I started to tear up hearing Niki mention that Madonna gives so much and does so much that people don't know about. Which is a shame because Madonna loves her public persona of being such a feisty, outspoken, and "hard" person. But she really isn't.
The annoying thing about that Mariah quote is that she was telling the singer that "Like a Prayer" is not a hard song to sing and that she should have done Niki's solo during the gospel choir part (FYI, it's not Niki on the record but most people, including Mariah, don't know that). So yeah, it was a nice compliment to Niki but it was clearly shading Madonna. 🙄
And look at Mariah today. She can only sing those annoying high whistle notes and nothing below them. Watch any live performance over the past few years and she sounds terrible. Karma comes back and bites people.
I always wondered if Niki sang on the record version… it says on wiki she is backing singer… but I recall in another interview she said it was the choir… I bet she wished she had sang on it… but she did the stage version which is the visual and she was amazing on that
Interesting. I always thought that was Niki singing that solo because she refused to do the music video because of religious beliefs. I’m pretty sure that solo is Niki.
Mariah said it wasn't a song meant for a power singer (and it's not. No Madonna song is meant that way). But the power part is what she wanted the Idol contestant to sing and she gave credit to Niki for that.
Gotta love ❤️ Donna - She’s reserved Only speaks when it’s something worth listening 👂 to and Is Absolutely down to earth 🌍 in sharing her Time w/ Madonna ✌️
The issue with Truth of Dare footage. Yes, the reels that was in storage was destroyed by a fire. But… Madonna showed when touring her archives. She has copies of all the footage that was shot. She showed quite a few reels from the film. So it be cool if she would eventually release some of it.
See this is why Madonna doesn’t mess with niki anymore. She has no sense of what being a superstar is. One could never reference their struggles as a parent to the biggest star on earth after Michael Jackson. Being a parent is hard I give niki that, but don’t get mad at Madonna for changing her strategy once having children. lol
Agreed; especially during the DWT & Confessions. Madonna has worked very hard and that’s why she’s still relevant 40 years later. She can still sell out arenas worldwide because she’s an icon, bottom line. Madonna has her mark in history.
Madonna Niki and Donna should’ve done a girl group like Destiny’s Child or The Supremes and recorded an album. I’m sure it would have been amazing because these ladies make Madonna sound even better especially live.
I don't get the sense that Niki and Donna would have wanted something like a girl's band. I think they were meant to be backup and that's not a bad thing. But you are right, they made Madonna sound incredible.
Nikki, you damn well know Mariah was being shady with Madonna. "Like a Prayer" is a Madonna song and she tells a contestant to sing like... the back up singer? Really? And you was cool with that, knowing that it was NOT you on the original record? That was shady from you as well. By the way, the choir on "like a prayer" is from the gospel choir "Andrae Crouch Choir", not Nikki and Donna. I like Donna's behave more in this interview. She seems and sounds more respecful and grateful to Madonna. Nikki sounds a bit bitter and shady. It's the way she talks, that "idgf" attitude that is a red flag for me. And that's a sad surprise bc i always thought they loved Madonna.
I need to point something out about M with Truth Or Dare. The way M doubted Mama Makeup and the rape story really was terrible. The Sharon Gault story is just sad. Madonna laughed and wouldn't even bother listening. Years later, M claims she was raped in the early days of her career. That would NEVER "fly" today. M should have listened and talked to Sharon, but instead, she laughed.
It wasn’t just Madonna that did not take Sharon’s story too seriously, Niki and Donna didn’t really pay any attention to her nor did the other dancers except Carlton. Kevin, one of the dancers implied in a podcast interview that Sharon stretched the truth of what actually happened, I think they were all a bit dubious about her story.
Newsflash. Madonna doesn't walk on water. SHOCKING. If we all had a camera on us 24/7 for a large chunk of time we would all be shown doing something we would not be proud of after the fact.
Maybe is just me but somebody (nikki) texted him... you can see before that she is texting or doing something with the phone. Or someone from the production. I don't bite that type of "coincidences"
And look at Mariah today. She can only sing those annoying high whistle notes and nothing below them. Watch any live performance over the past few years and she sounds terrible. Karma comes back and bites people.
I'm sorry. I love Madonna (just saw her in Brooklyn a month ago) but Mariah slander is never allowed in my presence! And her comment was complimentary to the song btw ...@@RockinDaBoombox
Because that’s what most listeners/viewers want to hear. Let’s face that reality. And they worked with her for two decades. That’s a big chunk out of someone’s life.

That speaks A LOT about Madonna as a person, as a human being. Great on her! 👏🏻
yes
@@Nicool4s yes
Also keep in mind, she also had to protect herself from getting run over and taken advantage of, hence that "hard" persona.
yes@@muek
I just shot a video with Carlton! What a fantastic interview.
Right? Me too I had him in feel free to check it out on our back feed. I agree loved him
4:51 _"I think that people don't understand how much good work she does behind the scenes."_
4:56 _"Like whaaat?"_ (He nailed it! 😂)
Yes, excellent!
Hmm
lol
I wish this was one big video and not cut up
You can listen to the entire thing on Apple or Spotify DM us on IG @behindvelvetrope and I’ll send the link

Well, Mariah Carey always had some problem with Madonna. Don't know what's the reason for it(not sure if she does either).
Mariah said it wasn't a song meant for a power singer (and it's not. No Madonna song is meant that way). But the power part is what she wanted the Idol contestant to sing and she gave credit to Niki for that.

Saw Truth or Dare in a Theater when it first came out and was an uplifting experience.
Same
❤❤❤ your Modonna series David !
Thank u
I think niki has resentment towards to Madonna.
I don't think so I feel; she knows her lane and is acclimated to it....
A lot said it
Yes

Nikkie would love to be interviewed alone so it seems.
Yes
Donna hardly had the space to speak
Carlton ❤
we had him on too - the chats on our our back feed

wow
@@senorgato70 yes
Please make a playlist for us
Ok
Holy shit i thought that was a candle 😂
No
Who was Carlton?
We talked to him here on back feed

@markstar6056 dubious are not, they all should have listened. But they all had egos.

nice
@@markstar6056 nice
I’m sorry but Nikki and Donna are the stories! Not some scripted Kurt loader interview.
more vids posted
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ brilhantes
Thank u
Niki is so full of herself. Look up 👀 the video of her talking smack about MADONNA. She has always been jealous and now bitter. move on!!!
Ooohhh
Are you relieved your not currently on tour with her, or are you gals packin up & getting ready to hit the road & join in? lol! :)
Yes
no waaaay Carlton Wilborn just called friend Niki Harris in the midle of the chat about MADONNA! 🤣
Insane
Insane I know
Maybe is just me but somebody (nikki) texted him... you can see before that she is texting or doing something with the phone. Or someone from the production. I don't bite that type of "coincidences"
She called Bono Bone-O
Lol
Ahh I remember that comment Mariah made!

@@RockinDaBoombox Mariah is still successful. Nice try though.
@@HappyPerson870 If people watch, stream, and buy Mariah they can give an honest opinion if it is based on the way they feel.
yes
Nikki 😂
Yes
So basically these two ladies came on this podcast to spend 90 percent of the time talking about Madonna?. Awesome.
Hi
Because that’s what most listeners/viewers want to hear. Let’s face that reality. And they worked with her for two decades. That’s a big chunk out of someone’s life.
You really want a podcast about Donna's yoga chanting? Or Niki's brief career on a couple of Snap! singles?
@@glasgow-1975 they were bait and they knew it. Here's an idea...how about asking Madonna about Madonna?!!!
@@glasgow-1975 lollllll
