XXL Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Isn't this the one where Nikki Harris enthusiastically describes how much Madonna loved Dennis Rodman's big *feet*? VH1 Driven shits all over this imo, although we have yet to see a proper, interesting and well-done documentary on her childhood, early years and her rise to fame.

DIRTY PIG Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 nikki harris is not in this one. this is one of the only credible ones, very informative. Driven is shit compared to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXL Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 nikki harris is not in this one. this is one of the only credible ones, very informative. Driven is shit compared to this one. Oh I see, maybe I got confused, I'll recheck it then. Did CH4 's Naked Ambition come out in 2004 or before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I thought it was relatively recent, like after Hung Up but it isn't.. I must've saw a repeat. Think the Nikki one was a rubbish BBC one, not even the main BBC channels, BBC3 or something and Nikki was in that with Menly C and Shitney Tears singing. Grim. MADONNA: NAKED AMBITION The true story of the world's biggest pop star before she was famous. UK TV special from 2000 that examines Madonna's early years in New York prior to making it big featuring extremely rare interviews with former manager Camille Barbone; grafitti artist Fab 5 Freddy; backing dancer/clubbing buddy Erica Bell; designer and friend Maripol; and former boyfriends Norriss Burroughs, Stephen Bray, Futurama 2000, Mark Kamins and Dan Gilroy, the man who forever changed the course of Madonna's life when he taught her two simple chords on the guitar and let her join his band, The Breakfast Club. Last 2 parts are missing Part 1 of 6. (Please note: This part was slightly edited to remove nudity in order to comply with YouTube guidelines. The other parts remain intact as they were from the original broadcast.. Also, I am unable to upload parts 5 & 6 of 'Naked Ambition' on YouTube due to "copyright" issues No handy playlist but you could make one to watch in sequence if you liked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXL Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 ^ Interesting but why the hell are the last 2 parts missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 If you look at the blurb he says he uploaded them to his vodspot page - and I believe I actually watched some there back in the day. But the link he gives has now been taken down (no doubt youtube/google killed that site). Annoying! And I guess the nudity that was removed was the legendary "modelling" shots? That would've at least been funny! Nudity is sometimes on youtube, definitely lots of adult content there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXL Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 ^ Here's part 5 http://lockerz.com/u..._ambition_2000_ Love the guy towards the end saying "For being a show at Danceteria, she put on an elaborate performance, we thought - wow this girl does rehearse" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Ah, I wondered why that site had changed to lockers. Looked like they had bought the URL for traffic. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXL Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 And here's part 6 http://lockerz.com/u..._ambition_2000_ I am just wondering if there's actually a video download programme that will allow me to dl the clips I've tried about 10 of them, none is working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hmm there will be.. I mean savetube is good for youtube but there will be some capture program to grab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Does anyone know where I find the last part of this documentary? I dont think the part 6 of 6 link posted above works anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 This is much much better than Driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumbleweedt Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Funny you post about the Naked Ambition doc, I watched all six episodes a couple of days ago (5 and 6 on that lockerz website). I also found it better than Driven. But also hoping for new docs that are even more comprehensive, for instance including the whole French Expedition. This one is from 2000 and includes interview snippets from Freddie DeMann. I had NEVER heard him talk about her after they went their separate ways and I would LOVE to hear more from him. Has anyone ever seen/read post-Madonna DeMann interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I uploaded my own recording of C4's "Naked Ambition" last year - you can watch all of it here: http://www.madonna-tv.com/2013/01/ambition.html (Had to use Facebook video cos YouTube wouldn't allow it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattress Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks Jamesy. This and VH1's similar Driven special from 2001 are both great overviews of her early years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
