2. Madonna’s – Like A Prayer
 Lyrics – Whilst listening to the lyrics we could hear that
they have words which resemble a sexual manner or is it
being portrayed in religious manner .
 For Example;
 ‘Life's is a mystery, everyone must stand alone, I hear you call
my name, And it feels like home.’ – This shows that she is
standing alone and portrays a sad emotion.
 When you call my name like a little prayer, I’m down on my
knees. – this portrays a double meaning in one, e.g. it could
stand for a religious manner or it could stand for a very sexual
manner.

3. Madonna – Like A Prayer Pt.2
 Watching the music video, loads of mortifies where being played and
directed in the music video, For example;
 Fragmentation : of the burning cross which mainly focuses on it and causes a
lot of controversy.
 Impossible sequence – slow motion burning items, this is also controversial as
the cross is being portrayed in a devilish way.
 Ritual Celebration – this shows that the black people are very happy and the
white artist is usually domestic.
 Post apocalyptic – shows the seen as hell or the end of the world, in this video
it is controversial because it is being depicted near and inside a church.
 Sexual Objectification – she is being portrayed in a sexual manner and wearing
barely any clothes, in a church, this is very controversial as she is selling for sex
in the church.
 Break in the narrative –she breaks from the narrative as if she has woken up
which gives an excuse for the controversy.
