I wouldn’t say this was her peak creatively (there’s still so much great groundbreaking stuff to come on this journey) but Blonde Ambition eta is def peak pop star Madonna.
The MTV 1990 VMA performance is a jaw dropper. A total departure from the style of the video in the best possible way! And its totally unlike anything you'll see on tour as well. This video was directed by David Fincher, who also made the Express Yourself and Oh Father videos. Many of the shots were recreations of actual "Old Hollywood" portaits and fashion photography by George Hurrell, Horst, and others.
"Vogue" is one of my favorite songs of Madonna! And the video is one of the best music videos of all times! For me "Vogue" represents the great entrance of Madonna to the 90s. 🙂
1989: Like A Prayer, Express Yourself, Cherish, Oh Father, Dear Jessie 1990: Keep It Together, Vogue, Hanky Panky, Justify My Love On top of that the Dick Tracy movie, the iconic Blond Ambition tour and then at the end of 1990 the release of the Immaculate Collection album which went on to sell over 30 million worldwide...She really was peaking in a commercial sense at this time, Madonna-mania for sure.
for me it is the choreography in the sticky & sweet tour that seals the deal for me. But VMA is iconic and MDNA is stunning... Now. the celebration tour is also unique because of her daughter. Heck Do them all....... ❤ they will blow your mind.
The most see is definitely the MTV VMA performance 1990 where she stole the show and its still considered one of the most iconic MTV awards performances of all time, not just by her but by anyone. It usually tops polls. Unusual for her, it is mimed but it goes with the whole ballroom theme and once you see the choreo, you will understand.
Many say that’s the court of Versailles, and Madonna is Marie Antoinette, but I heard in an interview it was inspired by Dangerous Liaisons. Same time period, regardless.
Such a worldwide mega hit! What a song. And the music would be released yesterday and it is still a fantastic piece of art. It crosses the times! Fabulous!
The most perfect pop song and music video ever made. Oh, you just have to do the 1990 MTV Awards performance. It is unlike any award show performance that had ever been done before or that came after it.
I am addicted to your reactions. I have been a fan of Madonna since I was 12 and I love seeing how you enjoy her videos and shows. Little to add to this masterpiece, in fact it is a video directed by director David Fincher and it shows in how elegant and timeless it is. Many kisses
@OurAnxiousReactions yup, and I lined up for 9 hours (first night) because I was on floor A and got to the edge of the very front stage. The number of times she came to my area and was basically 4 feet away from me performing is something I will take with me forever. Someone who meant so much right there. Beautiful woman.
First time commenter, long time watcher. If you're planning to watch the tours you'll see the tour versions. The version you won't see on tour is the VMAs performance, and it is essential viewing.
Gosh, ladies - that's a big ask to choose only one live 'Vogue' performance. Asking to choose only one favourite live Vogue performance would be equivalent to asking a mother or father to choose their favourite child in a large family....lol. I understand from previous nominations for live performances you came to an agreement that the "Blonde Ambition Tour" was out of bounds because, as rightly advised, the tour must be watched as a whole and not dissected as it is the first Madonna 'Musical Theatre' style tour. It really must be seen as a 'WHOLE'. That being said, I suggest watching the live MTV Awards 1990, where Madonna (her inspiration was the Palace of Versailles Maria Antoinette), along with all her dancers from the Blonde Ambition Tour, performed it flawlessly.; Madonna didn't sing live due to the heavy outfits worn along with the choreography and the need to have free hands to vogue. Madonna's lipsyncing is also her way of paying homage to the gay drag community, who let Madonna into the once secretive space and gave her the Vogue dance gift. The other live performance you must watch is during the 2012 Super Bowl halftime performance; Madonna didn't lipsync for that performance (more people watched Madonna live at the halftime show than people who watched the football match).
The iconic live performance would most definitely be the 1990 VMA's version. She mimes it, but the whole performance is incredible and so different to the video. I'm also hoping you'll react to Sooner or Later before you react to the Blond Ambition tour. She does a live performance of that song on that tour, but the one to react to is the Oscars '91 performance of Sooner of Later as it's one of her most fantastic and incredible vocals ever.
We’re pushing on through the era’s .Great reaction, Ladies. You have so much great stuff to come… My fav live Vogue is without a doubt “The Girlie Show” Just beautifully choreographed and flawlessly performed from start to finish. 😉👍🏼
There are iconic songs… and above them is Vogue, in a whole new category, I don’t even know how to describe it, I’m just gonna say I-C-O-N-I-C. Great reaction btw!
She does this a lot on tour - so eventually you will see them all SO for that reason you MUST do the MTV VMA performance ICONIC performance where she brings DRAG to mainstream. Easily ranked as the best MTV VMA performance of all time by any artist. Also - since there were only 2 singles from “I’m Breathless” - You should also see her performance of Sooner or Later from the Oscars. The song wasn’t a single, but the performance might be one of her best vocals of all time.
Vogue Re-Invention Tour.... I know you guys are probably gonna do the VMA's Vogue but There's also some good ones from her tours and i'm recommending the ReInvention Tour. I love watching you ladies, keep it up!
Play the 1990 MTV music awards “VOGUE” Performance! Just get ready! And enjoy MADONNA’S influential and inspirational musical life… ❤🙌🏼 Everything starts now in the 1990s 😃🙌🏼
I just wanted to say that I look forward to seeing every one of your reaction videos. I love that you share your thoughts and feelings on wonderful music that is such a part of our lives, our memories, and collective nostalgia. But most of all, I love how genuine you both are. Thank you for doing what you do. ❤❤
Aww, thank you - That means so much to us.❤️ We're very grateful that you're here, and we love that doing these reaction videos gives us the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people (like you!). ❤️❤️
One of the best videos of all time! What a huuuuuuuge hit this is! It was everything and still influencing today. The MTV VMA performance is a must see for this song as well as her performance of it from her Girlie Show tour. Keep em coming ladies!
Awesome reaction ladies....again! I lived in the West Village in NYC from 1986-97, and many late nights we'd cross the street on the Westside Highway to check out the dancers that were voguing on the Piers, often times celebs like Madonna would be there hanging out. Always a fantastic time. 2 fantastic live versions are Sticky and Sweet Tour and the MDMA Tour.
ICONIC, GREAT. ONE OF THE ALL TIME BEST MUSIC VIDEOS. Once again the incredible David Fincher directed this MTV award winning, video. David also directed Express Yourself & Bad Girl for Madonna, as well as, George Michael’s iconic video Freedom ‘90 featuring the SUPERMODELS.
Timeless, Iconic, Amazing song/video!! My fave performance of Vogue still has to be at the MDNA tour in 2012. I was lucky enough to see the show outdoors at Hyde Park in London 🇬🇧 A-MAZ-ING!! The ReInvention tour version was absolutely fabulous too!!! ❤
iconic, inclusive, incomparable! thanks for doing this reaction! PLEASE pause and do reactions to each of the live vogue performances starting with the VMA’s in 89 up to and including the MDNA tour, each one is next level and raised the bar for the next! 🔥
Just like with Like A Prayer, this is one the songs, she usually does in her live shows as its such an anthem and iconic, so you're in for a treat with the Celebration tour next year ;)
amo esta cancion y video es de mis favoritos de todos los tiempos, madonna icnocia en todo sentido, en ese momento, era la estrella mas grande del mundo, me encanta ver sus videos chicas, un abrazo
I agree with the rest of the comments- do react to the live performance from the 1990 MTV VMAs… also, don’t move on from this era without reacting to her live performance of “Sooner or later” from the Oscars :)
MDNA Tour version for sure! It’s a tour of hers you haven’t reacted to at all yet (2012) and that performance is a musical & visual FEAST 😌✨ A favorite among fans
I was wondering if you would review the singles from I’m Breathless…. Brilliant. Wise choice, preceding the review of the Blond Ambition tour. This song was inspired by ballroom culture in the 1980s in New York City. She re-creates the ballroom atmosphere in her Celebration tour, which you will see when you attend. The best live performance is from 1990 MVAs. It is one of her most iconic moments in her history of performing. Please review 1990’s VMA performance!!! ICONIC!!!! Thank you for this wonderful review ladies. Have an excellent day. 😁
Thank you so much! ❤️ Can't wait to see the recreation of the ballroom atmosphere in person - It must be magical! ❤️ Hope you have a great day/evening too. 😊
Great reaction, ladies 😊 All the dancers in this video are the ones who toured with her on the Blond Ambition Tour and theyre heavily featured in her documentary 'Truth or Dare' - A must see if you havent seen it!! As for a live version, I also agree that MTV Awards is iconic - she lip syncs referencing Drag Shows and of course underground gay culture, from which inspiration for the song was born! For an actual live singing version Sticky and Sweet tour is also great ❤
There are so few people who know this song is from "I'm Breathless" album...There is 1 other song on that record worth listening to from memory...just the 1 though.
Girls, yall should watch the movie, Paris is Burning shows all you need to know where vogue dancing started in the underground bars and the time it happened in history..
One thing yall should know, she puts a different spin on all the songs that she repeats in her tours, such as Vogue and Like A Virgin, both these songs in all her tours were fabulous and totally different from the tours before.. Ok, I will stop now.. lolzzz
I (Brenda) saw the video when it came out originally (hadn't seen it in decades though). And Emily had heard the song on the radio but had never seen the video. ❤️❤️
Madonna is pop at its essence . She made pop. The end
Madonna at her peak! Nothing better. For live performance I vote 1990 VMA awards.
I wouldn’t say this was her peak creatively (there’s still so much great groundbreaking stuff to come on this journey) but Blonde Ambition eta is def peak pop star Madonna.
Watch 1989 mtv express yourself performance. Its iconic and my favorite
The MTV 1990 VMA performance is a jaw dropper. A total departure from the style of the video in the best possible way! And its totally unlike anything you'll see on tour as well.
This video was directed by David Fincher, who also made the Express Yourself and Oh Father videos.
Many of the shots were recreations of actual "Old Hollywood" portaits and fashion photography by George Hurrell, Horst, and others.
Makes sense that it was such an incredible video - Thank you for that info! ❤️
Nothing better.period
MTV VMA performance 1990 and also reinvention tour 2004
Now this is a timeless song and video, if i ever saw one!
"Vogue" is one of my favorite songs of Madonna! And the video is one of the best music videos of all times! For me "Vogue" represents the great entrance of Madonna to the 90s. 🙂
Queen of Pop
Live performance from all of her concerts… all versions are good….
This song and video really brought her career to a whole new stratosphere . To this day it’s still so recognizable. Iconic.
1989: Like A Prayer, Express Yourself, Cherish, Oh Father, Dear Jessie
1990: Keep It Together, Vogue, Hanky Panky, Justify My Love
On top of that the Dick Tracy movie, the iconic Blond Ambition tour and then at the end of 1990 the release of the Immaculate Collection album which went on to sell over 30 million worldwide...She really was peaking in a commercial sense at this time, Madonna-mania for sure.
Amazing! ❤️
for me it is the choreography in the sticky & sweet tour that seals the deal for me. But VMA is iconic and MDNA is stunning... Now. the celebration tour is also unique because of her daughter. Heck Do them all....... ❤ they will blow your mind.
I'm Breathless is such a great album. The 40's inspired music really suits her voice well. And the Sondheim compositions...swoon.
Madonna! Unbeatable, unstoppable!!! No one even close!
You could take still shots at any point throughout this video, and the results would be a beautiful piece of art..every single shot
So true! ❤️
The most see is definitely the MTV VMA performance 1990 where she stole the show and its still considered one of the most iconic MTV awards performances of all time, not just by her but by anyone. It usually tops polls.

madonna vogue reinvention tour 2004
Vogue live from the vmas 1990
MTV VMA's 1990 is the best! Not really live, but it's a PERFORMANCE!!!
Oh and don't cut off too soon, watch till the very END! ;)
The most perfect pop song and music video ever made.
Oh, you just have to do the 1990 MTV Awards performance. It is unlike any award show performance that had ever been done before or that came after it.
You both are awesome !!! Love your enthusiasm as always !!! Long live the Queen !!! 👑👑👑
Aww, thank you! You're very sweet. ❤️❤️
I love your reaction so much. Thank you for all you do.
That's so sweet - Thank you! ❤️❤️ And thank you for being here with us.
I am addicted to your reactions. I have been a fan of Madonna since I was 12 and I love seeing how you enjoy her videos and shows. Little to add to this masterpiece, in fact it is a video directed by director David Fincher and it shows in how elegant and timeless it is. Many kisses
Thank you so much - That's so sweet! ❤️😘
My favorite Madonna video! Iconic! I read somewhere that it took all of 16 hours to make this video.
I have to tell you both, I've just been to the Celebration tour twice and you guys are in for a treat! It is amaaaazing.
That's so exciting (and twice!!!)! We can't wait. ❤️❤️
@OurAnxiousReactions yup, and I lined up for 9 hours (first night) because I was on floor A and got to the edge of the very front stage. The number of times she came to my area and was basically 4 feet away from me performing is something I will take with me forever. Someone who meant so much right there. Beautiful woman.
Wow! So happy for you!!! ❤️

Gosh, ladies - that's a big ask to choose only one live 'Vogue' performance.
Asking to choose only one favourite live Vogue performance would be equivalent to asking a mother or father to choose their favourite child in a large family....lol.
I understand from previous nominations for live performances you came to an agreement that the "Blonde Ambition Tour" was out of bounds because, as rightly advised, the tour must be watched as a whole and not dissected as it is the first Madonna 'Musical Theatre' style tour.

I agree Neo - my vote too
I'm sure you mean well, but did you have to mention the "inspiration"? Spoilers, darling!
Let it be a surprise!
whoops lmao - @@todddepue681
hahaha Neo your a motor mouth but I love that you never shut up hahahah@@Neo.Altair
Oh no - Didn't mean to make you choose a favorite child! 😉
Can't wait to see all of these performances throughout our journey. ❤️
The iconic live performance would most definitely be the 1990 VMA's version. She mimes it, but the whole performance is incredible and so different to the video.

We're definitely planning to react to her Oscar performance of Sooner or Later. 😉
Sticky & Sweet tour is the best live performance. ❤❤❤
We’re pushing on through the era’s .Great reaction, Ladies. You have so much great stuff to come… My fav live Vogue is without a doubt “The Girlie Show” Just beautifully choreographed and flawlessly performed from start to finish. 😉👍🏼

This was huge! It was everywhere when it came out!
Definitely a great classic dance song and the video is cool and hot
Just found your channel your enthusiasm is everything! Probably my favourite Madonna song and there are many many to choose from
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️
She does this a lot on tour - so eventually you will see them all SO for that reason you MUST do the MTV VMA performance ICONIC performance where she brings DRAG to mainstream.

❤️
Should’ve won MTV Best Video of the Year!
Original this song (not this version) wasn’t intended to be released as a single. It was on the B Side of her single Keep It Together.
Awesome reaction ladies....again! I lived in the West Village in NYC from 1986-97, and many late nights we'd cross the street on the Westside Highway to check out the dancers that were voguing on the Piers, often times celebs like Madonna would be there hanging out.

And what an awesome story - Love that! Bet it was so much fun. ❤️
I think we can all agree that it's the 1990 VMA performance.
ICONIC, GREAT. ONE OF THE ALL TIME BEST MUSIC VIDEOS.
Once again the incredible David Fincher directed this MTV award winning, video. David also directed Express Yourself & Bad Girl for Madonna, as well as, George Michael’s iconic video Freedom ‘90 featuring the SUPERMODELS.
Great reaction as always ❤❤

Sooner or Later is my ultimate favourite. Nobody has ever been better that Madonna that night.

Live version … 1990 VMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m pretty sure that will be almost UNANIMOUS
I think we all became lesbians while watching this video. And I'm a gay man. 😂
😂😂
Plz react to Selena quintanillas disco medley live from the Houston astrodome

I (Brenda) saw the video when it came out originally (hadn't seen it in decades though). And Emily had heard the song on the radio but had never seen the video. ❤️❤️
