Video of life, love and a strong message about keeping her baby!

"Papa Don't Preach" is a strong song and video from Madonna as it has a message of life. The music video shot in New York follows the material girl as a teen who's in a relationship of love and passion. And it intersect showing her life with daddy(actor Danny Aiello) who has conflict and tension with his daughter even more so after he finds out about her pregnancy. The video is also mixed with Madonna dancing in a background black like studio. Still the actions and words of this song are powerful as it's maybe a VOTE to be pro life, as one knows Madonna was always blunt and outspoken.

I'm keeping my baby!

A great music video to an iconic Madonna song. The message is clear and the message is strong, I'm keeping my baby. A solid mix of Madonna singing solo and the storyline playing out.
