Background

On March 18, 2009, Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg announced the plans for the release of a greatest hits package by September. [1] On July 22, 2009, Warner Bros. Records officially announced the release date as September 28, 2009 and confirmed the name of the album as Celebration through Madonna's official website, adding that a DVD containing Madonna's best music videos would also be released. [2] According to the official press statement, the DVD included unedited and never before seen footage of "Justify My Love", as well as the completed video of the single "Celebration". [2] The music videos included on the DVD were selected by Madonna and her fans through her official website Icon. [3] The cover for Celebration was created by street pop artist Mr. Brainwash who is best known for "throwing modern cultural icons into a blender and turning it up to eleven". [2] The compilation included the music videos of "Burning Up", "Into the Groove", "True Blue", "Who's That Girl", "Erotica", "Deeper and Deeper", "I Want You", "I'll Remember" and "American Pie", which were previously never included in any of Madonna's DVDs. [4] It also included the award-winning music videos – "Like a Virgin", "Papa Don't Preach", "Open Your Heart", "Like a Prayer", "Express Yourself", "Vogue", "Rain", "Take a Bow", "Frozen", "Ray of Light", "Beautiful Stranger", "Music", "Don't Tell Me" and "Hung Up". [5] [6] "Justify My Love" and "Erotica" were banned by MTV for their sexually provocative themes. [7] The video is presented in 4:3 aspect ratio, with the widescreen videos windowboxed. [8]

Pitchfork 5.7/10 [10]

Douglas Wolk from Pitchfork Media commented that the DVD was "a lot closer to the mark [of celebrating Madonna's career]. A lot of the fun of her career has always been its visual side." [10] Don Shewey from Rolling Stone said, "The video exemplified the fact that there's no-one like Madonna, who can turn the music video in to an art-form." [11] Chad Presley from Blogcritics felt that, "There's a healthy dose of nostalgia involved in watching these videos for anyone who grew up during the 1980s in particular. [...] The video quality is a mixed bag. Most of the visual problems crop up during the earlier clips, which were photographed on much more primitive equipment. [...] All things considered, especially when viewed on a Blu-ray player and hi-def TV, this is a pretty rough looking set. Even some of the later videos have an excess of visual noise and are lacking in sharpness." [8] Monica Herrera from Billboard was not impressed with the collection and was disappointed with the "dull quality of the videos. The collection is a probable shame in Madonna's catalogue, but a great one for her fans." [12] Bönz Malone from Spin said, "Celebration: The Video Collection is a reminder that Madonna is, and always will be, a true video artist. You cannot ignore her contribution to the music video art form." [13] Tim Sendra from Allmusic gave the DVD four and a half stars out of five, and commented that "it is indeed a celebration of Madonna's career and some of the most celebratory and thrilling pop music ever created." [9]
