Madonna Reaction Confession Tour (GRAND FINALE!!!) | Dereck Reacts 

I can't emphasize how much I loved this tour! Madonna's song selections where on point...and this ending was beyond EPIC! What other of her performances comes even close to this????

Oh no, Dereck. NOTHING is wrong with Confessions Tour. Her outfit during 'La Isla Bonita' is a remake of the ones used by the ABBA girls, on their Wembley show!!

Just a lil fun fact: Madonna humping the boombox is a direct homage to herself back in 1985 during her Virgin Tour wherein she did the same when she performed Everybody. 😊

The end was as stunning as the beginning.The entire tour was extremely pure perfection.

P.S. It was not "enhanced for the DVD" - live it was a million times more epic visually and sonically. I was there, so trust me. ;) The DVD version had to make compromises to fit all the visual galore onto the screen. There were literally dozens of things happening simultaneously at any given moment. It was like being inside an immersive art installation.

One word: ICONIC Periodt!

Her outfit is perfect. ABBA wore it first and the same way she paid tribute to John travolta in music she is doing the same in la isla Bonita.

She is wearing that because that is the theme, disco, abba , segment. She looks wonderfull with pure talent.

I was there during the recordings of this amazing concert. And it was incredible. Your reaction is perfect too. Ignore the comments stating that you talk too much. That's what a reaction is about! They can watch the DVD or the concert on RU-vid in full if they prefer not to listen to you. Stay safe and thank you for your excellent reactions!

I almost fell off my chair when you said “ eye candy “ when the camera was Jason the dancer! I did not know 😀😀😃 now I like you more 😂

Have You Confessed? was part of the promotional campaign at the time, she had a phone line dedicated for people to call and confess things to, i think it was 1-800-Confess she had t-shirts with that number on it too, also the special edition of the album came with 2 books, one book with lots of photos from the photoshoot of the album and one was a notebook with illustrations by madonna for you to write confessions in. She really went all in with the confessing theme, actually she did the same with Hard Candy the special edition of that album came with lots of starlite mint candies inside the album box.

.......When she gyrates over the boom box and then spins around and comes to rest in that iconic Confessions pose... as the music track explodes..... absolute chills!. There is a no other entertainer like Madonna ♥️

I was lucky enough to be there for the recording of this breathtaking show at London’s Wembley Arena. One of her best shows!! I loved how the gold balloons dropped over the golden circle... it was a nice touch. I still have mine, which says Confessions Tour and the Confessions ‘Madonna’ logo underneath! I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

So many years have passed, still dont know how to react to that radio moment at the end of the runway, is sooo great, how could you describe that

I saw this performance thousand times, but I never realized the sound like you did so perpectly. And yes! She's THE QUEEN! Thank you!

To me one of the most amazing Madonna's assets is how she picks songs that just fit perfectly into the tour's mood and modify or arrange them sometimes in a complete brand new version and makes them great songs again. For instance Let it will be she just decided the album version was not good enough and made that badass version... it is just genius.

Her outfit is based on ABBA's outfits on their Voulez Vous performance during their 1979 world tour. Is a Madonna's tribute to ABBA. I love the confession album. Amazing

This was Donnas lastime touring with Madonna. She at least had one last dance routine in Lucky star. Donna is a great performer.

I feel sad, this is over. 🙁 The hope is to start with the next Tour. 👏👏👏 Maybe MDNA Tour or STICKY & SWEET Tour, both are great!!! Please.

This is her best tour not just because she's amazing during this tour, the scene is beyond words the choreography is the best she has done during her career the costumes are fabulous, the energy is like a storm during 2 hours, the light, the dancers, perfect perfect.... No doubt is her best tour and also the best ending of her career 💜

Madonna is my favourite artist. Confessions tour brought me back when I first got in love with her. Watching this masterpiece bring back tears of joy. So inspiring. And you, really love your genuine reaction and glad you enjoyed every little part of it. Thank you❤️

The moment after the breakdown in Hung Up leading to the explosion back into the song after straddling the boombox will go down as the epitome of what Madonna is: visual, sonic masterful performer, full of seduction, sex, pure pop, style, motion, amazing visuals, pure perfection! Btw, the pose after her spin descending from the boombox is the exact pose she has on the album cover of Confessions of a Dance Floor! The album artwork was inspired by the classic movie Tommy, a rock opera about the influence and downfalls of fame and fortune! Her songs, artwork, tours etc are always filled with references to other pieces of art. You can dissect everything in great detail, people already mentioned the reference of the costume she’s wearing directly to ABBA’s costumes. This is in my opinion her best and most well rounded tour. Being there is still one of the highlights of my life. Exhilarating from start to end, the biggest party I’ve ever been to!

I was there and I absolutely lost all of my marbles! It was so amazing!

I was at both LA shows. It was 2 of the most funnest nights of my life. The whole place at the end was jumping for a good 15 minuets of non stop high energy. The best .She had everyone jumping during Ray of light also. We were on our feet most of the night. Could not sleep that night was so hyped and so excited to see it again and was even better the 2nd night Blown away.

I still got my balloon. It was epic! 🎈

The outfit during La Isla Bonita has to be there because she had just changed into it for Erotica (which she sang before La Isla Bonita) and is intended to be worn for the whole disco segment. This is a disco version of the track and doesn’t feel like a Latin number, so I don’t think the outfit is out of place at all. Also, this outfit is a homage and a nod to ABBA. To me, it makes perfect sense. Great reaction, as always! I wouldn’t react to Blond Ambition next. As iconic as this tour was at the time, I think you’d find it more interesting at this point to react to MDNA, Sticky and Sweet, Reinvention and Drowned World Tour.

this is the best reaction channel..great job

The "eye candy" is Jason Young. And yes he's an eye candy...

Seeing this live was pure disco bliss! It was a gigantic discotheque with Madonna in it.

Hi Dereck! Love your reactions! Madonna is the Queen! One comment: those two girls that accompanied Madonna during her Lucky Star perfomance are not dancers but back up singers. One of those girls is Donna, who was in all Madonna's concerts up to that point. That was her last tour with Madonna... too bad because i always miss Donna and Nikie of course...

I literally just listened to this album for the first time a couple of days ago it’s so good. Previously I had only heard hung up and jump... it’s definitely one of my favorites Now. Wish I was a few years older so I could have heard this album in the clubs when it first came out.

PERFECT SHOW. thanks friend for commenting on this great, unique and unrepeatable concert, even though the years go by it is still one of the best in history

QueenMadonna!!! No one else like her

I love your reaction to this tour, yes, is THE BEST , is a complete piece of art, every song, arrange, choreography, interludes, etc , she is n artists, a performer, she is a dancer. You have to understand that the last part it's a complete oda to the 70s music, you have it with the Jon's Travolta look in the disco dance, you have the ICONIC leotard of ABBA in sexy disco and Latin disco and finally the complete of ABBA salute whith the Dancing queens cape in the popis 70s final in lucky star. And finally she is the absolute queen in Hang up, remember everything in Madonna's work say something more . Saludos !!!

THIS TOUR IS EPIC: I ASSISTED IN THE SUMMER 2006 IN FRONT OF 80 THOUSAND PEOPLE. .. EXCELLENT REACTION AND COMMENT: CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR CHANNEL

Her dress at the end is kinda like an ode to Abba

I really loved experiencing this with you. Hope you'll do the "Sticky & Sweet" tour next (or after "Blond Ambition"). It is very different but also BRILLIANT.

that's what i call climax and an "O" face at 26:32. Thanks for reviving my love for this era.

I was there , it’s what your saying and more . It was just one big party , she captured the disco era feeling , music, party , dance and having a great time . Something this country is gravely missing .

Abba can be proud to get this tribute from Madonna. Dancing gueen, her outfit, Gimme, gimme gimme in Hung Up, disco lights. Everything has an Abba-connection.

I was in the 3rd row at the Phoenix show. It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, I was at this concert in Amsterdam, and it was absolutely amazing!!!!

Thank you for sharing your passion. Love love love Madonna. Stay safe n keep on sharing your true self with us. I hear you n to appreciate music because it reaches your soul n the talents u have for expressing it in words of your own absolutely great to hear. I wish you happier times in the future, n like good things happen to happy n positive people n stay happy n kind n grateful always.

I saw u posted this video yesterday and couldn't watch it right away. Finally get to see it now! This is, for me, the best part of the show. Thanks for your content!

Confessions on a Dance Floor was a return to dance music for her so she had all the dancing themes throughout. She killed it with creativity and I think her live singing was amazing. On Hung Up once again Daniel Cloud Campos is featured heavily and his performance adds to this spectacular finale. She merged all these amazing songs. I love her look. And agreed her smile throughout just adds to the thrill..

I love the way you are living this!! I saw this show twice and it was amazing, I just revived what I felt, so thanks for that.

Madonna la eterna reina del pop por los siglos de los siglos amén 🙌👑

The thing with the outfit is that we are not at the beach at a beautiful island, we are in a DISCO, where they are playing a dance remix of La Isla Bonita. That's why i think that the outfit is not a problem.

the best madonna tour ever since blond ambition and I've seen 98% of her LIVE shows (except drowned world, virgin tour).. and yes, I got one of the "gold" balloon that say' Madonna Confessions Tour that I treasure along the tour book dearly... amazing reaction!! thanks

Hung Up - One Of My Favourite Madonna Songs!

Madonna always puts a different spin on her classics.

Hi Derek, I have one of those gold balloons and from that night as I was there at this show that was recorded. Are you jealous? I loved this show and remember her on the platform to the side especially on lucky star. It's great that I now have a DVD recording of the show I was at ;)

Really enjoy watching your reaction to this concert! I was in the tenth Row in San Jose right next to the catwalk for this one and it was one of the most amazing moments ever! I still have my gold balloon in my room here and I was so worn out at the end that I had to sit down for a while while everyone left the HP Pavilion. Such a workou! I love how you caught on to the audio elements of mixing songs into each other which is the same thing she does with the confessions album when she emerges the songs together. She hadn't done that since the You Can Dance album and it's great for getting that heavy workout and when you're listening to it. The tour is just amazing and definitely in my top five tour experiences of her! Big hugs :-)

Yesss finally!!!! Amazing tour!!

This tour was epic! Another side of her art. But if you are stuck in like a virgen era. you are missing the big journey and history. You need to travel with Madonna all the time to keep exploring😉 to the new generation. This is the Queen. 👸

That was her best tour.... hehe and your reaction to the eye candy😉

I’m from Switzerland. This was my second Madonna show. I saw her life in Paris two times. Once in Berlin an three times in Zürich. This show was absolutely fabulous! One of my favourites. I was very close to the platform but sadly i couldn‘t catch one of the balloons. 😂 But... it was great!

ICONIC MADONNA

Ok the DVD version is everything, I saw this show in Miami / July/ 2006 and I hate to tell you but NOTHING compares to the show I saw- I still STILL have not recovered---dude, whew👍😀 It still excites me! Thank you soooooo much for a great reaction 💙💙💙💙💙💙 Zane

I saw this on TV many years ago and I still think what I thought then. F##&king AMAZING!!!

"Maybe" ABBA? Seriously? Hahaha It's like... literally the iconic ABBA outfit, practically as is. lol the whole act is pure DISCO. Hence, the outfit. There is nothing "strange" with her costume choice. It's also kind of works as a swimming one-piece suit, what could be more tropical for La Isla Bonita?.. Just saying...

She looks fab in her white outfit performing plus all the theatrical lighting wow. To me her oufit oozed abba ladies outfits just plus a cape ..and the music seems to replicate the background sound of abbas gimme gimme gimme or am i thick saying something obvious. What a star

OMG Dereck! I really love your reactions!!! React to Girl Gone Wild of MDNA World Tour, live

God. French here. I was in Paris for this tour. In front of the little scene . When she move on the radio, turn on the floor , The music , the ballon falling. My god , the best moment of my life ^^ not a lot of phones back in time so people jump clap hands and sing. Very good memories. And I remember having 5 times a crush eyes contact with one dancer , the white guy hair shaved. Paradis and heaven the same night ^^

Confessions tour is the best but you need to do reinvention tour. Blond ambition is iconic but the vocals can be a bit hit or miss and I'm saying that as a fan.

I saw this show LIVE in Philadelphia, just amazing,brilliant and beautiful. I’ve been a mega fan since 1984 with Borderline being the first song I heard.❤️ #MegaMichiganMFan84 Thank you for your fun reactions and express yourself. #HungUp #MusicInferno #Jump #FutureLovers The damn disco ball arrival..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I believe that the Hung Up intro includes samples from the whole show, there’s La Isla, Erotic, Lucky Star, Ray Of Light... like the all the concert finally merges in one song

There's only one Queen And that's Madonna!!! ❤️ ur review Dereck

There’s never gonna be an artist like her... one of a kind, just happens once as Freddy Mercury, Bowie, Bono, etc...

She is the greatest of all time.👑

React to sticky & sweet tour 💗

Iconic!!! Perfection = Madonna!!!

As many have commented the outfit is 70's disco theme ABBA the theme of the Album and Tour,. great video! keep it up

only and one Queen... L.U.V. MADONNAAA ❤

Her outfit was a tribute to ABBA. She sampled Gimme Gimme GImme for Hung up. I think she was just giving a tribute to ABBA and 70s disco in general. If you look at her cape, it says Dancing Queen on the back, think.

Ahhhhh, this is arguably Madonna's most iconic moment. She is incredible..... I can't sit still. Echo below comments, the outfit is from ABBA and spot ON.

Thank you for making the edits and cuts you did much more smooth and clean. It was so much easier to watch. Appreciate that. Looking forward to the next concert review. Stay safe and healthy!!!

Dereck the eye candy is Jason... he’s not gay sorry lol - yes I can testify a 1000% that live this is even million times better than this dvd edit, although this tour’s edit is brilliant compared to other dvd edits that are waaay tooo edited and filtered and the graphics fuck it up... like the edit of the MDNA tour and also RebelHeartTour... too much filters and saturated colors! You’ll see with time... Confessions are EPIC and yes ONLY THE QUEEN can do this ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!

...the white suit with blue stripes was inspired in the ABBA dressing...BEST TOUR EVER !!!!!!

30:19 some eye candy.... 😄 If someone here is a eye candy,it is you Dereck 😉 Cheers from Germany 🤟

Those are the back up singers.

Hey! It's gonna be a long comment so I hope you'll read it. First, thank you for your reactions. You've reacted to a lot of my favorite artists: Nightwish, Lara Fabian, Madonna, Tina Turner. You seem to have very eclectic tastes and this is amazing. Concerning Madonna, I think the confession tour is her best but I hope you will react to the blond ambition tour (iconic one) and the MDNA tour (incredible performance considering she was in her 50s at the time). And I think you should take a look on one of my favorite artist: french singer Mylène Farmer. She is often compared with Madonna because she started around the same time during the 80s and she's still here today (her last show was in 2019). You don't have to react to her if you don't want to (or don't have the time) but here is a few of her songs with good music videos (in chronological order): Libertine, Désenchantée, Que mon coeur lâche, XXL, l'âme steam gram, Les mots, Fuck them all, Oui mais non, City of love. If you like her universe, definitely check her shows (it is what she is most week known after all). They are not as fancy as the Madonna's shows but they are more emotional and visually and technologically more impressive (I promise you have never seen anything like it before). The best ones are, in my opinion, and again in chronological order: Mylenium tour, Avant que l'ombre à Bercy, Mylene Farmer au stade de France, Timeless 2013. I really hope you will enjoy this (even if it's on your own time and not in youtube) but I'm pretty sure you will like her. Thanks again for your videos and for reading this (way too long) comment.

The Confessions Tour was the first time I saw Madonna in concert. It was a night I’ll never forget. Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet but the main reason her voice was so incredible during this tour was due to the air in the arenas being moist from sweat. Madonna didn’t allow AC during this tour. She said she wanted fans to feel like they were in a 70s disco club. As a result, the moist air from the sweating crowd improved her vocal chords. I remember that vividly because I had fractured my spine that year & I was wearing a heavy, hot, plastic, back brace during the concert.

30:34 “there’s some man candy” 🤣 that’s Jason Young! If you loved him here, you should know he was in Kylie Minogue’s Showgirl Tour in 2005 in very minimalistic outfits may I say 👀☺️.

My favorite version of La Isla Bonita ever. The end of the chorus....it hits me so hard. Love this song anyway but I really love this one DEEP.

Totally loved your reaction to this, the shear happiness in your face 😁 Such a great tour, epic! Nice reaction buddy 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

The La Isla Bonita costume that you mentioned was a replica of the costume that the 2 female members of ABBA wore on their 1979 farewell tour. Hung Up also samples the ABBA song Gimme Gimme Gimme. That whole section, including the Dancing Queen cape was a tribute to ABBA.

I saw the 4 show in Paris; I still have two golden balloons!!!! Wonderful nights. From Francen Take Care

thanks Dereck!! I really enjoy your Videos!! Keep going Stranger!!

C'était trop cool! 🎉🎉🎉

Attend this tour in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have a balloon, but lost a shirt! Greatest show ever...

this was wonderful journey with you... thanks

The costume is similar to the ones worn by the ABBA girls during their 1979 world tour. Also during this tour the ABBA album “Gold” was available to buy, part of the conditions for her to be able to use Gimme Gimme Gimme on Hung Up

I love watching the audience interaction at the end. I could watch it over and over (another Madonna track). The 'eye candy' is called Jason Young, btw. I agree, he's lush.

The name of eye candy dancer (lol) is Jason Young. He was in Re-invention, Confessions & Sticky Tour. He also danced with Ricky Martin Black & White Tour. He's cool enough to follow me on Facebook and Instagram. He teaches dance classes and has other projects. He's been tap dancing since age 7. There's so much more. lol. He's an inspiration to me.

I absolutely love you! Thank u sooo much, perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍💙💙💙😘😘😘zane

Amazingly legendary❤🔥👌👍😇 no one can even compare. A visionary❤

I saw this tour 3 X! Caught one of those balloons 🎈 and took it home, too 🤩🤩

I saw this tour in Vagas and it was insane. Live to Tell was just beautiful.

One song she does in every single tour is La Isla Bonita, so it may be one of her personal favorites, I know it was my dad’s favorite Madonna track. And then at the end during Hung Up after she was dancing on that boom box them she spun around into that pose which was EXACTLY the same pose she was in on the cover of the Confessions album, I was like which came first or did she know when she made the cover that she would replicate it on her tour ?!?!?
