Madonna, Phish, Neil Young Videos Banned from YouTube

Madonna, the star whose BlackBerry addiction might just have had something to do with her recent unsuccessful marriage, has recently been banned from YouTube after Google and the singer's label, Warner Music Group, failed to reach a content-sharing agreement.
Maddy isn't the only celeb supposedly prevented from having their content posted on the site, as all other Warner artists -- everyone from AC/DC, Bjork and Josh Groban to Phish, Neil Young, and T.I. -- have similarly been recipients of the ban hammer, at least for the official Warner Music videos (believe us, there's plenty of other random videos of all those bands still alive and well on YouTube).
It's unclear exactly why the ban is being put in place, and whether it's Warner or Google that is ultimately responsible for the tiff, but the repercussions will likely be that streaming the Material Girl's classic '80s videos will be a little harder -- but not much. There are certainly plenty of other music video sites out there these days. [From: Silicon Alley Insider]

amazing how they don't realize they are only hurting themselves- if no one was spreading their image, generating interest and new fans, it would mean no one gave a damn. then they'd be really afraid.

GOOD, Don't let them back on.

If I ever sound this crotchety when I become a geezer, please just pull the plug. Goodness, do you realize how old and cranky you sound? I'm 30, and I think you sound more crabby than my 75 year old grandmother.

why are you all hating on her? i personally dont like her music, but i see both sides of the story, has she ever done anything bad to you guys? Would you like being made fun of sometime you don't even know? Have you met her personally? (If you have personally well then you have reasons) Instead of seeing her bads, look at the good she's done. If you don't like her, then why care about her? Either way you're thinking about her. I believe I made my point here *proud smile*

To Brad, crys,& Mika, Look: it is like this. Tell me one thing positive about this woman and what good has she done. That is all I ask.
amyDec 22nd 2008 2:29PM
her legs are sooo gross - that's the color of death!
TJDec 22nd 2008 2:32PM
I couldn't have said it any better. Eew.
JoyDec 22nd 2008 4:02PM
Her body isn't bad but it's like it belongs to somebody elses head. 80 year old head on a 20 year old body. The pose in this picture is nasty... spreading her legs in those boots and leotard thing she has on. She belongs in a strip joint!!

MADONNA SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE PLANET....
JoyDec 22nd 2008 4:01PM
I totally agree. She's a has-been!
AllisonDec 22nd 2008 2:43PM
She is the new Michael Jackson- WEIRD.
JCDec 22nd 2008 2:55PM
THAT WOMAN OUGHT TO GIVE UP AND JUST GO AWAY. SHE HAS NO SEXUAL APPEAL ANYMORE, AND AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, SHE NEVER HAD ANY REAL "TALENT." SHE WAS JUST,... RAUNCHY! iF SHE HAD AS MANY STICKING OUT OF HER AS SHE'S HAD STUCK IN HER,.. SHE'D LOOK LIKE A PORCUPINE! MADONNA, STOP EMBARRASSING YOURSELF!

Racy videos or no racy videos, YouTube should never have put this
Madonna ban into effect. What would the 1980's fashion trends have
been like without Madonna? Where would the 1'st annual MTV Video
Music Awards have been without Madonna's infamous rollong on the
floor in a dress during her performance of Like A Virgin? Where would
Britney Spears have been without Madonna to guide her as inspiration?
Finally, YouTube, what would an entire 1980's video collection on your
company site be like without Madonna or Prince music videos to make
it complete? The only listenable Prince music video is "Batdance", but
you can't hear "When Doves Cry" or Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You",
because of a similar ban of Prince videos on YouTube. Bring them back
on YouTube this instant, if you haven't done this horrible act, already.
I might not approve of her stage antics, but I love all of her music videos,
and for YouTube to ban them all, that's like Michael Jackson's 1992
music video, "Black Or White" not being shown on MTV at all.. Forget
about editing his video to a mere 5 minutes because of a violent scene.

without madonna, there's one less slut in this world
louDec 27th 2008 9:52PM
All Aboard the HATE train ..you small minded idiots. I dont like her legs.. she is Ew... ..grow the hell up. What R U? probably handi-capped stuck at the computer wondering what happened to your pathetic life..While Superstar Madonna will be renowned the world over your life is like a fly that lands on a pile of shit and then u fly away into nothingness with only shit stuck on your feet. so sad. Madonna Is Untouchable. Bow down ingrates.

Yikes! Who wants to look at a geriatric broad's hanging meat, packed in plastic?
MarkDec 22nd 2008 3:25PM
Don't let em back on either......in fact....ban their videos from EVERY video website and let em see if anyone buys their stupid crap from now on. Seems the way to scare rich people, is by turning em into poor people.

"Madge" is an old hag who needs to put some clothes on and Youtube is a breeding place for future idiots.
AlexisDec 22nd 2008 4:09PM
