For over 30 years, she manages to hold the attention of the public with new, for some, shocking images and looks. They regularly extracts itself thus the anger of one or more (often Christian) organizations on the neck and even the Pope answer when the music video for Like a Prayer came out to dance in which they kissed for burning crosses state and is referred to by a "dark" Jesus. Other infamous video clips are those of Express yourself (SM and bondage), Justify my love (the first clip ever to be broadcast only after 11 p.m. on MTV) and Erotica those images shows of her project; the book Sex in which they can be seen in several erotic nude settings that the fantasies of alter-ego "Dita" portraying.

In 1990, Madonna after her Blond Ambition Concert in Toronto almost arrested because in the performance of Like a Virgin was a masturbation scene. TheBlond Ambition Tour is later featured in the documentary In bed with Madonna in which she gives a look behind the scenes of the tour and among other things shows how she gives a blow-job from a bottle.

The original clip was an indictment of the war in Iraq and the administration of then-president Bush and showed among others Iraqi, Palestinian and Jewish children between soldiers on the catwalk. The clip ends with Madonna who throws a hand grenade in the audience who is captured by Bush. The following rel is formed by the tongue kiss with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera during the opening of the MTV Awards.

But she also used her popularity to draw attention to the problems in the world, again using controversy and shocking images. As with the implementation of ' Live To Tell ' during her Confessions Tour, where they quasi-hanging on a glitter cross complete with Crown of thorns sings while images of aids children and Bible texts in the background can be seen. Religious organizations around the world have protested and called it blasphemy, according to the artist himself, it was a call to the global problem awareness of aids .
