One of her best hairstyles, EVER !

She's Not me

Heath Comans definitely one her best performances. Also loved Fever on the Arsenio Hall Show.

i remember her hands SHAKING like crazy

Yes I second that...I was hoping that would be in here which is think is one of her best...there are others but the Oscars stands as a performance full on...

yup, yup

for every rude moment (and there's few), there's ten times worse by other artists, but they're excused because "oh, she's just being cher", or "hahahaha gaga just being silly". people just hate it when an artist is a real artist.. when they see a woman of 60 still being herself and not doing what society wants her to do. and no, she's not notorious for cutting her sets short and doesn't lip synch. you're a typical hater who only hears what they wanna hear. I bet you love politically correct and safe lady gaga or beyonce, who do what the media wants them to do @Carolina PFan

But if she were a guy being rude, crude and vulgar it would be A-OK, I'm sure. I've been a die hard since '84, so I'll bring some of her comments to light again. As far as her gigs being late, I am certain it didn't only apply to the Blond Ambition Tour, but in Truth Or Dare she explains that things " things f**** up, and boy did they". Her shows are so elaborate and intricate that all the working parts have to be, well working, or someone could get seriously injured. I've worked in production and am familiar with how badly things can go off the rails and quick too.There are times when an artist has to cut their set in order to accommodate for time. The contract with the venue may dictate what time the show has to be over, local ordinances may have an influence (such as noise and crowd control ordinances), the city may even have an influence as to when the show HAS to be over. Not by her or any other artist doing. She's quite the perfectionist and as was stated "whatever she does, she wants to do to the best of her ability." Pricing! I agree 100%, they are bloody outrageous! However, she only sees a percentage of that and doesn't set the prices. We have American Express, Live Nation/Ticketmaster, Stub Hub, Citi and everyone else who snatches up tons of seats and then brokers them out to us. I've been to several "sold out" shows only to find the venue about 85% to 90% "full." It's a horrible and unfair practice but we have to roll with the punches. As she has tried to justify, "people spend money on useless things everyday." I can't tell you the number of times I've gone in to a store to get bread, eggs and milk only to come out $80 later with things I think I "need". Lastly, lip-syncing. I have two thoughts on that: first, you move like that at over 60 years of age, have several costume changes, sing (live) 18 to 21 songs without missing a beat and not sounding out of breath and I WILL gladly hand over $300 to $600 to you. As she put it, she's a performer, you're paying to see her perform, while singing is a part of it, we can't expect every second of it to be live until she sits on a stool and plays guitar and serenades us for 2 hours. Then we would be griping at how boring a show she puts on and what a waste THAT is.

sorry every female musician is bashed: Mariah, Beyonce, Jlo, Taylor Swift, Whitney, all bashed. What's new. it's a misogynist's world.

Carolina PFan Exactly

this is what exactly i am gonna say. i like imperfections but she managed to be big and be around for a long time🥰💯✔️

Yes, she is an emotive singer. Her songs are full of emotion, that's what makes her music, especially her ballads so good and memorable. I adore Madonna!

I agree. Crazy For You always makes me tearful.

really? I get nothing from her emotionally - just a need of approval and manipulation. she is truly a performer - her self is all theatrics. I bet her childhood sucked ass.

Agreed!

She's SO fake

But Oprah wasn't singing along. She was chewing on her cud.

Hahahaha

Just like The Beatles never had the strongest voices, which NOBODY brings up

@@samosler4009 yes but you have to understand something! The beatels are mans and Madonna is a woman!

Exactly. She and Michael Jackson > the whole industry

@@samosler4009 Paul did.

I agree. Both her and Janet use their voices in beautiful ways!

Sweeperboy Beautifully written. I’ve admired her grit and her undying, inspiring ability to go beyond “survive” well into “thrive” despite the naysayers.

She has two carriers, one, when she was mainstream up until Ray of Light, and after that, when she became a Niche artist for rave/techno music. A totally different audience. For me it fell out of public grace with the covers, the samples, and the duets. I guess many people feel that she should have retired for a while until she could get really good material, like she used to when she was mainstream.

Sweeperboy i feel that today, you have won the internet. thank you... & thank you Madonna

To the original poster, you are VERY HONEST in your take and I appreciate this and agree with you! That's the point that most are trying to make, not bashing Madonna, but her fans are acting like Beyonce's Beyhive! Stop swarming guys! There's no disputing she has changed like a chameleon and adapted to the changes in the music industry for decades and decades, from 80's into the 90's, into the 2000's and into today, did movies, other ventures, remained relevant very well. It's not easy to remain relevant even for the best vocalists, like Mariah Carey, bc the youngsters don't know these singers legacies and weren't around when they were in their prime for decades! I also think the younger generation has different musical standards and a different style, and the requirement for an artist to be able to sing & have vocal ability is not important anymore - just the way they look, creative lyrics w catchy hooks and melodies, cute outfits, radio play, and dancing. You speak truth in saying that Mad has never ever tried to be or been a great vocalist and has never claimed to be (to my knowledge!) but it's her work ethics, drive, abilities to write and produce music, play multiple musical instruments, dance and do choreo, and write songs that adapt to current times. Icons possess this and ingenuity, perserverance, not giving up, etc. 100% agreed. Still, she is definately an icon, there is no disputing that! Same for singers like Janet Jackson - not the BEST vocalist, not the worst but she has other talents and the ability to adapt, and is an ICON, although I believe she took a personal sabbatical over the last recent years and moved over seas to another country, had a relationship, got married to a man from the Middle East, had children, and wanted a break from music and fame, living somewhat of a normal life in another country, especially after Michael was murdered by his doctor and passed away so tragically and suddenly and all the media coverage and obsession of that forever afterwards.

@@badideabearcub2747 When you say she has 2 carriers, you mean 2 main things that caused her to "go off track", so to speak? If so, I would agree with what you said. Trying to do the techno thing was great for 1 or 2 songs but no more and I miss her singing with actual ability and singing higher. I'm guessing she smokes cigarettes and cant go high anymore. That's what's happening to me. I've lost most of my upper range.

Reallly???? U must be kidding

sure she must be an entertainer becasue she is not the best singer. i am a huge fan of madonna but i am honest with what i hear. i saw her in 80th and 90th in concert and believe me, her live vocals are not really good. she took lessons in 2000 so she got better. you can hear that when u listen to oler performances.

Carolina PFan and blah blah blah. Relax. She’s called the Queen of Pop for a reason. Your comment on KZfaq can’t change anything lol she puts on best shows in pop music, and people still pay big money to see her live. She’s perfect entertainer, that’s why I fell in love with her. Like, i adore Gaga, but her shows make me throw up really. There’s no better entertainer than Madonna

Carolina PFan Who told u a pop singer has to be an actress. Good or bad it is no the case. A Queen has to be smart and interesting and she is everything. Madonna reigns!

@Carolina PFan you are so interested in Madonna and know her very well. I bet it must be very distressing for you to see how much she is still loved. (By the way, no one here is interested in your comments.) My opinion is that she is an artist. Not just a singer. She has helped so many people to grow up, to survive, to make it through they wildest and saddest days. Many people (lgbtq, straight, black, white, just "not fitting"...) will be forever thanking and loving her. This is a fact.

Carolina PFan Truth hurts.

For sure. Completely agree.

Emma Grace Frost She might play rescue me on her new tour

Her voice during Evita was good for Madonna's level - it wasn't great by any means though.

Emma Grace Frost she was not good at Evita Peron...?

Madonna will always be an icon. That will never change, but she was never a great singer. Her Evita was ok, but it's a an Andrew Lloyd Webber piece. As such it's been done by so many great vocalists. When listening to others who have performed it, like Elaine Paige, Lea Salonga and Nicole Scherzinger, Madonna's lack of dynamics, range and power really becomes apparent.

My favourite of hers

Amazing sound

Mmm ur cute mr vitor. Yum.

I was not a fan of Erotica growing up, but listening to it now I never realized the album has such great music! I really enjoy the album now :).

'erotica' was concept album before it's time. that's why it was not succesfull. but it still has some masterpieces of pop.

Omg so true i just love to listen to her voice

Give yourself a break, since when are rich people underrated??? :-DD

Veronica4u2day Madonnas voice is brilliant!!

How is she underrated, though? According to who? Her ticket prices are beyond, she has done the Super Bowl, she has been considered the queen of pop by some. So....uh....

Carolina PFan ok Gaga fan, come back to your diva

Agree about Erotica. It was so underrated cos of the sex book but its brilliant.

They're in my Top 5 too, you have such a good taste.

Bedtime Stories and her debut are amazing too. Perfect dance albums.

American Life, the most underrated album by a major star throughout all times. It is absolutely Brilliant!!

I don't know why you like Erotica

The weakest compliment I've ever heard 😂

Jajaja

she’s a better singer than most people think she is

And Madonna is not self destructive; that is something rare in other stars..

Very true

No Disagree. Lady GaGa @ Beyoncé Can Outsing Madonna & Put A Better Performance.

Alexandra Christo lol. No

@@medusachristo3725 But did Madonna build her career off of stealing from others artistically after being kept on a backburner for years after her first album didn't take off and change her genre - stage name - wardrobe - performance style- lyrical writing - audience - etc?

Everytime I watch it, makes me cry. It is beautiful.

Donnie Darko Rebel heart first tract. Audio tune in under thirty seconds. The voice is no different than a instrument, you loose what you don't use.

Andrew Llyold Webber picked Maddona to sing in Argentina as Eva Perrone because he knew she had the talent to do it.

Maddona has shown time and time again she is able to reinvent herself. The early version of Madonna evolved into a more mature vocalist as the years went by. She is a versatile artist and was a true triple threat throughout her career.

Carolina PFan it’s so stupid of you to hate under every comment here. Did you come here to say just how bad she is? If you don’t like an artist, why don’t you just IGNORE videos about her? Lmao

She WAS the queen of pop, however, I dont believe she has that title anymore.

@@LoriFahy why she dont have that Titel anymore? Its very sad that people only said that about Madonna. When a new Snger comes around, always the same, she is the new Queen of Pop bla bla, but when a new male singer comes around nobody say things like mj is not the king anymore! Why? How comes that people say such things only to a woman? She is not more on the Top and she doesnt need it anymore to be. Matiah, Janet, Celine or Cher also cant do much more on the Charts then Madonna! But Madonna still does it better then the others from the 80 or 90! Its her Titel you cant take it away from her. If u find somone who has sold more then 335 mio records and somone who is the biggest touring act of all time maybe you can call her queen of pop but eben then you cant. The inpact and the influenced things that madonna has done for the whole music industry is amazing Sry bad english 🤘😘

Carolina PFan a vocal coach says Madonna CAN sing, why would people really care about what YOU think? The dumbest thing to so is to write hateful comment about the artists you don’t like

madonna said it herself that the new generation queen of pop is katy perry

@Carolina PFan R I G H T !!!!!!

David Priésky I forgot she sang that sooo beautifully💯💯💯💯

Totally agree!

Was looking for this! NO WAY she could have recorded Ray of Light without the Evita vocal training!!

I really loved her singing during The Virgin Tour. I thought it was pretty damned good she was very versatile I liked her live versions better than her studio,video versions

How do you think her 1980's songs would have been if she had received that training BEFORE? It intrigues me because I always imagined how songs like Dress You Up, Material Girl, Crazy For You and Burning Up could have sounded.

@@sergioampv1640 I think Crazy for You is one of her best early songs honestly. Her voice sounds REALLY nice and rich compared to her high tones at that time on her other songs.

I am here for Madame X!!

I will be exicited to see how much autotune it will have.

Me too 👍

I am so ready!!! 💝💝💝

EnricoFusai i can t no Walt more !! Kiss from France enrico

Take a Bow with Babyface is fantastic.One of her best

You hit the nail on the head with this. I think a lot of people have technically good voices, but they don't have (1) instantly recognisable voices (2) true emotion and feeling and (3) a pleasant tone. She may have inconsistent live performances but she always gives of her best, and often under challenging situations for singing (e.g. cavorting around unlike some who mainly stand with a mic - though there's nothing wrong with that).

isnt she a Virgo?

@LusiFr Are you asking what Zodiac sign Madonna is? She's a Leo, having been born on 16th August, couldn't you just tell she's a Leo?

My third! :D

Aww, I'm a few years behind... MY first album was Let's Dance... on cassette tape!! lol

She was, all the way up until 2012 .

Kids today can't take more than a world tour without cracking.

👍

yes we ignore that aspect, Im glad you said that

danniblusanni nice! I love Madonna and your opinion helps shape my voice. Greetings from Holland!

LOVE IT Greetings from The Netherlands also

Agreed! I feel like after she did confessions on the dance floor her music fell apart. So disappointing. What I think she needs to do is go full diva and do an album of full-on slow, beautiful ballades. This rapper look and madame x stuff she’s been doing is like she’s trying too hard to be relevant and it comes off tacky. She doesn’t have to do this, she’s Madonna!

Kinda

Hye fellow malaysian

Also her power of goodbye

Agree

She is a great vocal? Yes!

@@RJhon2C Geat? Basic or even worse

perfect description of Madonna. she is multidimensional whose persona was larger than life.

personal preference, I prefer the 90's vocals Madonna had before she received vocal training for Evita. Bedtime Stories and Erotica era

I will admit she is talented in that respect, but she is needlessly tendentious only for the purposes of shocking people and working the business. That doesn't make her an artist, it makes her a business woman and that isn't art either.

@@StrmgrXL But I'm glad that she learn to sing with belly, not throat. Just see how her voice is still so beautiful at 60. If she keep yelling with throat like BA tour and Girlie Show, she may just like Whitney and Mariah's voice when older.

agreed with everyone.. however it has been hard for her to keep up with the changing times (specially on her last 4 albums), which unfortunately for her, make her a has been

Ste.B. Slow down papi 🥰😆

I've had that stuck in my head for days. Lol

Cha Cha has NO 3...

@@wiibaron facts

You mean *_Medellín._*

I always thought she was a good singer since she first came out....especially Borderline I think some people compare her too much to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey who are much better singers, but Madonna far better as an overall entertainer. She's very good singer She has versatility. She can put in a lot of emotion in her singing and bring out a lot of emotion in others she's talented imho

Do you actually know what an octave is?

That's not a lot. Those are not technicalities or skills.
