There is no one like Madonna. Amazing what she has done, how she broke the taboos, challenged authorities, kept pushing herself, kept pushing everyone, incredible.

60 years old. So many people want to use the age number to describe that she is "old", "irrelevant", "so 80s and 90s". She has paved the American cultural society since the late 80s with tolerance and acceptance. For one specific individual to be able to accomplish what she has done, and still does, make me appreciate Madonna for her legacy past, present, and future!

Madonna transitioned from The Queen of Pop to The Goddess of Pop during this performance

Madonna is a born Goddess. I don't know any female artist nor actress of her power. She is everything bold, spellbounding, and in demand. Her name is Madonna for a reason.

My God. Nearly 40 years as a performer and I still can't take my eyes off of her when she performs. There is only ONE Madonna.

She can turn "just carefully walking down the stairs" into an epic marvelous divine art. That's it, everytime I walk down the stairs I'm gonna envision this.

I think this will be remembered as one of Madonna’s greatest performances

Her outfit from 5:55 onwards is an homage to Brunhilde, one of the strongest female opera characters ever created. She defies the authority of her father Odin for love to him and to the human race, loses her immortality as punishment, becomes the lover and teacher of the greatest of the heroes (named Sigfried) and at the end sacrifies herself in the burning pyre of her lover for the sake of humanity. All that happens along three different operas by Wagner: The Walkyre (the title refers to her), Sigfried (the title refers to her lover) and Twilight of the Gods (the title refers to the death of her in the first place and the rest of the gods). The MET closed that 2018-2019 season with the performance of the whole tetralogy from March 9th to May 11th of 2019. Despite the strong tie between Madonna and Italian/Mediterranean culture, her portrayal of a such a strong and determined nordic heroine really makes sense to me.

"Hallelujah" is STUNNING!!! You can see her soul in those live vocals!

My queen is 60 and she is still standing. Not everyone in this age can deliver what she is delivering here. She’s the true performance artist and it’s sad that our new generation don’t get to understand her legacy or not bother to. To me, she’s a legend and no one can replace her.

Madonna has impacted my life in the most positive of ways with her Artistry her humility her warmth and her sense of service to the marginalized and on the fun side the ability to dance and laugh and be joyous

Nobody does a live performance like Madonna. She is the Queen for a reason, nobody comes close. NOBODY

Haters : 'Madonna is over' Madonna : *COMES DOWN THE STAIRS*

This is a MADONNA performance!!!! Pure art

I love that sort of Gregorian choir in the intro, it gives me the shivers.

Most controversial artist ever! Thats why shes the queen of pop, she paved the way for our generations artists! She always walked her own way, did things that the media didnt like. Standing up for the lgbtq community and the black community! Huge respect for this woman!

Madonna performances are always original, iconic... spellbinding.

this just made me cry. So sad that our country is so mean, Madonna is the last megastar from the 80's alive and instead of celebrating her so many people criticize her. She is an true artist and amazing in all she does.

When Madonna gives a performance one becomes captivated, you can't take your eyes off her from beginning to end. One of the many star qualities that she possess since the beginning of her amazing career. Go Madonna!

This woman always delivers and I have never been disappointed. But also I never expected a Madonna performance to bring me to tears

I was hooked when I heard "Like A Prayer" back in the 80's, she is such a talented woman, who in my opinion is timeless....and still has it.....

People like that, with such CHARISMA, are born once in hundreds of years. Thank you MADONNA.

I dont how can people hate on Madonna when she is sooo pure and real in her performance. I have shivers and tears after I saw this performance

People can say all they want. Madonna is not the best vocalist in the world. We know this. but she does not have to be. Madonna infuses each word with emotion, which is not easy to do or fake. Her rendition of Hallelujah was not perfect pitch or anything, but it was hauntingly beautiful, it was emotional. Emotion is lacking in music today. Am glad she has never stopped.

She’s 60!! Still killing it!! Q U E E N 👑👑

It's amazing how she has mastered her voice in time. I don't think there is anything else for her to master with her voice. She maintains that low voice throughout the song "Hallelujah" and only towards the end does she give us some different inflections. I was struggling internally wanting to hear the soprano come out of me, perhaps higher notes come out of her. But no, she remained constant. I remained quiet and listened. Never seen this video before by the way. Years of working hard and other distractions kept me from seeing so many videos and concerts. I have only recently stepped into the world of Madonna. So much for me to explore. Yes!

She’s bloody brilliant. She’s been my idol since a child. Still killin shit!! Love you love you queen 🌹

NO one can touch Madonna in her art. NO one!! Queen of pop forever.

This woman here! Applause, Applause, Applause! She has the most Amazing body for 60 yrs old in the Industry!Madonna had broken so many barriers in the early 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s, and now through her music. She fought for rights of others and various causes. She had reincarnated herself through various albums and will always be highly respected! There will never be Anyone that can take her place! Through all the years, She still continues to shine 💫

Madonna singing Cohen was utterly beautiful ❤️

Incredible backup musicians. Stunning instrumentals. Beautifully arranged and performed. Love this masterpiece 💜

one of her best performances... simply beautiful

For the idiots who are saying the religious theme is tired now... MET GALA’s 2018 THEME WAS RELIGION.

This is pure art brilliance.

She´s THE QUEEN of POP!

Rarely do we get someone who continues to grow and flourish in their craft. Madonna is a force of nature that just keeps getting better and better as time goes by. She is truly a legend!

This is just pure artistic brilliance.

Madonna is timeless.

I just experienced this masterpiece for the first time. This performance was breathtaking and brought tears to my eyes. Maybe her best live vocals ever. Incredible! I love you Madonna. ❤❤❤

This will go down as one of her best live performances ever! RESPECT!!!

I’ve been a fan since 1983 and I’m so thankful she’s still out there and still kicking ass. “Don’t ever tell me to stop”. Long live the Queen 👑

I literally got on my knees on praying position as I listened to this. At some point it even made my eyes get all watery. This performance is my favorite out of all madonna's performances

The thing with M's performances is that most of the times they are a shock to your senses, leave you speechless and make you think (even when she doesn't deliver the best vocals) and that's true art. ❤️

She creates Magic on the stage.💞🎸💞

I am shook by her vocals, super impressed

The guts this woman has, respect! Imagine this song is 33 years old, and what she had to go through in the country and internationally, including Pope John Paul II banishing her and almost banning her to perform in Italy. What an inspiration to every generation, she’s the torch bearer of women’s freedom and power. She took it all on herself but didn’t back down at any point! 🙏🏻👏

She was my idol growing up. Madonna is amazing. She gave women a voice.

This performance gives me chills every time I watch it. SO epic!!

She is a professional and her art never disappoints !

Her voice never changed. Madonna is a legend. Like A Prayer live sounds like the way it was recorded...

I really appreciate that Madonna seems to have a team set up to record all her performances for us to enjoy

wow! I cant believe this is the 1st time I've seen this... been disconnected from tv and the stupid media for so long... Amazing Madonna, you, like a goddess, as always :)

MADONNA sang so beautifully "Hallelujah", made my tears run..🤗

Who is here before/after the Eurovision concert???

No one can compare to Madonna ...bravissima ballerina e cantante luv ur songs

Who else could it be ? Nobody! She is perfect!

GIMMIE BEAUTIFUL GAME ALREADY!!!

OMG we’re celebrating Madonna’s birthday with a new song! Happy birthday Queen of the Universe, Al Malika Madonna!

She is still the best …

I love the way she shows her soul while performing, she gives everything every time she gets on the stage. She deserves everything she fought for and way more respect than she receives.

Happy birthday material girl I hope ur new album is the best who else thinks??

Madonna is not only an amazing singer, she is a spectacular performer! A true artist# I always feel empowered by her. Happy Birthday !! Feliz Cumpleaños !! Bon Anniversaire !! And many more to come!!

I will finally see her in concert this summer for the 1st time, but up to now, this is my favorite performance from my "queen of pop" ! Once I see her in person, I can die fullfilled!

Simply outstanding. What she does she does with a passion so lacking in todays artists! When Madonna performs its usually with a mission, a statement and its that what connects her to her art, so you believe it! Shes not doing it for doing its sake!

It made me cry... Thank U for everything you have given to us, thank U for fighting against every rule, thank U for giving voice to those who don't have one, thank U for inspiring us to follow your steps, thank U for being who you are. Happy Birthday Madonna!! What a beautiful gift you have given US today!! Long live the one and only Queen of Pop, Her Madgesty 👑❤

That was awesome, 35 years in to her career, that was a career defining performance - she sounded the best ever - i don't care what she looks like. This was art...

Madonna sounded like an angel also on hallelujah last part.. Love u queen.. Long live!!!

Madonna is a legend no one can above her performances no body can above her she's one of a kind the greatest female artist of all Time....

She's the only person who could have remotely pulled off this performance.

Holy crap this live version is amazing

That choir gives me chills. Beautiful

I never saw the entire performance; she really did impress me and her voice- she usually lip syncs- has grown with age and was truly moving. I’m so proud of her! She killed it! I’m a huge fan anyway but this topped the cake , once again, and I’m sure she’ll continue to do so as always. Long live the Queen 👑!!

Yes, finally this performance was uploaded on her official channel. Happy Birthday, Madonna. :)

The choir start singing in the Basque language, Euskera like in MDNA tour. Absolutely moved and overwhelming. That means a lot for The Basque Country Madonna. We´ve always loved you and always will. Happy Birthday and ZORIONAK!!!!

ICONIC

she is a great artist. nobody works harder on her craft. amazing person.

Happy Birthday to the most beautiful woman on earth in the last 60 years. Your music has changed the world forever. Godd bless you💜

This is pure art, there would never be another MADONNA she's it's the one and only, happy birthday queen, keep slaying us with your talent and power.

Madonna is the most original artist forever love her to bits and will alway thanks her to make me want my life to carry on just waiting for her new songs

Whatever Art she delivers had some class which is always unique.

her voice is so beautiful and captivating

*Sings Live. Has beautiful choir for background. Updated drum and bass. This is how it’s done. She sounds beautiful and this performance was theatrical. Bravo!* 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️

How I’m JUST now seeing this as a True Blue Madonna stan, I’ll never know, but… This. Is. ICONIC.

Nobody can't be compare to her she's unique queen of pop

Forever the most successful female artist off all time. Her achievements will never be surpassed, seeing how the music industry has changed so much. Happy birthday to the undisputed Queen of Pop 👑 Long live the Queen!!!!! 👑

She sounds really good.

Thank you, Madonna, for giving me and other women the confidence to be ourselves, be loud, be brash. I’m so lucky to have grown up in an era with you as our icon. ❤

She only still sounds this good because of her role in “Evita” and the vocal training she has kept up with ever since. This is absolutely GORGEOUS. It almost sounds effortless. Hard to believe she’s 60. But hell, if she can still do it and she’s happy, 100% think she should keep going and that’s definitely what I’m seeing here! You go, Madonna! 💕💕💕

A year later, we can only say it was very ahead of its time. Beautiful Game predates Dark Ballet, it was the working title!

And I can't believe I heard the song so many times and barely now I can feel every single lyrics

My God! This was beautiful! I had never seen it before. Madonna is just an Icon. One of a kind. There will never be another. I’m glad I grew up watching her. Long Live Madonna💕

Her voice is still strong!

Happy birthday, Madonna! The world loves you!

I love Madonna all around 🙂❤️🇨🇦. She's awesome loved her since I was about 13 n 48 still love her music. My daughter is 20 n she loves the music I grew up listening too ❤️❤️

Finally Enough Love is coming!

Madonna never dials-in a performance, never lets herself coast. Very inspirational.

Not just a legend, not just a woman blessed with a natural gift, but a badass professional who always strives for excellence and the highest quality in all she does! She is truly a hard worker.

Queen of Pop ❤

That is the reason why she is Queen of Pop

This woman is talented. God Bless her and keep her going.
