I will have you know I got tickets to the US opening night for this show in Houston TX. I watched this rehearsal a month before the hos and recorded it on VHS. I watched it until I learned the entire dance routing by heart! I had 8th row tickets the first opening night, May 4th 1990 and absolutely did the dance at the show! While in 8th row, we met Oliver Crumes dad! Oliver was the thin black male dancer with blonde hair. He was so excited when Oliver first came on stage and jumped up and down with my friend yelling "that's my son!" We went on the 2nd night of the show too and met Oliver and got his autograph and got to tell him about meeting his dad the previous night! This concert was one of the mose magical events in my young life and cherish those memories fondly!
The Greatest performer of all time!! Her confidence, her talent and her beauty are mesmerizing!! The Best selling female recording artist of all time in action, Wow!!
Still my favorite live version of this song, nothing beats that precision, and those backup dancers are fierce and KNOW Vogueing in their bones. Brilliant.
I can't remember which, but in an interciew i saw, they shared that at least one or two of the dancers actually brought voguing to her because it was born out of their community and they auditioned for her with vogueing moves. Madonna embraced it and helped blow it up globally. Legendary ever since! These guys were exactly what she asked for, FIERCE!!👏👏👏
Black as the devil (Madonna in black shiny tights)😈, hot as hell (Her sexy moves)🔥, pure as an angel (Her sweet voice)😇, sweet as love! (Her sultry whispers)❤
it was clever of you to edit in the parts of the song that were on the original track that were omitted from the rehearsal version Good thinking😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Has she ever performed this song with live vocals? Every version I’ve seen is lipped. Can someone direct me to a live version? I’m mostly curious to hear if there are any key changes when she does it live.
Mmmm no. This is sourced from a file that was shared on a fan forum several years ago and I downloaded it directly from there. Just over a year ago I did some colour adjustments to it and mixed the audio and it has been streaming on my blog, Today in Madonna History, since September 1 2018 (todayinmadonnahistory.com/2018/09/01/today-in-madonna-history-september-1-1990/). I just never got around to uploading it to my RU-vid channel until last week.
I remember watching MTV and seeing this rehearsal (not this enhancement)…for some reason SJP was involved in hosting or something to that effect. I was 20!
