Madonna's mic was on baby! Full out singing and dancing non-stop. No lip-syncing on that Live Aid stage. I remember these performances like it was yesterday. What a time to be alive!
All that moving, dancing, and really singing...no voice-overs, no lip syncing, no tapes to fill in....this is the real deal. To sing and be winded takes strength, stamina, and training. She is basically singing while leading an aerobics class! Amazing! I loved being in my 20s in the '80's! Best decade ever for music.
YES THEIR IS A TRACK PLAYING WITH HER, not all solo. Harmonies come in. you may not thionk it was necessary but allowed timing do keep up with. Like Karaoke. Yes it is her also
You will notice when Madonna dances and sings live you have hear it, it’s normal to be out of breath and to change the melody as needed to get through the number. This is what live performances were all about, the artist performing their songs with musicians giving you something unique and special.
My wife and I were there in Philly, we had really bad seats, but we were there for the party. Madonna brought as much energy to the day as any other act.
and not just musical ability, but also marketing ability. Cyndi Lauper was noticeably more talented than Madonna, and yet, Madonna made many times more $$ than CL. She gave the public exactly what they wanted: Little girls want to BE a Madonna (a beautiful woman), they don't want to be a misfit with red hair.
@@pedestrianrights1257😆🤣 Cyndi lauper more talented than Madonna 🙄 what drugs are you on man ain't no way Cyndi lauper was more talented than Madonna, she has Cyndi lauper beat Both singing voice and dancing.. what did Cyndi lauper do better than Madonna?😂
I disagree. Madonna used autotune very often, both in recordings and live performances. But I think she used it wisely and she can do it because she is professional. Very different from singers in the beginning using autotune every time they record or perform.
@@talkingleds nah autotune did not start until the late 90s even for recordings. Even backing vocal tracks were not regularly used live back then because they were unreliable on tape. Unless it was a TV performance or taped performance artists sang live. This is true entertainment compared to many pop acts of today who do the bare minimum.
Being a teenager in the 1980s was the best. I can’t believe that 1984 was 40 years ago. Doesn’t seem possible. I was 16 in 1984 and turned 17 the end of July.
I love this song, her very first big hit! I taught aerobics to this, got my college degree, married the LOVE OF MY LIFE, all in the mid eighties! I married the most handsome, sexy, sweet man that God ever lut on this earth in 1985. He passed away from cancer, a brain tumor. In March of 2012. He was/is my soulmate, and he always took me out dancing, we got dressed UP & GOT DOWN!!! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN, 80's music takes me too my happy places! I am 60 now, but I crank it up and dance like I am 22!
Sorry for your loss. I’m 23 right now and love going out with my significant other. We’re in college, get dressed up, and dance all night :-) nothing like finding someone who matches your energy!

Powerful & energetic music that we resonate with affects the brain, nervous and immune system that communicate. This music helped heal you. May God bless you with many more years of life.
Agreed, I just wish everyone today could experience the blind optimism of the 80s for 30 days. Sure we had our problems but we never thought for a moment that they couldn't be overcome. There was a lot of love in the air thanks to music & art.
It was a special decade. Madonna, Prince, Michael, New Wave, the begining of dance music.. Even Rock was cooler that time with Bon Jovi..Good Times. Awesome times..

That's not fair, there are loads of outstanding talents around now. Lady Gaga? And the murdering of creativity in popular music has nothing to do with today's young - my generation did that in the 1990s.
@@gordon1545 Lada Gaga is the exception, not the rule. You know that most artist nowadays can't sing live without a back up track and auto tune. MOST of them rely solely on gimmicks, sex, raunchiness and the same producers.

to be fair, as a lifelong music lover and someone that considers themselves well educated on music, the current generation does have some incredibly talented people. however the entire world has changed, so has the way people consume music, so many fads later, music is not constructed in the same way anymore.
Totally agree. It was summer, I was 16 and held a party at my parents' place in and outside the house. There were about 50 friends of mine. Sometimes some of us went inside to watch Live Aid for a short while to party afterwards again. 1983 till 1988 was the happiest time of my life.
For us, new generations, it feels so fantastic and inspiring to have the priceless oportunity to see a young Madonna full of power and passion teaching us how an artist must behave on stage. Almost 40 years later since this performance, she still continues giving us lessons in every act of her. Long live the queen. 💛
He shook up the 80s big time with his style, voice,music,fashion, people were dressing like him in the clubs. He was always on every talk show. He broke the pop music mold.🤩
I can't believe how incredibly in shape she was. She's literally dancing and singing non stop and you can't even hear in her voice that she's out of breath. This was when she was about to go Sky Hi. Those were such great times!
@@InspiredFortunes there is a reason why Like a Virgin is her best selling album in the US, also 85 is when every single teenage girl was dressing like her.
Her fanbase would have been a lot larger if she didn't completely alienate men. I lived through the 80's and I remember Madonna being very much for girls only while her main competitor in the pop music business (Michael Jackson) appealed to men and women equally, and had a much larger following as a result.
Madonna kills it! Love the way she comes on stage... swaying and smiling, so full of life and energy! Seems happy and takes me back to such a wonderful period in this crazy life! Thank you Madonna! What a perfect moment in time! I’ve watched this about 100 times now... never gets old! 💯 Still better than any of the crap put out today!
Madonna in 1985 was the hottest new star on the planet. I was 14 and me and my friends absolutely loved her. She had an energy and sass and style we'd never really seen before.
This concert and one on Wembley stadium, were simultaneously broadcasted on almost 95% of TV sets in the world. This is something so amazing, never achieved before, and certainly could not be achieved even close nowadays. I was living in a socialist country in eastern Europe, with only two channels, state owned, and they broadcast it live. I was 10 and watched some great live performances for the first time, no stars were doing concerts in East Europe then. Madonna’s performance is amazing, her stage presence is so mesmerizing, she was a star even then, but you could see she was becoming world famous.
Well sorry to bring up this, but when talking to the crowd later about the hot weather and her being slightly overdressed for the occasion, She said "I ain't taking shit off today...they might hold it against me 10 years from now" That was a direct reference to the Playboy and Penthouse magazine nude pictures of her that was released right around the time of Live-Aid.
I lived across the stadium when this happened. Everyone on my block went and got food and drinks during this, because she was treated like a flash in a pan. I stayed and danced my ass off.
Me too. I’m reading Mary Gabriel’s new bio of Madonna and as I get to each event in the book, like this classic performance, I watch and listen before resuming reading. Time makes us forget how talented performers like Madonna were and revisiting makes me so thankful I was alive as a young person to witness and experience. ☮️❤️🕺🎸
This was all live vocals. No backing track. She truly is underated as a singer. Whenever there's a best singers list she's never there. Its all about hitting the highest notes and vocal gymnastics but its never about singing with real physical techniques like this. And besides, her range from singing pop, dance, r&b, jazz, rock, folk, and standards is as varied as that of Linda Ronstadt's anthology.
Madonna is. Awesome here this. Is one of her best performances ever seriously. She put her. Heart and soul. Into theres hunger everywhere. Love makes the world go round dont. Judge a man. Until your in. His shoes excellent. Words. She looks beautiful. Go girl 6 27 24. Whose here with me 2024 i cant believe this is almost 40. Years ago timeless and precious
Madonna in a live performance is out of this world. In this live aid performance she raises the bar so high that it is practically impossible for any modern female singer to match the non stop dancing while singing without autotune 🔥🔥🔥. Amazing breath control. If any of these modern female singers tries this without auto tune singing and dancing nonstop and then compare this to this live performance you will then appreciate the greatness of this singer. Madonna is simply the best.
She was a phenom, still is. Without a doubt, no one else is like Madonna, as she is an icon beyond compare. But, just as a matter of fact, Pink has a much better vocal range, and sings while performing gymnastics and acrobatics simultaneously.
Eu sou uma eterna apaixonada desde 1985 e eu ganhei um presente de ver ela aqui em Copacabana Rio em 4 de maio de 2024 eu amei muito mesmo e ela está linda aos 65 anos .eu chorei muito em ver ela sou fã eterna .dancei muito holiday na minha adolescência
smiling , dancing, singing and dressed to kill...what a quadruple threat...she's amazing and all live and sweaty..just incredible to watch, she is a bella donna
She was laying a bit low in ‘85 since those famous nude photos of hers surfaced. I remember that someone (in the crowd I think) yelled something to her along the lines of “Take something off!” and she said “I ain’t taking sh/t off!” 🤣
Viva los 80... Me encanta Madonna!!!! Desde qué escuche sus canciones... Sigo escuchando sus canciones!!!! 👏👏❤Yo era bien jovencita... Tengo 51 años... Las canciones de antes eran las mejores!!!!
I’m 25 years old and I’ve always known about Madonna’s “hit songs” but after the release of Madame X (which I love), I really wanted to go back and explore her discography in full. I’m so glad I did because her albums are all different, some better than others. I really love Ray of Light and Erotica. Masterpieces. Bedtime Stories is good too. And of course Confessions for good dance music. I’ll be seeing Madonna for the first time in concert this October and I’m pumped. It’s always been on my bucket list to see this woman live. I want to cherish her while we still have her around.
That girl OWNED the 80's and 90's. Barely a year missed without one OR MORE hits on the charts. (Correction Madonna was second to Whitney in the 80s) And the true happiness in her smile, this is only like 3 years into her hit run.....
@@сиднипрескотт-щ3л no, also the 90s. Vogue, Justify My Love, This used to be my playground, Take a bow, Frozen, Ray Of Light, The Power Of Good-Bye were major hits all over the planet. And Music in 2000 was even bigger than anything she’s done since Vogue.

Almost 40 years later since this performance, she still continues giving us lessons in every act of her. Long live the queen. 💛
Verdade
He shook up the 80s big time with his style, voice,music,fashion, people were dressing like him in the clubs. He was always on every talk show. He broke the pop music mold.🤩
Who's he?
@ambiecutler3263 this review was meant for Boy George.
I can't believe how incredibly in shape she was. She's literally dancing and singing non stop and you can't even hear in her voice that she's out of breath. This was when she was about to go Sky Hi. Those were such great times!
LOVE MADONNA XXX
Her diet in nyc as a struggling artist was peanuts popcorn and yogurt
It was 95 degrees at JFK Stadium when she started her set.
She was at her peak then, to dance and sing together is some doing
An Extraordinary Day An Extraordinary Performance An Extraordinary Artist LOVE MADONNA ALWAYS XXX
She was completely in her sweet spot right here. Never as good, and would never be any better. This was the Madonna that took the world by storm.
Wrong. She would make bigger waves with Like a Prayer and Vogue 5 years later. Then even more with Ray of Light.
@@InspiredFortunes lol popularity wise 85 was her peak, at least in the US.
@@johnsonmark65 BS. She hadnt even released True Blue yet. In 1986 that album would change everything.
@@InspiredFortunes there is a reason why Like a Virgin is her best selling album in the US, also 85 is when every single teenage girl was dressing like her.
Her fanbase would have been a lot larger if she didn't completely alienate men. I lived through the 80's and I remember Madonna being very much for girls only while her main competitor in the pop music business (Michael Jackson) appealed to men and women equally, and had a much larger following as a result.
One of her best songs. Madonna was unimaginably gorgeous and showed that she can do cardio and sing. Live Aid was a once in a lifetime event.
This was what was on when I first tuned on that day almost 40 years ago. Hard to Believe it, I'll never forget it.
Madonna's enjoying herself here. Great smile and super moves. Just what was needed at Live Aid.
People were dying of starvation in Africa and you guys used it as an excuse to have a big singing party lol
@@lepetitchat123 that’s the POINT! They raised MILLIONS of dollars to aid the starving people in Ethiopia.
Madonna is a perfect example of beauty with brain
Madonna is much more than that.
yes, she is a talentless dried up old bag who can't sing or act for toffee.@@guitar11diary
Madonna kills it! Love the way she comes on stage... swaying and smiling, so full of life and energy! Seems happy and takes me back to such a wonderful period in this crazy life! Thank you Madonna! What a perfect moment in time! I’ve watched this about 100 times now... never gets old! 💯 Still better than any of the crap put out today!
she couldn't have been that happy, she was married to Sean Penn at the time.
@@syko188 are you a sadist?
@@syko188 I believe she’s said in interviews that he was the love of her life? She seemed super happy in this video!
Yes! And she was authentic in her happiness. That was contagious. What a talent! Great dancer.
Look up Queen Live Aid
.... if you want to be reeaaally impressed
Remember, that was in the middle of Summer and she is performing at the highest level. Much respect...a true performing!
I watched bohemian rhapsody and now I’m watching all the performances. Beautiful!!!
I agree ,,
same here
Kimberly Rolon me too hhhhhh
Same 👍
Me too I was 16 years old when Live Aid came TV it was on from morning to night.
Madonna in 1985 was the hottest new star on the planet. I was 14 and me and my friends absolutely loved her. She had an energy and sass and style we'd never really seen before.
Magic. Re-discovering how fabulous she and the times were. Love love ❤️
Great stuff!!
Memory lane where everything is pure musical extravaganza of the 80's...and beyond! ☺️🥰Maddona thanks for the music 🎶🎵
Love her beautiful smile when she turns round in the beginning , she looks so happy . She is so enthusiastic in this performance & is a lot of fun 🤩💖
I was in 4th grade I think at this time and every girl wanted to be Madonna.
Dançar e cantar?! Sem backup você?! Amo essa mulher ❤
She's so amazing and true legend... singing and dancing live with all her energy!!!
She is not legend
those backing dancers need a massive clap too
is ono of them the guy from the movie breaking?
MASSIVE claps to those two boyzzz
Lyndon B. Johnson and the late Michael Perea.
@@marcoantonioherreracuevas590 I can't answer that.
This concert and one on Wembley stadium, were simultaneously broadcasted on almost 95% of TV sets in the world. This is something so amazing, never achieved before, and certainly could not be achieved even close nowadays. I was living in a socialist country in eastern Europe, with only two channels, state owned, and they broadcast it live. I was 10 and watched some great live performances for the first time, no stars were doing concerts in East Europe then. Madonna’s performance is amazing, her stage presence is so mesmerizing, she was a star even then, but you could see she was becoming world famous.
I saw it at hungarian television...from Romania close to the border with a yagi antenna...
She has Unbelievable energy
Those many people, without a cellphone, all ears to the artist.
That’s how it should be 😎😎
Eu tenho celular pra passar pra Madonna???
Não eu vou te ensinar como ser uma pessoa melhor porque Deus existe
No auto tune, no garbage, no nastiness, no gross lyrics. She is singing and dancing!
Well sorry to bring up this, but when talking to the crowd later about the hot weather and her being slightly overdressed for the occasion, She said "I ain't taking shit off today...they might hold it against me 10 years from now" That was a direct reference to the Playboy and Penthouse magazine nude pictures of her that was released right around the time of Live-Aid.
and it's very ordinary. Queen on the other hand...
@@luckyescape2708 U2 were waaaayyy better than Queen.
@@Macca-rb5ok not at Live Aid.
She could have used that autotune very well though.
I lived across the stadium when this happened. Everyone on my block went and got food and drinks during this, because she was treated like a flash in a pan. I stayed and danced my ass off.
Loved those energy in live performances back then. Raw, Authentic artist and talents 💖
The energy of how happy she was up there..... Omg she is a legend she is Queen of Pop and she from my state Michigan
Madonna my idol. She is one of a kind. No other entertainer can match her.
Albino Natividad I like Madonna, but that statement is ridiculous.
Your stupidity is incomprehensible
@Sabah Zarid he wasn't able to move at age 40 lmao don't be dumb he's overrated.
She's my idol too.
People get way too offended over someone else’s opinion.
Yep I'm here still loveing Madonna music 😊
Me too. I’m reading Mary Gabriel’s new bio of Madonna and as I get to each event in the book, like this classic performance, I watch and listen before resuming reading. Time makes us forget how talented performers like Madonna were and revisiting makes me so thankful I was alive as a young person to witness and experience. ☮️❤️🕺🎸
Better times... nothing compares!!! The 1980's!!! 🥺😭😭
Nothing
For sure one hundred percent nothing compared to the 80 s. Music. People. Places everything truth be told. Truth sets you free. 6 20 25😅
❤❤❤❤
This is why Madonna is the queen of Pop
Hi Sarah hope you're okay?
@@davidmark7011 why are you copying and pasting the same comment answering to women you don't f***ing know you bot.
@@davidmark7011 are you a bot?
I think Janet would've been another solid contestant. But Madonna's dancing and stage performance and presence is better.
I think Mariah Carey owns that title
This was all live vocals. No backing track. She truly is underated as a singer. Whenever there's a best singers list she's never there. Its all about hitting the highest notes and vocal gymnastics but its never about singing with real physical techniques like this. And besides, her range from singing pop, dance, r&b, jazz, rock, folk, and standards is as varied as that of Linda Ronstadt's anthology.
She earned every penny she made.
De verdad es la verdadera reina del pop nadie la iguala lo mejor claro hay otras qctambien.cantan.muy bonito
Cantar y bailar sin desafinar , una genia eterna!!
Ella no bailo nada solo se movió
@@elizabeth_7761 y es que acaso al bailar no hay que moverse? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@elizabeth_7761 eso se llama coreografía, si no conoces busca el significado en google
Música linda
Verdade ela e show show
Damn, 80’s were the best era 😭
Man !! She killed it!!! Her voice sounds amazing while dancing!!! Wow I forgot how great she is
Hi Rachel💐💐
Madonna is. Awesome here this. Is one of her best performances ever seriously. She put her. Heart and soul. Into theres hunger everywhere. Love makes the world go round dont. Judge a man. Until your in. His shoes excellent. Words. She looks beautiful. Go girl 6 27 24. Whose here with me 2024 i cant believe this is almost 40. Years ago timeless and precious
she can sing she can act and she can dance. she truly is the queen of rock and roll.
she can't act for toffee, do me a favour! You mean she is the Queen of Flop.
Amo muito e tive a maior sorte de ver ela aqui em Copacabana Rio em 4 de maio de 2024 vir de perto eu chorei muito até passei mal
She’s been kicking asses for as long as I’ve been on this planet...
Good LORD....not a single waver in her voice...all that jumping around...that is very hard to do!! Love it!!!❤❤❤
I guess you've heard annother audiotrack or something cause the singing was horrible.
Hi melissa hope you're okay?
Non horrible le son. Elle chante faux !
This performance goes to show you how legendary Madonna is! No autotune or lip-syncing.
Madonna in a live performance is out of this world. In this live aid performance she raises the bar so high that it is practically impossible for any modern female singer to match the non stop dancing while singing without autotune 🔥🔥🔥. Amazing breath control. If any of these modern female singers tries this without auto tune singing and dancing nonstop and then compare this to this live performance you will then appreciate the greatness of this singer. Madonna is simply the best.
I agree totally
Came from nowhere and became the best selling solo female artist ever.
I shave.
You shave.
He/she shaves.
Sekoja brada so svoe vreme 😾🇲🇰🐺
She was a phenom, still is. Without a doubt, no one else is like Madonna, as she is an icon beyond compare. But, just as a matter of fact, Pink has a much better vocal range, and sings while performing gymnastics and acrobatics simultaneously.
Madonna looks happier and the world too in the time.
Great comment and so true... I have lived both worlds.
much better times than now..
Unfortunately she and her friends are part of the reason the world is unhappier and more confrontational now.
@@winstondeocampo699 Right...
The world was happier? Strange comment considering this was literally a concert for famine relief in Africa
Aqui novamente em 2022, a nostalgia continua!!! Grande sucesso dos anos 80 aqui no Brasil !!
Precisamente!

Yes!!!!!
Simplemente maravilhosa me lembro como se fosse hoje eu tinha 15 anos fiquei assistindo até o fim...
Madonna is sooo iconic!!! She's like. The 80s!!!!
I LOVE her energy, back when madonna still had life in her performances
I love when Madonna is just singing and having fun and not trying to provoke or shock...
But she became that Madonna because she had the courage to provoke and shock, not only a (one more) singer who wanted to sing
She was laying a bit low in ‘85 since those famous nude photos of hers surfaced. I remember that someone (in the crowd I think) yelled something to her along the lines of “Take something off!” and she said “I ain’t taking sh/t off!” 🤣
Yeau, a kooky bad-girl having fun. She looks human. She doesn't look that human these days.

THEY ARE KILLING IT RIGHT ALONG WITH HER!!!!💯🎶🎯🔥💥💣
The two professional dancers dancing? yeah sure ok then, they sure learned the moves in the weeks of rehearsals. Next up, a singer sings.
@jaycarrUK they accompanied her on her "virgin tour" so already knew the moves. 👍
@@jaycarrUKMadonna has always had the BEST dancers
If we took a holiday to 1985 it would be so nice.
Exactly! 😭
I’m 25 years old and I’ve always known about Madonna’s “hit songs” but after the release of Madame X (which I love), I really wanted to go back and explore her discography in full. I’m so glad I did because her albums are all different, some better than others. I really love Ray of Light and Erotica. Masterpieces. Bedtime Stories is good too. And of course Confessions for good dance music. I’ll be seeing Madonna for the first time in concert this October and I’m pumped. It’s always been on my bucket list to see this woman live. I want to cherish her while we still have her around.
I use to be a Muslim who lost his faith only thing to keep me going is madonnas music!
MashaAllah, I hope you have found your faith and your way back to Allah. May Allah continue to guide you. ❤
That girl OWNED the 80's and 90's. Barely a year missed without one OR MORE hits on the charts. (Correction Madonna was second to Whitney in the 80s)
And the true happiness in her smile, this is only like 3 years into her hit run.....
Only 80's
@@сиднипрескотт-щ3л no, also the 90s. Vogue, Justify My Love, This used to be my playground, Take a bow, Frozen, Ray Of Light, The Power Of Good-Bye were major hits all over the planet. And Music in 2000 was even bigger than anything she’s done since Vogue.
@@p.m.6064 her best selling album is true blue. After vogue she didn't have hits in UK
@onika wtf, 2000's are owned by Eminem & Britney

Love Madonna and her fit dancers in this clip! They are so professional in doing the dance steps from the tour. Amazing performance!
