Amber, “Star light, star bright, First star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might Have the wish I wish tonight” is an old children’s nursery rhyme that’s been said since the 19th century. The superstition of hoping for wishes granted when seeing a shooting or falling star may date back to the ancient world. Wishing on the first star seen may also predate this rhyme, which first began to be recorded in late nineteenth-century America. The song and tradition seem to have reached Britain by the early twentieth century and have since spread worldwide.
Others have pointed out that Star Light Star Bright is an old children's rhyme. Madonna was clever enough to incorporate it into the chorus of a song about a shooting star.
Gen Z’s will NEVER understand just how big Madonna was/is. She broke so many records… and all before there was the internet to help. I’m sure her legacy will live on for many more generations. It should actually be studied because she was so ahead of the time.
Madonna became the success that she is, because she is, truly, the hardest-working woman in show business. She spends A LOT of time, many hours, working on her stage productions and choreography, and does the same for her work in the recording studio. Madonna’s work ethic is unmatched among female performers in the entertainment industry. She has EARNED all of the successes and achievements she has received.
I used to watch American Bandstand, (a popular dance show that aired from 1952 to 1989). Madonna first appeared on this show on January 14, 1984, singing her hit "Holiday". When the host Dick Clark asked her "....what are your dreams?" Madonna responded with..."Mm, I want to rule the world." I think she pretty much accomplished her dream.
I can't even begin to tell you how much Madonna CREATED the look of the 80s. So many of us copied all these parts of her look. The mesh, the layers, the jewelry, the hair, everything. When you think of 80s fashion, so much of it came from her.

I saw her video "Borderline" on MTV, and knew immediately, this girl is going to be a huge sensation! There was no looking back..she was the hottest 80's female vocalist! She had it all, and pushed the limits just enough to keep everyone talking! Great choice and reaction!
@@Zerbyte I agree , only the generation that was there during her musical reign understands the magnitude of her fame and influence and track record , kind of like those who were alive to experience the Beatles. There is no comparison to Madonna.
When she hit the scene, every girl started dressing like this! Either a little bit with just the headband or full on just like in this video. Such an impact on the youth.
The hair, the makeup, the bangle bracelets and the see-through tops and black shear bras - all the girls were identical Madonna-minis! I used to wear all the bangle bracelets in multiple colors.
Punk/goth girls were already doing variations of that. This was just another example of Madonna capitalizing on already existing underground/subculture styles.
She was the biggest star in the Universe, without social media or even internet! She's STILL the best selling female recording artist of all time! Pure sales, not streaming. We'll never see something as big as Madonna. The last music living legend.
Madonna was unique and she inspired that look... we all wore giant bows in our heads, wild teased hair, mesh everything, etc. She inspired a generation.
Madonna CAME VERY CLOSE to a professional dance career. You can really see her talent and musicality in her body. My favorite Madonna. This is the video that spawned The Wannabes!
Madonna was 25 years old when she put out this album, her debut album. When this video came out, it was on heavy rotation on MTV, and not only did her popularity rise but her fashion sense as well. Girls of all ages were dressing like she is dressed in this video, and she was a mega star. Great reaction to one of her first hits!
I met Madonna back in 1996, She was buying her Father Tony Ciccone a new Cadillac and my Ex-Brother In Law was selling it to her in her hometown of Rochester, Michigan.
Madonna defined the 80s. This video was mine, and many others first look at her. Everyone was shocked because we all thought she was a black singer. The belly button showing caused A STIR. Controversial, but also won over a ton of fans. So funny because it's so innocent today. Her brother is dancing in the video behind her.
"Material Girl" was my guilty pleasure as a kid. I remember singing to it no matter where I heard it! So catchy! I LOVED when they used it in Stranger Things! The ULTIMATE of 80's nostalgia!
Now you should do her song "Get into the Groove". It's a GREAT dance song and is also the theme song from her 1985 movie "Desperately Seeking Susan". Y'all could even watch that movie for one of your movie Fridays!
80s Madonna: "Everybody", "Express Yourself", "Material Girl". 90s Madonna: "Ray Of Light", "Frozen", "Little Star" (she wrote that for her daughter). 2000s Madonna: "4 Minutes" (with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland), "Hung Up" (I think you will recognize the sample in this), "Sorry" (you could tell she was going through that divorce with this one). And I'll end with, "Bitch, I'm Madonna" (with Nicki Minaj because it's awesome and one of my favorites).😎👍
Amber & Jay, here are some other good Madonna songs to react to: "Burning Up", "Angel", "Dress You Up", "Open Your Heart", "True Blue", "Who's That Girl", and "Causing A Commotion".
Amber, those limes ARE from a kid's nursery rhyme! Hahaha! This was one of her 1st videos, I think "Borderline" was the 1st on MTV. It's funny how, she has a very good voice, but it's her whole package (the look, the dancing) that made her a Superstar!! Literally MILLIONS of girls/women started dressing like her! That she was so iconic in the 80's and managed to break out and change through the decades is what makes her a pop genius!!
G'day it's Steven from Down Under again Love your reactions to Madonna, whenever you react to Madonna I'm here. Thank you for taking me down memory lane. I would've been around 14 years of age when this music video was released and it also reminds me of time with my first girlfriend. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF POP!
80s Madonna is some of my guilty pleasure music, I don't normally listen to this type of music, but this song, "get into the groove", "borderline", "holiday", "burnin up", "cherish". so many good songs when you think about it.
Early Madonna, when the engineers tweaked her voice higher in order to make her sound younger, which they hoped would appeal to the younger girl audience. It did.
Don't forget the songs "Live To Tell" (1986), " Take A Bow" with Babyface (1994), and "Frozen" (1998). I think these are sleeper hits by Madonna that might not readily come to mind. I also agree 80's Madonna was the best, followed by 90's Madonna.
I bought the Madonna debut the week it came out. That tape got the party going that Saturday in East LA. No one knew who it was but everyone was dancing.
1983, debut self titled album. You did "Borderline" from this album, try "Holiday". The next year the 2nd album came out, the title track, "Like A Virgin", really launched her.
I was 4 years old in 83 and this was my first and favorite of Madonna’s. This song started the Madonna Madness for me. The catchy songs, the look, everything. I begged my mom to buy the cassette of her first album to play on the boombox and in the car. 😂 “Live to Tell” is a beautiful ballad from the 80’s. She looks stunning in it. “Frozen” is late 90’s and phenomenal. Fantastic sound and so cinematic. The visual effects are unreal in the video. Superb! Gosh there are so many good songs and videos to check out!!
"Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight." Said it a hundred times as a kid. I loved Madonna back in the day. Speaking of..a movie you guys should check out is called 'A League of Their Own" about the Women's Profession Baseball League during WW2, with Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell, and Madonna.
This is from her first album in 83. She is the one who created this look. After this video and Borderline, every girl starting dressing like this. My sister had the star earing she is wearing and you only wear one. The bow, the bracelets, the lace gloves... it was everything for teenage girls back then.
The most underrated Madonna song is "Open Your Heart" Great video. Great song. I remember seeing it on Dial MTV most requested every day for 4 months when I was 15. It never gets mentioned or showcased by reactors. Granted, she did have a ton of hits, so understandable some get overlooked.
@@dustinjones8887 well I get what your saying . Yes compared to all her other monster hit songs , open your heart isn’t the first track that comes to mind. In fact if I did not read this comment I would not have even remembered it , after reading all her other track titles lists in these comments of all her home run whammies that we all grew up on in the 80s.

Her first album has 3 or 4 hidden gems that never get played. Burning up the 12in. version is the on another level of dance music. It's a classic here in NYC. ~Red
I have seen Madonna in concert several times. The Limited "Girly Show" at the Palace in Auburn Hills MI was great. I was about 4 rows back with my friend Mark. When "Lucky Star" started to play the stadium went crazy. This was the one that pretty much started it all. International recognition for Madonna. Everyone was singing together with her. So many fans were dressed like this even though the concert was well into her career and Vogue had already come out." Fantabulous" fun. I Love Madonna for doing whatever she wanted and staying true to herself without worrying about shaming efforts in the media or society. ICON. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
i really remember when this came out recall all the girls were dress like madonna i would be at restaurant or mall or grocery store they i would some girls looking like this 80's were something else.
This is from her first album and it was her second entry of 57 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and also was her first Top Ten peaking at No. 4 in 1984. Interesting that you bring up Cyndi Lauper because she came up at the same time and the press tried to turn them into rivals. So much more 80s Madonna to check out. If you want one of her best IMHO, you've got to react to "Into The Groove" from '85 and Madonna's first film, "Desperately Seeking Susan."
@@PDC1987 You're right. "Holiday" peaked at No. 16. Then "Borderline" peaked at No. 10 and "Lucky Star" followed at No. 4. "Borderline" was the first of 17 Top Tens, 16 of which were in the Top 5 including 7 No. 1's. The 80s were wild with talent, Madonna, Prince and Michael Jackson all born within two months of each other in 1958. The same year and summer I was born. Very special time for music.
Madonna's 80's look was taken from the British girl band Bananarama and the way young people were dressing in the UK. She's openly admitted loving the way they looked and copying them.
Wow!😮😮 I’m from the U.K. and never knew that - I honestly thought it was her own style! Kudos to her, she managed to put her own twist on it and start a fashion trend! I was really young in the 80s but I loved Madonna!
80s Madonna was just hit after hit. "Live to Tell" is my favourite from that era. However when the group Massive Attack were offered her to record as guest vocalist on their huge hit "Teardrop" they said no we want Liz Fraser instead and I hope you check it out to see why. The song is an ethereal classic with one of the most unusual and oddly compelling videos I've seen and if you think you've heard it on a TV show you would be right. They had many hits including the headspace "Angel" and the orchestral "Unfinished Sympathy" which will remind you of "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve but was released earlier.
Old school Madonna was the best. She truly was a great raw talent with excellent stage presence! I would check out her live performance of "Holiday" at Live Aid.
Once the 90’s hit, she had to up her game to increase attention on her. Her music started leaning towards dance music. En Vogue, Material Girl, etc. I like her 80’s better, as it seems more charming and simple.
Madonna created the mold for the modern pop star. So much ground breaking, accomplishments, trend setting and music standards- too many to mention- were set by this icon!
I remember when Lucky Star first came out!! We all adopted part or all of this look in the 80's! If you want a great Madonna song, try "This Used to be my Playground". It is absolutely beautiful!
This Madonna , was the best Madonna. The Jellybean & Nile Rodgers period. At least 2 (and a bit) of my bedroom walls , ceiling to floor full of magazine pix. Bought all of the singles, albums , 12's and Pic Discs. I don't really have many anymore they became valuable, and I sold them. One of my most valuable being a picture disk of this very track.
Lucky Star was like 1983/84. In her early songs, she sang so sharp (just above the pitch), but in a cute way. She could get away with it because she was instantly an icon. I bet all the girls in high school in the 80s went to school trying to look like her. (I was not alive then, but I imagine it.)
When she went into the pet house on my talking pictures.Though it was a prettiest pictures, but you ever saw it.Yeah, alright, Piper was white.No, not to come out.Couldn't was counting the days down so what it was.I was doing countdown, so I'm not the hit.The bookstores I'll paint house with McDonald's.Yeah , that's what to loveWhen she went into the pet house on my talking pictures.Though it was a prettiest pictures, but you ever saw it.Yeah, alright, Piper was white.No, not to come out.Couldn't was counting the days down so what it was.I was doing countdown, so I'm not the hit.The bookstores I'll paint house was my daughter.Yeah , that's what a lot of money
Madonna didn't create this look on purpose.She was very poor starting out and shopped at thrift stores for clothing. The look caught on fire with teenage girls .
Especially with her first 2 albums Madonna was a real culture bomb in the mid 80s - you can´t imagine how big she was. And i´m writing this from a Euro-perspective ;)
If you didn't live through the 80's, you can't appreciate how big of a star Madonna was. She was EVERYWHERE.

When she hit the scene, every girl started dressing like this! Either a little bit with just the headband or full on just like in this video.
Such an impact on the youth.
The hair, the makeup, the bangle bracelets and the see-through tops and black shear bras - all the girls were identical Madonna-minis! I used to wear all the bangle bracelets in multiple colors.
Punk/goth girls were already doing variations of that. This was just another example of Madonna capitalizing on already existing underground/subculture styles.
“Live to tell” and “Papa don’t Preach” are just a couple more 80’s musts of hers! So many greats! 💜✌️👍🙂
Jay & Amber, You'll love her "Dress You Up" and "Papa Don't Preach"!!!
I LOVE the video and song to Papa Don't Preach,the video tells a nice,little story that's still relevant in today's society.

@@paulguthrie4857 Oh,yeah,thanks for reminding me about him,totally forgot.And yes,a-GREAT-actor too. RIP : Mr Aielo-you're missed.
It was a nursery rhyme first.
Starlight light
Star Bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
OH FATHER , too
Cannot deny her back catalogue of work is what made her the queen of pop and her early work laid the foundations.
Tina Turner, Karen Carpenter....much better!
@@michaelasay8587 madonna has the most critically acclaimed catalog of any female artist ever, and exactly how many songs did Tina write? Lol.
@@michaelasay8587 Madonna ruled the dancefloors back then. you're comparing apples to oranges
Karen Carpenter is the greatest vocalist and superb drummer too but in terms of back catalogue Madonna is the greatest solo female artist of all time.
She was the biggest star in the Universe, without social media or even internet! She's STILL the best selling female recording artist of all time! Pure sales, not streaming. We'll never see something as big as Madonna. The last music living legend.
Madonna was unique and she inspired that look... we all wore giant bows in our heads, wild teased hair, mesh everything, etc. She inspired a generation.
Madonna CAME VERY CLOSE to a professional dance career. You can really see her talent and musicality in her body. My favorite Madonna. This is the video that spawned The Wannabes!
‘Oh, father!’ This video is beautiful and tells so many hard truths about Madonna’s life.
"Live to Tell" is far and away Madonnas best! And that's saying a lot with so much she's done!
She's not the strongest singer to be honest, but she really shone on that song.
Madonna was 25 years old when she put out this album, her debut album. When this video came out, it was on heavy rotation on MTV, and not only did her popularity rise but her fashion sense as well. Girls of all ages were dressing like she is dressed in this video, and she was a mega star. Great reaction to one of her first hits!
Star light star bright is originally a nursery rhyme. Madonna incorporated the line into the song.
Madonna in Her prime! 😊❤
Eyup. She graduated high school in 1974. The fact that she's still performing tells me she's the *real* thing.
I met Madonna back in 1996, She was buying her Father Tony Ciccone a new Cadillac and my Ex-Brother In Law was selling it to her in her hometown of Rochester, Michigan.
Madonna - "Borderline" 🔥🔥
Madonna defined the 80s. This video was mine, and many others first look at her. Everyone was shocked because we all thought she was a black singer. The belly button showing caused A STIR. Controversial, but also won over a ton of fans. So funny because it's so innocent today. Her brother is dancing in the video behind her.
"Material Girl" was my guilty pleasure as a kid. I remember singing to it no matter where I heard it! So catchy! I LOVED when they used it in Stranger Things! The ULTIMATE of 80's nostalgia!
Open yout heart, Who 's that girl ,Papa don't preach and Burnig up are other jam's of the 80's.Madonna from 80's is the best for me to listen.❤🎶
This is from her 1983 debut album. The album is excellent.
Not a bad track on this album. The impact she had on fashion was like a tidal wave. Absolute 🔥
Now you should do her song "Get into the Groove". It's a GREAT dance song and is also the theme song from her 1985 movie "Desperately Seeking Susan". Y'all could even watch that movie for one of your movie Fridays!
I was in high school, and when madonna came on the scene she took over, she had teens dressing like her
80s Madonna: "Everybody", "Express Yourself", "Material Girl". 90s Madonna: "Ray Of Light", "Frozen", "Little Star" (she wrote that for her daughter). 2000s Madonna: "4 Minutes" (with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland), "Hung Up" (I think you will recognize the sample in this), "Sorry" (you could tell she was going through that divorce with this one). And I'll end with, "Bitch, I'm Madonna" (with Nicki Minaj because it's awesome and one of my favorites).😎👍
Early baby Madonna is the best❤
Amber & Jay, here are some other good Madonna songs to react to: "Burning Up", "Angel", "Dress You Up", "Open Your Heart", "True Blue", "Who's That Girl", and "Causing A Commotion".
Causing a Commotion is a banger!!
@@paulguthrie4857 totally agree...great song! Also, I LOVE "Gambler" - a hugely under-rated banger. I'm listening to it right now! :-)
Hi guys, Live To Tell by Madonna is worth a listen, love you guys
So many great female singers in the 80s, Madonna is probably my favorite one. ❤
Little 80s me was OBSESSED with Madonna, properly ob-sessed. This song in particular always really takes me back 😊
CRAZY FOR YOU, INTO THE GROOVE, LIVE TO TELL ARE HER BEST SONGS
Being born in 71 and growing up in the 70's and 80's. We had the best Rock, Metal, Country and Pop plus R&B. The 80's were a time TRUST Me!
Amber, those limes ARE from a kid's nursery rhyme! Hahaha! This was one of her 1st videos, I think "Borderline" was the 1st on MTV. It's funny how, she has a very good voice, but it's her whole package (the look, the dancing) that made her a Superstar!! Literally MILLIONS of girls/women started dressing like her! That she was so iconic in the 80's and managed to break out and change through the decades is what makes her a pop genius!!
“Into the groove” is my absolute favourite Madonna song. “Don’t tell me” is great too. She has so many great pop songs.
This is from her first album. It is perfect all the way through. Listen to "Burnin Up," 'Everybody," Physical Attraction," and everything else!
"Dance and sing get up and do your thing"
G'day it's Steven from Down Under again
Love your reactions to Madonna, whenever you react to Madonna I'm here.
Thank you for taking me down memory lane.
I would've been around 14 years of age when this music video was released and it also reminds me of time with my first girlfriend.
ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF POP!
I recommend "Take a Bow." It is one of the most beautiful songs you will hear.
80s Madonna is some of my guilty pleasure music, I don't normally listen to this type of music, but this song, "get into the groove", "borderline", "holiday", "burnin up", "cherish". so many good songs when you think about it.
Early Madonna, when the engineers tweaked her voice higher in order to make her sound younger, which they hoped would appeal to the younger girl audience. It did.
Don't forget the songs "Live To Tell" (1986), " Take A Bow" with Babyface (1994), and "Frozen" (1998). I think these are sleeper hits by Madonna that might not readily come to mind. I also agree 80's Madonna was the best, followed by 90's Madonna.
Her song "Rain" is soooooo beautiful!!!!❤❤❤✌️
I bought the Madonna debut the week it came out. That tape got the party going that Saturday in East LA. No one knew who it was but everyone was dancing.
I love early Madonna
Also her brilliantly produced album Ray Of Light
This was huge in the clubs back in those days.
1983, debut self titled album. You did "Borderline" from this album, try "Holiday". The next year the 2nd album came out, the title track, "Like A Virgin", really launched her.
I was 4 years old in 83 and this was my first and favorite of Madonna’s. This song started the Madonna Madness for me. The catchy songs, the look, everything. I begged my mom to buy the cassette of her first album to play on the boombox and in the car. 😂
“Live to Tell” is a beautiful ballad from the 80’s. She looks stunning in it.
“Frozen” is late 90’s and phenomenal. Fantastic sound and so cinematic. The visual effects are unreal in the video. Superb!
Gosh there are so many good songs and videos to check out!!
Her first album is my favorite. Also my favorite Madonna look.
Thé only madonna’s track that ever enter my hood back in days in Marseille …this was booming 🎉
"Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight." Said it a hundred times as a kid. I loved Madonna back in the day. Speaking of..a movie you guys should check out is called 'A League of Their Own" about the Women's Profession Baseball League during WW2, with Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell, and Madonna.
They already reacted to this movie.
@@imsirius2 Okay, thanks..
This is from her first album in 83. She is the one who created this look. After this video and Borderline, every girl starting dressing like this. My sister had the star earing she is wearing and you only wear one. The bow, the bracelets, the lace gloves... it was everything for teenage girls back then.
The most underrated Madonna song is "Open Your Heart" Great video. Great song. I remember seeing it on Dial MTV most requested every day for 4 months when I was 15. It never gets mentioned or showcased by reactors. Granted, she did have a ton of hits, so understandable some get overlooked.
Open Your Heart was a huge hit. Not underrated at all.
@@dustinjones8887 well I get what your saying . Yes compared to all her other monster hit songs , open your heart isn’t the first track that comes to mind. In fact if I did not read this comment I would not have even remembered it , after reading all her other track titles lists in these comments of all her home run whammies that we all grew up on in the 80s.
@@dustinjones8887 the same can be said about Spanish Lullabies song , true it was awesome and popular and got lots of radio and video play , but it wasn’t like the songs off her “live a virgin” album
@@shyman99 - The best reactors that I've found and whom I watch, have never mentioned this song. Maybe I should've worded it that way. Most reactors suck. I have about 8 of them I love and watch on music reaction. ..I've probably already seen some of the reactors that do have this song, but didn't care for them. so I'm not going to watch reactors that don't do it for me.
@@shyman99 - The ones I like have been around for years with tons of reactions.. Perhaps I have a point too. But thanks for doing all you can to diminish it.
haha - love ya- i was dancing back in the clubs to this song ! love me some j and amber - especially female fridays - lol - love that your music journey never stops! keep on havin fun !
Her first album has 3 or 4 hidden gems that never get played.
Burning up the 12in. version is the on another level of dance music. It's a classic here in NYC.
~Red
My favorite from the album is "THINK OF ME"
@enriquetheprofessor Great song. Physical Attraction the other unappreciated song still Burning Up first on the list.
I have seen Madonna in concert several times. The Limited "Girly Show" at the Palace in Auburn Hills MI was great. I was about 4 rows back with my friend Mark. When "Lucky Star" started to play the stadium went crazy. This was the one that pretty much started it all. International recognition for Madonna. Everyone was singing together with her. So many fans were dressed like this even though the concert was well into her career and Vogue had already come out." Fantabulous" fun. I Love Madonna for doing whatever she wanted and staying true to herself without worrying about shaming efforts in the media or society. ICON. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
i really remember when this came out recall all the girls were dress like madonna i would be at restaurant or mall or grocery store they i would some girls looking like this 80's were something else.
Into the Grove totally Rocks or live to tell
This is from her first album and it was her second entry of 57 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and also was her first Top Ten peaking at No. 4 in 1984. Interesting that you bring up Cyndi Lauper because she came up at the same time and the press tried to turn them into rivals. So much more 80s Madonna to check out. If you want one of her best IMHO, you've got to react to "Into The Groove" from '85 and Madonna's first film, "Desperately Seeking Susan."
Wrong. Third entry, second top 10. Holiday and borderline were first .
@@PDC1987 You're right. "Holiday" peaked at No. 16. Then "Borderline" peaked at No. 10 and "Lucky Star" followed at No. 4. "Borderline" was the first of 17 Top Tens, 16 of which were in the Top 5 including 7 No. 1's. The 80s were wild with talent, Madonna, Prince and Michael Jackson all born within two months of each other in 1958. The same year and summer I was born. Very special time for music.
High school 83-86, I remember my dance team performing a competition dance to Dress You Up (In My Love) one year.
Crazy for you is my favorite. It's a bluesy slow song... incredible!
from a great 80's movie Vision Quest!
Madonna's 80's look was taken from the British girl band Bananarama and the way young people were dressing in the UK. She's openly admitted loving the way they looked and copying them.
Wow!😮😮 I’m from the U.K. and never knew that - I honestly thought it was her own style! Kudos to her, she managed to put her own twist on it and start a fashion trend! I was really young in the 80s but I loved Madonna!
80s Madonna was just hit after hit. "Live to Tell" is my favourite from that era. However when the group Massive Attack were offered her to record as guest vocalist on their huge hit "Teardrop" they said no we want Liz Fraser instead and I hope you check it out to see why. The song is an ethereal classic with one of the most unusual and oddly compelling videos I've seen and if you think you've heard it on a TV show you would be right. They had many hits including the headspace "Angel" and the orchestral "Unfinished Sympathy" which will remind you of "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve but was released earlier.
We started dressing like her. This look was very popular!! This song was big mid 80’s (1984-1985), I was in high school……
Old school Madonna was the best. She truly was a great raw talent with excellent stage presence! I would check out her live performance of "Holiday" at Live Aid.
Once the 90’s hit, she had to up her game to increase attention on her. Her music started leaning towards dance music. En Vogue, Material Girl, etc. I like her 80’s better, as it seems more charming and simple.
Madonna created the mold for the modern pop star. So much ground breaking, accomplishments, trend setting and music standards- too many to mention- were set by this icon!
Still on my playlist!
My gawd she was amazing. Amazing. Still is.
Brother Nile Rogers of Chic truly gave her The Funk! & she was jammin! Good review!
I still love Madonna's music from then until now. What an Icon.
Let’s go!! Saw her in Miami many many years ago!!✌️😊🔥
Borderline is another early Madonna song that was popular.
Imagine being 11 years old and watching this in the early summer of 1984 when this video came out. lol. That was me. I was in love. lol
“Papa Don’t Preach”, “Borderline” and “Into the Groove”are also great ones from Madonna…she has so many ❤
I remember when Lucky Star first came out!! We all adopted part or all of this look in the 80's! If you want a great Madonna song, try "This Used to be my Playground". It is absolutely beautiful!
This Madonna , was the best Madonna. The Jellybean & Nile Rodgers period. At least 2 (and a bit) of my bedroom walls , ceiling to floor full of magazine pix. Bought all of the singles, albums , 12's and Pic Discs. I don't really have many anymore they became valuable, and I sold them. One of my most valuable being a picture disk of this very track.
Still the Queen of Pop. I remember when this video first came out on MTV, that’s how old I am. Love Like A Prayer too.
This was one of my favorites by her. Looking back at her breadth of work , I never realized how iconic she is
That is a children's rhyme/song. She took it.
One part of the chorus. You people are so ridiculous.
Lucky Star was like 1983/84.
In her early songs, she sang so sharp (just above the pitch), but in a cute way. She could get away with it because she was instantly an icon. I bet all the girls in high school in the 80s went to school trying to look like her. (I was not alive then, but I imagine it.)
80's Madonna is where it's at. Great reaction guys!!
Don't be HO Ho, who was it?Who was it that looked better than madonna and the magazines house question markm
When she went into the pet house on my talking pictures.Though it was a prettiest pictures, but you ever saw it.Yeah, alright, Piper was white.No, not to come out.Couldn't was counting the days down so what it was.I was doing countdown, so I'm not the hit.The bookstores I'll paint house with McDonald's.Yeah , that's what to loveWhen she went into the pet house on my talking pictures.Though it was a prettiest pictures, but you ever saw it.Yeah, alright, Piper was white.No, not to come out.Couldn't was counting the days down so what it was.I was doing countdown, so I'm not the hit.The bookstores I'll paint house was my daughter.Yeah , that's what a lot of money
Madonna didn't create this look on purpose.She was very poor starting out and shopped at thrift stores for clothing. The look caught on fire with teenage girls .
Especially with her first 2 albums Madonna was a real culture bomb in the mid 80s - you can´t imagine how big she was. And i´m writing this from a Euro-perspective ;)
