Such a great interview. I do agree Madonna should bring back Niki Harris and Donna DeLory. Some of Madonna’s best stuff we’re with Niki and Donna. With those fine vocalists back, Madonna wouldn’t need to use the auto tune the way she does in her later stuff. I love Niki, I remember during the Drowned World Tour, Niki stopped by the spiritual Agape Church where she performed on a night off from the tour. I just happened to be there too in that church audience. She was incredible.
That's the point, madge doesn't need Nicky and Donna, she has autotune.
Madonna is getting close to be Milli Vanilli @@durianyao
By the way - those new 2023 concerts look miserable and sad.
@@LannieLord absolutely. It's crazy how she can get away with it, if only her fans weren't so dumb.
Truly - just asking - not trolling. Is Madonna performing at age 65 that poorly executed or is it JUST cuz she’s older? Please try to respond without a fight or no intellect - TIA!
Donna and Niki were the best backup for Madonna! I’m a huge fans of these ladies takes me back! love this thank you!
I just saw niki perform at the Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood. The voice is STILL as clear and strong as when she was backing up Madonna. She gave a great show and was gracious with the audience.
OMG.. when Niki talked about going to the club, just drinking water and just loving the music... that was ME.. I always, always felt dance was like a religious experience, with joy. And yes, Madonna's earlier works were joyous, danceful, etc. I loved the remixes.. so I was so happy Niki mentioned this. "Like a Prayer" and "Holiday" are my fav Madonna's song right next to Ofra Haza's "Show me" and "Im Nin Alu". and yes.. the dj's I knew were gracious enough to play these.. :).OMG. I DID find G-d and joy, spirit and fueled my path towards to reconnecting and redefining my own spirituality and Judaism. Happy times..
❤
when i was a dj the owner told me never ever ever play black music because black people do not pay for liquor, they drink water. He said he didn’t want the black people staying there. That’s what your comment reminded me of.
OMG! Those injuries, Niki! I loved the Drowned World tour, and the dancing was amazing! Also, the costumes, hairstyles, and dancing were so on point, making this tour one of Madonna's most aesthetically memorable, imv. By chance I went to this concert, thinking I would see an icon in concert singing her past hits, but what I witnessed that night was so unexpected and spectacular that I became an instant fan.
Yeah!♥️
EXACTLY...Donna and Nikki did give her a sound....one that unfortunately she is unable to duplicate with her current backups ( good too!!)... New subscriber here 👍
I remember getting Madonna's "new" album at the time and after a listen something was missing.. the magic wasn't there. And then I come to find out there was no Nikki Or Donna on it. Yep, they are her sound.
@brockbaby after the advent of things like autotune she dumped Nicky and Donna.
This interview was so uplifting. I was so obsessed with Truth or Dare growing up and it’s so true that Niki and Donna rounded Madonna’s sound off… not only that, but I also believe they were integral to Madonna’s earlier persona.
I haven’t listened to this for a year so have forgotten it - will listen to it like listening anew
A reunion show would be awesome. Madonna sounded the best with Niki and Donna
Agree. I loved watching the three of them together. The tours Madonna went on later on after Niki & Donna's departure lack something. There was more technology included, bigger stage, some special effects but that would never make up for the two "stage pals".
Actually no! She sounds best with autotune or playback.
I love her so much!!!
Girl have watched you from the beginning and you are wonderful. God bless you
I love your videos😍 this channel is definitely going to be big by the end of this year!
more interviews to come! :)
Can’t wait to hear this 😍
Wish the two of them were on The Celebration Tour. 💔🎤👑
Why? when she has autotune. It's much cheaper.
Nicki can sing her face off!♥️
indeed she can!
I LOVE Niki!! great interview!
I love rescue me so much 😍😍
Me too!👍🏽
Weird. I never knew Donna was on the Who's that Girl Tour. I always remember Niki from the Ciao Italia DVD. Supper 🔥🔥🔥
The ciao italia cd was The Who’s that girl tour…
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live for Nikki - Pull up the Geraldo episode with Jose and Luis ...
it's on my channel. 😊
Omg i love Niki , listening to this made me so Happy & she made me laugh 😆
Isn't she wonderful!!!
Love me some Niki Harris!
You gotta skip ahead pretty far before you get to Madonna relevant discussion. The first 15 minutes is about race and America.
That mohawk !!!
I love Niki!!!!!!👍👊💙💙💙😘😘😘😘🌺🌺🌺🔥🔥🌸zane
This was not as interesting as I thought it would be. She goes on 20 minute tangents about life in the pandemic, when all we want to hear about is MMMMadonna !!!!!!
I know. I wanted more of the dish
She was talking more about BLM riots ...but She must still be friends with Madonna - so "NO DISH" . Madonna usually DISCARDS people .... I guess not with Niki. ?
@@zacharynelson4244
Really? I loved her talking about her life. And I’m sure she gets asked questions about Madonna all the time so maybe this was a breath of fresh air for her.
Madonna's inability to embrace looking back, is why Niki & Donna will probably never sing with her onstage again. Their background vocals always enhanced her and made her shine, and when they left, a lot of the magic in her live shows did, too: there's no denying that. In my opinion, she has been lost ever since: the older she gets, the more desperate she looks.
Donna and Nicki DID NOT sing backup on Rescue Me
yes, I clarified that and mentioned why I thought that in the episode following our interview with her
Love Nikki (And Madonna..And Donna). That said - C’mon Nikki. Be real: 1) There NO way you never heard the name “Madonna” or ANY of her music when you dropped everything, left a solid, paid gig with the ‘Righteous’ Bros in Vegas…and flew to audition for some unknown artist!? 2) Madonna ONLY inspired n taught you. What would happen if you ceased expounding on thirsting for “TRUTH” and actually spoke it, shared it!? I.E: Oft times, Madonna treated you, Donna, everyone but especially her ‘Primary Person’ (Brother Christopher) as Narcissistic Toys! She couldn’t even make the wise and fan pleasing choice to come to your show seats at MSG/NYC show, hand you n Donna two mic’s..and Thrill us all by singing a few bars of “RAIN.” Instead she ‘PLAYS/ MANIPULATES’ you (under the radar) by bringing up Kelly Rippa. Too obvious. 😏

Its so disappointing to hear people like Niki say she has found God and then in her own dialogue she is hesitant about saying that and she retracts and sugar coats it with "spirituality, pure love, whatever you call it." If you found Christ, who is God...then dont be apologetic about it. Be bold for Him. Dont come at it with your world catering gimmicks because then, your declarations of finding God are bogus and of no effect to spreading the truth of Christ to a lost world. So, let me ask you: Have you truly found Christ? or is this simply a way of trying to find a way to fit in or being relevant?
What are you on about? lol. I’m sure she used that language so that she could apply what she was saying to all people not just Christians. You don’t need to constantly shove Jesus in peoples faces to be a Christian.

SUCH A SENSITIVE BEAUTIFUL BRILLIANT TALENTED WOMAN. I LOVE HA XOXO
