laugh of the entire country. However, Madonna makes it all work in some odd choreographed way. No matter how crazy or insane the spectacle becomes, you can continually see Madonna laughing, smiling, and singing through the sweat, making for a great concert of high energy, leaving undertones at the door.
The epitome occurs with "I'm Going Bananas," an infectiously silly rendering of Spanish style music and fun circus-style entertainment, which, at the end of the day, makes up the meat of "The Girlie Show."

"Erotica"..."Bye Bye Baby"..."The Beast Within"..."Justify My Love" - It's all one night of pure perfection.

~Highly recommended~

Hot show.......2006-10-19

I loved this concert! I always liked the routine she did for Bye Bye Baby. Very clever. She had a very tight band on this tour, including Omar Hakim on drums, who has played with Sting and many other artists. He keeps the beat like no one else. This was such a playful show. Her later tours were a bit political in overtone, but this tour was like a circus. I much prefer Madonna in this context. No message - just singing and dancing. Hot.

Not My Favorite Madonna, But Worth It.......2006-08-28

Dont get me wrong I love Madonna. She beautiful, provocative, talented, and all those things. But this is my least favorite concert, the concert was in support to her racy album Erotica and it was around the time her infamous but 5 star Sex Book was released. She had a few lows during the concert (i.e. Like A Virgin,Vogue,and La Isla Bonita) but she performed her new hits with style and originality! Deeper and Deeper, Erotica, Bye Bye Baby,Fever, Why Its So Hard, and Rain. Madonna was working her bottom off it seemed during the elaborate show. The Girlie Show was splendid, again not one of her best such as Drowned World or Confessions Tour. But would would defiently recommend this its a great item to have for any fan and its an exotic show to be watched. Many will LOVE! Its very racy in some seens, it should be for kids 13 - 15 and up (recommended).

"You give me fever...".......2007-07-08

Madonna - Video Collection 1993-99 is the ultimate gift for any hard-core Madonna fan. Of course it's not a complete collection, videos like Deeper and Deeper, This Used to Be My Playground and some others are missing, but this is still a great collection of Madonna's groundbreaking videos. My favorites include: Frozen, Ray of Light, The Power of Good-bye, Take A Bow, Bad Girl, and Beautiful Stanger. Great picture and sound quality and who could not resist Madonna's tight leather get-up for the video, Human Nature. Buy it today, perfect for any music collection. Happy viewing!

My wife is a die-hard Madonna fan and she loves this!.......2007-03-08

She asked me for all the Madonna videos, and I got her 3 and she loves them ALL!

Great eye candy :).......2007-02-25

This is a really wonderful collection of videos covering seven years of her music. Each one has its own distinctive look and design - she does an amazing job of reinventing herself each time. Granted, she also comes across as being quite in love with herself in this collection, but what else is new? Just watch the pretty pictures and you'll be fine. :)

1 - Bad Girl: With Christopher Walken. It's interesting - everyone else says that he plays her guardian angel, but I always interpreted his character as her dead beloved, even though there aren't any pictures of him around her flat. I think it's the whole "I miss you, I'm not happy" thing going on.
2 - Fever: M's redo of a Peggy Lee classic. I swear this video is playing in every gay club in the US - it's that colorful and fun.
3 - Rain: Easy on the eyes after all the brilliant fiery colors and metallics of the previous vid. She's in Japan shooting her video, looking fantastic in a pixie cut.
4 - Secret: Black and white, and M's look is gleefully trashy as she sits on the edge of a bar's stage, singing. I love it! Wonderful people shots in her character's neighborhood. Can't quite figure out the story - is her character pregnant, and her lover is keeping it a secret and she's enjoying it?!
5 - Take a Bow: Bullfighting in Spain is the real star here. The vid tells the story of a woman dumping her bullfighter lover because he doesn't appreciate her. She looks fab in 40s vintage, and I love the opening scenes of them both getting dressed to go out: she corsets and layers just like he does. The visual comparisions were neat.
6 - Bedtime Story: An interesting dream-sequencey kind of video, with silly lyrics. Interesting to watch, though. I guess her character is in some sort of suspended animation, and these are her dreams.
7 - Human Nature: Eye-catching choreography and fascinating vinyl and leather outfits. Good lyrics, too, actually. :)
8 - Love Don't Live Here Anymore: Snoozeville. 'Nuff said.
9 - Frozen: Visually dark (underexposed), but fascinating. I love how M becomes a flock of birds, and the desert scenery is striking and fits with the theme of the music. I wish she'd go back to her dark hair. She's gorgeous with it.
10 - Ray of Light: The song itself is really good, even though the lyrics make no sense to me. The vid is "Eh, whatever". Pretty much anyone can speed up visuals and put a song to it.
11 - Drowned World/Substitute for Love: M is numb to fame, and would rather, in the end, spend time with her kids. I wonder how much (if any) of that footage is culled from real paparazzi footage?
12 - The Power of Goodbye: Pretty people at a beach house playing chess while she writhes around on a short wall, singing. Okay, but can I have more cliff footage, please?
13 - Nothing Really Matters: One of M's classic Selfish Songs ("Nothing really matters/Love is all we need/Everything I give you/All comes back to me.") set to an oddball Japanese theme. She looks neat in the black kabuki/kimono thing, but the red one's a bit head-scratchy. And the noh-inspired Japanese characters are random too. Still want to dance to it, though. :)
14 - Beautiful Stranger: The best part of this vid is Power's fantasies of M with him in his car! :)

All in all a good collection. Enjoy!

a stunning collection.......2006-10-26

Madonna took a giant leap forward in making her videos in the 90's. Every clip was unique, and collected together, it's actually quite amazing to think all these videos are from the same artist. Talk about "reinvention". No one has done it better than Madonna. More than a few of the most striking videos of our time have come from her. Excellent!

Madonna - Ciao Italia ( live from Italy)........2007-02-16

This concert dvd is well worth watching.
It is enjoyable, but definately not in the same league as concerts that came along after this one.
It is great to be able to look back on Madonna performing in concert in the 1980's.
Not a bad buy and people should enjoy.

At he top of her game.......2007-01-10

Before she became so outrageous, she was really a good entertainer. This is her at her very best, and includes all of her most popular hits. Don't really like her now, but loved her then. Lots of memories. A great show, very enjoyable.

such a fun show!.......2006-10-25

What can you say? Madonna - full of fire, energy and spirit. Could she know how big she would become? Who knows. But this was the era of the "fun" Madonna. No politics, no message. Simple fun! She had a great band backing her, and the dancers were fun too. Before the spectacle of the Confessions Tour, this was the kind of show to catch. Madonna at her most playful period.

how could she earn anything less than 5 stars?.......2006-08-20

Awesome performances as always. I like all the close-ups of her profile, where you can see sweat dripping down by her hairline and ears. I don't know, it's just something that makes her more human and less of a quasi-immortal being.

Love the message on the screen at the end of Papa Don't Preach (SAFE SEX)...and the wild dress she wears, complete with fuzzy dice and a small baby doll attached, in the Dress You Up/Material Girl/Like a Virgin medley. Also liked the gun sound effects in White Heat.

Her creativity clearly has no bounds.

This is an excellent workout video if you like to dance (and sing) along.

Norman Mailer may have come up with the title Advertisements for Myself, but in this case, Madonna is the one who really wrote the book. Truth or Dare, an engaging behind-the-scenes look at the pop star's Blonde Ambition tour, is a feature-film advertisement for herself that Roger Ebert cleverly dubbed "an authorized invasion of privacy." How much of it is calculated and how much of it is genuine, what Madonna chooses to reveal about herself and what she actually reveals in the process, are up to the viewer to decide. Patterned in part after the classic D.A. Pennebaker documentary of Bob Dylan Don't Look Back, the black-and-white sections of Truth or Dare offer glimpses into her offstage life, while excerpts from the show are seen in color. Madonna's relationship with her father and brother, the maternal control she wields over her dancers, her giggly friendship with Sandra Bernhard, her crush on Antonio Banderas (later to become her costar in the movie version of Evita), the waning days of her relationship with Warren Beatty (who accuses her of wanting to exist only for the camera)--all of it becomes self-conscious fodder for a fascinating examination of modern pop stardom. --Jim Emerson

Is this DVD out of stock?.......2006-09-28

I'm not lucky enough to own this product, but I just did a search on it to compare its contents with those of the I'm Going to Tell You a Secret, which I do own, and realized that the DVD is currently only being sold by external users and sellers, and not by Amazon itself.

So I'd like to know, cuz this has got me thinking that maybe we'll see a re-release soon? I'm really hoping for a new DVD, with remastered sound and video. It would be so great it they would release it this year, to go along with the more recent documentary.

A Document for Madonna's Times.......2006-04-18

16 years after this documentary was released, and Madonna is still with us. Has anything changed? She's had kids, maintained musical mastery of her work and kept on chugging.

Truth or Dare is a very well made 'fly-on-the-wall'document that has not dated in my opinion. Then, as now, Madonna was ahead of the curve in doing this. Her chameleon like makeovers make her a more riveting subject. And as an icon for her time, she makes for great tv. The slice of life approach integrates well and viewing it 16 years later - it's as fresh as it ever was. Better than the Osbournes.

One thing is I always wondered what happened to the director of the film: Alek Keshishian. They should consider doing a follow up.

PS - Blond Ambition was my favourite Madonna tour on video, and I hope they release it again on DVD. This release features a few performances.

Truth or dud is more like it.......2005-12-31

I saw this movie (for free) in the theater when it came out and if I had to pay good money to watch it I would have demanded my money back. It has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen! I was so bored I almost fell asleep watching it. This movie is a waste of good hard earned money and I would not recomend buying it or wasting your time watching it.

"She doesn't even want to live off-camera".......2005-09-28

"Truth or Dare" is supposedly a no-holds-barred behind-the-scenes look at Madonna during her Blond Ambition tour. Nowadays, Madonna sports a faux-British accent and writes children's books and sometimes goes on TV to rail against the dangers of ... TV. But back then (1991) Madonna thrived off shocking people with her racy videos and even racier live shows.
Despite the fact that at one point (in Toronto) Madonna gets into hot water for performing a masturbatory act onstage, the real-life Madonna Louise Ciccone is about as sexy as a can of baked beans. Loud, pushy, demanding, and above all phony, rarely has a celebrity seemed so utterly dislikable on-camera. She plays mother-hen to her entourage of dancers and make-up artists, but when one makeup artist is sodomized in New York, Madonna simply whines that "it's so hard" to do a show in the Big Apple. A childhood friend comes to visit Madonna backstage and is given the polite brushoff. Kevin Costner describes one show as "neat" (he clearly didnt enjoy it) and Madonna mimics throwing up. Then-boyfriend Warren Beatty has a priceless moment when the producers ask Madonna if she wants to take her throat culture off camera. "Why?" snaps Beatty. "She doesn't even want to live off-camera."
But perhaps the most surreal and funny moment is when Madonna invites her dad to one of her shows in Detroit. Her dad is clearly disgusted by the raciness of her shows (at one point she kneels by her dad onstage, and looks ready to give him a ... well, use your imagination). Backstage her dad weakly says the show is "arty" before Madonna gives him a huge smackdown about her artistic conscience. At another point, Madonna lies on her mother's grave, limo waiting, while her brother Christopher hides behind a tree, clearly embarrassed beyond words.
So this is Madonna: rude, demanding, pushy, self-righteous, and pretty much insufferable. Depending on your taste, you can either view this as a hysterical chronicle of appalling celebrity behavior or simply a PR-job gone awry.

Madonna - Truth or Dare.......2005-09-21

Madonna's Truth or Dare DVD is a fabulous journey down memory lane, when I was in my 20s. I thourouly enjoyed watching it again and love the fact that now I own an authentic copy to watch anytime I am lacking self-esteem.

Britney Spears: In the Zone is a busy batch of Britney-mania, much of it featuring Spears in crisp dance numbers supplemented by behind-the-scenes glimpses and chatter. The heart of this DVD is an ABC television special featuring toned-down but still sexy performances of "Toxic," "Breathe on Me," and "I'm a Slave 4 U." A fun highlight is Spears's hip-hop collaboration with the Ying Yang Twins on "(I Got That) Boom Boom," one of the few numbers in the star's stage repertoire with a little room for spontaneity. Between songs one finds Spears gushing over her grandfather, praising her entourage, describing the emotional toll of being in the public eye, and, most interestingly, talking a little about writing songs. Also included here is footage from Spears's Times Square performance on MTV, a couple of videos and related featurettes, and a CD including alternative mixes of "Toxic" and "Me Against the Music." --Tom Keogh

Cool!!.......2005-12-31

This Dvd really is neat. It has alot of features and a special bonus disc! But due to the release of her new dvd "Greatest hits: My Prerogative" this dvd is not much too buy. It only has 2 videos. But the Live performance is awesome, plus you get to see an interview with brit! This is a neat Dvd but if your looking for videos go with "Greatest hits: My Prerogative"

Loved It.......2005-12-09

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter, who just adores Britney Spears. She loves it, she must of watched this DVD like 20 times. Britney's songs are just fabulous. I love In the Zone, Toxic, and Boom Boom. My daughter loves the karaoke version of Toxic and has sang along tons of times. Britney Spears is really an amazing person, I love her personality, she is sexy but in a sweet way, which is why I love her.

AWESOME!!!!.......2005-09-24

I live for Britney Spears. She is freakin' AWESOME!!!!
I loved the DVD, her performances were great. And the CD was good, too: my favorite song on it was the "Lenny Bertoldo Radio Edit" of Toxic.

Britney's in the zone. R u?.......2005-07-01

Britney Spears has reigned supreme as pop music's No. 1 female entertainer since her Grammy-nominated, history-making first single "...Baby One More Time" (1998). She has defined a generation and has become the epitome of what is Top 40 pop: music that is enjoyable to listen to, period. Her fourth studio release In the Zone (2003) coincided with the DVD release here, including less raunchy but still uber-sexy performances of her Grammy-winning song "Toxic," a sweaty girl-girl-tinged version of "Breathe on Me," pant and dance-heavy "Slave 4 U" and more. Between footage shot in NYC in June 2003 are interviews and insights on Britney's life, from Family to Life in the Public Eye. DVD bonuses include two live performances of "Me Against the Music" and "Boom, Boom" on TRL and an entertaining Making the Video for the scorcher "Toxic." In the end, viewers are sure to be left wanting more, but Zone satisfies nonetheless. Good job here.

Just okay .......2005-06-30

I'm not a big fan of Britney Spears, but I thought it was neat how she performs some of her songs, and how it shows behind the scenes of her video's, interviews, etc. This D.V.D. is fun for young kids, or anyone that enjoys her music.
