"Where did she get the brothers that can dance like that?" Gay clubs in NYC. A whole lot of her early choreography and a fair bit throughout her career was from queer men of color. She knew where to find the best dancers on earth and knew enough to pay attention to what they were saying as experts, collaborating with them on the eventual outcome. Not a shot at her at all, she was talented and very smart. A fun "after dark" "I might need 2 pillows for this" track of hers that gets less love than it should is "Human Nature", definitely check it out, but have pillows on standby lol.

You said, “who are those people she’s talking about” Legends !

Madonna’s tribute to the gay and trans Black and Brown Ballroom culture in the 80’s. They were the ones who invented “ voguing”. Some of the originators are in the video along with Madonna’s dance company.

Ok how excited were we to see Leo Voguing cause we all know he was gonna try, priceless! 🤣❤️🤣

Madonna went to university for dance. She's a true dance artist, very much a trained professional. **Those people she listed are classic film stars, most from the musical genre. You gotta watch TCM.

There is only one Madonna. She pushed the boundaries in everything she does. Check out "Like A Prayer" and "Justify My Love" those are a must!!

This reaction video is the exact amplification of what madonna music is. 30 years later and its still new and fresh. The genius that is MADONNA

Madonna was introduced to Vogueing when her longtime friend Debi Mazar took her to the Sound Factory in NYC. There she saw Jose Gutierrez and Luis Camacho of the House of Xtravaganza. She was so impressed witn them that she had them audition and have them in her Blond Ambition Tour and this Vogue music video. They choreographed this music video and for certain performances for the Blond Ambition Tour like Like a Virgin and Vogue of course. They're also featured in her documentary of the behind the scenes and some performances of the tour called Truth Or Dare. There is another documentary about the male backup dancers of the Blond Ambition Tour made 25 years later called Strike A Pose which told the stories of their lives after the tour, how it affected their lives and how their performances and portrayals in Truth Or Dare affected the lives of their fans as role models and as sources of inspiration especially the young gay men who were coming to terms with their sexuality and it shows where they are recently. The making of this documentary reunited some of the dancers who haven't seen each other in a very long time. The people Madonna was rapping in her song were the golden era of Hollywood actors and actresses and dancers and well known celebrity like Joe DiMaggio who was a successful baseball player who was married to Marilyn Monroe at one point in her life.

Madonna's list are famous celebrities. Greta Garbo and Monroe Dietrich and DiMaggio Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean On the cover of a magazine Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean Picture of a beauty queen Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire Ginger Rogers, dance on air They had style, they had grace Rita Hayworth gave good face Lauren, Katherine, Lana too Bette Davis,

Some more Madonna HITS to check out: * Papa Don't Preach * Like A Prayer * Express Yourself * Frozen * Material Girl * Justify My Love (You'll need a cold shower after this one. 😂) * 4 Minutes * La Isla Bonita * Get Together * Ray Of Light * Open Your Heart * Cherish * Me Against The Music (with Britney Spears)

The men are professional dancers. Madonna was offered a full scholarship when she was 18 to the University of Michigan for their Dance program. She turned it down to pursue a singing career in New York. Thanks for reacting to this. The people she was naming were all famous actors in the mostly 1950s-1970s. Always a joy to watch you react.

Before Gaga, before Britney, there was Madonna. I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and SHE WAS/IS MY QUEEN! She normalized women in music pushing the boundaries of expressing their sexuality and sensuality. However, she was just an amazing persona and dancer too. She was progressive and always spoke up for the LGBT+ community too. I was not supposed to listen to her because I grew up in a Christian household, but I ALWAYS found a way! I would even be a 10 year old me and pray this would come on the radio. Clearly, my parents wishes never worked. I still love Madonna. This music video was/is one of the best ever. So epic and it doesn’t even look dated.

Favorite Madonna: “Lucky Star” “Holiday” “Borderline” Because of her “Lucky Star” look, there were tons of girls wearing mesh over shirts and black rubber bracelets. And that was 1983. The street vendors in New York City were selling that look big time. 💜💜💜

Iconic. She's not only Queen of Pop but of videos.

I suggest any Maddona song from the 80's and 90's. She loved to push the envelope back then.

Those are Hollywood film icons she's referencing (Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Lana Turner, Bette Davis, Jean Harlow, Rita Hayworth, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers). Tho' Joe DiMaggio married to Marilyn Monroe, was a sports icon at the time. Madonna's hair & makeup 'look' at the time she made Vogue , references Marilyn.

This video truly is a work of art, paying homage to the classic Hollywood look (1930s-1950s or so). It's got something for everyone. This came out in 1990 and people today still know what to do when you say "strike a pose" or "vogue!"

CLASSIC Video and Song! 31 Years later and this is still a banger!

Omg'sh I'm so happy with this song. To this day my best friend D-Ray and his husband Marky tear the dance floor up with this dance 😆 They can vogue better than anyone I've ever seen... And it doesn't have to be to Madonna darling .. Is what they tell people lol.. I love those guys😍😁

Back when we actually had dance music. Her music was on point a lot of the times.

This was the rave! Vogue is all about the greats of Hollywood, fashion, style, and dance! She was so ahead of her time! Great reaction 👍

Her performance of this at the MTV Music Awards in 1990 was absolutely bomb, you can really see how talented her and her dancers were.

We got Leo Vouging up in here y’all.

Leo, when this video came out there was nothing like it before. It was almost considered x-rated, along with Justify My Love. It changed music videos to what they are today.

Hahaha!! You're ridiculous (in all the best ways! lol!!) From your dance moves to your shear joy over this song and video!! This reaction was perfect! And I'm glad you caught that one specific part, "It makes no difference if you're black or white, if you're a boy or a girl. If the music's pumping, it will give you new life"... music is a soul thing. At the end of the day, we're all just souls encased in flesh (for a short time). As long as the music moves your soul, that's all that matters..... GREAT reaction! Your spirit is infectious!! :)

I love watching her dancing in Don't Tell Me with the cowboys! That was smooth choreography.

Like someone already mentioned " Justify My Love " that might get you in trouble 🤣

"any more Madonna?" SO much more Madonna.

Those people Madonna mentioned are all Legends in their own right …. who have all passed away RIP …. those lyric are my favourites part of this song….. Love your reactions, now you can add some more dance moves to your own style lol 😂

They were stars, mostly of screen. For Marilyn Monroe, I recommend “Some Like It Hot.” For Rita Hayworth, I recommend “Gilda.” There are a ton of old movies with these stars that are worth a watch. DiMaggio was a baseball player. More Madonna “Borderline.”

Legendary!! She was the center of our entertainment world. 💚

If you watch the show Pose you will learn a lot about voguing.

Nice choice. Coincidentally it's the 40th anniversary of MTV today. But MTV hasn't played music for over 10-20 years. You may need to meditate for some self control. 😂. She's a legend.

You have got to see her live 1990 VMA performance of this song. It is still in the top 5 performances ever at the MTV Video Music Awards! Madonna was/is a.music,fashion& pop culture Icon. Constantly changing her look& pushing boundaries.

I love that she expressed herself without fear of it. Madonna is a legend!

Nothing like vintage Madonna...this video played so much back in the day we got sick of it.

Madonna is an absolute legend

😂 Your reaction cracks me up. Madonna is a legend for a reason.

My favorite of Madonna's has always been "Material Girl".

Leo some times I honestly forget your age. I am in no way making fun of you. But imagine how we felt when this came out and that song/video was literally mind blowing. Lol! The dancers and the back up singers went on tour with Madonna on her Blonde Ambition Tour which was supposed to be the Like a Prayer Tour but Pepsi dropped her after the Like a Prayer video. Vogue or Voguing was an LGBTQ nightclub dance and Madonna was accused of cultural appropriation. Which is not cool on any level, but brought this dance to the masses. I love Madonna she is such a chameleon. And somehow manages to stay one step ahead. I absolutely loved your Voguing!! Maybe if you react to Selena’s - Disco Medley Live at the Houston Astrodome you’ll need a big pillow! Absolutely no disrespect to Selena once you see her you’ll know what I mean. Selena May she Rest In Peace! (Murdered by her fan club President) Love loved loved your reaction! Love ya lots!! ❤️😘

Get into the groove .. that’s still my favourite after all these years.. There’s only one Madonna forever❤️

“Madonna, Madonna, Madonna…” Can’t help but think of this song every time I see the badging on my all white Range Rover, Vogue Edition. 😆🤷🏻‍♂️

All the people she mentioned were movie stars from the 30s 40s and 50s. Actually they are Icons. Hollywood Royalty.

This reaction is going to be legendary!!!

Leo: Am I trippin' or are her jugulars showing? Me: LMAO

Ooooh, you need to do her ‘Justify My Love’. 🔥🔥🔥

Yes she's wearing a sheer shirt. Madonna was the Queen of bringing the underground to the forefront and this was her homage to the NYC ballroom culture.

His face when he saw her black top 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I’m crying. Love me some Madonna!!! What a legend. Great reaction Leo.... A jugular 😂😂😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Jewel , WHO WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL& SIA, CHANDELIER 💚💚💚

Love her, she’s such an icon!

Love This! Madonna is my Queen, from The D! This song still gets me to my feet to dance, Dance, DANCE!

Check out her VMA’s performance of this song. Iconic!

FINALLY. :D This era will give you a heart attack ;) Now do "like a prayer" and "express yourself"

We love you little man you're so cute❤.love from the🇬🇧

I'm calling bullshit Leo has definitely watched this before he's a master at the dance routine 😂😂😂

I grow up in the Madonna era, what a great time to be young. Vogue is my jam! She had the best of the best in this video. Play "Like a virgin", which was a shocker to for the 80s.

Now you should do Madonna's first movie, "Desperately Seeking Susan", for your other channel. To see her at the beginning. I think you'll like that. It was very popular at the time.

YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!!!

I love this song , it surprised me too , the names she was saying are the best actresses from back in the day , they all have passed , you are so fun , thank you much 😁😃🤗

Yasssss people were voguing in Ballrooms in New York, this is where Madonna got these moves from!! Love Madonna, so many classics 💃🏻🕺🏽

"He standing there like this. What's he doing?" He's standing there like that. And it's cool somehow.

You got moves, Leo 🕺🏾

La Isla Bonita….her best track I think. Add that to the list mate 👍

Back in the '80s, in some parts of the country, if you had an issue with someone, you didn't "take it outside," you battled on the dance floor. Crowd crowns winner. No violence. But if you could Vogue or breakdance, you definitely had the upper hand.

Well Leo, you finally reacted to my favorite female singer. Madonna is the greatest. Seeing you try to Vogue (which is an actual dance style) just completed my life. Every song sounds different - Every song a huge hit - Every song, Madonna. Ray Of Light Like A Virgin Music Justify My Love Frozen Crazy For You Express Yourself Holiday Into The Groove Burning Up Borderline Material Girl La Isla Bonita Dress You Up Like A Prayer Live To Tell Everybody Lucky Star True Blue Beautiful Stranger Where's The Party Open Your Heart

This song just makes you want to move idc!!!

Hey Mr V! You ain’t seen nothing yet! You MUST listen/ react to her song “Justify my Love.” Jayvee did it and we thought he was gonna fall out of his chair! 😆 PLEASE check that one out! Madonna was always transforming herself- you will not regret it!😉. ❤️💙👍✌️

When you get a chance watch this song when she performs live on the 1990 MTV video music awards. ❣️

Madonna 🔥

This came out when I was in middle school-we had the whole song and as much of the dancing in the video as we could memorized. Do any current pop stars hold a candle to her in her prime?

Yes! More Madonna!! "Open Your Heart" "Like A Prayer" and "Express Yourself". Keep your pillow near and strike a pose.

Very popular song on MTV back in the day. So overplayed and worth it! Express Yourself is another mega hit from her. They were all models and were shown some dance moves. Madonna is the real dancer.

"Who are all these people?" She was listing all the stunningly beautiful actors and actresses of the early days Hollywood...

Please react to her "Human Nature" video! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The one and only queen of pop. Many tried and are trying but No one will ever come close........

Have to give it up for Madonna. She was the original influencer and trend setter before any type of personal media platform. Compared to today she had limited resources. She did it with sheer will, hard work, and talent. Had to work hard back in the day. Whatever one may think of her music, can't deny her the respect she deserves.

You wanna see a controversial Madonna video? check out Like a Prayer; people lost their shit over that one and Justify My Love.

Come on, VOGUE!!!😎😍👯‍♀️💃🕺🏾

Madonna was my fave singer when I was in primary school right through to high school, she was the bomb!!! School discos Madonna playing woo hoo, we dressed like her!

Your reaction was wonderful, you made me laugh out loud. Madonna really sizzled in this clip.

Dont do Jusify My Love...you might need 2 pillows!!😎😆😆🎶🎵💜

She broke barriers! Love ❤️

That was awesome!! I know your Reaction brought joy to a lot of people!.... Thank You

Her HS is down the street, Rochester Adams. The Ciccone family are locals. She is a very strong dancer. In HS she was in dance and cheer. She took ballet and would practice 4-6 hours everyday. She received a full scholarship for dance to my alumni University of Michigan. She left early to go to NY and peruse her dreams. She was robbed as soon as she set down her luggage and took in the sight of the city. She lived in squalor and found Michael Jackson's manager (Freddy demann) who was in the hospital for a heart issue. She brought up a boombox and performed her skit. He told her he would sign her as soon as he was better....she brought her own contract and demanded he sign, NOW. The rest is history..and he is still her manager.

Wow loved your reaction to this.. think you might like CNC Music Factory's Gonna Make You Sweat

Give Pat Benatar a try! ☮️💙

My boy was Voguing his a$$ off. Love it!

The live version of Vogue is great too, from the 1990 MTV Awards. I think Dangerous Liaisons had just been in theatres, so her live performance involved big gowns, powdered wigs, and folding fans. Very inspired!

This definitely your first time, one of my favourite songs, bout time Leo, grew up on her music. 👍🔥👍. 💕😘💕

"Justify my love" will kill this guy.. 😂😂🔥🔥

Those people are Big Stars from the past. They had style and boy did they have grace. Amazing people from the past.

Madonna is the Queen of Pop in my opinion and you find won't many people too argue that fact! She just was just it in the 80's and the better part of 90's!

Vogueing is a style of dance from the ball room community (lgbtq+) Its where you hit pose after pose. Madonna making a song about it made it main stream.

Before there was ‘Pose’ there was ‘Vogue’. 🙌

Wow, man I used go to the clubs, in the day. We would tear up the dance, dancing to this classic, brings back the best times of life. Wow, what great memories.

"gotta put a pillow on my lap", lol.....hilarious

OMG I love you sweetheart. Hugs from Colombia.

This was the jam. Everyone everywhere was vogue-ing, including on tv shows and movies😂

Oh Leo..I can die happy.. I've seen you Vogue.. Someone has to get this to Madonna... She needs to see this 😂

Watch and learn 😆She is the living legend herself, Madonna that is, long live the queen of pop.
