Summary: A must see for any Madonna fan.
Review: I felt the video was very good, though I was surprised that all of her music videos were not on here. There were several classic videos missing such as: Crazy For You, True Blue, The Gambler, Who's That Girl, Dress You Up, Into The Groove, Live To Tell and a few others. But despite this, I think the video is worth buying.

Summary: Nothing else comes close!
Review: I have seen many videos in my time, but this is truly the best collection available. Madonna is unrivaled in the realm of music videos. She is without a doubt the best. Can I give it 6 stars?

Review: I think that Madonna did a super job on the videos in this collection and they show some of her best effort and are very representative of the work that she does. Enjoy viewing!!!

Summary: Great videos -- suspicious quality
Review: I was impressed with the number of quality hit songs Madonna turned out in such a short period of time (This collection covers 1983-90). These videos being back great memories of growing up in the 1980s -- and when it comes to presenting unforgettable visuals with pop music, they were exemplary.Be forewarned -- the video quality of this DVD is surprisingly subpar. I don't know if the problem is inherent in the original masters being 10-15 years old or not, but this DVD plays like a typical VHS copy. (The problem is not evident in the other Madonna video collection -- '93-99').

Summary: A Must Have but WHERE'S the Surround Sound?
Review: I was sort of disappointed to see that only stereo was included on the DVD. The albums are recorded in surround so I don't understand why this package (and the newer video collection) are only in stereo. Try out the Gloria Estefan DVDs for hi-fi sound quality! Perhaps the fact that Gloria is on SONY meant that they realized sound quality on a DVD is as important as on a CD.

Summary: Great collection of Madonna's videos
Review: I would give this collection 5 stars if they wernt missing some really good videos including true blue, into the groove, live to tell , dress you up and a couple more but overall this collection is about 4.5 stars. Contains just videos, no interviews and they couldve put a couple more on there. Heres a review.
1.Lucky Star-One of madonnas first videos-4 stars
2.Borderline- another classic madonna video-4 stars
3.Like a virgin -this is when she became huge star and this video is 5 out of 5 stars.
4.Material Girl- catchy good song, fun video- 5 out of 5 stars
5.Papa dont preach- 4 stars
6.Open your heart- another unique video/classic-4 stars
7.La Isla Bonita- i really like this video-5 stars
8.Like a prayer- 4 stars
9.Express Yourself- great video 5 out of 5 stars
10.Cherish- 3.9 stars
11.Oh father-4.5 stars
12.Vogue- Definetly 5 out of 5
and includes an extra track from 1990 mtv awards show which is a flawless memorable performance by madonna.
Overall 4.5 - they shouldve included a few of her other classics though. Highly Recomended.

Summary: Okay Video
Review: I'm trying to delete my reviews so far I only found this how to edit them. It's an okay video the dvd is better probably to not watch the one's that you may not want to see but you could switch to another mood like when you first saw it maybe something like that then it's not so boring. Maybe dont want to go to that exact mood though from then. So wahtever -just trying to delete these reviews I think it's possible there's a delete button somewhere. The video has to be better than tv. Maybe I'll watch it cuz I had it a long time and didnt' watch it much at all. It was getting on my nerves.

Summary: Quite good, but not as good as it could've been
Review: I've had the video & CD of this for years now, so was happy to get the DVD for Christmas, but disappointed at the same time. My video's version of Like A Prayer was probably worn out, but as I hadn't watched the video in years, a lot of it was new to me. But it's also disappointing, how a few of the classics on the album are missed off the DVD.
For example Crazy For You (a particular favourite of mine after Like A Prayer), Into The Groove, Live To Tell, Justify My Love & Rescue Me are all missing. Instead in their place, are Oh Father, a song I'd previously never heard of, and an MTV awards performance of Vogue. I definitely think the missing songs should have been added on too.
As I've said already, I love Like A Prayer, and started my passion for having black hair when I was young, as I wanted to look like Madonna when I was young. I never understood this video when I was young, but for some reason it struck a chord with me. I understand more of it now I'm older, but some things which were fussed over in the press when it originally came out, aren't really portrayed that much in the video. Sure, the black Jesus is there, but Madonna & him getting down & dirty on the altar is only implied. You'd think the press would have got their facts right! I also love the choir in this, it adds a whole other dimension to the video.
After watching this right the way through, I've also discovered I LOVE Oh Father, coming a close third after Like A Prayer and Crazy For You. It's a black & white video, and Madonna is brilliant in it, from showing her mother's death, to the way her father dealt with it, and how things turned out. This video also struck a chord with me, and left me feeling very emotional afterwards, much as Crazy For You does.
The last video on this is an MTV awards performance of Vogue, with Madonna and her dancers dressed up in fancy Victorian clothes. Despite the fact it's glaringly obvious Madonna's lip-synching, it's all good, as it shows just how far Madonna will go (and how much further she's gone in recent years) to try and shock people. Her male dancers disappear under her skirts, and grabbing her chest at random points throughout the song, and the dancing's fantastic.
Ask any female pop star around at the moment, who influenced them and made them become a singer, they'll say without hesitation, Madonna. They're hardly likely to say Cher are they?

Summary: A generally complete set
Review: I've owned this video for many years and am still impressed by the new ground Madonna staked in the music video medium. Though there were some noteable absentees, I feel it is a good, well-rounded collection. Take off the last video from the MTV Video Awards (can you say, "lip-sync"?), and put in the Dear Jesse video not released in the U.S., or True Blue even.
