Madonna - Dark Ballet
Im Video selbst wird einmal mehr Madonnas Kampf mit der katholischen Kirche ausgefochten, sie selbst ist im Clip jedoch (fast) nicht präsent. Die Hauptrolle übernimmt der US-Rapper Mykki Blanco in der Rolle der Joan Of Arc, von der auch ein Zitat am Anfang eingeblendet wird: "One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying". Am Ende findet sich dann eine Aussage von Blanco:
"I have walked this earth, Black, Queer and HIV Positive, but no transgression against me has been as powerful as the hope I hold within.".
Zu dem Konzept erklärt Madonna, sie bewundere Joan Of Arc:
"Joan Of Arc fought the English and she won, still the French were not happy. Still they judged her. They said she was a man, they said she was a lesbian, they said she was a witch, and, in the end, they burned her at the stake, and she feared nothing. I admire that".
