Madonna has sprung another leak. Unlike last year’s devastating and criminal release of demos from her album Rebel Heart by some dumb ass hacker in Israel who’s going to prison for 14 months for stealing and selling the unreleased songs, or last year’s release of unretouched photos from a shoot for Interview magazine (you know heads rolled over that one), there’s nothing too embarrassing about this one. A few seconds of outtakes from the stylish David Fincher-directed clip for her 1990 megahit “Vogue,” AKA the greatest music video ever made, have surfaced. The footage shows the superstar, with hair styled slightly differently than in the finished product, flanked by backup singers-dancers Donna DeLory and Niki Haris going through a routine without the rest of the dance troupe who’d join Madge on her triumphant Blond Ambition tour later that year.
Perhaps this is just a teaser for the Holy Grail of everything related to her Madgesty and the legendary lost footage from Truth or Dare, the documentary about that famed tour, will finally surface in the near future. Keep your fingers crossed that Liz Rosenberg came across an unmarked box while clearing out her office.
UPDATE:
When it rains, it pours (and we hope it never stops): Now nearly 30 abso-fucking-lutely stunning minutes of B-roll from the filming of the “Vogue” video have surfaced. Check out Madonna at the very peak of her untouchable fame below and pray there’s more to come.
How about we take this to the next level?

Beauty’s where you find it.

Vogue remains Madonna’s very best music video and pop song.

what a mutha-f*cking legend.
ScottOnEarth
Very cool stuff!!! Any glimpse into the process of this legend is fascinating to me. She’s a total perfectionist and I’m sure it’s not easy meeting her standards. She definitely has the moves here and looks beautiful.

Nah I dont care express urself is more iconic

Album bombed. So desperate to remain relevant.

I know that she’s been around longer than I’ve been born but I can say for a woman who is still a well known singer she must be doing something right… I like the songs ” Like a Prayer”, “Vogue”, “Ray of Light”, and a couple more like “4 minutes” and “Me against the Music”.
Mercurical Memo
Oh Madonna, you used to be so cool. I remember this was one of the first cassettes I ever owned. The Immaculate Collection. I was Madonna obsessed until 1995, and then discovered alternative rock at 14/15. And Madonna moved on to boring show tunes. Ray of Light was good. But ever since Hard Candy… Memories are good.

Oh, go away, Madonna. You exploited the bisexual double standard which discriminates against male-male interactions. No male performer could ever achieve the commercial success of a Madonna if he performed male-male interactions in his videos or a SEX book.
In a word, vamoose.

@jason smeds: Perhaps you could lead by example…
Mercurical Memo
@jason smeds: wrong target buddy. If the ‘bisexual double standard’ you are offended by bothers you, take it up with patriarchy. I’m not a rabid Madonna fan, but blaming Madonna for an already existing sociological moral code is kinda like blocking out the sun with your finger.
Desert Boy
Madonna’s thin, Midwestern voice was put to good use on Vogue. Visually, the B&W video worked perfectly for dance segments. Definitely, her best work.

Monroe, The Beatles…MADONNA! Love her or not she made an actual impact on the world. She is a pop signer who influenced history and how we live today. That’s significant..that’s real world history.

After watching this, and then the final version, I felt short-changed. There are so many damn cuts in the finished product that I had no idea how much work they put into it.

Yawn.
