Madonna - Holiday (Live Aid 1985) 

2024 anyone?

Singing and dancing .. no autotune … that’s a true performer.

Madonna is one of the greatest performers ever in my opinion. She is a great dancer

Madonna's mic was on baby! Full out singing and dancing non-stop. No lip-syncing on that Live Aid stage. I remember these performances like it was yesterday. What a time to be alive!

All that moving, dancing, and really singing...no voice-overs, no lip syncing, no tapes to fill in....this is the real deal. To sing and be winded takes strength, stamina, and training. She is basically singing while leading an aerobics class! Amazing! I loved being in my 20s in the '80's! Best decade ever for music.

I was so young when I was diagnosed with an incurable disease. I had a rare form of Cancer your music gave me an inspiration to live. I would listen to your music through my headphones on the cancer floor of hospital made me strong. I was 18. I'm 55 now. Thank u

Truly a living musical legend. One day we will all look back and be amazed by her musical ability. She truly is one of a kind.

At that wonderful time, I was 16 years old. Our 80s are the most beautiful years of joy and happiness. I would like to go back there 😭

1980 people: the future will be awesome! 2020 people: I want to go back to COOL 80s

She killed it here. Singing, dancing, in general just charisma and confidence!!! Love her here

Those many people, without a cellphone, all ears to the artist.

If you are listening to this in 2022, you are a living legend

A young 25 year old Madonna has the energy of 4 people. Truly inspiring.

This is the Madonna I love - takes me back to my childhood… fun times… look at all those people in the audience…fabulous 🎉

Better times... nothing compares!!! The 1980's!!! 🥺😭😭

I love this song, her very first big hit! I taught aerobics to this, got my college degree, married the LOVE OF MY LIFE, all in the mid eighties! I married the most handsome, sexy, sweet man that God ever lut on this earth in 1985. He passed away from cancer, a brain tumor. In March of 2012. He was/is my soulmate, and he always took me out dancing, we got dressed UP & GOT DOWN!!! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN, 80's music takes me too my happy places! I am 60 now, but I crank it up and dance like I am 22!

No auto tune, no garbage, no nastiness, no gross lyrics. She is singing and dancing!

This performance goes to show you how legendary Madonna is! No autotune or lip-syncing.

CAN WE ALL JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND TOTALLY GIVE THOSE 2 YOUNG MEN MAJOR PROPS AND APPRECIATION???? THEY ARE KILLING IT RIGHT ALONG WITH HER!!!!💯🎶🎯🔥💥💣

The energy of this performance is unique!!!

A legend was born. How can someone sing like this while dancing...amazing

In 1985 there were 100.000 people, 40 years later in Copacabana Brazil more than 1.600.000 people. Nobody does it like her ❤

Her confidence is off the charts and was what made her so attractive as an artist. Back in 84, as a 12-year old. I was crazy about „Holiday“, still all those years later a great, catchy song.

I remembered watching on TV the live entire show. Good memories.

Real voice, 2 dancers and no background screens or special effect lightings, Just pure raw and the crowd went wild about her.

This is why Madonna is the queen of Pop

I was there and she was fabulous, so natural chatting with the crowd and the dancing, just great.

For us, new generations, it feels so fantastic and inspiring to have the priceless oportunity to see a young Madonna full of power and passion teaching us how an artist must behave on stage. Almost 40 years later since this performance, she still continues giving us lessons in every act of her. Long live the queen. 💛

Madonna looks happier and the world too in the time.

I love how she sounds so good LIVE …. Just a great example of a true artist…. The 80’s had the best artists and the most talented musicians

Amazing that she was not only actively dancing the whole time but singing, too! No backing tracks, autotune, or vocoder. Just her natural vocals and the absolutely contagious confidence to match. Her backup dancers were on point the whole time as well!

The 80's, those were the days! But, we lived through all the music that made everyone great! We wouldn't trade that for anything, was so awesome!🤗🤩

It's easy to see why she emerged as the biggest star of the 80's. Her enthusiasm was infectious. She managed to make every girl feel like a best friend while making every guy feel like they had a chance!

I watched bohemian rhapsody and now I’m watching all the performances. Beautiful!!!

Keys and drums are absolutely stellar! Gives me goosebumps

Singing and dancing her choreographies, without playback...that was the Madonna of the 80s. The best

I remember watching this live on my Panasonic big screen television back in 1985, Madonna killed it!!! Her energy is just phenomenal!!!

I can't believe how incredibly in shape she was. She's literally dancing and singing non stop and you can't even hear in her voice that she's out of breath. This was when she was about to go Sky Hi. Those were such great times!

Already fully headed towards what the future held for her, becoming the Queen of Pop, thank you Madonna!

Yep I'm here still loveing Madonna music 😊

God knows I miss these days! Everybody was talented. They all had their own style, look and most of all, THEIR OWN SOUND!!!!!! She's up here killing it, while singing in perfect pitch, while setting the stage to become the icon she is today! This generation has NO CLUE what real talent is anymore!

1985 - this performance is awesome! 2020 - this performance is awesome! 2030 - this performance is awesome!

Awesome...Madonna giving it all she's got. Back in the 80's live shows didn't get any more real than this... No pre-recorded tracks or lip syncing, just straight-up performing using all the talent one had at that precise moment and hoping for the best.

Madonna is sooo iconic!!! She's like. The 80s!!!!

Love her beautiful smile when she turns round in the beginning , she looks so happy . She is so enthusiastic in this performance & is a lot of fun 🤩💖

Madonna is a perfect example of beauty with brain

I love Madonna's natural, inhibited joy of performing! It's still energizes me with a smile. It certainly helps living in NYC (temporarily) in 2023.

This was what was on when I first tuned on that day almost 40 years ago. Hard to Believe it, I'll never forget it.

Ahh the 80's. I was 15 years old and watched this on TV live. Awesome 80's.

The 80s was Madonna's best version.

Madonna these days was beautiful and her performance was amazing!

She is a great performer. She's all over that stage and singing. Love me some Madonna. I remember she was IT back in the day ❤

I saw this broadcast live on MTV on July 13th, 1985. I was 18 and newly graduated from high school. Those were some of the best times of my life.

Cantar y bailar sin desafinar , una genia eterna!!

Loved those energy in live performances back then. Raw, Authentic artist and talents 💖

Such a beauty and talent. She’s actually SINGING while dancing !!! Privilege to watch her

Massive amount of people, no guns, no hate, no stampede, just the love of music.

Magic. Re-discovering how fabulous she and the times were. Love love ❤️

I love Madonna and her music and spirit and charisma when she dances.

La mejor cantante de todos los tiempo

Madonna really has a very high level of energy....mind blowing ... Truly appreciably

Damn, 80’s were the best era 😭

Dançar e cantar?! Sem backup você?! Amo essa mulher ❤

Do Live Aid 1985 a Copacabana Brasil 2024, uma carreira vitoriosa. 🎉🎉. .Madonna campeã das campeãs.❤❤

Madonna's enjoying herself here. Great smile and super moves. Just what was needed at Live Aid.

The sound of the eighties lifts me all the time ♥️

She is gonna be still the original. Love her ❤❤❤❤

Still ruling the world 🤷🏾‍♂️💘💐👑

She was completely in her sweet spot right here. Never as good, and would never be any better. This was the Madonna that took the world by storm.

If we took a holiday to 1985 it would be so nice.

I remember an interview with Kate Bush, where she was, asked her thoughts on Madonna. She said that she doesn’t know much about Madonna, but that she saw her on live aid and thought that she was really good! Whenever I watch this, I always remember that this is what Kate Bush saw.

This was all live vocals. No backing track. She truly is underated as a singer. Whenever there's a best singers list she's never there. Its all about hitting the highest notes and vocal gymnastics but its never about singing with real physical techniques like this. And besides, her range from singing pop, dance, r&b, jazz, rock, folk, and standards is as varied as that of Linda Ronstadt's anthology.

Madonna kills it! Love the way she comes on stage... swaying and smiling, so full of life and energy! Seems happy and takes me back to such a wonderful period in this crazy life! Thank you Madonna! What a perfect moment in time! I’ve watched this about 100 times now... never gets old! 💯 Still better than any of the crap put out today!

One of her best songs. Madonna was unimaginably gorgeous and showed that she can do cardio and sing. Live Aid was a once in a lifetime event.

This is the time when songs were sung and written to last forever. It is interesting that songs that are 40-50 years old are still listened to today. I'm just wondering if today's songs will be loved and sung like these today? Heavy!

O começo do meteoro que veio mudar o mundo da música e alegrar nossas vidas pra sempre......te amo Madonna.❤❤❤

She's so amazing and true legend... singing and dancing live with all her energy!!!

The energy of how happy she was up there..... Omg she is a legend she is Queen of Pop and she from my state Michigan

I watch this one each and every day I love it!!!! Makes me feel better about me!!!!! Thanks Ms Madonna!!!! You are amazing!!!!

I love when Madonna is just singing and having fun and not trying to provoke or shock...

No lip syncing there Baby!!! She was and will forever be awesome 👏🏼 👍🏼🙏🏼❤️

Cantar con potencia y bailando a la vez esos pasos que gastan energía...waooo❤ ahora entiendo porque es la reina ❤🎉🎉🎉

There is not one Female performer to date who had the Popularity explosion Madonna had in 1984 and 1985. Nobody. Those who were alive then, can not dispute that weather you like her or not. She was HUGE and that was an understatement. You could not turn the radio on without hearing one of her songs. I think that fact in 2023 she is still the biggest selling female recording artist in history is mute testimony of this fact.

Man !! She killed it!!! Her voice sounds amazing while dancing!!! Wow I forgot how great she is

Madonna in a live performance is out of this world. In this live aid performance she raises the bar so high that it is practically impossible for any modern female singer to match the non stop dancing while singing without autotune 🔥🔥🔥. Amazing breath control. If any of these modern female singers tries this without auto tune singing and dancing nonstop and then compare this to this live performance you will then appreciate the greatness of this singer. Madonna is simply the best.

Good old 80's...gotta love the music...pure, genuine and beautiful❤

Epic! 💯 Michael's Drummer - 'Sugarfoot' - glad I grew up with Live Aid.

she sounds great here....especiailly moving around the way she is. Pop stars today don't even try what she's doing here with her voice.

Madonna in 1985 was the hottest new star on the planet. I was 14 and me and my friends absolutely loved her. She had an energy and sass and style we'd never really seen before.

Being a teenager in the 1980s was the best. I can’t believe that 1984 was 40 years ago. Doesn’t seem possible. I was 16 in 1984 and turned 17 the end of July.

those backing dancers need a massive clap too

Aqui novamente em 2022, a nostalgia continua!!! Grande sucesso dos anos 80 aqui no Brasil !!

We can turn this world around, and bring back all of those happy days...

Watched the concert noon til midnight still one of the best days ive had on the planet. Music certainly can bring people together. I wish this could happen again.

La Reina.... Madonna ..eres lo máximo.. gracias por tu música 😊

smiling , dancing, singing and dressed to kill...what a quadruple threat...she's amazing and all live and sweaty..just incredible to watch, she is a bella donna

That girl OWNED the 80's and 90's. Barely a year missed without one OR MORE hits on the charts. (Correction Madonna was second to Whitney in the 80s) And the true happiness in her smile, this is only like 3 years into her hit run.....

WOW Great performance Its impossible to dance and sing and sound that good Sir Sugarfoot as always on point

a song that lifts your spirit throughout your life

she can sing she can act and she can dance. she truly is the queen of rock and roll.
