Well, Madie was my 1st crush and I remember clearly how it happened. It was on September 1987 and my grandparents and me watched on french TV the « who's that girl » show while my parents were on the road. So it's total luck and this unexpected evening really punched me : Madie was totally cute with her short blond hairs and her songs were just hits after hits ! This concert was like an avalanche and was the start of great moments : my first LP, my first audio-tapes, my first star book, my first music videos ! « You can dance » then « Like a prayer » as well as her previous records were just part of my mind, my blood. Then, with « I'm breathless », things deteriorated : the songs were really average and the exhibitionist mood started to peak ! The « immaculate collection » confirmed this tendency and « Erotica » just killed my passion. For me, Madie is a singer (or an actress) and thus watching her getting nude and having sex even in the name of art is just inappropriate and totally not erotic ! From this moment, i have never bought another of her album and i follow her career from far.
This video is surprisingly registered on IMDb while it's a bootleg never commercially released. For those who have the eponymous book, it's a sort of making-of, behind the stage and even incomplete as all the really hard stuff isn't in this video : here we have the beach, cycling, dancing sequences. Thus, it's quite awful with sloppy black and white for the visual and really personal fantasies for the content : the soundtrack isn't even enjoyable as it's a compilation of old french tunes ! Maybe the only interest of this video compared to the book is that by definition, it's moving pictures so you have a little more than just a static frame !
