As for MADONNA, PEOPLE MAGAZINE reports, "Before presenting video of the year to CAMILA CABELLO, MADONNA delivered a speech in which she outlined the role ARETHA FRANKLIN had played in launching her own career. 'ARETHA LOUISE FRANKLIN changed the course of my life. I left DETROIT when I was 18. Thirty-five dollars in my pocket. My dream was to make it as a professional dancer. After years of struggling and being broke, I decided to go to auditions for musical theater,' she said. Further discussing her past experience, MADONNA recalled her early years as a struggling artist."

But many viewers and artists took to social media to complain the speech seemed to be more about THE MATERIAL GIRL than THE QUEEN OF SOUL.
