Has anyone seen this video? (I have. I first saw in in '91.) MTV banned it in the early '90s. But The Box--and more recently, MTV 2--had aired it.
Justify My Love was the only video to be banned by MTV. I think it was the most controversial video had by Madonna.

I saw it on The Box back in '92 (when I was 10, going on 11) and (keep my age in mind) even then, I was like, "I don't see what the big deal is. Why was this banned?" MTV are stupid for banning it. They've shown worse than this in the years since, so I don't know why they'll never come out and play this in full. I guess it would be like admitting that their standards of decency have weakened in the last 12 years. But anyone paying even a vague attention to pop culture could tell you that. It's not just MTV.

This video was scandalous by the standards of the early 90's, it's really tame now.
I like it in that context, but it's not that crazy or great a video.

I have the video on dvd. On it you can see women bare tits, girl on girl, men on men. I don't think MTV should have banned the video. They could have easy blank somethings in the video out.
One of her better videos.

Justify My Love was the only video to be banned by MTV. I think it was the most controversial video had by Madonna. Wasn't What it Feels Like For a Girl also banned after being shown one time (late night I might add)? |

I think "Justify My Love" was the only video that they COMPLETELY banned though. It was never shown at all on the channel.

I've only seen parts of it. Wasn't "Erotica" banned after the first few showings?

I remember the big scandal over this video.. MTV didn't show it but Ted Koppel showed it on "Nightline"..
When I finally watched it, I was slightly dissappointed.. I was like "That's It".. Very Tame!!

Very Tame!! It's just like "What It Feels Like For A Girl". I remember waiting up to see the video at midnight or whenever it was and it was a lot less than I was expecting. |

LOL, i guess videos like this show up the massive difference between European and American standards. This video is absolutely nothing here it gets shown any day, any time, any channel. I don't even think they edit it.
The song is really great, one of my faves.

I remember hearing that the video was showed on some late night news station. Unfortunately, I missed it.

I love this video AND What It Feels Like For A Girl. Both are masterpieces.
But yes, in regards to What It Feels Like For A Girl, it was pretty silly of MTV to ban it. I've seen much worse.

Oh I love this video. This is one of the best videos she has ever done. I wish they would start showing it again on TV. I miss it a lot. I have the video, but it's not the same.

There are bare breasts in the video which is why it was banned.

Madonna - I got this far. LOL. I don't see the big deal over this or WIFLFAG, both are very tame IMO. I only saw the video for the latter once back when it was out so I don't remember it very well, but I actually quite liked JML innit. Oh, and bare breasts? BOO FUCKING HOO. That's what they invented censors for. |
