And this is why Madonna is The Queen.

I wanted to give Brenda a hug watching her trying to accept what she was seeing in this segment, a beautiful lady with such a compassionate heart, I love both of your reactions

This tour was groundbreaking. There was nothing like this show before or since. Madonna was 43 years old, gave birth in August 2000 and started rehearsals in late March 2001, 7 months after having Rocco. There is Noone like Madonna. The great divas like Whitney, Barbra,Cher, Tina and Diana can't preform at this level. Modern Divas like Britney (she couldn't handle it), Gaga ( she tried but broke a hip and has canceled several tours) and Katy Perry tried but not at Madonna's level. The road warriors like Beyonce, Taylor and Pink have shows heavily influenced by Madonna and as great as they are, they don't come close. And it has to be mentioned again that Madonna was 43 years old!!!

SHE CAN DO ANYTHING! She is a performance artist! No other female pop star can compare!

Madonna’s concert video interludes are just as beautiful & compelling as her performances and official music videos. The way she marries storytelling with meaning for me is art within art.

Paradise and Frozen...is just breathtaking. Concerts got more spectacular over the years but back then that was just totally unseen. The whole segment is just Wow...Her singing live and doing all that she is doing...she is so talented. She wrote all those songs too. What an artist, we are so lucky to have her. This tour is not a fan favorite because it misses alot of her classics and focuses mostly on the more recent stuff at the time and its quite rock in the first segment and then dark in later ones, but it is a feast for the eyes and ears imo. Every tour is different and she does the classics that people long for on several later tours so this remains a special one.

This show can only be define as a masterpiece, there’s no other word for what we just watched.

Drowned World Tour was my first Madonna show ! My parents didn't allow me to go to an earlier concert 😂😂😂 At this special night as an 18 year old, in Berlin, I was a different Person! And never missed a tour ever since!!! Her artistry is out of this world

It only gets better, this concert is only the beginning of amazing tour performances. Madonna set the bar so high, no one can’t match Madonna’s concerts, there’s a lot of to process, even the most simple performances are a piece of art. No other artist is doing an effort to put on a show, no one can do what Madonna does.

Brenda, I loved seeing the wheels turning in your head when you realized the swells after Frozen were the bells from Open Your Heart 😂 You're frozen when your heart's not open Open your heart to me, baby, I hold the lock and you hold the key

The Nobody's Perfect segment was portraying an abusive relationship. That part always got to me. They did a really good job at the depiction. Brenda, it made me really happy that you enjoyed the song Sky Fits Heaven while the martial arts was going on. Thats one of my very favorites from Ray Of Light.

My boyfriend at the time only really knew Madonna from the Sex book (which he hated) and Evita (which he loved) When the DVD of this tour came out, I made him watch it and he was stunned...he didn't necessarily fall in love with her music but he was blown away by the range of artistic styles and every aspect of this multi-layered thought provoking production. The shot in the video of her wiping the blood from her nose and smirking straight into the camera is one the most haunting and powerful images. It definitely sticks with you.

The two of you are definitely my favourite reactors on Madonna’s career. And I now see that the two of you really start to understand why she is so admired by her fans. Not just as a pop singer but the artist, the performer, the creator. And it’s unbelievable how creative she is and what’s she thinks up for her live performances. I really anticipate your reaction videos ! Thank you both for letting us in on your journey. The journey I’ve been on since 1984 !

Madonna Is, in every sense of the word a "true artist " Her representation, writing, videos etc are all to promote this in the best form. She never receives the credit from "true critics" to affirm this. As always, your support, acknowledgement and enjoyment is a thrill. Please check out Tears of a Clown stage shows she did, 2 I think. Very individual & different, and not what you may think. They were promoting American Life era & are awesome. Definitely "art" thanks as always, I live my Madonna appreciation through you & love it ❤

It hit me that-in this segment she is portraying through song and dance women’s historical experience of being dominated, abused, treated as sexual objects/property by the male/patriarchal society and of women’s long struggle for rights with the rise of feminist empowerment ideology like the women’s liberation movement, the more recent MeToo movement. The Japanese animated segment (anime) where a female character is sexually assaulted is perhaps a reminder that Madonna herself experienced something akin in her early years in NYC. She of course, has suffered, been psychologically pummeled from the severe backlash, and even threats from entrenched misogynist, sexist, bigoted segments of society for her liberating artistry, outspoken and courageous advocacy for women empowerment, for the rights of those marginalized in society. It’s cathartic specially for Madonna with the outrage she’s likely felt when she finally leads other female dancers in that martial arts choreo fighting off men, then symbolically she eventually “kills” the macho Samurai dancer who earlier nearly slashed her head off; then with images of her battered and bruised, she picks up a rifle to shoot down the last male dancer standing in her way. It’s hard not to empathize with her and her messaging. She gives the defiant challenge to her detractors with that gesture “Come on, bring it on!”-she’s not backing down in this fight. This made me cheer-Yes!!..you go Girl!! ❤the respect, insight and fascination you showed in reacting to this segment.😊

Brenda mentioned when they watched “paradise not for me” for the first time, Madonna looked like she was preparing for battle. Well, there you go…You got the internal, physical battle in “Sky Fits Heaven.” It was like Brenda knew what was coming 😝😝😝. It was such a good segment

The storytelling in this section is so clearly defined, and so engaging. It's a powerful piece of art, and definitely an artistic statement on the way women (herself included) are treated. This segment is quite possibly my favorite segment of any music concert, of anyone's not just Madonna's.

The "Mer Girl / Sky Fits Heaven" is one of my favorite segments of all Madonna's concerts ever ❤💫... ¡Saludos! Love your reactions.

This whole segment is from another world, her artistry is unmatched. I wish I had seen this live... Thank U beautiful ladies for this and All Hail the Queen!!!

'Sky fits heaven' and 'Mer girl' , both from the 'Ray of Light' album are definitely worth listening to later. This segment is pure art. Who else does this? Even today I can't name one popstar doing the same. She is one of a kind. Still is! I was refreshing your channel the whole time, to see part 2. Now I can't wait for part 3! Patience!!! ;-) Thank you so much for your fantastic reactions.

Nobody can say that Madonna doesn’t know how to put on a show! This show was incredibly theatrical and impactful. A true fan favorite. Some of her best live vocals during this tour as well. Love both of your enthusiasm watching this. 🥰🥰

Saw this concert in PARIS we where all blown away!!!!!

Didn’t expect the second part coming that fast! This entire section is perfect in all aspects. I’d like to remark how after fighting and beating her relationship, she ended up not only shooting the dancer guy, but also what I think he represents: toxic masculitiy and a patriarchal figure that allows men treat women like that. As you ladies say….. mind blowing! Love your reaction! ❤️

I’m watching this reaction screaming MADONNA MADONNA MADONNA MADONNA in public lol

That was a great reaction! I was actually lucky enough to attend this concert. I saw it at Madison Square Garden in NYC and during the entire concert; so many emotions were going through me. I was amazed, mesmerized, shocked but most of all; I was in a state of complete euphoria.

This was my first Madonna concert (saw her in Atlanta) which was the show before this one. It was an experience that I will never ever forget. I was just exhausted as an audience member! It was like a religious experience.

She’s just done it all. Totally fearless.

The songs in this segment are Paradise Not For Me, Frozen, Open Your Heart, Nobody's Perfect, Mer Girl, Sky Fits Heaven, Mer Girl, What it Feel Like For a Girl.

You two nail it again. Yes, this tour is much more intense, dark and theatrical. I remember being there and just so drawn in to all that was happening around me. So much is going on, it's nearly impossible to catch everything. That's why watching the concert back on film, really helps you discover things you missed when being there. And your right, this is the first tour she's utilized the big screen. She was one of very few artists who were using screens in such a manner. Before her U2, was known mostly for doing so as far back in the early 90's with the Zoo TV tour. Madonna made it more acceptable among pop artists. And get ready for the show to take you in another direction. Just make sure you wear your Cowgirl gear for this next act. LOL! Love your reaction. Thank you!!!

Drowned world tour was amazing and powerful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you beautiful ladies for your fantastic reaction ❤️ 💜

This is art personified.

Unfortunately they cut out three 3 female dancers who were doings an amazing choreography for this last song, which was Madonnas costume change moment,they were seen on the tv broadcast but apparently they decided for the dvd to only show the video on the screen. Not sure why though….oh also I was there at that show in Berlin

Before seeing this live, I never paid much attention to ‘paradise (not for me)’ or ‘mer girl’. But seeing the visuals for both on top of this entire section of the tour definitely changed that. When you guys do the deep dive into the albums later on you will be surprised at the quality of the songs. Just because times change and she no longer is the “it girl” the music quality stays if not intensifies. I’m enjoying going on the journey with you two. Amazing things are to come!

Sky fits heaven 🥰 is my favorite song of all her career since ray of light album in 1998.. When i saw this part in Paris, i was speachless to see how it was on scene ..... the combinaison with Mer Girl, this song so sad.... Like Madonna, i lost my mother very young and how i undestand the loneliness she is expressing in this song. Honnestly i really love being in your madonna's travel.... you will have so much surprise till 2024!!!! With kindness and hugs. Your little frenchy guy 💜💙💚💛🧡❣️

OMG! Great reaction to the DWT! It is a theatrical experience. I'm so hyped you're getting to the Spanish section and will hear the Spanish version of What if feels like for a Girl

Great Reaction. When I saw this tour there really wasn’t the spoiler of the internet. We were seeing it for the first time. It was spectacular and so much to take in but it flowed and not knowing where it was leading was very exciting to what was next. Feeling assured that the darkness would lead to light. And when the light comes a sense of relief and faith that you made it and the joy that gave was so spectacular. It gave you so much faith in yourself. Everyone was able to get there own personal journey from beginning to end. 💜💜

Brenda, I love you for saying the word “Wild” so much. Makes me smile.

WooHoo Love your Reactions, I hate when it ends, More! You two are experiencing WHY she is QueenOfPOP and she has earned everything she has. She is the Showgirl that all others have to try and follow because ain’t nobody better. Brilliant! The show was awesome LIVE in DETROIT! Thank you ladies. Have a great HOLIDAY 4th too. 🇺🇸 #MegaMichiganMFan84

Great reaction. I knew you would both really appreciate the artistry in this section. I always thought her shooting the dancer at the end was her exorcising her demons, especially coming after Mer Girl. Cant wait for part three... 'Yeehaaa, Ya'll realdy to have a good time?'

The visuals in this tour are spectacular and just a taste of whats to come. Emotional indeed. Thank you so much ladies for these insightful and charming reactions. You both are amazing.

I get you guys so much!! This woman live brings it to another level. Forever and always!

Hi, when the DVD of this tour came out I was a bit disappointed because it couldn't capture everything that happened on stage it was an incredible thing

this section of DWT is better than some people's entire careers in music industry

Congratulations ladies for another great reaction! I always enjoy watching you! Regardind Madonna, she is the definition of Art! Her songs/videos/performances are always symbolic and always provide food for thought for various important issues!

I loved when you realized when the intro to Open Your Heart was being played. Your face lit up!

I say the song "Mer Girl" ("I ran and I ran, I was looking for me...") is definitely about the eternal journey of a soul after leaving its body. We can never fully understand the meaning of life, why we and the universe even exist at all in the first place. The soul will always wonder and wander. ("I'm still running away" being the final line). This song closes the Ray of Light album.

I'm so very very happy to see this! Nobody's perfect is my all time fave Madonna song and was a bit ahead of it's time. Can't wait for you to hear the album version. Sky fits heaven and Frozen are also done so incredibly well here❤

Mer girl is about her mom passing away. She will never forget that, the only thing she can do is keep running away

omg i am waiting so for your reactions....she´s the queen !! thanks for this...alex from germany (confessions and MDNA are over the top)

She wasn’t supposed to remove her wig originally. But she had a wardrobe malfunction in London where her wig literally flew off her head during those spins in Sky Fits Heaven. Although she was mad, the audience enjoyed seeing her lose the wig, so it was incorporated into the routine. This segment is all about her fighting her inner demons and winning in the end. Also, the anime used for the video interlude is called The Perfect Blue and can be found as a full length movie 😊

The Japanese section is possibly the most emotional thing Madonna has ever done on stage. I think the man who dances to the Open Your Heart clip and who she shoots is the spirit of Male violence towards women. People always seem to think it's much better now, but I think it just changed from traditional to post-truth. With the politicisation of reality, women are now not even allowed to define themselves, their bodies or their spaces, anymore.

Been so looking forward to you seeing, experiencing this, there soo much more to come which I can’t wait for you to see, as in eras from Madonna, her creativity is genius

Oh my, I remember the first time I saw this too, blown away, thanks guys 💯🙏🏼👊🏼🥰

What a ridiculously great segment ❤❤ And yes there was too much to take in being there in person but man this tour is up there as one of her best imo. I adore your faces and how mesmerised you both look😊 Great reaction as always ❤❤

Sky Fits Heaven is a BOP. You need to listen to whole Ray of Light of album.

I saw this show in Atlanta and it’s still my favorite Madonna tour .. it’s so creative and theatrical.. no show I have ever seen before or after can even come close!

This is art. Loved to see your reaction to this. I remember I felt the same when I first saw this.

This was my first Madonna concert I got to attend

There is no one like her.

I love that despite the obvious visual connection (the Japanese theme), she did not perform "Nothing Really Matters" - because if she did, it would have been very predictable and lazy, but more importantly the song isn't fit for the segment, musically and story-wise. Instead, on this tour we did get "Lo Que Siente La Mujer", the Spanish version of "What It Feels Like for a Girl" and even more random, a brief instrumental version of "Open Your Heart". Some of her choices sound very, very bizarre on paper, but in reality they worked perfectly.

The world going nuts for Taylor Swift and Madonna was producing shows like this 23 year ago, the swifties don’t have the intellect for a Madonna show.

Enjoying this tour reaction so much ladies! The depth of feeling and analysis is so refreshing

Perfection …pure and simple what a beautiful segment of the DWT

This version of Sky Fits Heaven should’ve been on her Ray of Light album

Wow!!!! This is art!!! Please, part 3!!!!

I am speechless like you, dears!!!! Madonna is the greatest because she's unique and different ❤ Thank you for your emotional reaction ❤❤

She will perform What It Feels Like For A Girl later as well but it took me a while to really get the comic to totally give the message of the song. I was too young at the time but now i get it and it makes this message so much stronger. Cannot wait for you to see her live vocal performance of this song in the next segment. It's one to remember

Yup, Madonna was flying through the air way before P!NK.

You both took note of the darker more sinister and violent themes in this second act and overall tone of the tour. Consider, 15 days later after that concert, the September 11th attacks took place. I recall being completely perplexed at what I had experienced after watching the live HBO broadcast of the Drowned World Tour, exactly like you both were here. It seems voilent times do have their violent themed omens. At 11:09 Brenda, you began to understand it was the melody notes from Open Your Heart. Your face...the surprise!😂👍

Artistry in its finest form. I hope there will be a day that she is recognized for her conceptualization of her music for live performance and especially for pioneering the concert experience as we currently know it

Yea ladies. Well done.

Is the queen ❤

Been so looking forward to you seeing, experiencing this, there’s soo much more to come which I can’t wait for you to see, as in eras from Madonna, her creativity is genius

Love the intense speechlessness when M is performing. It shows how impressive and immersive this show is.

Correct, after "Frozen", that's a brief instrumental version of "Open Your Heart". Officially it's called a "swell"

Madonna once said that political art only has an effect when it bothers us, makes us uncomfortable. DWT is considered her darkest tour, then we have the MDNA tour. Did you like Madonna flying when not even P!nk was flying yet? lol kisses

Brenda, your reaction is so lovely and genuine! Thank you❤❤

This tour must be the best in history, such production is unbelievable!

Such a great genuine reaction to this segment. She really took you on a wild journey there and it showed. This is such a visceral part of the show, so I can only imagine how dark and raw some of these scenes must have felt.

Just wait until you hear her vocals on Frozen in the next tour. It's other worldly.

Wow. I was nervous to really revisit the anime “What it feels like for a girl” interlude, especially with you two nice ladies, because of the violent and sexual content that I’ve always had a hard time with (and after being a bit shellshocked when I saw it live and certainly not expecting that in the middle of a pop concert). But you guys did such a great job of contextualizing and finding the message of what it was all presenting. I don’t know that I need to see that segment anymore, but it was so great hearing you guys walk through how you felt about it. I’ve been impressed throughout your whole journey and wish everyone else “got it” like you two have (and like us fans have known for years!).

Love YOUR Reactions!

This is my fav section of this tour. When I saw it in concert, the part where she comes out for Frozen was just so eerie and cool!

Love it. ❤

Wait till you see what it feels like for a girl live.... you're in for a treat ladies🤣🤣 it's STUNNING!!!!! Enjoy🥰 Xx

IMO, this is the only other Madonna concert section to rival the Religion one from Blonde Ambition.

This Second act is the best live perfomance since the second act from Blond Ambition for me, Mer Girl is the non single song that I will always go back to and Paradise is my favorite Madonna´s song, What it feels like for a Girl comes as a full closure for this part of the show going from classical Japanese imagery to more modern representations, this hole act hits so hard and yet so tender.

I love every video of yours! I’m still waiting on your reaction to my first request! It’s not a visual reaction, but a sonic one if you won’t mind!? It’s a relaxing tune to listen to while on a cruise. In a car. In my experience, places where there bodies of water. Ocean… it’s just.. so relaxing to listen to. So, I’m still not waiting on a reaction from you two for that remix of Frozen!

Las❤ chicas, thank you

Watch the confessions tour, thats a masterpiece

This art. She always like to have art in her concerts. There is a meaning to it. No hate to gaga i love her but madonna always have art in her tours

Love it! Her brain should be studied by science. Brilliant!

Madonna concerts are the only concerts I don’t lose interest in the interludes

Can you Please do Janet Jackson music video, live performances and tour reactions she is a legend and a iconic woman in the world and yes I'm a huge fan of Janet Jackson she means so much to me I love her so much please

Though this is one of my least favorite tours, it’s too dark & gloomy for me, I do absolutely appreciate the artistry,choreography, and storytelling. My favorite thing is her really utilizing her Pre-Fame modern dance training, which lends itself perfectly to this theme.😊

Great Reaction. When I saw this tour there really wasn’t the spoiler of the internet. We were seeing it for the first time. It was spectacular and so much to take in but it flowed and not knowing where it was leading was very exciting to what was next. Feeling assured that the darkness would lead to light.
