Madonna Live Week! #4 - Like a Virgin (Live Blond Ambition Tour) 

98% of everything she does ages so well and is SO iconic.

And that ladies and gentlemen is why Madonna will always be the greatest of all time 🥇

The best sequence of all tours: Like A Virgin Like a Prayer Live To Tell Oh Father Papa Don't Preach 👑

You are right about her voice. She’s not considered a great singer but noone sings like her. You know it’s her when you hear it. I love it

Madonna sooner or later performance from the Oscar is amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That was 1990. Absolutely ahead of her time and noone has ever come close to doing anything like it onstage again. No one compares.

Did you notice what the voice at the end said? It said: "God?" and Madonna stops and watches towards the sky. The "God?" is the real introduction to the next song "Like a Prayer". This performance was fire, it was so dangerous and mysterious back in 1990 when she shocked the world with this! :) For me, this is the ultimate pop concert: the amount of pop classics, the amount of global number one´s, the story arch, the commentary on love, religioun, sex, safe sex and family. No-one before her was this relevant, futuristic, dangerous, open and honest, and no-one has been able to top this since. Not even Madonna herself :)

Madonna The Best female performer ever

Confessions tour opening “future lovers” is insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Queen of Pop. This was an event.

I just wish the video didn’t end. The transition into Like A Prayer is awesome! I saw this concert both nights in Toronto. Unknown to me at the time, the police were there to arrest her at the second show because of all the Karens that complained about her, touching herself during this performance. 😆

The 'hand dancing' is called vogue or voguing originating in the late 80 gay clubs. Madonna made it popular with her song Vogue

Madonna used her vocals weaknesses and made them her strengths. She always said she is not the best vocalist but she was smart enough to know it and uses her best abilities.

I love her live vocals here, on this song. And I love how you KNOW that she's singing live. Her band on this tour was bad ass as well. 🔥

“That really picked up at the end.” LOL. Love it.

I was 12 years old when I saw this performance. I was in complete and utter shock and bewilderment. It was awe-inducing and highly controversial for its time. She was so ahead of her time.

I was 16 years old when I saw his concert!!! I begged my mom to get tickets and she did! There was so much controversy around this concert and THIS performance - it was all over the news. When we went to see it the concert, my mom tried to cover my eyes throughout the entire performance of this! LOL Such a great first show. This concert was the driving force for me to come out in 1990 as a gay teen (it was the men in he cone bras and the buldges!! lol). Not the easiest time to come out as a gay teenager, but I am thankful Madonna gave me a push in the right direction. And yes, Madonna always gets crap for her "poor vocals" but I am with you - she has a great pop voice and it's one of a kind. Love her voice and her voice(like her image and music) evolved throughout her career. Keep doing Madonna videos! The more you watch her the more you will fall in love with her.

The current music industry can't serve that level of excitement and titillation

You really must watch the entire segment (Like a Virgin, Like a Prayer, Live to Tell/Oh Father, and Papa Don't Preach). It's tells a whole story and totally revoluntionized (is that a word?) the pop concert.

This performance almost got her arrested in Toronto!

You must see confession tour is the best tour live ever❤

I saw her in December & she referenced this performance directly in front of me 😭🔥👏🏾 Love Madonna!!!

She sang the fuck outta that....10s across the board...and that crowd was into it AF

The performance that almost got her arrested in Canada.

This is maybe her best performance ever

One of the most iconic performances of hers! ❤

This is the performance that made me a lifelong fan at the age of 10

The cone bras and the basques were Jean Paul Gaultier. This Madonna period was about those particular shapes and designs (and he designed all her tour outfits) and the vogueing which the dancers are doing. It was all very iconic

Legendonna at her best

All Hail the Queen!! Her Madgesty

I was 20 when i saw his tour in LA. She was absolutely at the top of her game. The city was a buzz all week and Vogue was topping the charts then. This version slayed. Blond Ambition is the blueprint for every live show today by solo pop stars. She wrote the book. She’s still writing chapters.

Madonna is the Queen of Pop ❤🎉

I wasn't a fan of Madonna's until at 17 a couple friends got me to watch TRUTH OR DARE with them. This was the first version of the song I ever heard. Became a fan after seeing that film though.

Live to tell Confessions tour next one......

The cone bra is so famous in pop culture as much is the Marilyn Monroe dress in happy birthday mister president.

Madonna almost got arrested for this.

The back up dancers were Jose and Luis of the House of Extravaganza, they helped choreograph Vogue and those were their moves, Madonna found them in the NY gay clubs, they were part of the ballroom scene, which is where the vogueing moves you're referring to, like the duck walking squats and other moves you've seen in drag shows originate :)

I used to recreate this video with two pointed cabbages working in the fruit and veg department of a supermarket...

1:46 is when the guy on the left GETS IT! Awestruck. Love this arrangement, the belting chorus, the middle-eastern elements and the SHOCK. Truly theatrical, artistic stuff for a live concert. Stunning vocals too. 9:39 That was abrupt! lol Try youtubing Vincent Patterson's interview about how he choreographed this - with the male Eunichs and he basically suggested to Madonna: put the cone bras on the men and she was like YES!

Madonna i don't give a from MDNA tour. It's fantastic

you guys are sooo cool. pls more madonna

Omg top 5 of best performaces from madge

I did NOT expect the “Why can’t we just pray each other to life?” 😂😂😂

Excellent. 🔥🔥🔥

She's definitely the Queen.❤❤❤❤

The mutha fucking GOAT

Loving you Madonna vids 🎉

She nearly got arrested for this. Watch the documentary ”In bed with Madonna”.

Madonna music from the drowned world tour and ray of light are gold

Madonna does not have powerful voice like Whitney and others, but many times she is singing notes that no one would have thought of but her.

The squatted walk is called the duck walk, and it's part of voguing.

What you are describing is called duck walking, and it’s one of the five essential elements in voguing. The hand motions the dancers do is another vogue element, so yes, they are related and from the same dance genre. Madonna of course sings about this in Vogue, which brought ball culture to the mainstream. Yah, the video cuts short because she immediately launches into Like a Prayer after this. It’s a whole story arc of sexual awakening, followed by religious themes of shame and regret, which ends with Papa Don’t Preach where she sings about keeping her baby. The BA tour was the first to really showcase themes and theatrical performance with pop music and dance. It completely changed how artists since put on tours, and frankly, no one’s done it better than her. This performance almost got her arrested in Toronto for ‘performing lewd acts’ based on some prudes complaint to the police, however the police backed off once they saw she was defiantly going to stand behind her artistic vision.

“You better walk that mother fucking duck walk” Anetra ❤

Love seeing this. It makes me think of all the live performances of hers that I’ve loved. Best vocal live performance: sooner or later - MTV awards Best dance break: La Isla Bonita - Girlie Show Best live staging: Future Lovers - Confession Tour Most energetic performance: Into the Groove - Who’s that Girl tour Best live costume: VOGUE - MTV awards

BEST LIVE / REMIX of LIKE A VIRGIN (ALSO the REMIX she for THE REBEL HEART TOUR) 🎉🎉

I mean, you may as well just watch the next song on the set list now because it’s an awesome performance

She often re styles Like a Virgin. In The Girlie show she sung it Marlene Dietrich style

“Oh my stars” 😂💯😂 I had NO business singing this as a 9 yo but I sure was 😂 Had no idea what I was singing, but I was 🤣

You can notice the rasping voice from her live cause the consecutive concerts, later she run without any voice. Can see it in Truth or Dare documentary 💪🏻

Right before she went on stage the Toronto police said they'd arrest her if she simulated self pleasure on stage and she laughed.

Fire ❤️🔥

the duck walk 😅

Do something else, do my eye brows MADONNA Louise VC

You have to watch Like A Prayer and the whole section that follows this to make sense of the performance.

you HAVE to react to the next song in this concert, Like A Prayer. To me, it's Madonna's best live performance ever! Well, also Music from Drown World Tour too. She's so iconic!

SO FUCKING GOOD. 💯

For this performance in Toronto they wanted to arrest her.

🐐🐐🐐🐐

The 2 dancers Luis and Josie with the bed here are the original ‘voguers’ they didn’t quite invent Vogueing but Madonna spotted them in a club and took them on tour then released the single Vogue while on tour

me encanta ver cuando se reviven estos iconicos momentos de Madonna desde otras miradas, gracias por compartir estos momentos mágicos, un abrazo chicos!!

👑👑

Esta versión de Like a virgin ya pertenece al reino de los cielos... Tan ICÓNICA!!!

Da BOMB 💥

i love your madonna reaction

I hope you guys cover Madonna's "Music Inferno" from her Confessions Tour. There are so many great "Live" Madonna performances......you might have to do a 2nd week of Madonna 😀

The Best Live: Shanti Asthangi/ Ray Of Light (MTV Awards 1998)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooner or Later at the Oscars

Now after you guys watch the Like a Virgin Performance you should React to Blonde Ambition "Like a Prayer" Performance because it is masterpiece 🔥

In the documentary Truth Or Dare she is shown backstage before this exact show and she was being threatened with arrest if she performed this number. Backstage at the show in Toronto, CA. She literally said "I don't care, I'm not changing my F'in show Freddy" (Her manager) she didn't get arrested. It ended abruptly, but not on stage. The last word you hear as she is looking up is "God?" and it immediately goes into the best live version of Like A Prayer..

Would love to see you react to her performance of Future Lovers which opened her Confessions Tour. the intro + song itself is amazing. Live to Tell from this tour is also essential, showing her more political side.

❤❤❤❤

I think that the hand movements in the choreographed performance is a snake charming dance. It used to be called snake charming

Try watching her song 'Why's it so hard " from her Girlie show tour. Definately as out there as Like A virgin blonde ambition.

When they did this routine in Canada they threatened to arrest her for lude behaviour one of many reasons I love her!

The dancers are voguing which is a house dance that originated in Harlem in the NYC underground gay ballroom scene (drag balls) in the 1980s among black and Latinos

So she had to cancel shows in italy due to the vatican banning her shows. The whole tour was amazing i managed to see it 6 times in London , Barcelona, and Nice.. Still one of the best concerts ever.

You guys are so cute ❤

She did that alot on her tours she changed the songs from the albums for the tours.

The hand dancing is vogueing, they more use it i. The video song of her VOGUE 🥰🤩 ahead of time😍

I know exactly what you mean in that signature nasally thing sound she had back then, and she also had that Celine Dion opened clenched jaw “urrrrr” (I’m NOT saying her singing talent is up there w Celine). She sounded like that up until Evita where she had vocal lessons to teach her how to use her whole upper body to sing, whereas I think her voice previously was predominantly head voice.

Her dad came to see this show and afterward said maybe she could tone it down 🤣

👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

I love you joeeeeeeeeee ah ah ah ah from France

🎉✨❤️‍🔥✨

hand dancing is called vogueing

Please react to Madonna "Gang Bang" live MDNA TOUR

I wonder if you will watch the Brits awards performance 🤔

She was famously threatened with arrest if she performed this segment in one city - I believe it was Toronto - for violating public decency laws by simulating masturbation. Not only did she perform it live, she ot all filmed and shown in her epic documentary, ‘Truth or Dare’. PS - They didn’t arrest her. They realized it would bring them more negative publicity than letting her perform

Do a Madonna videography journey guys. We garantee the wies

The performance forever known as “the masturbation scene”. Voguing is the dance you are referring to which she plucked from the gay ballroom scene and brought it to the mainstream with the song “Vogue”. Madonna actually had laryngitis for much of this tour.
