At first, Papa Roach figured they'd simply switch locations, but all the other bridges in the city could not be shut down on the dates of the shoot (August 8 and 9). The band didn't want to shoot in another city because the performance shots required audiences, and the Roach wanted to use their hometown fans. Finally, they decided to do away with the bridge-jumping scene altogether, perhaps figuring an overhead helicopter, rambunctious kayakers and rocky terrain provided enough visual stimulation.

The video, directed by the Malloys (Blink-182, Avril Lavigne), depicts the group playing an impromptu show for their fans on a bridge. When police try to shut them down, Papa Roach move further down the bridge and out of the officers' grasp. Finally, the band shuts down the bridge entirely, preventing the cops any access whatsoever. During the clip, a throng of rabid fans gather to rock out, some kayaking over from the shore and settling on the rocks to enjoy the performance.

Released as the album's second single in mid-1986, it saw commercial success, becoming Madonna's fourth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100; "Papa Don't Preach" also performed well internationally, reaching the top position in the United Kingdom and Australia. It was lauded by contemporary critics, who noted an artistic growth in Madonna's work, and frequently cited it as a highlight in the album and a milestone in her career. The music video, directed by James Foley, shows the singer in her first "head-to-toe" image makeover, with a leaner, more toned body, and cropped platinum blonde hair. Its main storyline had Madonna trying to tell her father, played by actor Danny Aiello, about her pregnancy. The scenes are juxtaposed with shots of her dancing and singing in a small, darkened studio, and spending a romantic evening with her boyfriend, played by Alex McArthur.

The lyrics talk about a girl who tells her father that she is pregnant and refuses to have an abortion or give up the baby for adoption, despite her friends' advice.[18] The title is a request for the narrator's father not to lecture; later lyrics ask him to bless the relationship. The track is constructed in a verse-chorus form, with a bridge before the third and final chorus; at the beginning, she addresses her father directly, asking him to talk to her as an adult, "You should know by now that I'm not a baby". The transition to the chorus employs a more dramatic voice with a higher range, ending nearly in cries as she sings the word "Please". Leading to the chorus, Madonna switches to a pleading voice, singing the song's main hook in a high tone. During the bridge, the song features a Spanish-inspired rhythm, one of the earliest examples of the influence that Hispanic music had on Madonna's musical style.[17]

According to Gay Star News' Joe Morgan, "Papa Don't Preach" is the singer's tenth best single, while the HuffPost's Matthew Jacobs ranked it her 14th, highlighting its "sweeping string arrangement" as "one of pop music's most engaging openings".[39][40] Nayer Missim from PinkNews named it the third best song of Madonna's discography; "a rare example of Madonna-as-storyteller [...] Unfairly dismissed (or claimed) as a pro-life anthem, its lyrics are much more personal, open and interesting than that", Missim wrote.[41] For Stereogum's Tom Breihan, "Papa Don't Preach" is an example of "how Madonna, a technically limited singer, could always capture the feeling of a song".[42] At the 29th Grammy Awards, "Papa Don't Preach" was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance but lost to Barbra Streisand's The Broadway Album.[43][44]

The video received positive reviews from critics. According to the staff of Rolling Stone, it was the moment Madonna began "treating the music video concept as more of a short film than promotional clip";[74] they also applauded her "rather unglamorous" look for fitting "nicely" with the song's subject matter.[83] For Hal Marcovitz, author of The History of Music Videos (2012), it marked a "sharp departure" from what the public was used to seeing in the singer's videos up until that point; "in most of her videos [she] promoted her sex appeal, usually strutting through her tightly choreographed dances in stiletto heels and barely-there costumes".[84] Retrospective reviews have named it one of Madonna's best music videos: Idolator's Mike Neid placed it in the fourth position of his ranking, highlighting the singer's onscreen relationship with her father and applauding her for "showing off a more serious side of her artistry".[85] For The Odyssey, Rocco Papa also named it Madonna's fourth best and singled out the views of New York City.[86] It came in the sixteenth and tenth positions of the rankings created by The Backlot and Rolling Stone, respectively;[83] for the former, Louis Virtel said that "the urgency in her performance makes this video, as well as the climactic hug in the last second of the story".[87] Sal Cinquemani, on a Billboard article enlisting the singer's nine most controversial music videos, deemed it her "first bona-fide video controversy".[88] At the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, "Papa Don't Preach" won Best Female Video, and was nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Overall Performance.[89]

In contrast, groups opposed to abortion saw "Papa Don't Preach" as a positive, anti-abortion song. Susan Carpenter-McMillan, the president of the California chapter of Feminists for Life (FFL) in the US, said that "abortion is readily available on every street corner for young women. Now what Madonna is telling them is, hey, there's an alternative".[96] Tipper Gore, a founder of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), who had previously denounced Madonna for perceived sexual content in her single "Dress You Up" and had led a campaign against explicit content in music, applauded the singer for speaking candidly about a serious subject; "['Papa Don't Preach'] speaks to a serious subject with a sense of urgency and sensitivity in both the lyrics and Madonna's rendition. It also speaks to the fact that there's got to be more support and more communication in families about this problem, and anything that fosters that I applaud".[97][98]

Composer Brian Elliot also weighed in: "I just wanted to make this girl in the song a sympathetic character. As a father myself, I'd want to be accessible to my children's problems".[2] Danny Aiello, having appeared in the video as the titular "Papa", recorded "Papa Wants the Best for You" later that year, an answer song written by Artie Schroeck from the father's point of view; he even asked Madonna to participate in a music video for the song, but she turned the offer down.[99][74] Madonna did not comment on the song's use as a pro-life statement; her publicist Liz Rosenberg said that "[she] is singing a song, not taking a stand [...] her philosophy is people can think what they want to think".[100]

To promote the release, Osbourne shot a music video for the song in Los Angeles, which was directed by Marcos Siega;[128] she then sang it live at the MTV Movie Awards, where her father introduced her to the audience.[126] Critical reviews were generally mixed: Billboard's Chuck Arnold considered it an "aggressive post-punk anthem" that's "certainly good for three minutes of steering-wheel banging on the way to the market".[129] NME's Peter Robinson, on the other hand, said it made "precisely zero sense", and criticized the presence of Incubus for making "the whole sorry mess barely distinguishable".[130] Entertainment Weekly's Rob Brunner was also negative on his review, dismissing the cover as "unnecessary".[131] Despite lukewarm reviews from critics, the single was commercially successful: it peaked at number three in the United Kingdom and Australia, where it was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for having sold over 70,000 units.[132][133][134] Furthermore, Osbourne's version reached the top 40 in Austria, Germany, Italy, and New Zealand, the top 20 in Sweden, and the top 10 in Ireland and Finland.[135][136][137]

Sasha McVeigh was born to be on the stage. As early as Sasha can remember, she was singing and dancing to Country music in her Hereford, England home. Little did she know that 20 years later she would be living in Nashville, TN chasing her dreams and designing her promising career.

"I've put so much of my life into my music," says Taryn, "and a responsibility to those who didn't get out of their hometown. I want to succeed for them. I want to share our story through my music." Well said lady!

Papa Rap joined the Springdale School District in 2000 and has been a growing presence in the area ever since. Most Springdale students can remember a time he visited their school with congo drums in tow and turned a dull day into an explosion of music, drums and bilingual lyrics. Singing in Spanish and English, Papa Rap breezes through complicated issues like immigration, language acquisition, violence and bullying.

Though his role within Springdale and Northwest Arkansas has grown beyond his music, Papa Rap remains a musician at heart. His future plans include writing a series of songs for Pre-K through 3rd grade in Spanish and English that focuses on reading concepts, reinforcing what children are learning in school and teaching another language at the same time. 17dc91bb1f
