This is a great song. The music video is amazing. It is a great album. Apparently in other areas of the world, it is a great success. Go figure. Much of what is not here, is a success, especially music wise. It's a shame. But Madonna is a major success in the pop scene and music, that can't be denied. I will always remember watching Desperately Seeking Susan growing up even in the 90s. I wish I can see her live now. I feel she will be like Cher, still touring or at least still singing in an older age. I love both of them and I love Ellen.
Madonna has a side to her voice that has a sweet and rich tone. So many people have loved the calmness and peacefulness in her voice for 33 years. This song is one of her best. You may not like her but her voice is instantly recognizable. It is all her own.
Kevin Lee Burns Oh Yes yes i agree totally!.. Madonna has a distinctive and almost celestial sound/element to her voice!...Big Up MADONNA!...2015 AND STILL GOIN STRONG!...HERES TO ANOTHER 33 YRS!.........
Nathan Osman bad bad singer she is old her new album is bad nothing new to give always the same i bet at the end of the song she show her brest or kiss someone! Jajajaja
Joseph N She was there thru it all...20s 30s 40s & 50s & she has always given everything she's Got... A constant & Consistent, 'Living 4 Love, Not giving up, Not gonna stop, M gonna Lift me Up'' Queen of pop M still Rocks
@@AppleCinnamon1vocalist isnt even a word she would describe herself as! She has a limited range and she knows how to sing within it. What made her famous is pushing boundaries and being a controversy.
@@eisa3242 Well I don't consider "range" to make a great vocalist. There are plenty of screaming choir girls. But they are good for the choir lines. Madonna's voice has character, depth, soul and emotive. Madonna has always been a conceptual and aware human/ artist. She is very opinionated and doesn't hesitate to express her views on things. She has been discriminated against because of that. Because her opinions are controversial. Her voice, exactly as it was and as it grew was what made her records great. In many societies women with thick voices are considered too manly. Madonna has a spirited storytellingtelling and versatile voice.
@@AppleCinnamon1 then “Vocalist” is the wrong term. Cuz that means someone who has range and octaves and knows how to use them. Not talking about the scream queens. With that being said, i still like some of her songs. Im just discussing that part
Gina Sousa Branco Not sure if she was sick but this is an emotional song all about hope thru our desperate times & thriving towns being turned in2 ravaged 'ghost towns' in some tragic parts of our world thru the evils of war & Greed. possibly it's about a mothers battle 4 her son Rocco too.
At 56 years old, she is pretty impressive. Sad to see so many people hating on her. She's in incredible shape, she writes/co-writes and co-produces nearly all of her songs, and I think it's passable that she uses auto-tune once in a while. There's no doubting that she's the most iconic and influential female artist of the past century, and people should respect her much more than they do. Who cares if there's autotune on some of her songs? She's proven herself to the world with what she's accomplished and now I think she deserves to have fun making music that she likes to make with or without autotune, without being criticized.
@@Jck9102 i know right? They want grown women to twerk like cats in heat....ive seen the video, and boi i was so fascinated the dance her look her moves, wow!! A true woman being elegant. My god where the music went, you just hit the point.
She may not have the best voice, but she sure knows how to deliver a good performance! If you don't feel the chills while watching this, well maybe you're not that emotional....you can tell that she's feeling every single word while singing 'em! Thank you for this song Madonna
The whole she doesn't have the best VOICE, which was base on a Madonna interview when Maddy was just blabbering and being modest. Educate yourself with this fact! No one in 14 years of American Idol idiocracy can sing FROZEN or LIVE TO TELL and not deserve to be stoned to death. Madonna voices is the greatest. Oh by great you mean SCREECH like Celine Dion and Mariah. Uhm, there are at least 200,000 girls in some rice field in the Philippines, who can belt like Celine Dion and be the next Kelly Clarkson. But the Uranus and back, and you won't find anyone who can sing LOVE DONT LIVE HERE ANYMORE better than Madonna. STOP THIS NEVER ENDING STATEMENT, which you keeps on RECYCLING, "she doesn't have the best voice" because that is just not very smart.
Stefano Velasco Muschett lol that guy is not only deaf but blind as he didn't understand! Madonna's voice is average, she knows how to put a good show, that's it. But here the peeformance with the autotune is really bad, makes the song sound weird and not enjoyable.
Ramon Barbs Yeah, the autotune thing is kind of annoying....maybe she used it because she is sick? Maybe? I don't know! I can't really tell you that I found it to be "not enjoyable" because I love this particular song so much that I would love it no matter what :)
That could be a reason. It is just that the parts where she sings with no background vocals and she tries to hit notes, it kills the vibe for me. But yes, this album is way better than MDNA and the desperate Hard Candy. Joan of Arc is another good song.
I would rather see a performance where every word is felt and conveyed with emotion rather than a perfect vocal, she deserves her status. Brilliant performance
Madonna's legacy will live on way after she's gone. Not the greatest voice. Not the greatest dancer or actress. She pushed people's buttons when no one else dared to do it. When it was not popular or expected. She was the trailblazer. Raw and unapologetic. That's how define an icon. I salute you, Madonna. You are unique!
She has been one of the best dancers in regards to song artists She is more of a dancer that can sing than a singer that can dance. She was a professional dancer before she became a singer
Maybe not the greatest dancer or vocalist best greatest perform set and showgirl. No one, no one even MJ or Beyoncé come close to her incredible touring force. She transforms and puts on shoes no one else can dream of.
I was jamming to Madonna back in high school... Fast forward 10+ years later, and I am STILL loving her music. I feel lucky to have enjoyed her work for as long as I have...! Very few artists have this kind of talent, longevity, and grace. Love you, Madonna! 😄🎤🎶
So lovely. It will be seen as a masterpiece when we look back. This song literally hits all the marks of a pop smash. It’s unfathomable that it wasn’t a huge hit. I’ve not heard better in the last five years. Any new pop ingenue would have taken this to number 1 but could not have conveyed the depth and beauty that Madonna did.
Marcy Sweet It's a critically acclaimed album (!!!) that sold the highest number of physical copies, and second highest number of pre-ordered digital copies on I tunes ( second only because of her own MDNA album ) in the last 3 years. If that's flopping, that the other pop "artists" must be dead and buried. And mind, achieving You all of that, despite the complete album leaking online .
miloradvlaovic thats not true it didnt do That well but calling it a flop would be shit just because it didnt do too well. I mean shes Madonna. Some people do that all the time with Britney too.
***** Well that "flop" sold more physical copies than Prism already ... Prism simply had more digital downloads, hence the gross score. Not that the sales mean much. Rebel Heart is a critically acclaimed album that will enter musical history. And I love Katy, but save for few songs, Prism is a compilation of generic garbage or rip-off that Max Martin is famous for. But Prism did sell more physical copies than ArtFlop which Your fave "made" ... bye troll :)
It is so funny and even fascinating to see all these teenagesr posting about things that they even do not know: They call relevant or irrelevant to the first stupid thing that they have in mind: 1) about How many views a video has: madonna became famous when youtube even did not exist: she does not own anything to youtube , she never needed it to be the most succesful singer ever: today what could do a new pop stars without youtube?? 2) she got all her numbers 1 when only real sales were considered, not like today when you can do a lot of tricks to get numbers 1.. With really low sales :Streaming etc If she was really interested to.. She could do it with the power that she has, but these things are relevant for teenagers and new pop stars only , not for Madonna's stage 3) if someone insists to compare Madonna to new pop stars . First wait 30 years then compare to madonna to make a right comparison. THE END
She may not have the greatest voice, but I really like it... She sings with so much emotion! Did you notice that she switched the lyrics at 1:48? In spite of that, this was an amazing performance for an amazing song! This is such an incredible album... :D
Im not agree I think she has a very beautiful voice. Not the best singer in the world agree but at her age she still can dance and susrprise the world industry with amazing records and perfomance like this.
I like her voice too :) Just saying that is not as great as, for example, Whitney Houston or Celine Dion, but it's not bad either... She's a great artist and I wish that more people (especially the young ones) gave her the credit she deserves but unfortunately there is discrimination because of her age... Rebel Heart is so much better than many commercially successful records out there...
jm7hp i am just 13 and i know that madonna is queen of pop ever exist,thanks to her a lot of female singers un this era including male artist,can sing the letters that they sing they can put the things that they want in their videos. She is unique, she is the great one queen. I love her a lot and the album rebelt heart is so good. And this song is amazing. The only queen.👑👸😍
I admire and respect her very much as an artist! Don't let age define your talent. It really made me mad when I read that radio stations wouldn't play her new music because of her age...????? Keep doing it big Madge!
Autotune? There is no autotune in this. If you think 'Everything's bound to break', 'Everyone ran away' and 'Everything's gone to hell' parts are autotune then you are wrong. It is done by Madonna's voice. If you watch the other performances of this song you can see that the execution of these parts differ.. *sigh* To all the young fans of new divas; 'she can't sing', 'she has no talent' has been stamped on Madonna from the first day. Instead of jumping on the 30 year old hate bandwagon why don't you try to understand how she became the most successfull female artist of all times and how she influenced every female pop star after her? (yes, including your fave).. She is not just a singer, dancer or a performer. She is very special. She is Madonna.
Ramon Barbs Did I say she was the only influence? And as successful as Cher and Marilyn (and other stars which came before Madonna) were, none of them wrote the pop book like Madonna did.
Ramon Barbs and A STAR and ICON she Became and ALSO for the Fairy Dust she Might of Borrowed from the stars you Mentionned ... None of them Went as Far ... so Your Opinion is Based On LOOKS only ... Life is more then Looks BABY!
I love that Madonna is still around in the industry despite what people say about her age. It shows what a courageous person she is. I love that Madonna's showing all the ageist people that you're never too old to follow a dream and do what you love. We need more people like her in this world. This woman deserves nothing but admiration and respect.
In true Madonna fashion, she always finishes with more energy than when she begins. Once she gets into it, she sounds great and looks great. Especially considering that she has a cold.
Why did I just run across this video? OMG. She was simply amazing. The song is simple yet complex in many ways because of the content. However, she delivers the song so beautifully and majestically. Awe. I really loved this performance.
She actually has great resonance in her voice on the higher notes.Seems like she has a good singing technique.Unlike the other singers of her era like Celine and Mariah [who I both love] she has kept the vocal tone she has always had. I was impressed with this it gave me chills. ;]
This why she's my favorite SINGER pure raw emotions n feeling tru her vocal chords! Range n conviction into her singing. She gave me chills! Hail the Queen!
She is a legendary figure in the music history , one of the most favorite character that evokes the emotions and feelings of the indeed music that has been lost for the fewer past decades. Amazing!
