I have nothing but the deepest affection and love and admiration for Madonna. I am 33 years old and it is only now, after reading an article, that I realize, what a great form of art her work is. It touches me like no other music, it is the dedication, the perfection of the message of the songs and their visualization. No other musician does what she does, she stands in line with the great classical artists like Michelangelo. This dedication to express herself produces pieces, that can stand alone like a painting, with a deeper meaning. -- It is a pity, that John Lennon couldn`t see her, I think he would have been enthusiastic. Her approach resembles Lennon`s, only that she is much more sucessful at reaching her aim, for various reasons. And no wonder McCartney didn`t like her, he was never an artist like Lennon, just a musician.

A masterpiece. I watch this performance several times a week. It gets better every time. Madonna is a true artist. Sometimes I wonder what her kids think when they see everything she has done. Music, movies, concerts, books, etc. If you want to see another good performance check out into the groove from Argentina. It will make you have a good day, ya Vogue 1990 mtv awards is amazing.

The best thing is taking a popular song (and video for the 90s) at an awards show to create an original performance with original costuming and semi reminiscent choreography of the music video amd make a one of a kind performance. This wasn't recreated. This was original. And that is what makes Madonna part an icon in the last 40 years of music, video, dance, and persona.

@kyletpreston4421

3 жыл бұрын

Yes! I have enjoyed her since 1985. Madonna has influenced so many music artists even today. The fun of Madonna’s career has always remained unpredictable performances live on stage and music choices for her to explore . She represents and inspires people that appreciate her all over the world. Love her or hate her ... the woman is a force to be reckoned with. The media has for years screwed with the truth versus fiction and she’s still here. Nobody can take that from her.

This performance is so iconic that no one has ever complained this was lipsynced so unapologetically she didn't even wore a mic. Edit: chill! I didn't say it in a mean way. Just pop royalty is allowed to lipsync. Specially those who danced the hell out of theirs in their prime (such Madonna, Britney, Janet)

Were the fans pre-recorded? The sync would be incredibly hard to pull off. All you would need to do is mic the thing properly. You can hide quite a lot in those corsets ;) I was hearing voices come in and out of double tracking in a really interesting way. I suspect that when Madonna said “pose” that was live though much of it was synced. This performance is probably the best thing that Madonna ever did and the audio production is a fascinating part of it.

I think people tend to forget that she is not just a "singer", she's an actual artist, her performances are her art. We don't bash painters for painting nudity, we find it beautiful. This is her art. Its not on a canvas, its moving, it's alive. It is art, and Madonna makes masterpieces. There will never be another artist like her.
