In Celebration Madonna's milestones, achievements, music iconography and career longevity, she releases a her latest, most extensive collection of released singles and hits, accompanied by a DVD containing 95% of all the videos she has released. Madonna's video back catalog is indeed impressive and only proves that Madonna is a unique artists who launched a revolution in pop music and culture sometime 25+ years ago. The album art says a lot about Madonna with one bottom line - she's a rare gem in the music industry and what she has done and achieved will always be used as benchmark for the next generation of performers. She is a true living legend and I'm so glad to have lived in a Madonna era.
The title track is the carrier single of the compilation which pays homage to Madonna impressive dance-oriented hits such as Vogue, Deeper and Deeper to the latter ones like Hung Up. She made a wise choice in doing a collab with Paul Oakenfold for this track. Though the video version used the Benassi mix for a more club-themed feel. Personally I like both versions but I like the Benassi mix better because of it electro rich sound. The Benassi mix sounds very Euro-electro no wonder the song is a much bigger hit in other parts of the world compared to US.

This video compilation is her most extensive to date. Although it may look like this 2-DVD disc collection has all Madonna video's released including the MTV-banned videos Erotica and Justify My love, it does not contain all Madonna videos made and released. Nonetheless, I am happy with this collection. Imagine all her rarely seen videos like True Blue, Bedtime Story and the latter videos from Music to Hard Candy era. Notice that this is her third official video compilation. If you check on the first two - Immaculate Collection: The Videos and Madonna 93:99 Video Collection, there are videos there not included on Celebration: The Video Collection. MVs like Bad Girl, Crazy For You, Fever, Nothing Really Matters, You'll See, etc. Madonna's label was wise enough not to include all videos in order for one to secure all three video collections -- just like me.
