Madonna performs 'Like A Prayer', 'Beautiful Game' and 'Hallelujah' at the 2018 MET Gala in New York. Special thanks to the Clarion Choir. Edited by Dany B. Tull.
There is no one like Madonna. Amazing what she has done, how she broke the taboos, challenged authorities, kept pushing herself, kept pushing everyone, incredible.
60 years old. So many people want to use the age number to describe that she is "old", "irrelevant", "so 80s and 90s". She has paved the American cultural society since the late 80s with tolerance and acceptance. For one specific individual to be able to accomplish what she has done, and still does, make me appreciate Madonna for her legacy past, present, and future!
TimmyME in your dreams, Madonna 300 mill, 121 n1 in the world , 22 in europe, 12 in Usa, 2 tours in first and second place, 2 songs wons Oscar, 2 golden Globe, Roll and Roll fame in Uk, 64 videos, 25 movies, etc etc etc are you sure troll?
Madonna is a born Goddess. I don't know any female artist nor actress of her power. She is everything bold, spellbounding, and in demand. Her name is Madonna for a reason.
I'm not such a huge fan of her music...I do have favorites though. I do HATE how people are so hateful since she had a bad performance. People are so mean. I think it's more than just a youtube phenomena....as bad as youtube comments can be I think people love to tear people down. We all need to stop this whenever possible.
@@heaven7360 well i agree, but where are not talking about a real artist, she think and talk as she is the best and greatest, so i'm sorry if i criticize when she do a performance really really bad. it's not helping the fact that she upload a new version of her horrible performance with autotune applied over le live autotune! c'mon!!!
She can turn "just carefully walking down the stairs" into an epic marvelous divine art. That's it, everytime I walk down the stairs I'm gonna envision this.
I loved it because I love the Lord and I think that if we trully repent, we are forgiven of all our sins. I hope that Madonna repents before too long as we are living in terrible times now, she was a self made woman and worked hard for her fortune, but only God knows her heart as he does all of our human hearts! God Bless all my human family and bring peace to a hostile world ~
Her outfit from 5:55 onwards is an homage to Brunhilde, one of the strongest female opera characters ever created. She defies the authority of her father Odin for love to him and to the human race, loses her immortality as punishment, becomes the lover and teacher of the greatest of the heroes (named Sigfried) and at the end sacrifies herself in the burning pyre of her lover for the sake of humanity. All that happens along three different operas by Wagner: The Walkyre (the title refers to her), Sigfried (the title refers to her lover) and Twilight of the Gods (the title refers to the death of her in the first place and the rest of the gods). The MET closed that 2018-2019 season with the performance of the whole tetralogy from March 9th to May 11th of 2019. Despite the strong tie between Madonna and Italian/Mediterranean culture, her portrayal of a such a strong and determined nordic heroine really makes sense to me.
I did not even realize that she was paying homage to Nordic legend and opera history in her outfit. Thanks for bringing that to my attention! Madonna truly is brilliant
My queen is 60 and she is still standing. Not everyone in this age can deliver what she is delivering here. She’s the true performance artist and it’s sad that our new generation don’t get to understand her legacy or not bother to. To me, she’s a legend and no one can replace her.
Madonna has impacted my life in the most positive of ways with her Artistry her humility her warmth and her sense of service to the marginalized and on the fun side the ability to dance and laugh and be joyous
@@GaryTornado-zy2mz oh puhleeeeeze.....The B can't sing any better than Madonna.....neither of them are opera singers....they sing the way most pop/rock/R&B, etc singers, sing...
Most controversial artist ever! Thats why shes the queen of pop, she paved the way for our generations artists! She always walked her own way, did things that the media didnt like. Standing up for the lgbtq community and the black community! Huge respect for this woman!
Spellbinding? Yep you never lied. Massive amounts of people under a spell believing this is entertainment when it's freaking occult rituals! Heaven and hell are real places and if you don't wake up outta the sleep these spellbinding witches do your gonna suffer in hell for eternity! Repent people repent! The kingdom of God is at hand! Jesus is coming back to wipe the world clean of these witches and warlocks
@@ryanedward9334 watch her 2019 not everyone is gonna make it into the future. She is telling you they're gonna destroy new york again! And now washington is heavily guarded? Man, wake up people they're gonna wipe america out! Are you ready to meet your Creator? Or you under massive mind control? Her skit 2019 with gas masks? New york going under water and the entire background shows complete decimation? They gotta take America out to install the NWO!!! Do you know it's printed on the money too? Jonathan Kleck had been warning it's the end of the world! Are you prepared? Are you even halfway aware? Please wake up Jesus loves you And it's not his will you perish
this just made me cry. So sad that our country is so mean, Madonna is the last megastar from the 80's alive and instead of celebrating her so many people criticize her. She is an true artist and amazing in all she does.
Well, if you only focus on the positive, and not worry about the things we can’t control, I promise all of the negativity will become worthless. Janet, Whitney, Debbie Harry, Kylie, Cyndi - the get negative press too. But when you are the biggest, you will get everything in large portions. Good and bad.
When Madonna gives a performance one becomes captivated, you can't take your eyes off her from beginning to end. One of the many star qualities that she possess since the beginning of her amazing career. Go Madonna!
People, don't get me wrong, she's the best, but it's because all of us she is not in the radio no more, buy her singles and we can put her on top again, every single artists sale guaranty their future, so buy her current single, the latest one, and for just $1.29 a single we put her back on the radio again. So let's move on and buy her singles
People can say all they want. Madonna is not the best vocalist in the world. We know this. but she does not have to be. Madonna infuses each word with emotion, which is not easy to do or fake. Her rendition of Hallelujah was not perfect pitch or anything, but it was hauntingly beautiful, it was emotional. Emotion is lacking in music today. Am glad she has never stopped.
She's never been the best vocalist, but she's an amazing performer, plays guitar, writes many of her own songs, and dances as well as sings. She's still super talented.
Been a fan since the very beginning. Have never followed her for her vocal skills. Not everyone can be a powerhouse singer, but she does have a great voice. With her it's more about the show and the art of her performances. Her music is a musical that spans decades. Her songs are like poetry, and her performances are life. I just love her and loved this performance. I don't think I've ever seen such a raw performance from her that deep, and it was amazing.
It's amazing how she has mastered her voice in time. I don't think there is anything else for her to master with her voice. She maintains that low voice throughout the song "Hallelujah" and only towards the end does she give us some different inflections. I was struggling internally wanting to hear the soprano come out of me, perhaps higher notes come out of her. But no, she remained constant. I remained quiet and listened. Never seen this video before by the way. Years of working hard and other distractions kept me from seeing so many videos and concerts. I have only recently stepped into the world of Madonna. So much for me to explore. Yes!
You forget about Michael Jackson, Queen, Abba, that are also great pop artist . Each one of them is a original and extraordinary artist in it's own class .
This woman here! Applause, Applause, Applause! She has the most Amazing body for 60 yrs old in the Industry!Madonna had broken so many barriers in the early 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s, and now through her music. She fought for rights of others and various causes. She had reincarnated herself through various albums and will always be highly respected! There will never be Anyone that can take her place! Through all the years, She still continues to shine 💫
sorry bit she has an amazing body for any age. what u talking about? lol I know 22 year olds that want her body. however I'm glad she ended weight trying and weights and embraced fem curves. Madonna finally has natural curves again.
Rarely do we get someone who continues to grow and flourish in their craft. Madonna is a force of nature that just keeps getting better and better as time goes by. She is truly a legend!
I just experienced this masterpiece for the first time. This performance was breathtaking and brought tears to my eyes. Maybe her best live vocals ever. Incredible! I love you Madonna. ❤❤❤
I literally got on my knees on praying position as I listened to this. At some point it even made my eyes get all watery. This performance is my favorite out of all madonna's performances
The thing with M's performances is that most of the times they are a shock to your senses, leave you speechless and make you think (even when she doesn't deliver the best vocals) and that's true art. ❤️
I absolutely love Madonna but the mic is clearly helping her. There is the slightest hint of autotune in it. You can definitely hear it. I definitely hear it with my headphones.
The guts this woman has, respect! Imagine this song is 33 years old, and what she had to go through in the country and internationally, including Pope John Paul II banishing her and almost banning her to perform in Italy. What an inspiration to every generation, she’s the torch bearer of women’s freedom and power. She took it all on herself but didn’t back down at any point! 🙏🏻👏
Wow I just realized her entire catalog will start logging 40 years this year and next. 1982 1983. 40 years and still relevant and the world still watches and waits for everything she does.
wow! I cant believe this is the 1st time I've seen this... been disconnected from tv and the stupid media for so long... Amazing Madonna, you, like a goddess, as always :)
@@bdmc6583 Olá! Madonna She has been a true role model to me, an encouraging and empowering one. Madame X truly has had many guises and they are all perfection!! The rollout of this album era is immaculate. I appreciate the fact the collaborations doesn't sound too extra like the previous album, Rebel Heart. Medellín 1 2 cha cha cha is iconic I Rise is uplifting, a powerful beat and lyrics Crave is dope Future is fresh and cool, Summer smash I also like Maluma feat. Madonna Soltera
I love the way she shows her soul while performing, she gives everything every time she gets on the stage. She deserves everything she fought for and way more respect than she receives.
Madonna is not only an amazing singer, she is a spectacular performer! A true artist# I always feel empowered by her. Happy Birthday !! Feliz Cumpleaños !! Bon Anniversaire !! And many more to come!!
Where Wen Goes amazing singer? Sweetie, no. She actually sounds average, her voice sounds tired and she has never been a good vocalist... so. Still enjoy it, but stop being denial.
Ramon Barbs You can choose what music you enjoy, why bother to listen to music you don't like? It was Madonna's Birthday, and I was only sending positive words. Would you like it if someone said on your Birthday those exact words to you? I am guessing your not a professional singer, nor a music teacher? As well, your lack of knowledge of Madonna. Madonna has been a professional singer for years and has done very well. If she was so terrible she would not have lasted. Make that comment with conviction when your 60, looking as good as Madonna and had lived her life, as well performing the exact songs at the MET gala.
Where Wen Goes i like her music, but she has never been a singer with good voice. She can sound average, she sounded the best when trained her voice for Evita, yet she will never be remembered as a singer. Sorry just clarifying you that. And i do like her music, my fav songs are The Power Of Goodbye, Like A Prayer, Ghost town, You'll See...
@@rabt5926why are you watching her video and hating on her ? There are many artist who have an average voice but are legend just like Beyoncé, and Madonna. They're famous because they're hardworking person and it's fair !
I will finally see her in concert this summer for the 1st time, but up to now, this is my favorite performance from my "queen of pop" ! Once I see her in person, I can die fullfilled!
Simply outstanding. What she does she does with a passion so lacking in todays artists! When Madonna performs its usually with a mission, a statement and its that what connects her to her art, so you believe it! Shes not doing it for doing its sake!
It made me cry... Thank U for everything you have given to us, thank U for fighting against every rule, thank U for giving voice to those who don't have one, thank U for inspiring us to follow your steps, thank U for being who you are. Happy Birthday Madonna!! What a beautiful gift you have given US today!! Long live the one and only Queen of Pop, Her Madgesty 👑❤
I think it's becouse what happened at the MET Gala was always a secret so none know what happen in there but then Madonna, Gaga and Katy took pictures together and post it on the internet when they shouldn't do it and then year after year they started to appear pictures of the MET Gala inside
That was awesome, 35 years in to her career, that was a career defining performance - she sounded the best ever - i don't care what she looks like. This was art...
Her voice kept breaking. So she did not sounded ”the best ever”. She is getting old and the voice is an istrument. That is just understandible. I liked her getting back to her roots and turning into catholism. That is thematic that most her. She is the original catholic girl gone bad. Or maybe she just were lost and found her way back home.
I never saw the entire performance; she really did impress me and her voice- she usually lip syncs- has grown with age and was truly moving. I’m so proud of her! She killed it! I’m a huge fan anyway but this topped the cake , once again, and I’m sure she’ll continue to do so as always. Long live the Queen 👑!!
The choir start singing in the Basque language, Euskera like in MDNA tour. Absolutely moved and overwhelming. That means a lot for The Basque Country Madonna. We´ve always loved you and always will. Happy Birthday and ZORIONAK!!!!
Madonna is the most original artist forever love her to bits and will alway thanks her to make me want my life to carry on just waiting for her new songs
*Sings Live. Has beautiful choir for background. Updated drum and bass. This is how it’s done. She sounds beautiful and this performance was theatrical. Bravo!* 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'd be honored if some Madonna fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of 80s/90s classic songs on my channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Phil Collins, Michael McDonald, Elton John, GooGoo Dolls, Whitesnake, Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
sorry, Chiemeri, if you pay attention, this is video and sound porfessionally edited and what sounds, is not her singing live. 1: the wardrobe shoulder's piece is on and off between takes, 2: if you look her mouth carefully, near the end (when she goes down the top of the piano, after minute 11:58), you'll realize she's not singing live. THAT SAID: this is her BEST PERF IN MANY YEARS (better than the whole RH tour!!) The new song cannot be more AMAZING! and at the end of the day, being MADONNA, WHO CARES IF SHE'S "SINGING" OR NOT!! It's been almost 40 years she's been performing and ppl still seem to don't understand that! *****
Forever the most successful female artist off all time. Her achievements will never be surpassed, seeing how the music industry has changed so much. Happy birthday to the undisputed Queen of Pop 👑 Long live the Queen!!!!! 👑
Chris Z sorry, but acording to the industry numbers, Mariah Carey is the most successful female artist in history. But madonna is indeed a living legend.
Thank you, Madonna, for giving me and other women the confidence to be ourselves, be loud, be brash. I’m so lucky to have grown up in an era with you as our icon. ❤
She only still sounds this good because of her role in “Evita” and the vocal training she has kept up with ever since. This is absolutely GORGEOUS. It almost sounds effortless. Hard to believe she’s 60. But hell, if she can still do it and she’s happy, 100% think she should keep going and that’s definitely what I’m seeing here! You go, Madonna! 💕💕💕
My God! This was beautiful! I had never seen it before. Madonna is just an Icon. One of a kind. There will never be another. I’m glad I grew up watching her. Long Live Madonna💕
I love Madonna all around 🙂❤️🇨🇦. She's awesome loved her since I was about 13 n 48 still love her music. My daughter is 20 n she loves the music I grew up listening too ❤️❤️
Not just a legend, not just a woman blessed with a natural gift, but a badass professional who always strives for excellence and the highest quality in all she does! She is truly a hard worker.
@@EdjeMr1975 do that for decades under the public eye, sacrifice your comfort and peace for human rights, for women's freedom through art, being called a whore, a slut, a witch, being compared to Satan... just like she has. Whether she's a god or not, I worship this incredible woman.
@@aboyhasnoname4093 The issue is she is a practicing witch - a true Satanist. Let's be real, she was/is a whore as well. She is no victim. Her fans are the victims. She was my favorite growing up too. I hated finding out the truth about her and all the others who sold their souls for fame and fortune.
lilstardust777 How is she satanist? Do you realize how stupid you sound? Oh, right, I forgot you do sound stupid, because first of all she is not a satanic supporter and will never be. If she was Satanic, she wouldn’t be an artist, and she wouldn’t donate thousands of dollars to Malawi and raise hospital. You need to stop spreading hate towards her, she has always supported everything and she doesn’t care what you and those dumb haters think. Clearly you’re the one who supports Satan and I bet Jesus isn’t proud of what you’re doing. Causing a sin to disown people’s legacy. Disgusting
Never in my wildest dreams back in the early 80s did I think she would even be around let alone alive now. Prince and Michael Jackson were born the same year she was: 1958
@@urebeatsgaming7285You are right mate. But people will not belive it. Most are asleep. And they'll consider You crazy. How I know? I went through it for last year and a half. I've been showing her spectacle on Eurovision in Izrael to the people and telling them all this "coronafirus" is planed. Most don't belive it.
