  1. The video was a game changer. Educating the mtv audience while bringing the video form to a new level the fact that straight up by Paula Abdul won female video over this is another in the list of award show jokes. Madonna did it all here The award winning direction of fincher was perfect and the shep remix pumped sheet perfection
